Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to the field of air cooling and more particularly the present invention relates to air cooling assemblies.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Typical cooling systems employ a heat exchanger with wet and dry sides that are preferably hermetically sealed from one another. A water supply system on the wet side of the heat exchanger is generally provided primarily to humidify the air on the wet side. The water on the wet side is divided or distributed by means of a spray or a wetted pad, or the like, so as to increase the surface area of the water, and, thus, the rate of evaporation of the water.
Unfortunately, most solutions for the wet-side involve sponge like materials or other materials and constructions that allow accumulation of mold and dampness over the layers of the wet side units.
Patent number U.S. Pat. No. 7,051,548, by Pruitt Roger. Pruitt discloses a cooler system that includes a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a case member enclosing a wet side in heat exchange relationship with a dry side. The wet and dry sides being substantially hermetically sealed from one another. The cooler system comprises: forcing a first stream of input air through the dry side to produce a stream of cooled air; forcing a second stream of input air through the wet side and maintaining a mass of distributed water on said wet side to produce a stream of humidified air and combining said streams of cooled and humidified air to produce a combined mass of air.
Pruitt's patent provides a method for cooling of air while using a regular AC system as known in the aft combined with another cooling system that uses evaporation of humidified air that increases the cooling effect. Nevertheless, Pruitt does not disclose any solution to the accumulation of mold through the process of humidifying the air, or a solution that will decrease energy consumption of the cooling assembly he provides.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an air cooling assembly (ACA) that comprises an air-conditioning (AC) section, an integrated water cooling (IWC) section, a power source and at least one cross-flow-fan (CFF). The AC section includes at least one AC condensation unit, an AC compressor unit, an AC evaporator and an AC channel. The IWC section includes at least one IWC condensation unit, an IWC compressor unit, an IWC compressor unit-channel, an IWC evaporator, a water tank, a water channel, and a water pump
The AC and IWC condensation units provide manifold surfaces for condensation of humidity from the air that circulates within the ACA system. The AC and IWC condensation units are seated adjacent to the AC and the IWC evaporation units accordingly.
The air that enters the ACA reaches the IWC section first. The IWC compressor unit compresses a refrigerant that runs through the IWC compressor unit channel that is connected to the IWC compressor unit. The refrigerant is chilled. The IWC channel and the chilled refrigerant that is running within it, are seated inside a liquid in the water tank. The liquid may be water, for instance. The water in the water tank is cooled. A water pump pumps the water into a water channel that runs adjacent to the IWC evaporator and allows cooling of the air through evaporation. IWC condensation unit provides a manifold surface for humidity to be condensed upon. The air that exits IWC section is then farther cooled by AC section.
The AC and the IWC condensation units are made of materials, such as metal, that substantially decrease mold and dampness accumulation that usually occur in condensation strata units disclosed in the related art.
The ACA may save energy in the cooling process, compared to the energy consumption of commonly used AC systems, since the air is first cooled in the IWC section that emits cooled air with an additional humidity to the air that entered the ACA. Additional humidity is added through the IWC evaporator due to the water in the water tank. Cooling humid air through AC evaporator requires less energy than cooling of a less humid air.
The ACA may further be operated by a DC (Direct Current) power source. The power source may be a solar panel for energy saving and environmental reasons.
The refrigerants that are used in common AC systems are usually refrigerants such as Freon, which is a highly damaging substance to the environment. The ACA enables using much more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as R134a.
For dry areas cooling such as a desert like environments, the IWC section may further include a water spray and a water spray pump. The water spray pump may pomp water from the water tank and into the water spray. The water spray may then spray water over the IWC evaporator to moisturize the air that evaporates out of the IWC section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an air cooling assembly (ACA) 100 that combines an air-conditioning (AC) section 300 with an integrated water-cooling (IWC) section 200. The air that enters ACA 100 moves through IWC section 200, which may cool the entering air and provides it with humidity. The cooled and moisturized air that exits IWC section 200 is further cooled in AC section 300. Moisturized air enables easier cooling; meaning that AC section 300 requires lower energy consumption than for cooling of an un-moisturized air. Therefore operating IWC section 200 before operating AC section 300 may facilitate in saving power.
Common air conditioners are based on vapor-compressor refrigeration, where heat is transferred from a lower temperature source (such as an indoors environment, for example a room that the AC is aimed to cool) to a higher temperature sink (usually seated in an external environment located, for example outside of the house). Since this direction of heat transfer opposites the second law of thermodynamics, energy must be invested to perform the said heat transfer. In an AC an electric motor drives a compressor. Since evaporation occurs when heat is absorbed, and condensation occurs when heat is released, AC is designed to use the compressor to cause pressure changes between two compartments, and actively pump a refrigerant around. The refrigerant is pumped into a channel of an evaporator, where, despite the low temperature, the low pressure causes the refrigerant to evaporate into a vapor, taking heat with it. The compressor compresses the refrigerant-vapor and pushes the vapor through another heat exchange channel—the compressor-channel. The vapor is condensed into a liquid, rejecting the heat previously absorbed from the indoors environment, where the said rejection may be supported by a fan that disperses the heat out-to the external environment. The cooled air is usually dispersed in the indoors environment through another fan.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, air cooling assembly (ACA) 100 uses an AC section 300 such as the one described above, that comprises an AC compressor unit 30 and AC evaporator 31. ACA 100 integrates the AC section 300 with an IWC section 200 that comprises an IWC compressor unit 20 that is used to cool a refrigerant that runs through an IWC compressor unit channel 24, where IWC compressor unit channel 24 cools water that further evaporate through an IWC evaporator 21. A cross-flow-fan (CFF) 40 draws the cooled air that results from both IWC section 200 and AC section 300 and disperses the cooled air into an indoors environment.
indoors environment is the area that ACA 100 is aimed to cool. For example a building unit such as a house, a room etc. Outdoors environment is the external environment of the indoors environment.
The term “refrigerant” relates to any substance that is known in the art that can be used in a heat cycle that undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid and back. For example, Freon, ammonia, carbon dioxide, R134a, R125, R32, R141b, etc. whereas R134a, for example, is a more environmentally-friendly gas than Freon.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an air cooling assembly (ACA) 100, according to some embodiments of the present invention. ACA 100 comprises: an air-conditioning (AC) section 300 combined with an integrated water cooling (IWC) section 200, a cross-flow-fan (CFF) 40 and a power source 10. The AC section 300 comprises: an AC compressor unit 30 and an AC evaporator 31 that comprises an AC channel 32 and an AC condensation-unit 33. The IWC section 200 comprises: an IWC compressor unit 20 an IWC compressor unit-channel 24, a water-tank 26, a water-pump 28 and an IWC evaporator 21 that includes a water-channel 22 and an IWC condensation-unit 23. An air inserted to ACA 100 from the indoors environment circulates within ACA 100 and exits in a colder temperature, back into the indoors environment. CFF 40 facilitates in pulling the cooled air to exit it outside the ACA 100 towards the indoors environment. CFF 40 may further facilitate in dispersing the exiting cooled air into the indoors environment.
According to embodiments of the present invention and according to the example illustrated in FIG. 1, AC compressor unit 30 cools a refrigerant and forces the cooled refrigerant to AC evaporator 31 through AC channel 32 that is connected to AC compressor unit 30. AC channel 32 may be a substantially coiled and sealed tube that enables the refrigerant to move inside the said tube in a semi-loop. A semi-loop is hereinafter defined as a tube that has at least two openings. AC channel 32 openings may be connected to AC compressor unit 30. The refrigerant that exits AC compressor unit 30 is colder than the refrigerant that returns to AC compressor unit 30. AC evaporator 31 includes AC condensation-unit 33 that is a manifold structure that provides a suitable surface for accumulation of humidity that is condensed to a water liquid-phase on the surface of AC condensation-unit 33.
Humidity from the indoors environment may condense on the surface of AC condensation-unit 33 due to the temperature differences between the temperature of the refrigerant evaporating in AC channel 32 of AC evaporator 31, and the temperature of the air inserted to ACA 100 from the indoors environment, where the refrigerant temperature is substantially lower than the air temperature.
According to embodiments of the present invention and according to the example illustrated in FIG. 1, IWC compressor unit 20 cools a refrigerant and forces the cooled refrigerant to IWC compressor unit-channel 24 that is a substantially coiled and sealed tube that enables the refrigerant to move inside the said tube in a semi-loop. IWC compressor unit-channel 24 openings may be connected to IWC compressor unit 20. The refrigerant that exits IWC compressor unit 20 is colder than the refrigerant that returns to IWC compressor unit 20. At least part of IWC compressor unit-channel 24 is seated in water-tank 26 that comprises of water or any other liquid. The cooled refrigerant that runs through IWC compressor unit-channel 24 cools the liquid in water-tank 26. Water-pump 28 pumps the chilled liquid of water-tank 26 through water-channel 22. IWC evaporator 21, where water-channel 22 is seated, evaporates the liquid that has been pumped tip by water-pump 28. Water-channel 22 is a substantially sealed tube that has at least two openings seated inside the liquid that is placed in water-tank 26.

According to embodiments of the present invention the air from the indoors environment enters IWC section 200. IWC section 200 cools the incoming air and adds moisture to it, by evaporation of additional humidity particles originating in water tank 26. The chilled and moisture air that exits IWC section 200 then enters AC section 300 and is further cooled. According to some embodiments of the AC section 300, AC section 300 may dry the air that has entered this section, due to accumulation of water in AC condensation unit 33.
According to embodiments of the present invention, AC condensation-unit 33 and IWC condensation-unit 23 may be constructed out of a manifold of leaf-like pieces, a granular surface units, or any other construction and design that enable a broad surface-space of a condensation platform. AC condensation-unit 33 and IWC condensation-unit 23 may be made of any material that enables conductivity of heat and coldness. For example, condensation- units 23 and 33 may be made of aluminum leaf-like pieces weaved into a net-like shape.
According to embodiments of the invention, condensation- units 23 and 33 may be maid of the same materials and constructions. According to other embodiments of the present invention, condensation- units 23 and 33 may be maid of different materials and constructions.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may be converted into a heating system, by turning compressors 410 off and switching power 10 source so that the power will be admitted to a heating plate 25, where heating plate 25 may be seated underneath water tank 26 and adjacent to it. The liquid in water tank 26 may heat up by plate 25 and pumped up by pump 28 into water channel 22, IWC evaporator 21 may facilitate in spreading the heated air, using CFF 40.
Additionally or alternatively, one or more heating elements may be connected to power 10 and placed in water tank 26 to beat up the liquid in water tank 26. Once the liquid in water tank 26 is heated pump 28 may guide the heated liquid to the area of IWC evaporator 21 and CFF 40 may then facilitate in guiding the heated air into the indoors area.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may comprise a combination of at least one heating plate 25 and at least one heating element.
FIG. 2 schematically illustrates compressors 410 and standard related components, arranged on a packaging board 400, according to embodiments of the present invention. Each of the compressors 410 connects to substantially similar standard components in a substantially similar way. One compressor 410 may be connected to AC compressor unit 30 through AC channel 32 and the other compressor 410 may be connected to IWC compressor unit 20 through IWC compressor unit channel 24, according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in FIG. 2. Compressor 410 may be connected to a controller 401. Controller 401 may control compressor's 410 operational functions and features such as pressure, electronic operation and the like. Compressor 410 and controller 401 may be connected to a pressure-meter 405. Pressure-meter 405 may measure the pressure in compressor 410. Pressure-meter 405 may further be connected to a fan 413 that has a fan engine 411. Fan 413 may ventilate a condenser 415. Condensers 415 may facilitate in converting the gas phase of the refrigerant into a liquid phase. A thermostat 409 may be attached to compressor's 410 channels 24 and 32 to measure the temperature exiting from the compressors 410. If thermostat 409 senses an alerting temperature, or if pressure-meter 405 senses an alerting pressure, fan 413 may be operated to cool condenser 415.
According to embodiments of the present invention, packaging board 400 may further include at least one gas-dryer 403 to enable drying of the gas-phased refrigerants that run through the channels 24 and 32 from condensation liquids.

According to embodiments of the present invention, AC channel 32 and IWC compressor unit channel 24 may exit from condensers 415 to AC evaporator 31 and IWC evaporator 21 in accordance.
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an ACA 100 with a water spray 51, according to further embodiments of the present invention. Water spray 51 may be seated facing IWC evaporator 21 to moisturize IWC evaporator 21 by spraying water over IWC evaporator 21. Moisturizing the air through IWC section 200, as described above, allows a larger cooling efficiency by AC section 300, since humid air requires less energy consumption than a dry air. The air that enters IWC section 200 may be moisturized by using water-spray 51 that is connected to a water spray pump 53. Water spray pump 53 pumps the water in water tank 26 into water-spray 51, which is a container that has a sprayer. Water spray 51 may spray water over IWC evaporator 21. The air that evaporates from IWC evaporator 21 is further cooled by the effect of evaporation of humid air, and further moisturized by the additional water that have been sprayed. According to other embodiments of the present invention, water spray 51 may be pumping water by using water pump 28.
According to other embodiments of the present invention, moisturizing of evaporator 21 may be carried out through a water-dripper 29, as illustrated in FIG. 4. Dripper 29 may be seated above IWC evaporator 21 and drip water that may be pumped by water pump 28 from water tank 26. Dripper 29 may drip the pumped water downwards to IWC condensation unit 23. Dripper 29 may be a perforated tube, where the said tube may be designed in any shape that facilitates dripper's 29 installation over IWC evaporator 21.
According to embodiments of the present invention, dripper 29 may be separated to or integrated with IWC evaporator 21 and seated above IWC evaporator, to allow the moisturizing of IWC evaporator 21.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness and density of AC condensation-unit 33 or IWC condensation-unit 23 may be pre-designed to fit the humidity conditions of ACA 100 user's environment. For example, if ACA 100 is purposed to be distributed in dry desert-like places, IWC section 200 may include a large water tank 26 and IWC condensation unit 23 that comprises a larger condensation space to allow addition of humidity to the air, where AC section 300 may be designed to include a smaller condensation space in AC condensation unit 33 to prevent drying of air. For humid and tropic environments AC section 300 may be designed to increase drying of the air white IWC section 200 may be designed to reduce moisturizing of air. Adding water spray 51 may fit dry desert-like environments.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may include packaging and control units, such as a remote control and a control panel that enable the user to set up temperature, fan speed, on and off options, etc. The control units may further allow turning AC section 300 and IWC section 200 separately.
According to embodiments of the present invention, power source 10 may be a DC (Direct Current) solar paneling unit, such as a solar battery. ACA 100 may allow AC (Alternative Current) power through an AC to DC transformer. According to other embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may be connected to an alternative currant power source 10.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 power source 10 may be connected to at least one battery as an emergency backup power.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may have only one compressor connected to AC section 300 and IWC section 200.
According to embodiments of the present invention, AC section 300 and IWC section 200 may be operated intermittently, when one section is off and the other section is on.
According to embodiments of the present invention, water that are condensing over the surfaces of AC condensation unit 33 and IWC condensation unit 23 may be collected, filtered and used as drinking or irrigation water.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may be converted into a heating system, by adding a heat pump valve to ACA 100 that nay change the flow direction of the refrigerant inside the channels.
According to embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may further include a packaging structure and at least one control interface that allows a user to control ACA 100 functions such as, for example, turning ACA 100 power on and off, setting the temperature and the like. ACA 100 may further allow controlling over the AC section 300 and the IWC section 200 power, where the user may turn each section's power on and off separately. According to additional embodiments of the present invention, ACA 100 may further include a remote control, where the remote control may include at least part of the functions of the control panel mentioned above.
According to other embodiments of the present invention, IWC compressor unit channel 24 may be seated inside IWC evaporator 21, where water channel 22 is not in use. Additionally, water-spray 51 may moisturize IWC evaporator 21 area while air first passes the IWC section 200 and then continues on to AC section 300.
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as exemplifications of some of the preferred embodiments.
