  • Publication number: 20250137684
    Abstract: The invention discloses a device for condensate water recovery and atomization to cool the condenser of a household split air conditioner. Includes: an air conditioner outdoor unit with a drain pipe at the bottom and a condensed water storage tank on top, connected to a condensed water inlet pipe; A filter unit is in the storage tank; The condenser is inside the outdoor unit, with an atomization unit installed directly opposite it. The atomization unit is connected to the storage tank, and a temperature sensing unit is on the condenser. The condensate water inlet pipe connects to the outdoor unit's water pipe. The atomization unit uses purified condensate to cool the condenser in stages, avoiding poor refrigeration and increased compressor power consumption due to high condenser temperature.
