Air conditioning device with humidification and its use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air-conditioning devices for storage, ripening, and rearing rooms face challenges in maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels, which can lead to drying out of stored goods and inefficient air conditioning due to limited air distribution and humidification capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The air-conditioning device incorporates a pivotable air nozzle and an air humidifying system that uses secondary air entrainment via a Venturi principle, along with a heat exchanger and droplet separator, to ensure uniform air conditioning and humidification, with the air humidification device capable of generating water vapor or mist to maintain desired humidity levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional air-conditioning devices are used in storage, ripening, and rearing rooms, then basic air circulation is provided, but optimal temperature and humidity levels cannot be maintained, leading to drying out of stored goods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines air conditioning and humidification functions into a single integrated device. The air-conditioning unit includes both a heat exchanger for temperature control and a humidification device with water supply for humidity control, allowing simultaneous maintenance of optimal temperature and humidity levels to prevent drying out of stored goods
Solution Approach 2:
The air-conditioning device is designed to perform multiple functions: cooling/heating via the heat exchanger and humidification via the integrated humidification device. This multi-functional design enables the single device to maintain both temperature and humidity parameters necessary for preserving stored goods in storage, ripening, and rearing rooms
2Productivity
If conventional air-conditioning devices are used, then air circulation is provided, but air distribution is limited and humidification capabilities are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a pivotable air nozzle that can change its orientation to optimize air distribution patterns. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the device to adapt air flow direction to different room configurations and requirements, improving air distribution efficiency without requiring a complex multi-unit system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates the humidification device directly into the air-conditioning unit, combining air circulation and humidification functions in one system. This integration improves overall productivity by ensuring that humidified air is distributed throughout the room along with cooled or heated air, eliminating the need for separate humidification equipment
