Construction method and design method of air-conditioning system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air conditioning systems require a dedicated air conditioner chamber and struggle with short-circuiting of air currents due to close proximity of air conditioner, exhaust, and intake ports, making it difficult to construct and maintain an efficient air conditioning setup for multiple rooms.
Innovation Solution
The system eliminates the need for a dedicated air conditioner chamber by using a return compartment, such as a staircase or corridor, where air intake sections and exhaust sections are strategically placed to separate and diffuse air currents, with blowers and air conditioners positioned within this compartment to manage air flow and prevent short-circuiting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated air conditioner chamber is provided to house the air conditioner, then the air conditioner can be properly installed and operated, but the device complexity and construction difficulty increase due to the need for separate chamber construction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the air conditioner chamber function with an existing return compartment (staircase or corridor) in the building. The air conditioner is installed within this pre-existing space, eliminating the need to construct a separate dedicated chamber. This combining of functions reduces overall system complexity while maintaining proper air conditioner installation and operation.
2Device complexity
If the air conditioner, exhaust port, and air supply port are placed close together, then the device complexity is reduced, but air current short-circuiting occurs reducing air conditioning efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different functional zones within the return compartment. The air conditioner, exhaust port, and air supply port are positioned in specific locations within the compartment to ensure proper air flow separation. The return compartment's geometry and internal arrangement provide local areas for different air flow paths, preventing short-circuiting while maintaining a compact overall structure.
3Reliability
If a mixing section is provided to mix intake air and air conditioner spout air, then proper air mixing is achieved, but the device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The return compartment serves multiple functions simultaneously: it houses the air conditioner, provides air mixing between intake and spout air, facilitates exhaust air removal, and enables air circulation to multiple rooms. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated sections for each function, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining proper air mixing and circulation.
4Reliability
If the air conditioner chamber is made large enough to accommodate all components with proper spacing, then air current short-circuiting is prevented, but the ease of manufacture and construction is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the dynamic air flow characteristics within the return compartment to achieve proper air current separation without requiring excessive physical space. By strategically positioning components and utilizing the natural circulation patterns in the compartment, sufficient separation distance is achieved while maintaining a compact structure that is easier to construct.
