Construction method and design method of air-conditioning system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air conditioning systems require a dedicated chamber for the air conditioner, necessitate close separation of air conditioner, exhaust, and intake ports to prevent short circuits, and are cumbersome to construct due to size constraints.
Innovation Solution
The system eliminates the need for a dedicated air conditioner chamber by placing the air conditioner and blowers in a return compartment, such as a staircase or corridor, with strategically positioned intake and exhaust sections to separate and diffuse air currents, allowing for optimal air conditioning without short circuits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated air conditioner chamber is provided, then the air conditioner can be placed with proper separation from ports, but the construction becomes cumbersome and space-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the air conditioner from its traditional dedicated chamber location and relocates it to the return air duct space. This removes the need for constructing a separate air conditioner chamber while maintaining proper separation from air supply and exhaust ports through the distributed blower configuration throughout the return duct system.
Solution Approach 2:
The return air duct space serves multiple functions: it acts as both the air return pathway and the installation location for the air conditioner. The return duct system simultaneously provides air circulation and houses the conditioning equipment, eliminating the need for dedicated chamber construction.
2Reliability
If air conditioner, exhaust port and air supply port are separated far apart, then short circuit is prevented, but the chamber size requirement increases construction difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the air handling function by distributing multiple blowers throughout the return air duct system rather than using a single centralized unit. Each blower serves a specific zone, creating natural air current separation and preventing short circuits between supply and exhaust ports while avoiding the need for large chamber spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a two-dimensional planar separation of components to a three-dimensional distributed configuration within the return duct volume. By placing blowers at different locations along the duct length and utilizing vertical space, proper air current separation is achieved without requiring increased chamber footprint or construction complexity.
3Ease of operation
If a mixing section is provided in the air conditioner chamber, then intake air and spout air can be mixed, but the chamber construction becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the air mixing function with the return air duct system itself. The return duct acts as both the air return pathway and the mixing chamber, eliminating the need for a separate mixing section construction. Air from various rooms naturally mixes within the duct volume before being redistributed by the blowers.
