Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condensate recovery technology, specifically to an air conditioner condensate collection and treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, water consumption in buildings is increasing daily, and the effective utilization of reclaimed water resources in buildings has become an important issue in the field of building engineering. Air conditioning systems produce condensate during cooling. Air conditioning condensate usually does not contain harmful substances and is a relatively clean water resource with high recycling value.

[0003] However, traditional air conditioning condensate is often discharged directly, failing to be effectively utilized and resulting in a waste of water resources. Existing air conditioning condensate collection and treatment devices also have many problems; they can only collect and discharge condensate, lacking deep treatment and failing to guarantee water quality, thus limiting their further application. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, an air conditioning condensate collection and treatment device is provided, which can efficiently collect and filter air conditioning condensate, ensure stable condensate water quality, and improve the utilization efficiency and application scope of urban water resources.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] An air conditioner condensate collection and treatment device includes a condensate pipe connected to an air conditioner, a collection tank connected to the condensate pipe, a clean water tank connected to the collection tank, a regenerated water pipe for discharging condensate from the clean water tank, a regenerated water pump mounted on the regenerated water pipe, and a control system. The collection tank contains a filter, and is connected to the clean water tank via an inlet pipe. An inlet pump is mounted on the inlet pipe to deliver the filtered condensate to the clean water tank. The control system includes a collection tank monitoring unit and a clean water tank monitoring unit for monitoring water quality and level, and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the collection tank monitoring unit, the clean water tank monitoring unit, the inlet pump, and the regenerated water pump.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the filter adopts a hollow fiber membrane module, and the inlet end of the water inlet pipe is inserted into the hollow fiber membrane module.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the water collection tank monitoring unit includes a first water quality monitoring meter and a first liquid level meter installed inside the water collection tank.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the clear water tank monitoring unit includes a second water quality monitor and a second liquid level gauge installed inside the clear water tank.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the condensate pipe is provided with an overflow port on the pipe outside the water collection tank.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the bottom of the water collection tank is provided with a first drain pipe, and the first drain pipe is provided with a drain pump, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, a second drain pipe is connected to the reclaimed water pipe.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the reclaimed water pipe is equipped with a first valve, and the second drain pipe is equipped with a second valve.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a filter to deeply filter condensate, which can effectively remove dissolved impurities in the water. The controller monitors the water quality and water level in the collection tank and the clean water tank in real time to ensure that the condensate water quality meets the standards for reclaimed water, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and application range of condensate water.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a first level gauge and a second level gauge to monitor the water levels in the collection tank and the clean water tank in real time, preventing low water levels and overflow. Furthermore, the overflow port on the condensate pipe further prevents malfunctions caused by the collection tank being full.

[0017] 3. This utility model has a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe installed in the water collection tank and the clean water tank, respectively. Together with the drain pump and the regenerated water pump, the water collection tank and the clean water tank can be emptied separately, which facilitates quick maintenance of the water tank when the water quality does not meet the standards and ensures the safe operation of the device.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an air conditioner condensate collection and treatment device.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] The system includes a condensate drain pipe 11 connected to an air conditioner, a water collection tank 1 connected to the condensate drain pipe 11, a clean water tank 2 connected to the water collection tank 1, a reclaimed water pipe 21 for draining condensate from the clean water tank 2, a reclaimed water pump 22 mounted on the reclaimed water pipe 21, and a control system. The water collection tank 1 is equipped with a filter 12. The water collection tank 1 is connected to the clean water tank 2 via an inlet pipe 13, and an inlet pump 14 is mounted on the inlet pipe 13 to transport the filtered condensate to the clean water tank 2. The control system includes a monitoring unit for the water collection tank 1 and a monitoring unit for the clean water tank 2 for monitoring water quality and level, and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the monitoring units for the water collection tank 1 and the clean water tank 2, the inlet pump 14, and the reclaimed water pump 22. This invention uses the filter 12 to deeply filter the condensate, effectively removing dissolved impurities from the water. The controller monitors the water quality and level in the water collection tank 1 and the clean water tank 2 in real time, ensuring that the condensate meets the reclaimed water standards, thus improving the utilization efficiency and application range of the condensate.

[0025] In this embodiment, the filter 12 uses a hollow fiber membrane module, and ultrafiltration membranes or reverse osmosis membranes with different filtration effects can be selected according to water quality requirements. The inlet end of the inlet pipe 13 is inserted into the hollow fiber membrane module. After the inlet pump 14 is started, a negative pressure is formed inside the membrane module. Through the pressure difference between the inside and outside, the condensate enters the interior through the membrane fiber surface after filtration, and then enters the clean water tank 2 for storage through the inlet pipe 13. Finally, it is pumped to the greywater system of the building community through the reclaimed water pump 22 and reclaimed water pipe 21 for purposes such as landscaping and flushing.

[0026] In this embodiment, the monitoring unit of the water collection tank 1 includes a first water quality monitor 15 and a first level gauge 16 installed inside the water collection tank 1. The monitoring unit of the clear water tank 2 includes a second water quality monitor 23 and a second level gauge 24 installed inside the clear water tank 2. The controller is electrically connected to the first water quality monitor 15, the second water quality monitor 23, the first level gauge 16, and the second level gauge 24. The first water quality monitor 15 and the second water quality monitor 23 are mainly used to monitor the total dissolved solids index and provide real-time feedback on the water quality to the controller. The first level gauge 16 and the second level gauge 24 are mainly used to monitor the water level in real time to prevent low water levels or overflow.

[0027] In this embodiment, the inlet of the condensate pipe 11 is connected to multiple air conditioners for efficient collection of air conditioner condensate. The condensate pipe 11 has an overflow port on the pipe outside the water collection tank 1. When the water collection tank 1 is full, excess condensate is discharged through the overflow port, ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0028] The specific working process of the air conditioner condensate collection and treatment device is as follows:

[0029] The condensate produced during air conditioning cooling enters the water collection tank 1 through the condensate pipe 11. After being filtered by the hollow membrane module, it is transported to the clean water tank 2 by the water inlet pump 14 and the clean water pipe for storage. The filtered condensate in the clean water tank 2 is then transported to the greywater system of the building community through the reclaimed water pump 22 and the reclaimed water pipe 21 for purposes such as landscaping and rinsing.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The principle and technical solution of Embodiment 2 are basically the same as those of Embodiment 1, except that: for ease of inspection and maintenance, a first drain pipe 17 for emptying the water collection tank 1 is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 1, and a drain pump 18 is provided on the first drain pipe 17, which is electrically connected to the controller. A second drain pipe 25 for emptying the clean water tank 2 is connected to the regenerated water pipe 21. The connection between the second drain pipe 25 and the regenerated water pipe 21 is located outside the clean water tank 2. A first valve 26 is provided on the regenerated water pipe 21, and a second valve 27 is provided on the second drain pipe 25. The end of the regenerated water pipe 21 is connected to water facilities and equipment, which cannot achieve large-scale drainage. At this time, the first valve 26 is closed and the second valve 27 is opened, and the condensate in the clean water tank 2 is drained through the second drain pipe 25, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the device.

[0032] The working principle of the controller for monitoring the water quality in water collection tank 1 and clear water tank 2 is as follows:

[0033] When the reading on the first water quality monitor 15 in the water collection tank 1 exceeds the standard, shut off the inlet pump 14 and the reclaimed water pump 22, start the drain pump 18, and drain all the condensate in the water collection tank 1 through the first drain pipe 17. Collect the condensate again, then start the inlet pump 14. When the clear water tank 2 reaches the high water level, the second level gauge 24 in the clear water tank 2 will provide feedback, and the inlet pump 14 will stop running. When the first water quality monitor 15 meets the standard, but the second water quality monitor 23 does not, shut off the inlet pump 14, start the reclaimed water pump 22, and drain the condensate in the clear water tank 2 through the second drain pipe 25. Then clean the clear water tank 2, and then start the inlet pump 14 to deliver the condensate to the clear water tank 2. If the reading on the second water quality monitor 23 still does not meet the standard, it indicates that the filtration capacity of the filter 12 has weakened, and it is recommended to replace the filter 12.

[0034] The embodiments described above are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The detailed description of the embodiments of this application is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
