The present disclosure relates, in general, to air conditioners, and more
specifically, relates to an apparatus for reusing air.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In hot and humid summer weather, people use air conditioners to
comfort themselves at homes or workplaces. Further, they may be used in rooms or
party halls in severe circumstances such as excessive heat and hot conditions or
overcrowded environments to keep the elderly and other disabled individuals safer
from heat-related health issues. In certain enterprise conditions, air conditioners are
not only used to enhance convenience, but also to minimize heat stress on fragile
equipment, such as the machines and fridges in grocery stores and restaurants.
[0003] The most energy-intensive operations in the air conditioning process
are heating or cooling the air. Each of these operations requires the use of special expensive equipment. The hot air, which is pumped by the filters, is circulated in the rooms by the AC. The heat from the blower just raises the surrounding temperature. For the large spaces, halls or rooms to be equipped with heavy metals that create warmth, enough energy is required to influence a person and require ample time to cool a room. The air conditioner provides a significant reduction in air temperature, however, to achieve the required temperature, it is necessary to use an additional cooling line with a regenerative heat exchanger, which complicates the device. Moreover, the effectiveness of conditioning is not high enough, which requires significant energy consumption.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a means that is multi-
functional, eco-friendly, cost-effective and can efficiently supply cold air in indoor space.

[0030] The present disclosure relates, in general, to air conditioners, and more
specifically, relates to an apparatus for reusing air. The present disclosure relates to multi air-reuser for the air that escapes from the AC blower. The present disclosure provides a vortex tube to produce electricity and cold air. The air emerging from the one end produces hot air which reaches temperatures of 100 °C, and the air emerging from the other end produces cold air, which reaches -50 °C. It has no moving parts. The air from the blower passes through a rubber or plastic hose into the vortex tube. The room is ventilated by the cool air flowing from one end of the vortex. The hot air allows the turbine to spin which helps in the efficient production of electricity.
[0031] Moreover, considering the high-temperature generation
corresponding to the air such that the process utilizes the thermo-cells which from the hot air further helps in generation of electricity using thermoelectric process. The generated adequate electricity is stored in a battery further helping an

alternative option for the charging DC-based appliances. The present disclosure can be described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0032] FIG. 1A illustrate an exemplary representation of multi-air reuser of
air conditioner, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. [0033] Referring to FIG. 1 A, multi-air reuser 100 (also referred to as an apparatus 100, herein) can be configured to cool an indoor space and generate electricity from an air conditioner (AC) exhaust. The apparatus 100 can include a vortex tube 102, a blower unit 104, a turbine generator 106 and a battery 108. The vortex tube 102 can include a three-way valve and the turbine generator 106 can include one or more thermoelectric cells 110 (also referred to as thermoelectric cells 110, herein) and ducted heating outlet 112 also interchangeably referred to as ducts 112, the thermoelectric cells 110 and ducted heating outlet 112 can be located in a casing. [0034] In an embodiment, the blower unit 104 circulates air to supply the air with more than a certain pressure to the vortex tube 102. The air from the blower unit 104 of the AC can be reused and given to the vortex tube 102 as input, where the vortex tube 102 is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The air from the blower unit 104 can be received by an inlet 114 of a compressor 116. The air can be compressed with the help of the compressor 116 as air compressors work by forcing air into a container and pressurizing the air. Then, the air is forced through an opening in the tank, where pressure builds up. Then the compressed air enters the vortex tube 102 through pipe 122, the air can travel through a nozzle designed to move the air tangentially inside the vortex tube 102, setting the air into a vortex motion.
[0035] The vortex tube 102 can include the three-way valve, where a first end of the vortex tube 102 coupled to the pipe 122 of the compressor 116, a second end of the vortex tube 102 coupled to a first outlet 118 and a third end of the vortex tube 102 coupled to a second outlet 120. The first outlet can be a cool air outlet 118 and the second outlet can be a hot air outlet 120. The vortex tube 102 generates a vortex with the air received from the blower unit 104. The vortex tube 102 configured to generate cold air and hot air, the cold air produced from the vortex tube 102 can be

delivered to indoor space through the cool air outlet 118 and the hot air produced from the vortex tube 102 can be delivered to the generator 106 through the hot air outlet 120 to generate electricity.
[0036] For example, in a case that the cooling is performed, the three-way valve for cooling allows cold air produced from the vortex tube 102 to be delivered to the indoor unit to perform cooling for the indoor space, and the three-way valve for heating allows hot air produced from the vortex tube 102 to be delivered to the generator 106 to generate electricity by using the hot air.
[0037] The spinning air stream is subsequently forced by nozzle to change its direction and travel down the length of the vortex tube 102 in the form of a spinning shell. A special conical valve at the end of vortex tube 102 allows some of the hot air to escape while diverting the rest back down the tube 102 as a second vortex (also referred to as inner vortex) inside a larger outer vortex. This second vortex would then leave the other end of the tube. The inner vortex loses heat and becomes cold. The outer vortex moves to one end of tube 102 and the inner vortex moves in the opposite direction to the other end, both rotate in the same direction and with the same angular velocity. For example, the inner vortex moves to the first outlet 118 of the vortex tube 102 and the outer vortex moves to the second outlet 120 of the vortex tube 102.
[0038] Since the inner vortex has a smaller radius, conservation of angular momentum would have it rotate at a larger angular velocity. Thus, functioning is done to change its angular momentum and have it rotated at the smaller angular velocity of the outer vortex. The inner vortex loses angular momentum by interacting with the outer vortex and the kinetic energy that is lost shows up as heat in the outer vortex. The cold air moves through the first outlet 118 into the room to cool down the room and the hot air moves through the second outlet 120 to the generator 106.
[0039] In another embodiment, wind turbines in the generator 106 work in a simple manner, such as wind turbines use wind to produce energy instead of using electricity to generate wind. The second outlet 120 may pull out warm/hot air and drive the blades of the turbine around a rotor which spins the electric generator 106.

The thrust is designed with wings at an angle of 45 degrees. The electricity supplied is direct current (DC), and the electricity can be later used in the battery 108 that is coupled to the generator 106. The turbine and the battery 108 are kept in the casing, with ducts 112 that allow heat to circulate and avoid damage to the battery 108. The generated adequate electricity is stored in the battery 108 for the charging DC-based appliances.
[0040] Additionally, the ducted heating outlet 112 and thermoelectric cells 110 are placed for the generation of electricity utilizing incoming hot air from the second outlet 120, which is being produced during the process of the vortex tube 102. Furthermore, then enclosed thermoelectric cells 110 are sort of cell where heat is utilized to give electrical force straightforwardly. These cells are electrochemical cells in which the two anode terminals are purposely kept up at various temperatures. This temperature contrast creates an expected distinction between the terminals. The terminals can be of indistinguishable creation with the homogeneous electrolyte arrangement.
[0041] However, as long there is a distinction in temperature between the anode terminals, a current can course through the circuit. The thermoelectric cell 110 can be viewed as comparable to a fixation cell yet as opposed to running on contrasts in the focus/pressing factor of the reactants, they utilize contrasts in the fixations of nuclear power. The main use of thermoelectric cells 110 is the creation of power from low-temperature heat sources (squander heat and sun-based warmth). Their energy production is low, in the scope of 0.1% to 1% for a change of warmth into power.
[0042] Further, hot air from the second outlet 120 can be ventilated over a ludicrous filter pipe 124, which is being added as a connection to the hot air outlet 120 of the vortex tube 102 such that the air to be used for the other purposes gets refined and can kill certain germs flowing inside the vortex tube 102. [0043] FIG. IB illustrate an exploded view of the apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The exploded view of the thermoelectric cells 110, ducted heating outlet 112, battery 108, motor with angled fins 126, and three-way valve of vortex tube 102 is shown in FIG. IB.

[0044] FIG. 1C illustrate a front view and side view of the apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1C depicts the front view and side view components of the apparatus.
[0045] The embodiments of the present disclosure described above provide several advantages. The one or more of the embodiments provides apparatus 100 that can efficiently supply an indoor space with cold air produced from the vortex tube 102. The present disclosure provides the apparatus 100 that generates hot air produced from the vortex tube 102 to generate electricity.
