AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing air conditioner recycling devices can only use condensate water for indoor humidification or outdoor unit heat dissipation, which is a single function and does not make full use of condensate water.

Method used

Design a condensate recovery device, including a water storage tank, a humidification component, and a heat dissipation component. The device achieves indoor humidification and local heat dissipation through an evaporation water tank and a heat dissipation water tank, respectively. It uses ultraviolet lamps for sterilization, a water pump to control the delivery of condensate, and sensors to monitor water level and humidity for optimized utilization.

Benefits of technology

This technology enables air conditioners to simultaneously humidify the indoor unit and dissipate heat from the outdoor unit during the cooling process, resulting in richer functionality, more efficient use of condensate, and improved overall efficiency.

Abstract

The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and discloses a condensate water recovery device for an air conditioner, and in the operation process of the air conditioner, a water storage tank can collect condensate water generated by an indoor unit and convey the condensate water to an evaporation water tank and a heat dissipation water tank. In this way, condensate water in the evaporation water tank can be evaporated through the humidification device and humidify the indoor space through the air outlet; the spray header can atomize the condensed water in the heat dissipation water tank and then spray the atomized condensed water out so as to carry out local heat dissipation on the air conditioner. By means of the arrangement, indoor humidification and outdoor unit heat dissipation can be achieved at the same time only by arranging one set of condensate water recovery device corresponding to the air conditioner, the functions are richer, and condensate water is more fully utilized. Meanwhile, the utility model further discloses the air conditioner.
