Para ello, el dispositivo que se preconiza está constituido a partir de una carcasa, de dimensiones adecuadas al caudal de aire que necesite la instalación a la que esté destinada, carcasa en la que por uno de sus extremos se establece una entrada de aire, mientras que por el otro incorpora una turbina o ventilador eléctrico asociado a la conducción de la instalación de aire acondicionado de que se trate.For this, the device that is recommended is constituted from a housing, of adequate dimensions to air flow required by the installation to which it is intended, housing in which at one of its ends an entry is established of air, while on the other it incorporates a turbine or electric fan associated with driving the installation of air conditioning in question.

A partir de esta estructuración convencional, la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que en el seno de la citada carcasa se establecen una pluralidad de piezas de naturaleza cerámica, a modo de filtros sobre los que incide el aire aspirado por el ventilador, piezas cerámicas sobre las que se vierte constantemente agua para disminuir la temperatura de las mismas y que, consecuentemente, el aire que incide sobre las misas disminuya igualmente su temperatura, con un consumo energético muy reducido.From this conventional structuring, the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that within from the said housing a plurality of pieces of ceramic nature, as filters on which the air strikes sucked by the fan, ceramic pieces on which constantly pour water to lower the temperature of the themselves and, consequently, the air that affects the masses also lower its temperature, with a very energetic consumption reduced.

De forma más concreta, en el fondo de la citada carcasa se establece un depósito de agua sobre el que confluye el agua vertida sobre las piezas cerámicas, agua que es impulsada hacia la zona superior de la carcasa a través de una bomba y convenientemente filtrada, para ser expulsada en forma de lluvia a través de las correspondientes conducciones sobre los elementos cerámicos.More specifically, at the bottom of the aforementioned housing a water tank is established on which the water poured on the ceramic pieces, water that is driven towards the upper area of the housing through a pump and conveniently filtered, to be expelled in the form of rain to through the corresponding conduits on the elements ceramic

A fin de aumentar el rendimiento en la transmisión de calor entre el aire y el agua, se ha previsto que los insterticios definidos entre las piezas cerámicas se rellenen con material a modo de esponja, a través del que fluye por gravedad el agua.In order to increase performance in the heat transmission between air and water, it is expected that the defined inserts between the ceramic pieces are filled with sponge-like material, through which it flows by gravity Water.

Por último, cabe señalar que el fondo de la carcasa, en el que se establece el depósito colector del agua, estará dotado del correspondiente desagüe para vaciado del mismo en caso de emergencia o en operaciones de limpieza y mantenimiento.Finally, it should be noted that the bottom of the housing, in which the water collection tank is established, it will be equipped with the corresponding drain to drain it in case of emergency or cleaning operations and maintenance.

Se consigue de esta manera un dispositivo con un reducido consumo energético, sumamente eficaz y con una estructuración sencilla que reduce sensiblemente las operaciones de mantenimiento del dispositivo.In this way a device with a reduced energy consumption, extremely effective and with a simple structuring that significantly reduces the operations of device maintenance.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de la figura reseñada puede observarse como el aparato de aire acondicionado que se preconiza está constituido a partir de una carcasa (1), que en el ejemplo de realización práctica elegido presenta una configuración prismático-rectangular, pero que obviamente podría adoptar diferentes configuraciones acordes a diferentes líneas de diseño sin que ello afecte a la esencia de la invención, carcasa que en cualquier caso presentará su extremidad posterior (2) abierta, en orden a permitir la entrada de aire que va a ser posteriormente refrigerado y propulsado a través de la correspondiente instalación de refrigeración, aire que sale de dicha carcasa a través de una conducción (3) establecida en su extremidad opuesta, en la que se dispone un electro-ventilador o turbina (4) para forzar el flujo de aire en dicha dirección.In view of the review figure you can be observed as the air conditioner that is recommended it is constituted from a housing (1), which in the example of chosen practical implementation presents a configuration prismatic-rectangular, but that could obviously adopt different configurations according to different lines of design without affecting the essence of the invention, housing which in any case will present its posterior limb (2) open, in order to allow air to enter subsequently cooled and propelled through the corresponding cooling installation, air coming out of said housing through a conduit (3) established at its tip opposite, in which an electro-fan is arranged or turbine (4) to force air flow in said direction.

Pues bien, de acuerdo ya con la invención, en el seno de la carcasa (1) se establecen una pluralidad de piezas cerámicas (5) entre las cuales se definen una pluralidad de intersticios para paso del aire de refrigeración, definiéndose en la parte inferior de dicha carcasa (1) un depósito acumulador de agua (6), el cual puede ser llenado inicialmente a través de una toma (7) establecida sobre la zona superior de dicha carcasa, depósito que a su vez puede ser vaciado por motivos de limpieza, mantenimiento o en casos de emergencia a través de un desagüe (8).Well, according to the invention, in the within the housing (1) a plurality of parts are established ceramics (5) among which a plurality of interstices for cooling air passage, defined in the lower part of said housing (1) an accumulator tank of water (6), which can be initially filled through a socket (7) established on the upper area of said housing, deposit that in turn can be emptied for cleaning reasons, maintenance or in case of emergency through a drain (8).

El agua contenida en el depósito (6) es bombeada a través de un conducto (9) asistido por la correspondiente bomba (10) hacia la parte superior de la carcasa (1), previo paso por un filtro (11) de carbón activo, que evita la formación de cal, de manera que al llegar a dicha zona superior es reconducida a través de una pluralidad de rociadores (12) que la expulsan en forma de lluvia sobre las piezas cerámicas (5).The water contained in the tank (6) is pumped through a conduit (9) assisted by the corresponding pump (10) towards the top of the housing (1), after passing through a activated carbon filter (11), which prevents the formation of lime, of so that upon reaching said upper zone it is redirected through of a plurality of sprinklers (12) that expel it in the form of rain on the ceramic pieces (5).

A los citados rociadores (12) podrá accederse a través de una tapa practicable (13) establecida en la zona superior de la carcasa (1).The sprinklers (12) may be accessed through a practicable cover (13) established in the upper area of the housing (1).

Tal y como se ha apuntado con anterioridad, a fin de aumentar el rendimiento en la transmisión de calor del aire, se ha previsto que entre los intersticios definidos entre las piezas cerámicas (5), así como superiormente a las mismas, se establezca un relleno de material a modo de esponja (14), que ralentiza el flujo del agua por gravedad, ampliando dicho rendimiento térmico.As noted above, to in order to increase the performance in air heat transmission, it is expected that between the interstices defined between the ceramic pieces (5), as well as superior to them, are establish a material filling as a sponge (14), which slows the flow of water by gravity, expanding said thermal efficiency

De esta manera, y a modo de ejemplo, en un ambiente en el que el aire está a 35ºC y con un 50% de humedad, con el dispositivo de la invención se impulsa a la salida del mismo aire a 25ºC y un 85% de humedad, con un reducido consumo energético.In this way, and by way of example, in a environment in which the air is at 35ºC and with 50% humidity, with the device of the invention is propelled at the exit thereof air at 25ºC and 85% humidity, with reduced consumption energetic.
