This patented unit integrates a medium-efficiency filter into the air handling unit and is equipped with a centrifugal fan featuring a digital brushless DC external rotor motor. This allows for both heating and cooling of air in large spaces like factories, while maintaining air cleanliness, and is also more intelligent, energy-efficient, and highly effective.

[0032] A digital brushless DC air handling unit with medium-efficiency, low-resistance filtration includes a housing 6, a controller, a detection device, and an alarm device. The housing 6 is divided into two chambers by a partition 4, namely the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber contains a filter and a heat exchanger. The second chamber contains a fan 5, which includes a DC motor. An air inlet is opened on the wall of the housing 6 in the first chamber, and an air outlet is opened on the wall of the housing 6 in the second chamber. A through hole is opened on the partition 4. The air inlet of the fan 5 is connected to the through hole. The filter and the heat exchanger are sequentially arranged between the air inlet on the wall of the housing 6 and the partition 4. The filter includes a low-resistance medium-efficiency filter 2 and a high-efficiency single-piece filter. The filtration accuracy of the medium-efficiency filter 2 is between 1-10μm. The initial resistance of the medium-efficiency filter 2 is about 30-60Pa, and the final resistance is about 70-120Pa. The high-efficiency single-piece filter has a filtration accuracy between 0.1-1μm; the initial resistance of the high-efficiency single-piece filter is about 50-90Pa, and the final resistance is about 100-180Pa. Fan 5 is a digital brushless DC external rotor centrifugal fan. This centrifugal fan with a digital brushless DC external rotor motor uses a maintenance-free brushless DC motor with a built-in intelligent control module, and comes with an RS485 output interface, a 0-10V sensor output interface, a 4-20mA speed control switch output interface, an alarm device output interface, and a master-slave signal output interface.

[0033] The medium-efficiency filter 2 includes a bag filter, and a bracket for mounting the bag filter is also provided in the first chamber. The frame of the bracket is sealed and fixed to the inner wall of the first chamber, and multiple ports for fixing the opening end of the bag filter are arranged side by side on the bracket. The bracket is constructed of a galvanized mounting frame and a galvanized support plate. The support plate is provided with ports for mounting the filter bag, such as bayonets, flanges, etc., to engage the opening end of the bag filter with the bayonet or to the flange threaded connection.

[0034] The single-piece filter is made of PP material with a galvanized frame.

[0035] The controller is equipped with an operation panel with a numeric keypad. The operator sets the input current of the DC motor through the numeric keypad, and the controller outputs a signal to control the input current of the DC motor.

[0036] The detection device includes a first temperature sensor for detecting the motor temperature, a second temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the second chamber, and a current sensor for detecting the motor current; the alarm device includes an alarm; the detection signal input controller of the detection device is equipped with multiple comparators, each comparator having two input terminals, one for inputting the detection signal and the other for inputting the corresponding set threshold; when the detection signal is greater than or less than the corresponding set threshold, the comparator outputs a signal to the alarm, causing the alarm to issue an alarm signal.

[0037] The housing 6 has multiple access doors located on the front and rear sides. Each access door has double-sided handles and is seamlessly integrated with the housing 6 using single-sided screws. Removing the access doors allows for easy access to the fan 5 and filter.

[0038] The heat exchanger includes a cooling coil 3; a heat transfer medium, refrigerant, or cooling medium flows through the inner cavity of the cooling coil 3. A water collection tray 9 is located below the cooling coil 3 to collect condensate generated on its surface. The cooling coil 3 is a copper tube with aluminum foil; different circuit structures and the number of fins are selected according to the required cooling and heating capacity. The inlet and outlet water pipes 3-1 of the cooling coil can be installed on the rear panel. When cold or hot water is supplied, the cooling coil 3 can cool and dehumidify or heat the air. In summer, the condensate from cooling and dehumidification falls directly into the galvanized water collection tray 9 and flows out of the unit through the drain outlet on the side of the tray 9.

[0039] The enclosure 6 is composed of a frame and sealed panels. The panels are made of sandwich color steel sheets, consisting of inner and outer layers of color steel sheets and an intermediate insulation layer. The panels are made of galvanized steel sheets and white color steel sheets as the outer surface, and are integrally foamed with polyurethane filling material, which has the advantages of high strength, no deformation, good anti-cold bridging effect, and low air leakage rate. The bottom of the enclosure 6 is provided with insertion holes or slots for forklifts. A enclosure base 8 can be installed, and the enclosure can be mounted on the enclosure base 8.

[0040] An air inlet valve 1 for manually adjusting the air volume is provided at the air inlet on the wall of the enclosure, and an air outlet valve 7 for manually adjusting the air volume is provided at the air outlet on the wall of the enclosure.

[0041] When the unit is operating, the digital brushless DC external rotor centrifugal fan is started. In summer, the coil water valve is activated to introduce chilled water. The return air passes through the inlet valve 1, then through the medium-efficiency filter 2 to remove smaller dust particles. After being cooled and dehumidified by the coil, the air reaches the required room temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. Finally, the air is delivered by the centrifugal fan. In winter, the coil serves to raise the temperature and lower the relative humidity. The digital brushless DC external rotor centrifugal fan adjusts the airflow through the controller to meet the required room air exchange rate. The treated air passes through the bag filter 2 and the coil, and is then delivered by the fan to the air supply valve 7. The casing provides sealing and insulation for the unit.

[0042] The medium-efficiency filter 2 uses a bag filter, which has high filtration efficiency and low resistance, meeting the air cleanliness and energy-saving requirements of factories with certain purification needs. It is also equipped with a digital brushless DC external rotor centrifugal fan to meet the air supply needs of large spaces. This unit is widely used in factories with purification requirements, greatly helping to save on initial investment and reduce subsequent maintenance costs and energy consumption.
