AI Technical Summary
Existing conventional air conditioners cannot be directly installed in gas-fired kitchens. There is a risk that cooking fumes may enter the indoor unit and cause blockages. Furthermore, the combustion of gas may produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, and the increased indoor temperature may affect the comfort of the cook.
By installing a regular wall-mounted air conditioner in a gas-fired kitchen, outdoor air is introduced into the indoor unit of the air conditioner through an air filter, air duct elbow, air duct through-wall pipe, and rectangular air duct for heat exchange and cooling. The air inlet is connected to the rectangular air duct to prevent oil fumes from entering the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
It achieves the goal of lowering kitchen temperature while reducing the production of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, preventing oil fumes from clogging the air conditioner indoor unit, and providing a cool cooking environment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas-fired kitchen air conditioning installation, and more specifically to a method for installing indoor air conditioning in a gas-fired kitchen. Background Technology
[0002] A gas-fired kitchen is a place that uses gas as an energy source, where heat is generated by the combustion of gas for food cooking. During combustion, the released heat raises the indoor temperature, causing discomfort to the cook. If the air supply is insufficient, there is also a risk of incomplete combustion producing harmful gases such as carbon monoxide. Existing ordinary air conditioners are not suitable for direct installation and use in gas-fired kitchens due to the cooking fumes. Therefore, it is essential to invent a method for installing indoor air conditioning in gas-fired kitchens. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for installing an indoor air conditioner in a gas-fired kitchen, in order to solve the problem of drawing in outdoor air, cooling it through the air conditioner, and preventing oil fumes from entering the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0004] This method involves operating a standard wall-mounted air conditioner installed in a gas-fired kitchen. Outdoor air enters the air inlet of the standard wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit sequentially through "air filter, air duct elbow, air duct through-wall pipe, rectangular air duct, and air inlet ring of the air conditioner indoor unit". After being cooled by heat exchange in the air conditioner indoor unit, it is blown out from the exhaust vent, thereby reducing the kitchen temperature and providing a cool working environment for the cook.
[0005] This method introduces outdoor air into the kitchen, resulting in more complete combustion of gas and reducing the production of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide.
[0006] This method connects the air inlet of a regular wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit to a rectangular air duct via an air inlet connector. The rectangular air duct is then connected to a wall-penetrating air duct pipe, which connects to the outside air via an air duct elbow. This effectively isolates the air inlet of the regular wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit from the indoor air, preventing kitchen fumes from entering the air conditioner indoor unit and causing grease blockage.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0014] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-5 The method for installing an indoor air conditioner in a gas-fired kitchen, as shown, includes an air filter 1 made of stainless steel wire mesh to adapt to the outdoor natural climate and prevent mosquitoes and flies from entering. The outer diameter of the air filter 1 matches the inner diameter of the air duct elbow 2. The air duct elbow 2 uses self-tapping screws at its port for fixing and removing the air filter 1. The connection port between the air duct elbow 2 and the air filter 1 faces downward to prevent rain and snow from entering.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the air duct elbow 2 connects to the air duct through-wall pipe 3. For ease of material selection and weather resistance, PVC-U pipes and fittings for building drainage can be used for bonding. The diameter depends on the thickness of the indoor air conditioning unit 6, and is generally DN160 or DN200 PVC-U pipes and fittings. The inner diameter of the air duct elbow 2 matches the outer diameter of the air duct through-wall pipe 3. The port of the air duct through-wall pipe 3 is inserted into the air duct elbow 2. The outer diameter of the air duct through-wall pipe 3 matches the inner diameter of the wall opening. The entire pipe passes through the wall, and the gap in the opening is filled and bonded with polyurethane foam.
[0016] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the air duct through-wall pipe 3 extends out of the inner wall after passing through the wall opening, and the end is inserted into the rectangular air duct 4. The rectangular air duct 4 receives the air duct through-wall pipe 3. The inner diameter of the rectangular air duct 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the air duct through-wall pipe 3. It is made of stainless steel sheet and fixed to the wall with expansion screws.
[0017] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the end of the rectangular air duct 4 is made in a closed state to prevent indoor air from entering. The inner diameter of the rectangular air duct 4 is slightly larger than the thickness of the indoor air conditioning unit 6. The rectangular air duct 4 has an opening at the corresponding part of the indoor air conditioning unit air inlet 7, and the opening size is slightly larger than the indoor air conditioning unit air inlet 7. An indoor air conditioning unit air inlet connector 5 is installed. The indoor air conditioning unit air inlet connector 5 matches the indoor air conditioning unit air inlet 7 and is made of an annular rubber ring. After connection, it prevents indoor air and oil fumes from entering the kitchen.
[0018] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 During this installation method, the air vent 8 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner remains open while the air conditioner is running. As the air conditioner operates normally, outdoor air will pass through the air filter 1, the air duct elbow 2, the air duct wall penetration pipe 3, the rectangular air duct 4, and the air inlet ring 5 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in sequence, and then enter the air inlet 7 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. After heat exchange and cooling in the indoor unit 6 of the ordinary wall-mounted air conditioner, it will be blown out from the exhaust vent 8, thereby reducing the indoor temperature in the kitchen and providing a cool cooking environment.
[0019] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 When the air conditioner is not in operation, the exhaust vent 8 of the indoor unit should be kept closed to prevent kitchen fumes from entering the indoor unit and causing grease blockage.
[0020] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 In this installation method, when the air conditioner is running or stopped, the air inlet ring 5 between the rectangular air duct 4 and the air inlet 7 of the air conditioner indoor unit can block indoor air from entering the ordinary wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 6, thus preventing kitchen fumes from entering the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0021] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, adhesives, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art.
