Several vertically arranged air supply branch pipes 8 and air guide pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the room body 1. The air supply branch pipes 8 and the air guide pipes 9 correspond to each other one by one. One end of the air supply branch pipe 8 is connected to the air supply main pipe 4, and the other end of the air supply branch pipe 8 is inserted into the air guide pipe 9. A gap is left between the inner wall of the air guide pipe 9 and the outer wall of the air supply branch pipe 8.

[0022] Specifically, when in use, the utility model has two operating modes: Mode 1, the air supply pipes 4 on the left and right sides supply air at the same time, and the return air ports 6 on both sides of the return air pipe 5 return air. At this time, the humidified and heated air enters the room body 1 through the air supply pipe 4, the air supply branch pipe 8, and the air guide pipe 9 in sequence, and then flows to the return air ports 6 on both sides of the return air pipe in the room body 1 (such as Figure 4As shown), the air in the room 1 circulates quickly, thereby causing the temperature and humidity in the room 1 to rise quickly; Mode 2, first the left air supply main 4 supplies air, and the return air ports 6 on both sides of the air duct, the opening at the top of the right air duct 9, and the opening at the bottom of the right air duct 9 return air.

The steam after heat exchange is cooled down and condensed into condensed water. The condensed water is discharged into the drainage network after passing through the steam trap 26 and the first drain pipe 25 in sequence.

[0028] In some embodiments, a partition plate 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the heat exchanger 12, and the partition plate 27 is fixedly and sealedly connected to the inner wall of the wind box 10. Specifically, the partition plate 27 is provided to facilitate air flow through the heat exchanger 12, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the heat exchanger 12.

Specifically, the drainage ditch 28 is provided to collect waste water in the wind box 10, and the waste water in the drainage ditch 28 is discharged into the drainage network through the second drainage pipe 29.

[0030] In some embodiments, the return air main pipe 5 is connected to a third drain pipe 30. Specifically, the condensed water in the return air pipe can be discharged into the drainage network through the third drain pipe 30.

[0031] The specific use process of the utility model is as follows: when in use, when the temperature and humidity in the room 1 differ greatly from the set value, the temperature and humidity sensor 7 transmits a signal to the control system 2, and the control system 2 judges to execute mode 1 operation. At this time, the control system 2 starts two fans 14 at the same time, and the air after heating and humidification passes through the fan 14, the first connecting pipe 15, the air supply main pipe 4, the air supply branch pipe 8, and the air guide pipe 9 in turn into the room 1, and then the air in the room 1 passes through the return air port 6, the return air pipe, the second connecting pipe 17, and the air inlet 16 in turn into the wind box 10, so that the temperature and humidity in the room 1 rise rapidly; when the temperature and humidity in the room 1 differ little from the set value, the temperature and humidity sensor 7 transmits a signal to the control system 2, and the control system 2 judges to execute mode 1 operation. At this time, the control system 2 starts two fans 14 at the same time, and the air after heating and humidification passes through the fan 14, the first connecting pipe 15, the air supply main pipe 4, the air supply branch pipe 8, and the air guide pipe 9 in turn into the room 1. Then, the air in the room 1 passes through the return air port 6, the return air pipe, the second connecting pipe 17, and the air inlet 16 in turn into the wind box 10, so that the temperature and humidity in the room 1 rise rapidly. The signal is transmitted to the control system 2, and the control system 2 determines to execute the mode 2 operation. At this time, the control system 2 starts the two fans 14 alternately. When the left fan 14 is started, the heated and humidified air enters the room 1 from the left air duct 9, and then flows to the return air ports 6 on both sides of the return air duct and the openings at the top and bottom of the right air duct 9 for return air. After the left fan 14 has run for a certain period of time, the left fan 14 is turned off and the right fan 14 is started, then the right air duct 9 supplies air, and the return air ports 6 on both sides of the return air duct and the openings at the top and bottom of the left air duct 9 return air. In this way, the fans 14 on the left and right sides operate alternately, so that the air convection circulates in the room 1 and the temperature and humidity are evenly distributed.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the connection method between the control system 2 and the temperature and humidity sensor 7, the electric heater 11, the fan 14, the first control valve 19, the second control valve 22, and the third control valve 24 is the existing technology and will not be repeated here.
