[0016] As shown in the figure, on the basis of the original air-conditioning system, the present utility model adds a heat recovery device on the exhaust side (i.e., the high-temperature and high-pressure side) of the refrigerant circulation system of the unit, and exchanges heat between the water entering the wet film humidifier and the temperature of the refrigerant on the exhaust side, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the temperature of the water entering the humidifier. This process can also effectively change the temperature of the refrigerant entering the condenser in the system, thereby reducing the condensation temperature of the refrigerant, improving the heat exchange effect and reducing the energy consumption of the unit.

[0017] Embodiment 1:

[0018] An air-conditioning heat recovery system with a humidifying function has the following specific structure: it includes a compressor 7, a fin heat exchanger, a wet film humidifier 2, a throttling device, a heat recovery device 1, and a water pump 22; the fin heat exchanger includes an evaporator 5 and a condenser 3.

[0019] The compressor 7 is connected to the heat recovery device 1 through a pipeline, and a post-pressure sensor 72 and a compressor needle valve 73 are arranged on the pipeline connecting the compressor 7 and the heat recovery device 1. The heat recovery device 1 is provided with four interfaces, as Figure 2 shown, the heat recovery device 1 includes four interfaces, namely a refrigerant inlet 11, a refrigerant outlet 12, a water inlet 13, and a water outlet 14; the refrigerant inlet 11 is connected to the compressor 7, the refrigerant outlet 12 is connected to the condenser 3, and the water inlet 13 and the water outlet 14 are respectively connected to the wet film humidifier 2 inside the water tank 21. A water pump 22 is also arranged in the water tank 21 to circulate cold water through the water pump 22 so that it flows in the heat recovery device 1 for heat exchange.

[0020] Below the condenser 3 is a primary filter 32. The rear side of the primary filter 32 is connected to an expansion valve 4. The rear side of the expansion valve 4 is connected to a secondary filter 41. The rear side of the secondary filter 41 is the evaporator 5. The rear side of the evaporator 5 is connected to the compressor 7 through a gas-liquid separator 6; a primary filter 32, an expansion valve 4, and a secondary filter 41 are arranged on the pipeline connecting the heat recovery device 1 and the evaporator joint 51; the front and rear sides of the gas-liquid separator 6 are respectively connected to a pre-needle valve 61 and a post-needle valve 62; a pre-pressure sensor 71 is arranged on the front side of the compressor 7, and a post-pressure sensor 72 and a compressor needle valve 73 are arranged on the rear side of the compressor 7. The above system constitutes a refrigerant circulation system. The present utility model realizes the monitoring of the pressure during the normal operation of the compressor 7 through the pre-pressure sensor 71 and the post-pressure sensor 72 together. The multiple needle valves disclosed above constitute the throttling device of the system.

[0021] The rear side of the heat recovery device 1 is connected to a water inlet pipe and a water return pipe through a water inlet 13 and a water outlet 14, and the water return pipe is connected to a wet film humidifier 2. The wet film humidifier 2 is fixed in a water tank 21, and a water pump 22 is arranged in the water tank 21 and connected to the water inlet pipe to realize water supply circulation.

[0022] A water replenishing port 23 is arranged on the water tank, and the whole water tank 21 is replenished with water through the water replenishing port 23 to ensure that a water supply circulation is formed for the wet film humidifier 2 in the water tank 21.

[0023] To further improve the heat exchange efficiency, the internal structure of the heat recovery device 1 of the present utility model is also improved, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inside of the heat recovery device 1 includes a plurality of vertical fins 16 and a plurality of horizontal fins 15. A plurality of horizontal chambers are formed by the plurality of horizontal fins 15 to connect the water inlet 13 and the water outlet 14; a plurality of vertical chambers are formed by the plurality of vertical fins 16 to connect the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet. Through the above mechanism, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved by means of the plurality of internal fins.

[0024] When the above system operates, the water entering the wet film humidifier 2 first flows through the heat recovery device 1, exchanges heat with the refrigerant on the exhaust side (i.e., the high-temperature and high-pressure side) of the refrigerant circulation system in the heat recovery device 1, raises the water inlet temperature of the wet film humidifier 2 while reducing the temperature of the refrigerant. The refrigerant then enters the outdoor condenser 3 for condensation heat exchange, so that the condensation temperature of the refrigerant can be reduced. After such a cycle, the operation power consumption of the compressor is reduced, and the humidifying effect of the wet film humidifier 2 is improved.
