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; being then delivered to the main atomizer, 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.
Claims17
An air conditioning appliance comprising:
- an electric motor for powering the appliance;
- a water source that provides water to the appliance;
- an atomizer component for atomizing a portion of the water into a mist, wherein the atomizer component is connected to the motor;
- a bowl that is located proximate to the atomizer component, wherein the bowl has a plurality of radial ridges on a upper part of the bowl and a basin on a lower part of the bowl that receives the portion of the water that is not atomized into mist;
- and
- a set of channels that delivers water from the water source to the atomizer component, and delivers the portion of the water that is not atomized into mist back to the atomizer component;
- wherein the set of channels has a first channel that is substantially horizontal with respect to an orientation of the appliance, which provides the water from the water source to the atomizer component;
- and
- wherein the set of channels has a second channel that is arcuate and extends from the lower part of the bowl to the first channel to return the portion of the water that is not atomized into mist to the atomizer component.

An air conditioning appliance comprising:
- a motor for powering the appliance;
- a liquid source that provides a liquid to the appliance;
- an atomizer component for atomizing a portion of the liquid into a mist, wherein the atomizer component is connected to the motor;
- a bowl that is located proximate to the atomizer component, wherein the bowl has a basin on a lower part of the bowl that receives the portion of the liquid that is not atomized into mist;
- and
- a set of channels that delivers liquid from the liquid source to the atomizer component, and delivers the portion of the liquid that is not atomized into mist back to the atomizer component;
- wherein the set of channels has a first channel that is substantially horizontal with respect to an orientation of the appliance, which provides the liquid from the liquid source to the atomizer component;
- and
- wherein the set of channels has a second channel that is arcuate and extends from the lower part of the bowl to the first channel to return the portion of the liquid that is not atomized into mist to the atomizer component.
