However, existing air handling systems have a significant problem during operation: the lack of an effective air heat recovery mechanism. Simply put, these systems do not make full use of the latent and sensible heat in the air exhausted from the room, resulting in a large amount of existing indoor energy resources being wasted along with the exhaust air. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, the return air filter filters the air to send it into the evaporator for heating and cooling, and finally the air is transported by a high static pressure blower.
[0006] Preferably, the left part of the unit casing is equipped with a constant air volume exhaust fan and a sensible heat exchanger; the exhaust fan takes the air that has been treated by the filter screen and then passes it through the sensible heat exchanger to exchange the sensible heat in the return air. The heat-treated air is then discharged to the outside by the constant air volume exhaust fan.
[0007] Preferably, the left part of the unit casing is equipped with a fresh air filter and a fresh air fan; the fresh air fan takes the air treated by the fresh air filter and then passes it through a sensible heat exchanger to exchange the sensible heat in the fresh air, and the heat-treated air is sent indoors by the fresh air fan.
[0008] Preferably, the left end of the unit casing has a fresh air end and an exhaust air end; the right end of the unit casing has an air supply end; and the upper end of the unit casing near the left side has a return air end.
[0009] Preferably, connecting rods are symmetrically installed inside the unit casing, and the connecting rods are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the evaporator.
[0010] The air handling unit provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. The evaporator is responsible for heating or cooling the air. The high static pressure air supply fan is responsible for evenly delivering the heated or cooled air into the room. The return air filter ensures that the air entering the unit is clean and further purifies the air to provide clean air for the evaporator. The constant air volume exhaust fan and sensible heat exchanger on the left side of the unit shell perform heat exchange treatment on the exhaust air, recovering some heat or cold energy and improving energy utilization efficiency. The fresh air filter and fresh air fan are responsible for introducing fresh air and performing the same heat exchange treatment on it to ensure indoor air quality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model is an air handling unit, including a unit housing 9. An evaporator 6 is installed inside the unit housing 9. The evaporator 6 divides the unit housing 9 into left and right parts. A high static pressure air supply fan 7 is installed in the left part of the unit housing 9, and a return air filter 4 is installed in the left end of the unit housing 9. The return air filter 4 filters the air to send the air into the evaporator 6 for heating and cooling, and finally the air is transported by the high static pressure air supply fan 7.
[0019] Evaporator 6 is responsible for heating or cooling the air, high static pressure air supply fan 7 is responsible for evenly delivering the heated or cooled air into the room, return air filter 4 ensures that the air entering the unit is clean and further purifies the air to provide clean air for evaporator 6; constant air volume exhaust fan 2 and sensible heat exchanger 3 on the left side of the unit casing 9 perform heat exchange treatment on the exhaust air, recover some heat or cold, and improve energy utilization efficiency; fresh air filter 1 and fresh air fan 5 are responsible for introducing fresh air and performing the same heat exchange treatment on it to ensure indoor air quality.
[0020] The left side of the unit casing 9 is equipped with a constant air volume exhaust fan 2 and a sensible heat exchanger 3; air enters the filter screen 4 from the return air end 12; the exhaust fan 2 takes the air treated by the filter screen 4 and then passes it through the sensible heat exchanger 3 to exchange the sensible heat in the return air. The heat-treated air is then discharged to the outside from the air supply end 13 via the constant air volume exhaust fan 2.
[0021] The left side of the unit casing 9 is equipped with a fresh air filter 1 and a fresh air fan 5. The fresh air fan 5 takes the air that has been treated by the fresh air filter 1 and then passes it through the sensible heat exchanger 3. The air enters from the fresh air end 10 and exchanges the sensible heat in the fresh air. The heat-treated air is then sent to the room by the fresh air fan 5.
