Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wet film heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a wet film heat exchanger that facilitates water recovery. Background Technology

[0002] Wet film heat exchangers are widely used in air conditioning systems due to their ease of use and economy. They are primarily used for regulating air humidity by directly distributing water onto the surface of a wet film material. Through air circulation, dry air is humidified and its temperature is lowered, thereby increasing the relative humidity and water content of the air. However, in most air conditioning systems, direct drainage is used without collection, or a separate open fixed water pan is employed for circulation. This is prone to leakage, requires separate installation of components, increases the difficulty of maintenance, and results in significant waste in water-scarce areas. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wet film heat exchanger that facilitates water recovery to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wet film heat exchanger that facilitates water recovery, thereby addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A wet film heat exchanger that facilitates water recovery includes: an outer frame, a wet film profile installed on the inner side of the outer frame, a water collection trough provided below the wet film profile, the two ends of the water collection trough being welded and fixed to the bottom end of the outer frame, and a baffle plate provided on the side of the water collection trough located in the air outlet direction, the two ends of the baffle plate being welded and fixed to the bottom end of the outer frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer frame includes a left side plate and a right side plate, with water distribution pipes welded to the top of the left side plate and the right side plate, and a water distribution area welded below the water distribution pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, the right side of the water distribution pipe is threaded with a water inlet connector.

[0008] Furthermore, mounting holes are machined on the left and right side plates respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a water supply connector is welded to the right side of the water collection tank, and a water return connector is welded to the bottom of the water collection tank.

[0010] The wet film heat exchanger provided by this utility model, which facilitates water recovery, has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] This utility model welds the water collection trough to the left and right side plates respectively to form a sealed water storage space, replacing the separate water tray, reducing installation parts and saving materials;

[0012] This invention features a baffle plate on the side of the water collection trough facing the air outlet direction. This prevents water from splashing when it flows through the wet membrane profile and reduces water overflow, thus preventing intermittent water leakage. Attached Figure Description
