Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an air-condition effect which a user bodily senses by disposing a radiation air-conditioning panel at a height corresponding to a repose height of the user, said panel incorporating as a heat source a thermoelectric element utilizing a Peltier effect. CONSTITUTION:A thermoelectric element 8 is constructed by alternately connecting p type thermoelectric semiconductor elements 9 such as bismuth-tellurium alloy (Bi2Te3) for example and n type thermoelectric semiconductor element 10 through a surface side metal piece 11 and a back surface side metal piece 12. Once a current is conducted from the n type thermoelectric semiconductor elements 10 to the p type thermoelectric semiconductor elements 9, the surface side metal pieces 11 are cooled while the back surface metal pieces 12 are heated. On the contrary, once a current is made to flow from the p type thermoelectric semiconductor elements 9 to the n type thermoelectric semiconductor elements 10, the surface side metal pieces 11 are heated while the back surface side metal pieces 12 are cooled. Hereby, a heat conductive panel in contact with the surface side metal pieces 11 is cooled or heated. As a user feels cooled or heated atmosphere from the heat conductive panel and touches the heat conductive panel, he feels coldness or heat. Hereby, an air-condition effect which the user bodily senses can be improved.

(Function) In the toilet air conditioner according to the present invention, the interior of the toilet is
The radiant heating and cooling panels and temperature sensors ensure that the temperature is always maintained at a constant level, eliminating sudden temperature changes. Furthermore, since the radiant heating and cooling panel uses a thermal lightning element that utilizes the Peltier effect as its heat source, the panel thickness can be made thinner, and it can also be incorporated into the toilet wall or door, so the interior of the toilet will not be cramped. Furthermore, there is no need for power such as a motor or compressor or complicated piping, and it is possible to switch between cooling and heating simply by changing the direction of the current. Also,
Since the radiant heating/cooling panel is placed at a height corresponding to the user's face, the user can feel cold or hot air due to heat transfer due to radiation, making it possible to improve the heating/cooling effect.
