Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-4.

[0016] This application discloses a cleanroom HVAC supply and exhaust waste heat recovery heat exchanger 4. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cleanroom HVAC supply and exhaust waste heat recovery heat exchanger 4 includes a heat exchanger body 41, which has a first heat exchange channel 411 and a second heat exchange channel 412. The first heat exchange channel 411 and the second heat exchange channel 412 are isolated from each other. The fluid in the first heat exchange channel 411 is used to exchange heat with the fluid in the second heat exchange channel 412. The cleanroom HVAC supply and exhaust waste heat recovery heat exchanger 4 includes an inlet air filter 24, which is connected to the heat exchanger body 41 and covers the first heat exchange channel 411. The heat exchanger body 41 is connected to a first shaft 42, which is rotatably connected to the body 41. The axis of the heat exchanger body 41 coincides with the axis of the first shaft 42. The heat exchanger body 41 is connected to a drive assembly 5 for driving the heat exchanger body 41 to rotate.

[0017] In use, referring to Figures 3 and 4, if it is necessary to clean the air inlet filter 24, the drive assembly 5 drives the heat exchanger body 41 to rotate, so that the air inlet filter 24 rotates to the exhaust duct 3. Since impurities are blocked to one side of the air inlet filter 24 under normal working conditions, in the cleaning state, the drive assembly 5 drives the air inlet filter 24 to rotate to the exhaust duct 3, and the air from the exhaust fan 31 blows from the other side of the air inlet filter 24 to the air inlet filter 24, thereby blowing out the impurities attached to the air inlet filter 24, thus achieving the cleaning of the air inlet filter 24 without disassembling it.

[0018] Specifically, the axis of the first shaft 42 coincides with the axis of the heat exchanger body 41, and the first shaft 42 is fixedly connected to one end face of the heat exchanger body 41. Furthermore, the first heat exchange channel 411 and the second heat exchange channel 412 are arranged perpendicularly, and the fluid in the first heat exchange channel 411 exchanges heat with the fluid in the second heat exchange channel 412.

[0019] Furthermore, the heat exchanger body 41 is connected to a second shaft, which is coaxially arranged with the first shaft 42 and is used for rotatable connection with the body 1.

[0020] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the first heat exchange channel 411 has a first inlet 4111 and a first outlet 4112, and the second heat exchange channel 412 has a second inlet 4121 and a second outlet 4122. The air inlet filter 24 covers the first outlet 4112. Specifically, the air inlet filter 24 is welded to the heat exchanger body 41.

[0021] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first shaft 42 is defined as a cross-section, and the heat exchanger body 41 is square in cross-section. The drive assembly 5 can drive the heat exchanger body 41 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Setting the cross-section as a square ensures that after the drive assembly 5 drives the heat exchanger body 41 to rotate 90 degrees, it still maintains the state before rotation, achieving consistency before and after rotation and reducing the impact of rotation on sealing.

[0022] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the extension direction of the first heat exchange channel 411 is parallel to the length direction of one side of the heat exchanger body 41 in the cross-section, and the extension direction of the second heat exchange channel 412 is parallel to the length direction of the other side of the heat exchanger body 41 in the cross-section.

[0023] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the heat exchanger body 41 has a first sidewall 413, a second sidewall 414, a third sidewall 415, and a fourth sidewall 416. In a clockwise direction, the first sidewall 413, the second sidewall 414, the third sidewall 415, and the fourth sidewall 416 are arranged sequentially around the rotation axis of the heat exchanger body 41. The first sidewall 413 has a first inlet 4111, the second sidewall 414 has a second inlet 4121, the third sidewall 415 has a first outlet 4112, and the fourth sidewall 416 has a second outlet 4122.

[0024] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the extension direction of the first heat exchange channel 411 is perpendicular to the first sidewall 413 and the third sidewall 415, and the extension direction of the second heat exchange channel 412 is perpendicular to the second sidewall 414 and the fourth sidewall 416. Further, the first sidewall 413 is perpendicular to the second sidewall 414, the second sidewall 414 is perpendicular to the third sidewall 415, the third sidewall 415 is perpendicular to the fourth sidewall 416, and the first sidewall 413 is perpendicular to the fourth sidewall 416.

[0025] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 51, which is fixedly connected to the body 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 42. Specifically, the drive motor 51 is a servo motor or a stepper motor, and the motor housing of the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the body 1.

[0026] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the main body 1 has an air supply duct 2 and an air exhaust duct 3. The air supply duct 2 includes a first sub-air supply duct 211 and a second sub-air supply duct 212, which are located on both sides of the heat exchanger main body 41, respectively. The air exhaust duct 3 includes a first sub-exhaust duct 311 and a second sub-exhaust duct 312, which are located on both sides of the heat exchanger main body 41, respectively. The cleanroom HVAC waste heat recovery heat exchanger 4 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first inlet 4111 is connected to the first sub-supply air duct 211, the first outlet 4112 is connected to the second sub-supply air duct 212, the second inlet 4121 is connected to the first sub-exhaust air duct 311, and the second outlet 4122 is connected to the second sub-exhaust air duct 312. In the second state, the first outlet 4112 is connected to the first sub-exhaust air duct 311, the first inlet 4111 is connected to the second sub-exhaust air duct 312, the second inlet 4121 is connected to the first sub-supply air duct 211, and the second outlet 4122 is connected to the second sub-supply air duct 212.

[0027] With the above scheme, referring to Figure 3, in the first state, the air inlet filter 24 blocks impurities, and the blocked impurities are located on the side of the air inlet filter 24 facing the first heat exchange channel 411.

[0028] When it is necessary to clean the inlet air filter section 24, the drive motor 51 drives the heat exchanger body 41 to rotate 90 degrees to change to the second state. Referring to Figure 4, in the second state, the inlet air filter section 24 is located in the exhaust air duct 3. The exhaust fan 31 blows air from the first sub-supply air duct 211 into the first heat exchange channel 411, so as to blow impurities out of the inlet air filter section 24, and clean the inlet air filter section 24 without disassembling it.

[0029] Specifically, the heat exchanger body 41 includes several partitions 43, several pairs of first blocking parts 44, and several pairs of second blocking parts 45. The partitions 43 are stacked along the thickness direction of the partitions 43. Each pair of first blocking parts 44 is located between a pair of adjacent partitions 43, and each pair of second blocking parts 45 is located between a pair of adjacent partitions 43. The partitions 43, the blocking parts, and the second blocking parts 45 are all connected. The length direction of the first blocking parts 44 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second blocking parts 45. Each pair of first blocking parts 44 and a pair of adjacent partitions 43 form a first heat exchange channel 411, and each pair of second blocking parts 45 and a pair of adjacent partitions 43 form a second heat exchange channel 412. The several first heat exchange channels 411 and several second heat exchange channels 412 are arranged alternately.

[0030] Furthermore, several partitions 43 are brazed to several pairs of first blocking parts 44, and several partitions 43 are brazed to several pairs of second blocking parts 45.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
