Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grain storage equipment, and in particular to a cooling and energy-saving device for reusing air conditioning condensate. Background Technology
[0002] In the grain storage industry, shallow circular silos have become important facilities for large-scale grain storage due to their advantages such as large storage capacity and compact structure. However, the high temperature and humidity environment in summer poses a severe challenge to grain storage in shallow circular silos, requiring dedicated air conditioning systems to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the silos and ensure grain quality.
[0003] Currently, the operation of air conditioning systems in shallow circular warehouses faces several challenges: Firstly, during the hot summer months, the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the warehouse, coupled with high relative humidity, leads to the generation of large amounts of condensate due to the temperature difference. Traditional methods of directly discharging this condensate not only waste water resources but also cause severe water accumulation in the work area, increasing safety hazards such as slipping and falling, and equipment dampness, thus affecting the grain storage environment and equipment lifespan. Secondly, under high temperature and humidity conditions, the air conditioning condenser is prone to dust accumulation and slow heat dissipation, resulting in a significant reduction in cooling efficiency. This necessitates consuming more electricity to maintain the cooling effect, leading to high energy consumption and increased warehouse operating costs.
[0004] In the existing technology, there is a lack of integrated devices for the effective recycling and utilization of condensate water in shallow circular air conditioners and for assisting in condenser cooling. It is difficult to solve the problems of condensate water discharge and improve air conditioner energy efficiency at the same time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative device to achieve synergistic optimization of condensate water recycling and air conditioner energy saving and efficiency improvement.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air conditioning condensate reuse cooling and energy-saving device, including a shallow circular air conditioner 1, a collection box 4, an atomizing spray unit and a gas circulation unit. The shallow circular air conditioner 1 is installed on the top of the shallow circular air conditioner. The shallow circular air conditioner 1 is provided with an exhaust pipe 2 and an exhaust pipe 3. The collection box 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shallow circular air conditioner 1 by bolts made of 304 stainless steel. The collection box 4 is used to collect the condensate generated by the operation of the shallow circular air conditioner 1. The atomizing spray unit includes an atomizing nozzle 5, a water pump 6, a water suction pipe 7 and a water delivery pipe 8. The atomizing nozzle 5 is connected to the water pump 6 through the water delivery pipe 8. The water suction end of the water pump 6 is fixedly connected to the water suction pipe 7. The gas circulation unit includes a vent 9 and a return vent 10. The vent 9 and the return vent 10 are located on the top of the shallow circular air conditioner and are both connected to the inside of the shallow circular air conditioner.
[0030] To further explain, the exhaust duct 2 is fixedly connected between the ventilation opening 9 and the air inlet of the shallow round warehouse air conditioner 1, and the exhaust duct 3 is fixedly connected between the return ventilation opening 10 and the air outlet of the shallow round warehouse air conditioner 1.
[0031] To further explain, the collection box 4 is a 316 stainless steel box-shaped structure with a flip-top and a hollow interior. Several holes 11 are opened on the upper side wall of the collection box 4 for draining excess condensate.
[0032] To further explain, a sealing cover 12 is fixedly connected inside the shallow circular air conditioner 1. This cover is used to isolate the condenser inside the shallow circular air conditioner 1. The sealing cover 12 is made of EPDM rubber foam board, which is a waterproof membrane with a water impermeability of 0.3 MPa for 30 minutes and no leakage. Its thermal conductivity is 0.022-0.027 W / (m・K). It can be fixed inside the shallow circular air conditioner 1 with bolts to achieve isolation and heat insulation of the condenser. The atomizing nozzle 5 is installed inside the sealing cover 12. Several heat exchange holes 13 are opened at the top of the sealing cover 12. An inclined guide plate is set at the bottom of the sealing cover 12, and a drain hole is opened at the bottom. The drain hole is connected to the drain pipe on the top of the shallow circular air conditioner through a corrosion-resistant hose to ensure that the liquid water formed after atomization is discharged in time to avoid soaking the condenser.
[0033] To further explain, the water suction pipe 7 penetrates the top wall of the collection box 4 and extends into the bottom of the collection box 4, 5-10mm away from the bottom of the box. A filter screen is installed to prevent impurities from entering the pipe and clogging the nozzle. The water delivery pipe 8 penetrates the sealing cover 12 and extends into the interior to connect with the atomizing nozzle 5. The water suction pipe 7 and the water delivery pipe 8 are made of 12mm PVC high-pressure hoses (pressure resistance ≥1.0MPa) to adapt to the condensate delivery environment.
[0034] To further explain, this device also includes a controller and a liquid level sensor. The controller is installed inside the shallow circular air conditioner 1, and the liquid level sensor is installed inside the collection box 4. The liquid level sensor and the water pump 6 are electrically connected to the controller. When the condensate level is lower than the preset value, such as 10cm, the liquid level sensor sends a signal to the controller to automatically shut down the water pump 6; when the liquid level is higher than the preset value, such as 20cm, the water pump 6 is automatically started.
[0035] It should be noted that the model of the shallow round silo air conditioner 1 is CZKI-40Q; the hole 11 at the upper end of the side wall of the collection box 4 is connected to the inclined drainage pipe, and the end of the drainage pipe extends into the drainage pipe on the top of the shallow round silo to avoid water accumulation on the top of the silo.
[0036] It should be noted that this utility model is an air conditioner condensate water recycling and cooling energy-saving device, which achieves energy saving and cooling through the coordinated operation of "condensate water recovery - atomization cooling - airflow circulation". The specific principle is as follows:
[0037] Condensate collection: When the shallow round air conditioner 1 is running, the condensate generated by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the compartment drips into the collection box 4 at the bottom due to gravity. The hole 11 at the upper end of the side wall of the collection box 4 can drain excess condensate.
[0038] Atomized spray cooling: Water pump 6 draws condensate from collection box 4 through water pipe 7 and delivers it to atomizing nozzle 5 installed in sealed cover 12 through water pipe 8. Atomizing nozzle 5 atomizes the condensate into fine droplets, which directly act on the condenser surface isolated by sealed cover 12. The low temperature characteristics of condensate absorb the heat generated by the condenser, achieving rapid cooling. The heat exchange hole 13 at the top of sealed cover 12 can discharge the humid and hot air after atomization and heat absorption, preventing heat from accumulating in the cover.
[0039] Gas circulation control: The exhaust duct 2 draws air from the shallow circular silo into the shallow circular silo air conditioner 1 through the vent 9 for temperature and humidity treatment. The treated air is then returned to the silo through the exhaust duct 3 and the return vent 10, forming a closed-loop air circulation within the silo. This ensures stable and efficient temperature and humidity control by the air conditioner. Compared with existing air conditioning condensate recycling and cooling energy-saving devices, this invention solves the problems of condensate waste, low condenser efficiency, and high energy consumption in traditional air conditioning systems. It achieves synergistic optimization of condensate recycling and air conditioning energy saving, and is suitable for temperature and humidity control in shallow circular silo grain storage.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
