Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of central air conditioners, and more specifically, to an energy-saving central air conditioner with waste heat recovery. Background Art
[0002] Central air conditioners are common equipment in our daily life. They are often used in hot summer and cold winter. Air conditioner waste heat refers to the energy that is not used in energy utilization equipment under certain economic and technical conditions. It includes high-temperature waste heat, cooling medium waste heat, waste heat of waste gas and waste water, high-temperature products and slag waste heat, etc.
[0003] At present, energy-saving central air conditioners with waste heat recovery structure directly discharge the internal condensed water through the drain pipe, which is detrimental to the urban environment. Moreover, in the current modern society with scarce water resources, the arbitrary discharge of condensed water causes a waste of water resources and is not conducive to environmental protection.
[0004] After searching, a Chinese patent with publication number CN215062796U discloses a central air-conditioning condensate waste heat recovery energy-saving device. The structure connects the condensate pipe with the first conduit. The condensate reaches the bottom of the filter plate of the filter box through the first conduit. The condensate without impurities after precipitation in the filter box passes through the filter plate and reaches the first frame through the second conduit. When the condensate in the first frame no longer has a temperature difference, it is discharged into the water storage tank through the fifth conduit for recycling. At the same time, the exhaust fan is connected to the water storage tank through the sixth conduit. When the sensor contacts the inductor, the buzzer starts to alarm and reminds people that the condensate in the water storage tank is full and needs to be drained through the drain valve, which effectively reduces the random discharge and waste of condensate, can reuse the condensate, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
[0005] However, when this structure is actually used, the condensed water is collected and filtered, but heating still requires external heating means. At the same time, when the central air conditioner is cooling, a large amount of heat energy is discharged into the air, thus causing energy waste. Utility Model Content
