Structural arrangement for air-conditioner

Abstract

BUILDING FEATURE APPLIED IN AIR-CONDITIONING APPLIANCE, capable of enriching the air with atomized water droplets in two stages, where in a first moment the water sent directly from the water supply network is pre-atomized in an appliance (8); being then delivered to the main atomizer (9), which produces the final atomization, creating an ultrafine mist that facilitates the thermal exchange between the mist and the air. The air-conditioning appliance must be associated to a fan so as to spread this mist to the room.

Claims

1. An air conditioning appliance comprising: an engine for powering the appliance; a water source that provides water to the appliance; a main atomizer for atomizing a portion of the water into mist, wherein the main atomizer is connected to the engine; a tray that is located proximate to the main atomizer, wherein the tray has a number of radial ridges on a upper part of the tray and a container on a lower part of the tray that receives the portion of the water that is not atomized into mist; a conduit for delivering the portion of the water that is not atomized into mist back to the main atomizer; and a fan that carries the mist into an environment.

2. The air conditioning appliance of claim 1, wherein the water source comprises a register that controls an amount of water in the flow.

3. The air conditioning appliance of claim 2, wherein the amount of the water that is sent to the main atomizer is controlled by a remote control.

4. The air conditioning appliance of claim 2, wherein the water source comprises an electrovalve that is located proximate to the register to control a flow of the water from the water source to the appliance.

5. The air conditioning appliance of claim 4, wherein when the appliance is started, the electrovalve opens to allow the flow of the water.

6. The air conditioning appliance of claim 4, wherein when the appliance is turned off, the electrovalve closes to stop the flow of the water.

7. The air conditioning appliance of claim 6, wherein when the air-conditioning appliance is turned off, a portion of the water remaining in the conduit and the container is consumed by an inertial rotation of the main atomizer.

8. The air conditioning appliance of claim 1, wherein the main atomizer comprises a pre-atomizer that fragments the water into droplets, wherein the droplets are provided to the main atomizer that transforms the droplets into the mist.

9. The air conditioning appliance of claim 8, wherein the pre-atomizer comprises a plurality of peripheral fins to fragment the water.

10. The air conditioning appliance of claim 8, wherein the main atomizer is operative to move water from the container to the pre-atomizer via the conduit.

11. The air conditioning appliance of claim 10, wherein the conduit comprises a first conduit that is connected between the pre-atomizer and the water source and a second conduit that is connected between the container and the first conduit.

12. The air conditioning appliance of claim 1, wherein the water source is a water network.

13. The air conditioning appliance of claim 1, wherein the water that is provided to the main atomizer is not returned to the water source.

Description

FIGURE DESCRIPTION

(1) The characterization of the present application for patent of a utility model is done by means of a representative drawing of the construction disposition applied in an air conditioning appliance, in such a way that the equipment may be wholly reproduced by adequate technique, allowing a full characterization of the functionality of the object sought.

(2) From the figure drawn, which expresses the best form or preferred form of the product idealized here, we base the foundations of the descriptive part of the report by means of a detailed and consecutive numbering, which explains aspects that might be unclear due to the chosen representation so as to clearly determine the protection here requested.

(3) This figure is merely illustrative and may present some variation as long as they do not differ from what was initially requested.

(4) In this case we have:

(5) FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded view of the air conditioning appliance proposed and;

(6) FIG. 2 shows the mounted air conditioning appliance.

DESCRIPTION

(7) An ideal form of producing the utility model comprehends a protection grid (1) placed in the back of the air conditioning appliance next to the engine (3), where the engine (3) is protected by a structure (2) that contains room for a starting device (13), being the latter an engine that is attached by terminal screws (14) to the tray (4). This tray (4) contains a number of radial ridges on its upper half and is completed by the main atomizer (9). The main atomizer (9) covers the pre-atomizer (8), and the water that supplies the pre-atomizer (8) comes from a main conduit (5), and this main conduit (5) is connected to a register (15) that is directly linked to the water supply network. A secondary conduit (6) that carries this water from the lower part to feed the pre-atomizer, in which there is a container (7) for this water in the lower part of the plate; including a pre-atomizer (8) that contains peripheral radial fins that allow the pre-atomization of water before sending it to the conic disc or main atomizer (9), in which this main atomizer (9) is attached to the shaft of the engine (3) by means of a mating nut (11) and washer (10) and contains a protection grid on its front part (12).

(8) The register (15) is directly connected to an electrovalve (16), being this electrovalve (16) linked to the water network. When the air-conditioning appliance is started the electrovalve (16) opens the water that feeds it. When the air-conditioning appliance is turned off the electrovalve (16) closes the entrance of the water in the system. The amount of water that is sent to the pre-atomizer (8) is controlled by remote control (17).

(9) Operation

(10) The air-conditioning appliance proposed has two atomizing stages, in which the combination of these two stages produces an ultrafine water mist that allows for an improvement in the thermal exchange between the atomized water and the air in the environment.

(11) The water goes into the air-conditioning appliance directly from the water network, goes through an electrovalve (16) and through a register (15). The electrovalve (16) controls the entrance or not of this water and the register (15) controls the amount of water. The water reaches the system by means of a main conduit (5), which comes from the piping of the register. This main conduit (5) takes the water directly to the pre-atomizer (8). Part of this water has already been pre-atomized and sent to the main atomizer (9) to produce an ultrafine mist, but a residue of water that is not immediately consumed in the pre-atomizer (8) remains. This water that is not consumed immediately is re-fed in the system by the main atomizer (9). The main atomizer when circling creates a flow of air that immediately carries the non-consumed water within a container (7) to a secondary conduit (6) placed in the internal side rim of the tray (4). The main atomizer (9) does not touch the existing water in the container (7), but just the flow of air and carries it to the aforementioned secondary conduit (6) and delivers it to a main conduit (5) that re-carries this water to the pre-atomizer (8). This pre-atomizer (8) fragments the water in droplets and carries it to a main atomizer (9) that transforms it in ultrafine mist. This way, all the water that enters the air-conditioning appliance is transformed into an ultrafine mist, without the need of a water and pump reservoir. When the air-conditioning appliance is turned off, all the residual water that may have remained in the main conduit (5), secondary conduit (6) and in the container (7) is consumed by the inertial rotation of the main atomizer (9).

(12) The air-conditioning appliance must be associated to a fan, in which the flow of air created by the fan carries this ultrafine mist to the environment, allowing a thermal exchange of water-air, thus reducing the heat.
