Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air water extraction, in particular to a water condensation device for increasing condensation speed. Background Art
[0002] The water content in the atmosphere is about 26 times the water content on the surface, so it is feasible to extract water from the air. The principle of air water extraction technology is that water vapor in the air will liquefy into water droplets when it encounters a dew point of water below the local temperature. The use of photovoltaic-driven semiconductor refrigeration does not require energy consumption, which is of great significance for reducing refrigeration energy consumption and achieving zero-carbon environmental protection. However, in the northwest region where the average relative humidity is about 25%, it is difficult to directly condense water using this principle, so it is necessary to design a method of enhanced condensation to improve condensation efficiency. Existing methods of enhanced condensation generally have some unresolved problems:
[0003] A nozzle and direct mixing condenser in the prior art (patent number CN117760230A) can spread the cooling liquid in a wide flow range to obtain a thin liquid film with a large area. However, the film quality is relatively poor, the surface gas flow rate is too fast, and the water vapor in the air cannot be well captured.
[0004] A system for secondary utilization of heat generated by preparing potassium fluoride (patent number CN110467203A), which relies on the natural condensation of water droplets and their fall by gravity. The cold air moves upward, resulting in limited condensation effect and inability to fully condense.
[0005] A steam cooling condenser and its heat exchange device (patent number CN219551244U), which separates the larger water droplets in the steam, condenses them into a shape and then falls into the cavity, fully improving the dryness of the steam and reducing the phenomenon of steam carrying water. However, the condensation cycle is short and the efficiency improvement is not significant.
[0006] A tube condensation system based on nanofluid enhanced heat transfer (patent number CN116592660A), which introduces the nanofluid working medium into the condensation sleeve in the form of steam through an evaporator with an external electric heating ring to dissipate heat and complete phase change, thereby improving the condensation heat exchange performance in the tube. However, the air flowing into the pipe cannot fully contact the condensation tube and flows out, and the condensation effect is not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, an angle a between a line connecting two side ends of the guide vane and a horizontal plane is 20°-45°.
[0012] Furthermore, the angle a is 25°-30°.
[0013] Furthermore, the lower part of the air duct is connected to a water collection port for collecting water condensed in the air duct provided with a condensing device.

[0028] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terminology nouns in the various embodiments, such as words indicating directions such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc., are only for simplifying the description of the positional relationship based on the drawings in the specification, and do not mean that the referred elements and devices must be operated according to the specific directions and specified operations and methods and structures in the specification. Such directional nouns do not constitute limitations on the present utility model.
[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Specific implementation plan 1: Combine Figures 1 to 3As shown, the utility model provides a condensation device for improving the condensation speed, including several rows of uniformly distributed guide blade groups arranged in the air duct 1, each row of guide blade groups includes several uniformly distributed guide blades 2, the positions of each guide blade 2 in two adjacent rows of guide blade groups are one-to-one corresponding, the two adjacent guide blades 2 in each row of guide blade groups are opposite to each other end to end, and the spacing is the same, the guide blades 2 in each row of guide blade groups form a wavy shape to enhance the collision between the air and the guide blades, the guide blades 2 are inverted comma shape, and the angle a between the connecting line of the two side ends of the guide blades 2 and the horizontal plane is 20°-45°; the surface of the guide blade 2 is provided with a hydrophobic condensation surface 201, and the hydrophobic condensation surface 201 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of hydrophilic sites 202; the lower part of the air duct 1 is connected to the water collection port 3 for collecting the water condensed in the air duct 1 provided with the condensation device.
[0031] The hydrophilic modification is performed at a certain distance on the hydrophobic condensation surface 201, thereby obtaining a hydrophilic site 202 that is easier to condense. After the droplets in the air condense on the hydrophilic site 202, they are quickly drained through the hydrophobic site, achieving the purpose of rapid surface renewal, thereby improving the condensation efficiency.
[0032] Preferably, when the angle a between the line connecting the two side ends of the guide blade 2 and the horizontal plane is 25°-30°, and the wind speed entering the air duct 1 is 0.5-0.85m / s, a balance can be achieved between the contradiction between high-speed impact to reduce the energy of water vapor nucleation and the excessive wind speed that intensifies the evaporation of water droplets, thereby improving the condensation efficiency; the alternating distribution of the hydrophilic sites 202 can enable the water vapor to form beaded condensation at the hydrophilic sites 202 more quickly, and be quickly drained away from the hydrophobic condensation surface 201 by the hydrophobic surface around it.
[0033] The distance between two adjacent hydrophilic sites 202 is 5 mm to 10 mm, and the hydrophilic sites 202 are formed by applying a hydrophilic reagent on the hydrophobic condensation surface 201 of the guide vane 2 and waiting for it to dry. The hydrophilic reagent can be an existing reagent such as a carboxylic acid ester solvent, an organic acid or an organic solvent with an amino group, and the hydrophobic condensation surface 201 can be formed by coating the guide vane 2 with fatty acid metal soap, paraffin, polyolefin, silicone resin or fluorocarbon polymer.
[0034] The head-to-tail straight-line distance between two adjacent guide blades 2 in each row of guide blade groups is 2mm-5mm, and the spacing between two adjacent rows of guide blade groups is 20mm-30mm.
[0035] The guide blades 2 are welded in the air duct 1 , or the guide blades 2 and the air duct 1 are integrally formed.
