Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning condensate recovery technology, and in particular to a refrigeration air conditioning condensate recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] The condensate in an air conditioner's indoor unit is generated because heat exchange occurs during cooling. Specifically, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and delivered to the indoor unit, where it combines with heat from the environment on the heat exchanger. This encounter of hot and cold air produces condensate. After the refrigerant heats up in the indoor unit, it circulates to the outdoor unit, where it releases a significant amount of heat under the action of the compressor, while the outdoor unit's fan accelerates heat dissipation. Traditional air conditioners typically use separate indoor and outdoor units, with the outdoor unit installed outdoors. The condensate produced in the indoor unit during cooling is also drained outdoors through the indoor unit's drain pipe, resulting in the loss of condensate and its cooling capacity, causing resource waste. Therefore, we propose a condensate recovery device for air conditioners. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a refrigeration and air conditioning condensate recovery device. This invention solves the problem that refrigeration and air conditioning systems typically use a separate indoor and outdoor unit design, with the outdoor unit installed outdoors. Simultaneously, the condensate produced by the indoor unit during cooling is also discharged outdoors through the indoor unit's drain pipe, resulting in the loss of condensate and its cooling capacity, thus causing resource waste.

[0004] This utility model discloses a refrigeration and air conditioning condensate recovery device, comprising a housing, a filter tank on one side of the upper part of the housing, a sealing cover on the upper part of the filter tank, an inlet pipe on the middle of the upper part of the sealing cover, a support ring on the upper end of the filter tank, a connecting ring on the upper part of the support ring, a support mesh frame in the middle of the connecting ring, activated carbon on the support mesh frame, an air inlet on the side wall of the housing near the filter tank, a mounting bracket on the side of the housing near the air inlet, a plurality of equally spaced heat exchange fins in the mounting bracket, heat exchange tubes inserted into the heat exchange fins, one end of the heat exchange tubes being connected to the filter tank, and a fan on the side wall of the housing away from the air inlet.

[0005] In the above scheme, a protective frame is provided on the outside of the fan.

[0006] In the above scheme, the heat exchange tube is provided with a liquid outlet pipe at the end away from the filter tank, and the liquid outlet pipe extends to the outside of the shell.

[0007] In the above scheme, four positioning blocks are arranged in a matrix above the support ring, and positioning holes matching the positioning blocks are opened on the connecting ring.

[0008] In the above scheme, a filter screen is provided inside the air inlet.

[0009] In the above scheme, the heat exchange tubes are arranged in an S-shape.

[0010] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a refrigeration and air conditioning condensate recovery device. Activated carbon inside the supporting mesh frame purifies the condensate. The condensate filtered by the filter tank enters the heat exchange tube, where it exchanges heat with the heat exchange fins. A fan drives airflow, causing the airflow to enter the housing through the air inlet. As the airflow passes through the heat exchange fins, the fins exchange heat with the airflow, thereby cooling the airflow. The airflow is then discharged by the fan, allowing the recovery device to reuse the cooling capacity of the condensate. This recovery device has a simple structure, good heat exchange effect, and can recover and reuse the cooling capacity of the condensate, avoiding waste of cooling capacity and improving resource utilization.

A filter tank 3 is provided on one side of the upper part of the housing 1. A sealing cover 4 is provided on the upper part of the filter tank 3. The sealing cover 4 is threadedly connected to the filter tank 3. An inlet pipe 5 is provided in the middle of the upper part of the sealing cover 4. The condensate generated during the operation of the air conditioner can enter the interior of the filter tank 3 through the inlet pipe 5. A support ring 6 is provided at the upper end of the filter tank 3. A connecting ring 7 is provided above the support ring 6. A support mesh frame 8 is provided in the middle of the connecting ring 7. Activated carbon 9 is provided in the support mesh frame 8. The activated carbon 9 can purify the condensate. An air inlet 2 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1 near the filter tank 3. A mounting bracket 10 is provided near the air inlet 2. The mounting bracket 10 has multiple heat exchange fins 11 arranged at equal intervals. Heat exchange tubes 12 are inserted into the heat exchange fins 11. One end of the heat exchange tube 12 is connected to the filter tank 3. The condensate filtered by the filter tank 3 enters the heat exchange tube 12. The condensate exchanges heat with the heat exchange fins 11 through the heat exchange tube 12. A fan 13 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1 away from the air inlet 2. When the fan 13 is working, the fan 13 drives the airflow, so that the airflow enters the shell 1 through the air inlet 2. When the airflow passes through the heat exchange fins 11, the heat exchange fins 11 exchange heat with the airflow, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the airflow.

[0023] The fan 13 is equipped with a protective frame 14 on its outer side, which protects the fan 13 and prevents injury to personnel caused by the fan 13.

[0024] The heat exchange tube 12 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe 15 at the end away from the filter tank 3. The liquid outlet pipe 15 extends to the outside of the shell 1, and the coolant after heat exchange can be discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 15.

[0025] The support ring 6 has four positioning blocks 16 arranged in a matrix above it. The connecting ring 7 has positioning holes 17 that match the positioning blocks 16. The positioning blocks 16 are inserted into the positioning holes 17. Through the cooperation between the positioning blocks 16 and the positioning holes 17, the connecting ring 7 and the support frame 8 can be stably installed inside the filter tank 3.

[0026] The air inlet 2 is equipped with a filter screen 18, which can filter the airflow entering the housing 1 and prevent dust from entering the housing 1.

[0027] The heat exchange tubes 12 are arranged in an S-shape, which effectively increases the contact area between the heat exchange tubes 12 and the heat exchange fins 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, in this invention, the condensate generated during air conditioner operation enters the filter tank 3 through the inlet pipe 5. The activated carbon 9 inside the supporting mesh frame 8 purifies the condensate. The condensate filtered by the filter tank 3 enters the heat exchange tube 12, where it exchanges heat with the heat exchange fins 11. Simultaneously, when the fan 13 is operating, it drives the airflow, causing the airflow to enter the housing 1 through the air inlet 2. As the airflow passes through the heat exchange fins 11, the fins exchange heat with the airflow, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the airflow. The airflow is then discharged through the fan 13, allowing the recovery equipment to reuse the cooling capacity inside the condensate.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
