Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a waste heat recovery device, in particular to a heating, ventilation and air conditioning waste heat recovery device, belonging to the technical field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Background Art

[0002] HVAC is a system that combines heating, ventilation and air conditioning functions. It is usually used inside buildings to provide a comfortable indoor environment. During the operation of HVAC, the waste heat in the HVAC system usually refers to the heat energy generated during the heating or cooling process. It is usually a by-product of the system operation. Most existing HVAC systems do not have waste heat utilization devices, and usually directly discharge the hot air discharged by the air conditioning unit outdoors, resulting in energy waste.

[0003] In the Chinese patent application publication CN216384526U, a HVAC waste heat utilization device is disclosed, which filters the exhaust gas of the warm air conditioner by setting a filter plate. The filtered exhaust gas with the waste heat directly enters the processing box to dry the clothes inside.

[0004] Although the above patent utilizes the waste heat of exhaust gas during use, since the exhaust gas from the air conditioner contains toxic and harmful substances, filtering by the filter plate alone may not be clean, and the toxic and harmful substances may enter the treatment box and come into contact with the clothes, causing contamination of the clothes.

[0005] In the Chinese patent application disclosure specification CN219120737U, a HVAC waste heat recovery device is disclosed. Through the cooperation of the HVAC body, connecting pipes and heating chamber, the waste heat discharged by the HVAC body is transferred to the interior of the heating chamber and heats the water to be heated inside the heating chamber. The heated water to be heated heats the water inside the heating pipe. Through the installation of the exhaust pipe, the waste heat discharged into the heating chamber is quickly discharged after heating the water to be heated.

[0006] Although the above patent can realize the recovery and utilization of waste heat in the exhaust gas when in use, and can also prevent toxic and harmful substances in the air-conditioning exhaust gas from contaminating the heated water inside the heating chamber, but because the air-conditioning exhaust gas contains particulate matter, the particulate matter will clog the heating pipe after long-term use, and the bent heating pipe is not convenient to clean, which affects its normal operation.

[0007] Therefore, a HVAC waste heat recovery device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model provides a HVAC waste heat recovery device to achieve the utilization of HVAC waste heat while keeping the waste heat clean, and at the same time facilitate the cleaning of the waste heat collection device to maintain its normal operation.

Impurities in the air can be filtered out by the filter plate, so that clean air from the outside can enter the air pump.

[0013] An air intake pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the waste heat collection bin, and the air intake pipe is connected to the exhaust port of the external HVAC. The connection position between the air intake pipe and the waste heat collection bin is located below the first copper fin plate.

[0014] The upper surface of the waste heat collection bin is fixedly connected to an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is located above the first copper fin plate. The exhaust gas of the air conditioner is discharged through the exhaust pipe after passing through the first copper fin plate.

[0015] A guide tube is fixed to the bottom surface of the waste heat collection bin, and a cap is installed at the bottom end of the guide tube. During normal use, the cap is in an installed state to prevent exhaust gas from leaving the guide tube.

At the same time, the drain pipe can balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cabinet.

[0017] The utility model provides a HVAC waste heat recovery device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The HVAC waste heat recovery device transfers the waste heat in the air-conditioning exhaust gas to the second copper fin by setting a first copper fin plate and a first heat exchange tube. The second copper fin plate then heats the air in the air duct, so that the air duct discharges the heated hot air when exhausting air in the cabinet, thereby increasing the temperature inside the cabinet and completing the drying of the clothes hung inside the cabinet. During this period, the exhaust gas does not come into contact with the clothes placed inside the cabinet, thereby realizing the utilization of the HVAC waste heat while keeping the waste heat clean.

[0019] 2. The HVAC waste heat recovery device transfers the waste heat to the first copper fin plate by passing the exhaust gas of the HVAC into the waste heat collection bin, and then the waste gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe. When cleaning is required after long-term use, it is only necessary to use a nozzle to flush the first copper fin plate to wash away the dust particles adhering to its upper surface to complete the cleaning. After flushing the first copper fin plate, the sewage can be discharged through the guide tube. At the same time, the filter plate can be disassembled and cleaned to complete the overall maintenance, which is convenient for cleaning the waste heat collection device to maintain its normal operation.
