Abstract

PURPOSE:To cool hot air flowing from a condenser for discharge by a method wherein air heated as a result of air being used for cooling a refrigerant by means of a condenser is cooled by a water filter located in a passage for discharging the air in a room. CONSTITUTION:A condenser 2 is located in a level higher than those of suction ports 13 formed in the lower part of the sides on both sides of a cabinet C, and is cooled by means of the open air sucked through a suction port 13 with the aid of a hot air discharge fan 4 arranged above the condenser 2. Hot air heated as a result of the air cooling the condenser 2 is discharged through a hot air discharge port (a passage for discharge) 12 formed in the back of the cabinet C to the outside. The hot air discharge port 12 is covered with a filter 9, hot air is guided from an evaporator 1 through a pipe 15 to a water filter 9, and the hot air is cooled by means of condensate, and a moisture content evaporated along with cooling is contained to discharge it in a room. Water passing the water filter 9 is received by a water receiving pan 10, and recovered to a water tank 8 located on the left inner lower part of the cabinet C through a tank drain pipe 16.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrially ■li minute! The present invention relates to a cooling fan in which air is used for cooling refrigerant in a condenser.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned cooling air fan is generally configured so that a refrigerant is circulated through a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, etc. installed in a cabinet, and the cold air cooled by the evaporator is discharged by a blower. Ru.

In the condenser, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor is air-cooled, and heated air (hereinafter, this heated air is referred to as hot air) is generated. Since this warm air is of no use to the cooler, it is discharged indoors or a duct is installed to discharge it outdoors.

However, in order to connect the cooling fan to the outside through the duct, it is necessary to form an opening in the wall of the building, etc., through which the duct is inserted, which makes the installation work of the cooling equipment troublesome, and It becomes difficult to change the installation location of the cooler. Furthermore, when the gas is discharged indoors, there is a problem in that the indoor temperature rises unnecessarily.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cooler that can cool and discharge hot air from a condenser.

? The present invention provides a refrigerant circulating device including a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator in a cabinet, and in which air is introduced to the condenser for cooling the refrigerant. The air conditioner is characterized in that the heated air used for cooling is cooled by a water filter provided in a passage for discharging the air into the room.

In addition, it is convenient to use water obtained by dehumidification in the evaporator as the water supplied to the water filter. As it is cooled, it is released containing water that evaporated as it cools.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the water filter may be configured to be specially supplied with water necessary for the water filter, but in particular, when the water filter is configured to introduce water obtained by dehumidification in the evaporator into the water filter. This eliminates the need for special water replenishment work, which is advantageous in simplifying maintenance.

1- Consistent presentation Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1(a) is a front perspective view of a cooling fan according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(b) is a rear perspective view thereof, and FIG. 2(a)
is a cross-sectional front view of the joint, FIG.
Figure (a) is a side view of the water filter, and Figure (b) is its front view.

This cooler is a cabinet C formed in a vertical rectangular shape.
A refrigerant circulation system R including an evaporator 1, a condenser 2, and a compressor 6.
and blower F are stored.

There are air intake ports 13 and 14 at the bottom of both left and right sides of cabinet C and at the top of the right side, and a cold air exhaust port 11 for discharging cooling air at the front of cabinet C.
A hot air outlet 12 is provided on the back side of each.

The evaporator L is arranged to cover the intake port 14 formed at the upper part of the right side of the cabinet C, and cools the outside air taken in from the intake port 14 by the cold air exhaust fan 3 of the blower F, and condenses moisture in the outside air. After dehumidifying the air, the cold air outlet 11 formed on the front of the cabinet C
It is released from the outside to the outside.

The capacitor 2 is placed above the intake ports 13 formed at the bottom of both left and right sides of the cabinet C! The condenser 2 is cooled by outside air sucked in through these intake ports 13 by a warm air exhaust fan 4 disposed above the condenser 2. The heated air that cools the condenser 2 is discharged to the outside from a hot air outlet (discharge passage) 12 formed on the back surface of the cabinet C.

Note that the cold air exhaust fan 3 and the hot air exhaust fan 4 are driven by a common motor 5.

The hot air outlet 12 is covered with a water filter 9, and the water filter 9 is passed from the evaporator 1 through a vibrator 15.
The hot air is cooled by condensed water, and the water that evaporates as it cools is absorbed into the air before being released into the room.

The water that has passed through the water filter 9 is received in a water tray 10, passed through a tank drainage vibrator 16, and is collected in a water tank 8 provided at the lower left inside the cabinet C.

In this cooling air fan, hot air discharged from the condenser 2 passes through the water filter 9 to evaporate the water in the water filter 9, and is cooled by the heat of vaporization generated at that time, thereby suppressing the rise in indoor temperature. be done. In addition, the exhausted air contains moisture that evaporated during cooling, so
Due to the dehumidifying action of the evaporator 1, indoor air that tends to be dry can be moderately humidified.

Furthermore, since the water condensed in the evaporator 1 is led to the water filter 9, there is no need to specially replenish the water filter 9 with the necessary water, and maintenance does not become troublesome. Rather, a portion of the water condensed in the evaporator 1 is evaporated in the water filter 9, which reduces the amount of water stored in the water tank 8, reducing the number of times water is disposed of in the water tank 8, and simplifying maintenance. can.

In the above embodiment, the water filter 9 is provided at the hot air outlet 12, but the warm air outlet 1 is provided inside the cabinet C.
2, and a water filter 9 is installed in the duct.
may be provided.

As explained above, in the cooler of the present invention, the hot air discharged from the condenser is cooled by a water filter and then released. In addition to suppressing the rise in room temperature caused by cooling, the room can be humidified by the moisture that evaporates during cooling. Furthermore, by evaporating a portion of the condensed water during cooling, the number of times the condensed water is discarded can be reduced, thereby simplifying maintenance.

In particular, in the present invention, when the water obtained by dehumidification in the evaporator is introduced into the water filter to cool the hot air, there is no need to particularly replenish the water necessary for the water filter, which simplifies layer maintenance. 4° can be achieved.
