Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-to-water generator technology, specifically a dual-cycle DC air-to-water generator. Background Technology

[0002] An air-to-water generator, also known as an air-to-water machine or air-to-water extractor, is a device that extracts drinking water from the air. The process mainly involves several steps: air filtration, air condensation, water collection, and water purification filtration. The water is produced through air condensation, which occurs when air is cooled as it passes through the evaporator of a refrigeration system. The water vapor contained within the air condenses upon contact with the evaporator, forming liquid water.

[0003] Existing air-to-water generators suffer from problems such as excessively high refrigerant pressure in the evaporator and condenser, excessively cold upper part of the evaporator and insufficient temperature in the lower part to perform work, and excessively high upper part of the condenser and severe temperature drop in the lower part. This results in a significant amount of ineffective work being done by the entire system, increasing energy consumption. Therefore, a dual-cycle DC air-to-water generator is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

This reduces energy loss and improves water production efficiency. It solves the problems of existing air-to-water generators, such as excessively high refrigerant pressure in the evaporator and condenser, undercooling the upper part of the evaporator while the lower part is insufficient to perform work, and excessively high temperature in the upper part of the condenser while the lower part experiences severe temperature decay.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 Presented is a dual-cycle DC air-to-water generator. This utility model includes an air inlet box 1, an evaporator 2 and a condenser 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the air inlet box 1, a compressor 4 fixedly connected to the inner side of the air inlet box 1, a centrifugal fan 5 fixedly connected to the inner side of the air inlet box 1, a fluid pipe 6 fixedly connected to one end of the compressor 4, a loop pipe 7 provided on the inner side of both the evaporator 2 and the condenser 3, the outer side of the fluid pipe 6 communicating with the outer side of the condenser 3, a connecting pipe 8 communicating with the outer loop pipe 7 of the evaporator 2, and a return pipe 9 communicating with the compressor 4. The inner sides of the loop pipe 7, fluid pipe 6, connecting pipe 8 and return pipe 9 are copper tubes with an internal spiral centrifugal structure.

[0026] The inner sides of the return pipe 7, fluid pipe 6, connecting pipe 8, and return pipe 9 are made of copper tubes with an internal spiral centrifugal structure. The diameter of the copper tubes is 9.52mm, which allows the refrigerant to be accelerated through the spiral structure, thus accelerating the fluid circulation. The principle is that the airflow rotates under the action of the internal spiral, and the gas is accelerated to be discharged under the action of centrifugal force, which increases the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid, enhances the heat exchange, and achieves better cooling of the pipe wall while also reducing noise in the turbulent flow of the fluid in the pipe.

[0027] Through append Figure 3 The direction of gas flow can be seen. It can be seen that the compressor 4 introduces the refrigerant into the return pipe 7 outside the condenser 3 through the fluid pipe 6. It can be seen that the condenser has performed a flow splitting operation. The split refrigerant will enter the return pipe 7 inside the condenser 3 through the connecting pipe 8 for further flow splitting, and finally enter the compressor 4 again through the return pipe 9.

[0028] Its two-inlet, two-outlet design allows for full heat transfer in the evaporator 2 and condenser 3 of the chiller, increasing the heat exchange area and improving the overall water production efficiency.

[0029] The air inlet box 1 includes a bottom plate, a top plate and multiple side plates. The outer side of one side plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the centrifugal fan 5, and a filter screen frame 10 is provided on the inner side of one side plate.

[0030] The filter frame 10 can filter the air, improving the quality of the produced water.

[0031] The filter frame 10, evaporator 2, condenser 3 and centrifugal fan 5 are arranged in sequence from left to right, and a water collection tank is opened at the top of the base plate.

[0032] The filter frame 10, evaporator 2, condenser 3 and centrifugal fan 5 are arranged in sequence from left to right, which facilitates water production and improves the overall water production effect.

[0033] A water tank 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the air inlet box 1, and the water tank 11 is located below the condenser 3.

[0034] Water tank 11 allows for easy water filling.

[0035] Both the condenser 3 and the evaporator 2 include horizontal and vertical strips, with multiple horizontal strips.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] During the cooling process, air enters the inside of the air inlet box 1 through the filter frame 10, and then the air is condensed by the condenser 3, which in turn condenses the water molecules in the air, thus enabling water production. Furthermore, the two-inlet and two-outlet design allows for sufficient heat transfer between the evaporator 2 and the condenser 3, increasing the heat exchange area and improving the overall water production effect.
