However, scientific and technological progress not only brings benefits but also negative damage. With the increasing global warming problem, people gradually began to pay attention to environmental protection issues, and there are many products for the purpose of environmental protection.
At present, the existing air conditioners all have energy saving features, but people do not pay attention to the issue of heat discharged from the air conditioners. The discharged heat from the air conditioner has a great impact on the environment, such as air pollution and thermal pollution. A large number of hot air discharged from air conditioners will form a heat island effect that city temperature is higher than the rural suburbs, so that people feel unbearable in the city. Further, the air conditioners are operated at high temperatures for a long time, resulting in low operating performance and life. Additionally, air conditioning can cause damage due to overheating.
Furthermore, the generated water vapor is directly raised by the fan of the existing air conditioning equipment, so that water vapor can be discharged with the wind. However, a shortcoming is that the fan and a bottom of the existing air conditioning equipment has a high to avoid fan hit the bottom; therefore, the residual water stays in the bottom and cannot be discharged.
