Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fresh air system for window air conditioners, and specifically to a novel fresh air system for window air conditioners, belonging to the technical field of fresh air systems. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly higher requirements for indoor air quality. Currently, residential indoor air conditioning often uses split-type air conditioners combined with fresh air systems. With the growing severity of global energy issues, energy conservation, emission reduction, and improved energy efficiency have become a common focus for all countries.
[0003] Heat recovery fresh air systems, as a novel ventilation technology, can effectively recover energy from exhaust air and apply it to fresh air, thereby reducing building energy consumption and improving indoor environmental quality. However, current traditional heat recovery cores have a square structure and a uniform flow channel design, which can easily lead to a uniform fluid velocity distribution, thickened thermal boundary layer, and reduced heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing heat recovery fresh air systems, such as the independent design and lack of linkage between the window air conditioner and the fresh air system, and the uniform flow channel design of the heat recovery core which reduces heat exchange efficiency. This utility model provides a new type of window air conditioner fresh air system that can achieve a unified design and deep linkage between the window air conditioner and the fresh air system, and a non-uniform flow channel design of the heat recovery core to improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel window air conditioner fresh air system, including a housing, a control unit, a supply fan, an exhaust fan, a rotary switch, an exhaust filter, a check valve, a fresh air valve, a fresh air filter, a linkage interface, a temperature sensor, and an air quality sensor;
[0006] It also includes an irregularly shaped heat recovery core, which is located in the lower middle part of the housing; the irregularly shaped heat recovery core is peach-shaped in the main viewing direction, with two flat sides, an included angle of 85-100° between the two sides, and the surfaces opposite the two sides are arc surfaces;
[0007] The irregularly shaped heat recovery core includes several heat exchange support layers A, several heat exchange membranes, several heat exchange support layers B, and three or more core connecting rods. The heat exchange support layers A, heat exchange membranes, and heat exchange support layers B are all peach-shaped structures, identical in size and shape, and are arranged vertically in a corresponding order. The installation sequence is heat exchange support layer A, heat exchange membrane, heat exchange support layer B, heat exchange membrane, and so on. Three or more core connecting rods are inserted around the irregularly shaped heat recovery core. The irregularly shaped heat recovery core allows heat from the exhaust air to be transferred to the fresh air, thereby heating the fresh air. The supply fan, irregularly shaped heat recovery core, fresh air filter, and fresh air valve form the fresh air channel, while the exhaust fan, irregularly shaped heat recovery core, exhaust filter, and check valve form the exhaust channel.
[0008] The thickness of the heat exchange support layer A and the heat exchange support layer B is 1.1-2.2 mm. The different thicknesses of the heat exchange support layer A and the heat exchange support layer B create a thickness gradient in the stacked layers, which can fully facilitate heat exchange.
[0009] The heat exchange support layer A, heat exchange membrane, and heat exchange support layer B are all peach-shaped structures, identical in size and shape, and are arranged correspondingly on the top and bottom, respectively. The internal flow channels of heat exchange support layer A and heat exchange support layer B are arc-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the internal flow channels of heat exchange support layer A and heat exchange support layer B is a non-uniform flow channel. Heat exchange support layer A includes several internal flow channels arranged side by side from the lower right side to the upper left side of heat exchange support layer A, with the curvature of the arc gradually decreasing from the lower right side to the upper left side, and the width of the internal flow channels gradually decreasing from the lower right side to the lower left side. Heat exchange support layer B includes several internal flow channels arranged side by side from the lower left side to the upper right side of heat exchange support layer B, with the curvature of the arc gradually decreasing from the lower left side to the upper right side, and the width of the internal flow channels gradually decreasing from the lower left side to the upper right side. By changing the cross-sectional shape of the internal flow channels, heat exchange support layers A and B guide the velocity differences of the fluid in different regions, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect.
[0010] A non-uniform flow channel heat exchange support layer A, a number of heat exchange films and a number of non-uniform flow channel heat exchange support layers B constitute a non-uniform flow channel composite layered heat recovery core structure.
[0011] The heat exchange membrane is a polymer nano-coated heat exchange membrane or a graphene nano-coated heat exchange membrane; at the same time, by combining the polymer nano-coated heat exchange membrane or the graphene nano-coated heat exchange membrane with multi-layer stacked heat transfer channels, low contact thermal resistance heat transfer is achieved, thereby improving heat recovery efficiency.
[0012] It adopts a modular embedded structure design for the heat recovery fresh air system, utilizing the gap between the indoor and outdoor units and the air outlet panel of the window air conditioner to achieve shared space installation between the fresh air system and the air conditioner; the control unit, supply fan, exhaust fan, rotary switch, exhaust filter, check valve, irregularly shaped heat recovery core, fresh air filter, fresh air valve, and linkage interface are integrated into the cabinet and installed in the gap between the indoor and outdoor units and the air outlet panel of the window air conditioner, sharing the air duct with the air conditioner, without the need for additional openings and installation;
[0013] The control unit is located in the upper middle part of the housing, above the irregularly shaped heat recovery core; the blower is located in the upper right of the housing; the exhaust fan is located in the upper left of the housing; the rotary switch is located in the upper right of the housing; the exhaust filter is located in the lower right of the housing; the check valve is located inside the exhaust filter; the fresh air valve is located in the lower left of the housing; the fresh air filter is located inside the fresh air valve; and the linkage interface is located in the left side of the housing, below the rotary switch.
[0014] The temperature sensor and air quality sensor are installed on both sides of the blower. The temperature sensor and air quality sensor are electrically connected to the control unit respectively. The system is intelligently controlled according to the changes in indoor and outdoor temperature and air quality data.
[0015] The heat recovery fresh air system shares an air duct with the air conditioner. Simultaneously, the intelligent control unit of the fresh air system shares a power supply with the air conditioner, achieving deep integration with the air conditioning system. It can also be independently controlled by the control unit to achieve fresh air oxygenation and energy recovery in the room. The control unit shares a power supply with the air conditioner, and its communication protocol uses TTL serial communication to interface with the air conditioner control, achieving deep integration control. Furthermore, through the communication protocol, a communication line is led out from the linkage interface to interface with the air conditioner control, achieving deep integration control.
[0016] The supply and exhaust fans are vortex fans, driven by 24V DC, to deliver and regulate indoor and outdoor air. The rotary switch is a positional switch with five positions: on, off, high, medium, and low, allowing independent control of the fresh air system. The enclosure dimensions are 300*350*80 mm, made of ABS material, and meet the 5VA fire resistance standard. The heat exchange support layer A, heat exchange support layer B, and core connecting rod are made of ABS material and meet the 5VA fire resistance standard. The exhaust filter has a MERV 8 filtration rating, and the fresh air filter has a MERV 13 filtration rating.
[0017] In the irregularly shaped heat recovery core, heat exchange support layer A serves as the fresh air flow channel, and heat exchange support layer B serves as the exhaust air flow channel. Heat exchange support layers A and B are stacked alternately, and a heat exchange film, as a heat exchange layer, is located between heat exchange support layers A and B to isolate the two airflows and prevent cross-mixing. This guides the velocity differences of the fresh and exhaust airflows in different regions inside the core, enhancing the turbulence effect. Combined with the graphene nano-coated heat exchange film, and utilizing multi-layered stacked heat transfer channels with alternating fresh and exhaust air flow channels, low-contact thermal resistance heat transfer is achieved, thereby improving heat recovery efficiency.
[0018] The heat exchange support layer A has 11 non-uniform flow channels arranged sequentially from the lower right arc surface to the upper left plane, namely non-uniform flow channel A, non-uniform flow channel B, non-uniform flow channel C, non-uniform flow channel D, non-uniform flow channel E, non-uniform flow channel F, non-uniform flow channel G, non-uniform flow channel H, non-uniform flow channel I, non-uniform flow channel J, and non-uniform flow channel K. The curvature of the arc surface gradually decreases from non-uniform flow channel A to non-uniform flow channel K, and the width spacing of the flow channels gradually decreases from non-uniform flow channel A to K.
[0019] The heat exchange support layer B has 11 non-uniform flow channels arranged sequentially from the lower left arc surface to the upper right plane, namely non-uniform flow channel a, non-uniform flow channel b, non-uniform flow channel c, non-uniform flow channel d, non-uniform flow channel e, non-uniform flow channel f, non-uniform flow channel g, non-uniform flow channel h, non-uniform flow channel i, non-uniform flow channel j, and non-uniform flow channel k. The curvature of the arc surface gradually decreases from non-uniform flow channel a to non-uniform flow channel k, and the spacing between the flow channels gradually decreases from non-uniform flow channel a to non-uniform flow channel k. The heat exchange support layer A and the heat exchange support layer B guide the velocity difference of the fluid in different regions by changing the cross-sectional shape of the flow channels inside the core, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect.
[0020] The non-uniform flow channels on heat exchange support layer A correspond to the non-uniform flow channels on heat exchange support layer B in an upper and lower cross shape, with the same structure and flow channel width.
[0021] The thicknesses of the heat exchange support layer A and the heat exchange support layer B are 1.3 mm and 2.0 mm, respectively.
[0022] The thicknesses of the heat exchange support layer A and the heat exchange support layer B are 1.3 mm and 1.8 mm, respectively.
[0023] The thicknesses of heat exchange support layer A and heat exchange support layer B are 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm, respectively. Of course, depending on actual needs, the thicknesses of heat exchange support layer A and heat exchange support layer B can also be designed with other proportions between 1.1 and 2.2 mm.
[0024] The heat exchange membrane is a polymer nano-coated heat exchange membrane. The polymer nano-coated heat exchange membrane uses polymer materials, such as polyimide and polyurethane, as the matrix and is prepared by nanotechnology, such as adding nanoparticles or forming nanostructures, to enhance heat transfer efficiency. It is lightweight, flexible, and has a low cost.
[0025] The heat exchange membrane is a graphene nano-coated heat exchange membrane; the graphene nano-coated heat exchange membrane is a "high-performance version" of the polymer nano-coating. Both are used for heat transfer, but graphene has better performance and stronger heat transfer efficiency.
[0026] Working process: The check valve and fresh air valve are closed when the unit is stopped to prevent cold outdoor air from flowing back into the room and affecting the indoor air conditioning effect. When the system is running, the fresh air flow passes through the fresh air valve, is filtered by the fresh air filter, and has its energy recovered by the irregularly shaped heat recovery core. After being pressurized by the blower, it is sent into the room to purify the indoor air and increase oxygen levels. The exhaust air flow passes through the exhaust filter, the check valve, and has its energy recovered by the irregularly shaped heat recovery core before being discharged outdoors by the exhaust fan.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0028] (1) This utility model provides a novel fresh air system for a window-type air conditioner. By changing the shape of the heat recovery core, i.e., making the cross-section of the internal flow channel of the heat recovery core an arc shape of different thicknesses, the flow velocity difference of the fluid in different areas is guided, enhancing the turbulence effect. At the same time, combined with a polymer nano-coated heat exchange film or a graphene nano-coated heat exchange film, and utilizing multi-layer stacked heat transfer channels, a heat recovery core with low contact thermal resistance is achieved, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency. In addition, this utility model also has the advantages of simple structure, easy implementation, and low cost.
[0029] (2) Simultaneously, this system, through its modular embedded structure design of the heat recovery fresh air system, utilizes the gap between the indoor and outdoor units and the air outlet panel of the window air conditioner to achieve shared space installation between the fresh air system and the air conditioner. The heat recovery fresh air system and the air conditioner share the same air duct. At the same time, the intelligent control unit of the fresh air system shares the same power supply as the air conditioner, achieving deep linkage with the air conditioning system and independent control operation. This enables fresh air oxygenation and energy recovery in the room, reducing building energy consumption and improving indoor air quality, while solving the problem of increased equipment costs and space occupation caused by independent fresh air systems.
