AI Technical Summary
The surface cooler of a fan coil unit is often submerged in condensate for extended periods, leading to performance degradation or damage. Existing technologies struggle to effectively prevent condensate immersion.
A baffle is installed inside the fan coil unit casing. The baffle contacts the surface cooler and collects condensate. The condensate is then drained through a through hole and a condensate pan pipe to prevent the bottom of the surface cooler from being submerged.
It effectively prevents the bottom of the surface cooler from being soaked in condensate, maintains the stable performance of the surface cooler, avoids damage, and ensures that there is no condensate residue inside the casing.

Abstract
Description
A fan coil unit condensate anti-immersion structure with baffles Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fan coil unit technology, and relates to a fan coil unit condensate anti-immersion structure with a partition. Background Technology
[0002] Fan coil units, with their high efficiency, energy saving, and ease of installation and maintenance, have been widely used in various buildings, including commercial buildings, residences, hospitals, and schools. Fan coil units not only effectively regulate indoor temperature but also control indoor humidity to a certain extent, providing users with a more comfortable living environment.
[0003] The working principle of fan coil units mainly involves the heat exchange process of air. In cooling mode, the surface cooler, as the core component of heat exchange, exchanges heat with the air flowing through the coil through the circulating water in the cooling coil, thereby reducing the air temperature. During this process, condensation forms on the surface, causing the bottom of the surface cooler to be constantly immersed in condensation. Over time, this can lead to a decline in the performance of the surface cooler or damage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fan coil unit condensate anti-soaking structure with a partition, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Preferably, the partition is bent downwards at the middle position to form a V-shape, and at least two through holes are opened at equal intervals at the bend to accelerate the drainage of condensate on the partition.
[0007] Preferably, a condensate tray is provided below the partition, and the condensate tray is installed in the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the condensate tray has a front end and a rear end, and the height of the rear end of the condensate tray is higher than the height of the front end of the condensate tray, so that the front end of the condensate tray is inclined to the front end of the condensate tray.
[0011] The present invention provides a fan coil unit condensate anti-immersion structure with a partition, which has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The baffle plate design prevents the bottom of the surface cooler from being submerged in condensate.
