[0043] The condensation module 14 is arranged in the breathable chamber 111; the circulation module 15 is arranged in the breathable chamber 111 and the air treatment chamber 113, connecting the condensation module 14 and the evaporator 12 to form a cooling circulation system;

[0044] The pipeline system 20 includes a supply air pipe 21 connecting the air outlet 102 with the inside of the grain bin and a return air pipe 22 connecting the air inlet 103 with the inside of the grain bin. The end of the supply air pipe 21 penetrating into the inside of the grain bin and the end of the return air pipe 22 penetrating into the inside are arranged laterally opposite to each other, and a nozzle 211 is installed at the end of the supply air pipe 21 penetrating into the inside of the grain bin, and a filter screen 221 is installed at the end of the return air pipe 22 penetrating into the inside.

The condensation fan 142 is installed on the front panel of the body 11 corresponding to the breathable chamber 111, and forced heat exchange is realized by the cooperation of the condensation fan 142 and the condenser 141.

[0046] Thus, compared with the existing grain bin air conditioning units for grain surface cooling, both of the above two embodiments have a more reasonable layout of the breathable chamber 111, the blowing chamber 112 and the air treatment chamber 113 inside the body 11, requiring less lateral installation space and having more diverse styles.

[0053] Further, in the above embodiments, the air conditioner main unit 10 is equipped with a wall-mounted mounting bracket 104 at the bottom of the machine body 11 for wall-mounted installation.

[0054] It can be understood that the refrigeration cycle process of an improved grain surface cooling grain bin air conditioner unit of the present invention when sending air to the grain surface is as follows: The compressor 32 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the condenser 141 and exchanges heat forcibly through the condensation fan 142 to take away the heat; the refrigerant enters the liquid receiver 33 and passes through the dryer filter 34 and the sight glass 35 in sequence, and throttles with the expansion valve 36; the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid and evaporates into a gas in the evaporator 12, absorbing the heat of the air passing through the evaporator 12 to cool the air; after the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 31, after separating a small part of the refrigerant liquid, the refrigerant gas enters the compressor 32 for compression to complete a cycle.

[0055] In summary, an improved grain surface cooling granary air conditioning unit of the present utility model, through the cooperation between the air conditioning main unit 10 and the pipeline system 20, requires the air to be cooled to be input into the air conditioning main unit 10 from the return air duct 22.

Moreover, it requires less lateral installation space and has more diverse styles according to its structure.
