Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air treatment technology, specifically an air treatment system for cooling, dehumidifying, and dust extraction. Background Technology

[0002] Particulate matter smaller than 100μm can float in the air, adversely affecting environmental visibility and the human respiratory system. Even smaller particles can enter the alveoli and, through oxygen exchange, enter the bloodstream, easily causing thrombosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, posing a significant threat to human health. Particles smaller than 1μm pose the greatest threat to human health. Improving indoor air quality requires air purification systems for cooling and dust removal; in areas with high humidity, dehumidification is also necessary. Cooling and dust removal reduce the harm of indoor dust to human health and also reduce energy consumption from air conditioning in summer; dehumidification improves human comfort.

[0003] Traditional air conditioning systems consist of three parts: a frequency converter, a pump, and a refrigeration unit. The condenser within the refrigeration unit primarily transfers heat from the refrigerant to the external environment. However, the gases in the refrigerant are greenhouse gases, and their release into the atmosphere exacerbates the greenhouse effect. Furthermore, traditional air conditioning systems cannot effectively remove dust; if dust removal is required, additional dust removal equipment is needed, increasing energy consumption and costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air handling system that cools, dehumidifies, and absorbs dust. Through the synergistic optimization of multiple technologies, it achieves efficient, energy-saving, and sustainable air handling, which is both environmentally friendly and economical, and meets the development needs of green buildings and healthy homes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is: an air handling system for cooling, dehumidifying, and dust extraction, including a handling box, ventilation ducts, a cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor, a photovoltaic panel, a storage battery, and a hot water storage tank.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 An air handling system for cooling, dehumidifying, and dust removal includes a handling box 1, a ventilation duct 2, a cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3, a photovoltaic panel 4, a storage battery 5, and a hot water storage tank 6.

[0025] The top of the treatment box 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The treatment box 1 is filled with cleaning agent 19. The ventilation duct 2 is assembled into the treatment box 1. The inlet end 21 of the ventilation duct 2 is connected to the air inlet 11. The outlet end 22 of the ventilation duct 2 is evenly provided with exhaust holes placed below the liquid surface of the cleaning agent 19. The cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 is assembled into the inlet end 21 of the ventilation duct 2.

[0026] The hot water storage tank 6 is equipped with an electric heater 61. The photovoltaic panel 4 is electrically connected to the battery 5 and the electric heater 61. The battery 5 is electrically connected to the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 and the electric heater 61. The cold end 31 of the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 is arranged in the ventilation duct 2, and the hot end 32 of the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 is connected to the hot water storage tank 6.

[0027] In this air handling system, the handling unit 1 can be integrated into the building's wall structure. Its air inlet 11 connects to the external environment, while its air outlet 12 connects to the indoor environment, or it can be connected to an air conditioning unit. The cooling and heating semiconductors 3 are arranged in series. Air supplied to the ventilation duct 2 from the inlet 21 is compressed into tiny air balloons as it passes through the cooling and heating semiconductors 3, lowering the air temperature below the dew point. Particulate matter and water vapor are captured in the cleaning agent 19 and transported to the indoor environment through the exhaust vent at the outlet 22, ultimately achieving the cooling, dust removal, and dehumidification of outdoor air.

[0028] Photovoltaic panels 4 are installed outdoors to collect solar energy and convert it into electricity. The converted solar energy is stored in batteries 5, and any excess energy can be used to heat water in a hot water tank 6. Solar energy is a sustainable energy source. The air processed by this system helps reduce air conditioning cooling time, thereby reducing energy consumption, lowering costs, and achieving "energy conservation and emission reduction".

[0029] At high temperatures, this system can both cool the air to achieve the purpose of refrigeration, thereby lowering the indoor temperature and creating a comfortable environment for people in hot climates; it can also remove impurities in the air to prevent the accumulation of indoor pollutants and protect health.

[0030] Furthermore, the device can operate even at low temperatures. Even after the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 is turned off, it can still remove impurities from the intake air, achieving dust removal. The device cleverly utilizes solar energy to generate photovoltaic power, converting solar energy into electrical energy for power supply. This converted electrical energy is stored in the battery 5, which powers the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 and the electric heater 61 in the water tank, heating the domestic water in the hot water tank 6. This provides operational assurance for the entire device without consuming additional energy.

[0031] Even when sunlight is insufficient or at night, the battery 5 can continue to supply the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 with its stored electrical energy, and the hot water storage tank 6 can also be heated using mains electricity.

[0032] When the cooling auxiliary heating semiconductor 3 is energized, its cold end 31 can cool the air in the ventilation duct 2, while its hot end 32 is connected to the hot water storage tank 6 to heat the domestic water in it.

[0033] To ensure that Cleaner 19 effectively removes dust and moisture from the air it passes through, and to eliminate odors from people and pets as well as VOCs, thus preventing the harmful effects of toxic gases on human health, Cleaner 19 uses a water-fruit and vegetable liquid microcapsule air treatment solution.

[0034] Water serves as a carrier to dissolve other active ingredients. The fruit and vegetable extract uses natural extracts from fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits (such as lemons and grapefruits) or plants (such as green tea and aloe vera). It is rich in organic acids (such as citric acid) and polyphenols, and has antibacterial and deodorizing functions. Some fruit and vegetable components (such as bromelain) can decompose protein-based pollutants (such as pet odors and formaldehyde).

[0035] Surfactants, VOC removers, natural antibacterial agents, and pH adjusters can be further added. Surfactants (such as biodegradable alkyl glycosides) can reduce the surface tension of water and enhance the adsorption capacity for particulate matter. VOC removers (such as cyclodextrin) adsorb volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde and benzene compounds through molecular inclusion. Natural antibacterial agents (such as tea tree oil and peppermint extract) can inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold. pH adjusters can maintain the stability of the solution (usually weakly acidic, pH≈5-6).

[0036] Microcapsules (approximately 1–10 μm in diameter) carry a positive charge on their surface, enabling them to electrostatically adsorb negatively charged particulate matter (such as PM2.5 and dust). When air passes through the cleaning agent, the particulate matter is encapsulated in the microcapsules and settles into the liquid. The surfactant reduces the surface tension of the water, making it easier for the particulate matter to be encapsulated by the water film, thus separating it from the air.

[0037] To ensure that outside air can be continuously and efficiently input from the air inlet 11 and transported into the cleaning agent 19 along the ventilation duct 2, and then output through the air outlet 12 of the treatment box 1 after treatment, the following technical solution is provided.

[0038] The air inlet 11 and air outlet 12 of the treatment box 1 are respectively equipped with dustproof mesh A13 and dustproof mesh B14. The air inlet 11 is also equipped with a fan 15. The battery 5 is electrically connected to the fan 15 and is used to supply power to the fan 15.

[0039] The fan 15 can operate by being powered by the battery 5 or by connecting to the mains power, continuously drawing air from the outside environment into the treatment box 1 through the ventilation duct 2. The dustproof mesh A13 prevents large dust particles from entering the treatment box 1 under the drive of the fan 15 and thus contaminating the cleaning agent 19. When the system is off, the dustproof mesh B14 prevents dust present in the indoor environment from entering the treatment box 1 and contaminating the cleaning agent 19.

[0040] To facilitate the testing of air treatment effectiveness and provide intuitive data on air treatment performance, the following technical solutions are offered.

[0041] PM2.5 meter 16, humidity meter 17, and temperature meter 18 are installed at the air inlet 11 and air outlet.

[0042] By using a PM2.5 meter 16, a humidity meter 17, and a temperature meter 18 to detect air data at the air inlet 11 and the air outlet of the air handling unit 1, the air handling system's effectiveness in treating outdoor air can be directly assessed, and the air quality of the input indoor environment can be determined.

[0043] To facilitate the filling and draining of the hot water storage tank 6, the following technical solution is provided.

[0044] The top and bottom of the hot water storage tank 6 are respectively equipped with a water inlet 62 and a drain 63, and a water inlet hose 64 is connected to the water inlet 62.

[0045] Tap water can be added to the hot water storage tank 6 through the water inlet hose 64, water inlet 62, and the heated water can be discharged for domestic use through the drain outlet 63 at the bottom.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
