Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an energy-saving air conditioning dual-evaporation condensing outdoor unit. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, existing evaporative outdoor units consist of a heat exchanger, a fan, a water pump, and a spray system. Their working principle is as follows: High-pressure superheated refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor enters the evaporative outdoor unit. Through the circulating cooling water and the spray system, a uniform water film forms on the surface of the heat exchanger. This cooling water film absorbs heat from the refrigerant through the heat exchanger surface. A portion of the cooling water evaporates into water vapor and is discharged into the atmosphere by the fan, while the refrigerant is cooled and condensed into a high-pressure liquid. The unevaporated cooling water undergoes heat and mass exchange through mixing with the ambient air brought in by the fan, lowering its temperature before being sprayed into the water tank to continue participating in the cooling and condensation cycle of the refrigerant.
[0003] During operation, the water sprayed from the spray device passes quickly over the surface of the heat exchanger in the aforementioned evaporative outdoor unit. The heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger is not ideal, and some of the cooling water directly enters the water tank for recycling, resulting in a less than ideal heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger and a relatively low overall energy efficiency of the existing evaporative outdoor unit.

[0020] This utility model provides an energy-saving air conditioner dual-evaporation condensing outdoor unit, including: a shell, refrigerant piping, and a water circulation system. The shell has an air inlet and an air outlet. A wet curtain is installed at the air inlet, and a fan is installed at the air outlet. The refrigerant piping is connected to the refrigerant piping of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. During cooling, water in the water tank, driven by a water pump, enters the first spray device and the second spray device through the water circulation system. The first spray device sprays water onto the second heat exchange section. The sprayed water falls on the surface of the second heat exchanger and forms a water film, exchanging heat with the refrigerant inside the second heat exchange section. Subsequently, the incompletely evaporated sprayed water drips into the water tank. The second spray device sprays water onto the wet curtain. After evaporation and heat absorption, the remaining sprayed water on the wet curtain cools down and eventually drips. Outdoor fresh air, driven by the fan, enters the housing through the air inlet and falls into the water tank. The air first exchanges heat and moisture with the wet curtain, lowering its temperature. The cooled air then flows to the second heat exchange section, where it exchanges heat and moisture with the sprayed water on its surface and the refrigerant inside. After these two heat and moisture exchanges, the air reaches the first heat exchange section and exchanges heat with the refrigerant inside. Finally, it exits the housing through the air outlet. The compressor sends the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas from the indoor unit into the refrigerant pipeline. The refrigerant gas is pre-cooled once by the air discharged after the two heat and moisture exchanges in the first heat exchange section. After this pre-cooling, the refrigerant enters the second heat exchange section for further cooling, transforming the cooled refrigerant gas into liquid refrigerant, which then flows into the indoor unit. This invention combines air-cooled condensation technology, evaporative condensation technology, and evaporative cooling technology to reduce condensation temperature and pressure, thereby greatly improving the unit's energy efficiency ratio and achieving high-efficiency energy saving. It makes full use of natural cold sources to cool the refrigerant, making it more energy-efficient and efficient than traditional pure air-cooled heat dissipation.

[0026] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model embodiment provides an energy-saving air conditioner dual-evaporation condensing outdoor unit, characterized in that it includes:
[0028] Housing 1, wherein the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102;
[0029] Evaporative cooling pad 2 is installed at the air inlet 101;
[0030] A fan (not shown in the figure) is installed at the air outlet 102;
[0031] A refrigerant pipe 3 is disposed inside the housing 1. A first heat exchange section 4 and a second heat exchange section 5 are disposed on the refrigerant pipe 3. The positions of the first heat exchange section 4 and the second heat exchange section 5 correspond to the positions of the air outlet 102.
[0032] The water circulation system 6 includes a water tank 601, a water pump 602, a water circulation pipeline 603, a first spray device 604, and a second spray device 605. The first spray device 604 is connected to the water tank 601 through the water circulation pipeline 603. The position of the first spray device 604 corresponds to the positions of the first heat exchange unit 4 and the second heat exchange unit 5. The second spray device 605 is connected to the water tank 601 through the water circulation pipeline 603. The position of the second spray device 605 corresponds to the position of the wet curtain 2.
[0033] This utility model provides an energy-saving air conditioner dual-evaporation condensing outdoor unit, including: a shell 1, a refrigerant pipeline 3, and a water circulation system 6. The shell 1 has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102. A wet curtain 2 is installed at the air inlet 101, and a fan is installed at the air outlet 102. The refrigerant pipeline 3 is connected to the refrigerant pipeline 3 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. During cooling, water in the water tank 601, driven by the water pump 602, enters the first spray device 604 and the second spray device 605 through the water circulation pipeline 603. The first spray device 604 sprays water onto the second heat exchange section 5. The sprayed water falls on the surface of the second heat exchanger and forms a water film, exchanging heat with the refrigerant inside the second heat exchange section 5. Subsequently, the incompletely evaporated sprayed water drips into the water tank 601. The second spray device 605 sprays water onto the wet curtain 2. The sprayed water on the wet curtain 2 absorbs heat through evaporation. The remaining spray water will decrease in temperature and eventually drip into the water tank 601. Outdoor fresh air, driven by the fan, enters the housing 1 through the air inlet 101. The air first exchanges heat and moisture with the wet curtain 2, and the air temperature is reduced. The cooled air flows to the second heat exchange section 5 driven by the fan, and exchanges heat and moisture with the spray water on the surface of the second heat exchange section 5 and the refrigerant inside the second heat exchange section 5. After two heat and moisture exchanges, the air reaches the first heat exchange section 4 and exchanges heat with the refrigerant inside the first heat exchanger. Finally, it is discharged from the housing 1 through the air outlet 102. The compressor sends the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas in the indoor unit of the air conditioner into the refrigerant pipeline 3. The refrigerant gas first undergoes pre-cooling with the air discharged after two heat and moisture exchanges in the first heat exchange section 4. After one pre-cooling, the refrigerant enters the second heat exchange section 5 for cooling. The cooled refrigerant gas becomes refrigerant liquid and flows into the indoor unit of the air conditioner. This utility model combines air-cooled condensation technology, evaporative condensation technology, and evaporative cooling technology to reduce condensation temperature and condensation pressure, thereby greatly improving the unit's energy efficiency ratio and achieving high-efficiency energy saving. It makes full use of natural cold sources to cool the refrigerant, and compared with traditional pure air-cooled heat dissipation, this unit is more energy-efficient and efficient.
[0034] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first spray device 604 is located above the second heat exchange section 5, the first heat exchange section 4 is located above the first spray device 604, and the air outlet 102 is located above the first heat exchange section 4.
[0035] In this embodiment, the air outlet 102, the fan, the first heat exchange section 4, the first spray device 604, and the second heat exchange section 5 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the housing 1. High-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas first flows into the first heat exchange section 4, where it exchanges heat with the air that has undergone two heat and moisture exchanges for pre-cooling. The pre-cooled refrigerant gas has a lower temperature and pressure, and then enters the second heat exchange section 5 for further cooling and condensation. After sufficient evaporation and cooling, the heat of the refrigerant flowing through the second heat exchange section 5 is effectively transferred to the spray water and the air. Simultaneously, the air temperature after heat and moisture exchange in the second heat exchanger is lower than the outdoor air temperature. This air first passes through the first heat exchange section 4 to pre-cool the higher-temperature refrigerant, and then is discharged outdoors by the fan, fully utilizing natural cold sources to cool the refrigerant, resulting in energy saving and high efficiency. This layout also makes the overall structure of the energy-saving air conditioner's dual-evaporation-condensing outdoor unit more compact, reducing the floor space and improving system integration. Furthermore, it optimizes the airflow path, reducing airflow resistance and making the entire heat exchange process more efficient and smooth.
[0036] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first heat exchange section 4 includes a first inlet main pipe 401, a first outlet main pipe 402, and a plurality of first heat exchange branch pipes 403, wherein the two ends of the first heat exchange branch pipes 403 are respectively connected to the first inlet main pipe 401 and the first outlet main pipe 402.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first heat exchange section 4 includes a first inlet main pipe 401, a first outlet main pipe 402, and a plurality of first heat exchange branch pipes 403. The first heat exchange branch pipes 403 have a serpentine structure. The design of the serpentine heat exchange branch pipes increases the contact area between the refrigerant and the air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0042] In a further embodiment of this invention, the second heat exchange branch pipe 503 is a bare copper pipe.
[0043] In this embodiment, the second heat exchange branch pipe 503 is a bare copper pipe. The water film on the surface of the copper pipe is more uniform and free of dry spots, which reduces the possibility of corrosion and scaling, making the heat exchange efficiency more stable and extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the evaporation and condensation technology is adopted, which utilizes the vaporization of water to absorb heat from the refrigerant and improves the condensation efficiency.
[0044] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first spray device 604 includes a first spray pipe 606 and a plurality of first spray heads 607.

The second spray pipe 608 is connected to the water tank 601 through the water circulation pipe 603, and the second spray heads 609 are connected to the second spray pipe 608.
[0045] In this embodiment, the water in the water tank 601 is sprayed onto the second heat exchange section 5 through the first spray head 607, effectively reducing the refrigerant temperature. The water in the water tank 601 is sprayed onto the wet curtain 2 through the second spray head 609, thereby reducing the temperature of the air entering the housing 1 and improving the air heat exchange efficiency. After the spray water from the first spray head 607 undergoes heat exchange in the second heat exchange section 5, its temperature rises. The incompletely evaporated spray water drips into the water tank 601, causing the overall temperature of the water in the water tank 601 to rise. The spray water from the second spray head 609 sprays onto the wet curtain 2, effectively reducing the air temperature and enhancing the cooling effect of the entire system. At the same time, the spray water on the wet curtain 2 also evaporates and absorbs heat. The remaining spray water cools down and finally drips into the water tank 601, effectively neutralizing the water temperature of the spray water dripping onto the second heat exchange section 5, effectively maintaining the water temperature balance of the system and reducing energy consumption.
