Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air-water cooled dual-source energy-saving air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to partially or completely regulate the temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of air in a closed space, so that the air parameters of the target environment meet the requirements. It generally includes cold and heat source equipment, cold and heat medium system, terminal devices, and other auxiliary equipment, mainly including water pumps, fans, and pipeline systems.

[0003] While existing air conditioners can effectively cool and heat, the outdoor unit is often operated using air cooling. This results in poor energy efficiency when switching between air and water cooling modes, increases wear and tear, and reduces overall energy savings. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an air-cooled and water-cooled dual-source energy-saving air conditioner to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when using an air conditioner outdoor unit, it is often used directly by air cooling to assist the air conditioner. The energy-saving effect of switching between air-cooled and water-cooled modes is not high, which increases the loss of the air conditioner and reduces the energy-saving effect of the air conditioner.

[0005] This application provides an air-water cooled dual-source energy-saving air conditioner, including an indoor unit body, an outdoor unit body located on one side of the indoor unit body, a fan body inside the indoor unit body, refrigerant fins inside the indoor unit body, a compressor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the refrigerant fins via a connecting pipe, a gas separator body fixedly connected to the outer wall of the compressor via a connecting pipe, a conversion cylinder fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gas separator body via a connecting pipe, a heat exchange coil located inside the outdoor unit body fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conversion cylinder via a connecting pipe, a buffer water tank fixedly connected to the outer wall of the refrigerant fins via a connecting pipe, an electric three-way valve provided at the connection between the refrigerant fins and the buffer water tank, a water tank inside the outdoor unit body, a delivery pipe fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank, a spray pipe fixedly connected to one end of the delivery pipe located inside the outdoor unit body, a fan located at the top of the outdoor unit body, a packing body located below the spray pipe inside the outdoor unit body, and an air inlet located on the outer wall of the outdoor unit body.

[0006] Preferably, the inside of the conversion cylinder is divided into two areas, one of which is a plate fluoride area and the other is a water exchange area.

[0007] Preferably, the conversion cylinder and the refrigerant fin are connected by a water-cooled fin, and an electronic expansion valve is provided at the connection between the conversion cylinder and the refrigerant fin.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the connecting pipe connecting the refrigerant fins and the buffer water tank is equipped with a filter and a circulation pump.

[0009] Preferably, a spray pump is provided on the outer wall of the delivery pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the conversion cylinder and the buffer water tank are connected by a water-cooled fin.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] While existing air conditioners can effectively cool and heat, the outdoor unit is often operated primarily through air cooling. This results in poor energy efficiency when switching between air-cooled and water-cooled systems, increasing energy consumption and reducing overall energy efficiency.

[0013] In use, this invention drives the fan inside the indoor unit to bring the air into contact with the refrigerant fins. Under the action of the compressor, the cold air generated by the refrigerant fins flows. Water or antifreeze in the buffer tank is transported to the water-cooled fins by a circulating pump and a three-way valve. After cooling, the water is transported to the heat exchange coils in the outdoor unit. A spray pump sprays the water in the water tank through spray pipes to create a water curtain. Under the action of the fan, the cooling area and flow of the water cooling are increased, thereby improving the energy-saving effect of dual-source water cooling in air conditioning.
