Description

1 TARIFF A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE CONTAINING A HEAT PUMP This invention is a heating system in which gas is released in a controlled manner in the event of a gas leak. It relates to a household appliance that includes a pump. 5 In household appliances using heat pumps, the section containing the compressor is different from the other The sections are separated by a partition wall. However, this partition wall connects both sections. Because it separates them in a leak-proof manner, it prevents gas from accumulating in case of a gas leak. It is not possible to vent the gas. This creates serious safety problems. 10 It is emerging. In the event of a gas leak in the section where the compressor is located, the gas is heavier than air. Because of this, it accumulates at the bottom of the compartment where the compressor is located. This situation, This creates highly dangerous safety risks such as explosions. 15 European Patent No. EP3943822, which is included in the prior art. In his application, he stated that the location on the partition wall separating the compressor compartment from the other compartment The drainage holes are automatically opened and closed via a cover. The purpose of this invention is to enable the controlled release of gas in the event of a gas leak. It is the implementation of a household appliance that includes a heat pump. The initial requirement and the steps taken to achieve the purpose of this invention, and dependent on that requirement... The household appliance containing a heat pump, as described in the requirements, is a 25-inch unit with a base. enclosure, a first compartment and a second compartment within the enclosure, first compartment a partition wall, extending perpendicular to the base, separates the second compartment from the enclosure. at least one opening located between the base and the partition wall, the base aligned with the opening a cone-shaped structure placed on top, partially surrounding the opening, with its apex truncated. drainage wall, partition wall and the edge of the drainage wall extending into the first compartment 30 an entrance located between them and a partition wall and a drainage wall extending into the second compartment. It includes an exit located between its edges. 2 This invention prevents refrigerant gas from leaking into the first compartment for any reason, or If it escapes, the refrigerant gas, which is heavier than air, is removed from the first compartment. transfer and evacuation to the second compartment via the evacuation wall is provided. 5 In the application of the invention, the compressor is located in the first compartment. Another application of the invention incorporates a fan in the second compartment. In the application of the invention, the drainage wall, together with the opening, forms the lower edge of the partition wall. It partially surrounds it. In the application of this invention, if the refrigerant gas escapes for any reason, The gas accumulating in the first compartment, where the compressor is located, settles downwards. 15 This invention enables the safe evacuation of this gas. In another application of the invention, the household appliance is mounted on the drain wall, with one end connected to the first a partition located between the partition wall and the floor, with one end opening into the second partition and the other end opening into the second partition. It includes at least one drainage channel extending across the opening. 20 In another application of the invention, the household appliance has a second compartment located in the base of the second section. It includes at least one vent that allows the compartment to open to the outside environment. In the application of the invention, the drain channel is located at the bottom of the first compartment, defrost or outside 25 The water that accumulates due to these factors flows into the drain holes located in the base of the second compartment. It enables the device to reach and be discharged to the external environment. Furthermore, the invention... In this application, the lower edge of the partition wall rests against the wall of the drainage channel. The wall does not come into contact with the base of the housing. This allows the compressor to... Vibration and noise generated during operation are not transferred to the housing for 30 days. It is being absorbed. 3 Another application of the invention is the distance between the partition wall and the floor, i.e. The height of the opening facilitates the transfer of leaked gas from the first compartment to the second compartment. while making it possible to minimize noise coming from the first compartment. It is a distance that will provide [a certain level of distance]. In the event of a possible gas leak in the first compartment during the application of the invention, Leaked gas accumulating at the bottom of the first compartment passes through the inlet and is discharged through the partition wall. reaching between the edge of the wall extending into the first compartment and the opening It reaches [the source]. The leaked gas, passing through the opening, reaches the exit and separates from the exit. It reaches the second compartment. The leaked gas that passes into the second compartment reaches the 10 in the second compartment. With the help of the fan, the liquid is expelled from the enclosure. In the application of the invention, the household appliance's height is determined by the manufacturer and The maximum level at which the water accumulating at the bottom of the reservoir can rise is determined. It includes an overflow wall. In the application of the invention, the length of the drainage wall is 15 It is higher than the overflow wall. This prevents the drainage holes from opening for any reason. If it becomes clogged, the water is discharged from the overflow wall to outside the containment area. While ensuring this, the water is drained, preventing it from blocking the opening by overflowing the drainage wall. Even in an undesirable situation such as the holes being blocked, in the event of a possible gas leak, This prevents accumulated water from overflowing the drain wall and clogging the opening, while also preventing gas leakage. evacuation without any obstacles, through the evacuation wall and opening This allows for evacuation by passing the water from the first compartment to the second compartment. If the refrigerant gas, which is heavier than air, leaks for any reason, The gas that accumulates by settling downwards in the first compartment where the compressor is located, this 25 Thanks to this invention, safe evacuation is ensured. Furthermore, If the drainage holes at the bottom become clogged, the gas that settles and accumulates at the bottom... Safe evacuation is also ensured. With this invention, in the event of a gas leak in the first compartment where the compressor is located, 30 The refrigerant gas, which is heavier than air, passes through the inlet and exits through the discharge wall. reaching the exit from the opening and then reaching the second compartment and in the second compartment 4 Thanks to the fan also being activated, the leaking gas is sucked in and removed from the outside environment. A mixture is created with a large volume of clean air. This leaked gas and air The refrigerant gas content in the mixture is low enough not to create a safety hazard. It is at a certain concentration. Thus, the concentration has been safely reduced. The refrigerant gas-air mixture is vented to the outside environment. This prevents gas leakage. In this situation, the gas is released in a controlled manner.
