Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to fan coil units with various installation methods. Background Technology
[0002] A fan coil unit, or simply fan coil, is a terminal device in an air conditioning system, consisting of a fan, motor, and coil (air heat exchanger). A cooling or heating medium flows through the coil, exchanging heat with the outside air to cool, dehumidify, or heat the air, thus regulating indoor air parameters. It is a commonly used terminal device for cooling and heating. A condensate pan is located at the bottom of the fan coil unit to collect condensate generated during operation. However, due to the limited space of the condensate pan, current fan coil units have a single installation method (ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted), which presents certain limitations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide fan coil units with multiple installation methods to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fan coil unit with multiple installation methods, including a housing and a fan. The two opposite ends of the housing are connected to form an air inlet and an air outlet. A mounting plate is provided on one side of the housing. Multiple mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting plate. An inclined surface cooler is installed in the inner cavity of the housing. A partition is installed in the inner cavity of the housing, located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The fan is installed on the side of the partition near the air inlet. The fan blows air through the surface cooler and discharges it from the air outlet. A condensate pan is provided on the side of the housing opposite to the mounting plate. The bottom of the condensate pan is sloped to allow the generated condensate to collect and drain. A water collection chamber is formed on the side of the condensate pan near the fan.
[0005] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed on the side of the housing, and the solenoid valve controls the flow rate of the refrigerant in the surface cooler.
[0006] Preferably, slots are symmetrically arranged at the air inlet, and a matching filter screen is inserted into the slot. A rotatable knob is installed on the side of the air inlet to prevent the filter screen from exiting the slot.
[0007] Preferably, a water pump 10 is installed on the side of the housing 1, and the water pump 10 is used to pump out condensate from the water collection chamber.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the surface cooler adopts an installation method with a certain angle to the heat exchange airflow. Whether it is ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted, the condensate can flow into the condensate pan for collection. The bottom of the condensate pan is designed with an inclination to facilitate smooth drainage. This fan coil unit has two installation methods, and the installation method can be flexibly selected according to the site conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0014] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fan coil unit with multiple installation methods, including a housing 1 and a fan 5. The two opposite ends of the housing 1 are connected to form an air inlet and an air outlet. A mounting plate 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and multiple mounting holes 3 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. An inclined surface cooler 8 is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1. A partition 10 is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1, located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The fan 5 is installed on the side of the partition 10 near the air inlet. The fan 5 blows air through the surface cooler 8 and discharges it from the air outlet. A solenoid valve 9 is installed on the side of the housing 1, which controls the flow rate of the refrigerant in the surface cooler 8. A water pump 10 is installed on the side of the housing 1, which is used to pump condensate out of the water collection chamber.
[0015] A condensate tray 4 is provided on the side of the housing 1 opposite to the mounting plate 2. The bottom of the condensate tray 4 is sloped to allow the condensate to collect and drain. A water collection chamber is formed on the side of the condensate tray 4 near the fan 5. When wall-mounted, the fan 5 blows air vertically upward through the surface cooler 8, and the resulting condensate flows obliquely downward into the water collection chamber. Slots are symmetrically arranged at the air inlet, and matching filters 6 are inserted into the slots. A rotatable knob 7 is installed on the side of the air inlet to prevent the filters 6 from being ejected from the slots. The filters 6 are used to filter out impurities in the incoming air.
