[0014] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution: an energy-saving air conditioner with a water-making function, comprising a shell 1 and an air-conditioning outdoor unit 17. A channel 2, a channel 3, and a water storage tank 4 are arranged in the shell 1 from top to bottom. An evaporator 7 is fixedly arranged in the channel 2, and the evaporator 7 is connected to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 17 through a pipe 20. A fan 5 is installed at one end of the channel 2. An evaporator 8 is fixedly arranged in the channel 3. The evaporator 8 is connected to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 17 through a pipe 21. A water collecting tank 9 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the evaporator 8. The water collecting tank 9 is connected to the water storage tank 4 through a clean water pipe 10. A fan 6 is installed at one end of the channel 3. A high-efficiency filter 11 is fixedly arranged on the air inlet side of the evaporator 8 in the pipe 21.

[0015] In this embodiment, by starting the fan 5, external air can be sucked into the channel 2, and the air entering the channel 2 is cooled by the evaporator 7. The cooled air is discharged through the fan 5 to realize the air conditioning refrigeration function. When water production is required, the fan 6 is started, and the operating power is converted according to the formula: water intake per hour = processed air volume * air density * moisture content difference. Since the channel 23 is an independent unit to ensure cleanliness, the external air will pass through the high-efficiency filter 11 to filter out dust and other debris when entering the channel 23, and then the filtered clean wet air will be cooled by the evaporator 28. The clean wet air flowing in will be forced to be saturated and precipitate water after cooling, which will produce clean condensed water. The water production capacity is converted according to the given formula according to the water volume requirement, and is designed into equipment of different specifications. The wind speed requirement is less than 1 m / s. The water is then collected through the water collecting tank 9 and discharged into the water storage tank 4 through the clean water pipe 10 for storage. The water tank 4 is provided with a water intake valve for taking water and a liquid level meter. The fans 1 5, 2 6, and the fans and compressors in the air conditioner outdoor unit 17 are all variable frequency type to meet the use requirements.

[0017] In this embodiment, the cold air discharged from evaporator 2 8 will flow to heat exchanger 2 13, so as to cool the refrigerant in heat exchanger 2 13. By starting the circulation pump 15, the refrigerant in heat exchanger 2 13 can be transported to heat exchanger 1 12. Heat exchanger 12 can be used to preliminarily cool the air before it enters evaporator 1 7, thereby reducing the energy consumption required for evaporator 1 7 to cool the air, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0018] As an embodiment of the present utility model, a wind direction adjustment plate 18 is installed in the fan 5 for adjusting the exhaust direction of the fan 5.
