Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to an indoor air conditioning method in which far infrared rays having an excellent deep-sea force are used for heating.

(Prior Art) Recently, far-infrared rays have been recognized as effective for promoting health and medical treatment, and have been used for various health facilities or food management,
Far infrared rays are also used for indoor heating.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) As a means for utilizing far infrared rays in the above-mentioned conventional, far infrared rays are radiated by directly heating by incorporating an electric heater in a far infrared ray radiator, for example, a ceramic,
This product has a problem in that the efficiency of generating far infrared rays is improved by direct heating, but the cost is high due to the use of electric energy, and the maintenance and management of the electric energy is troublesome.

In the case of indoor heating that has an outlet on the ceiling surface, generally, the hot air blown out rarely stays in the upper part of the room and reaches the floor, which causes a temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the room and There was a tendency for people's feet to get cold.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention uses far infrared rays in order to eliminate the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the room at the time of conventional heating, and uses the air blown from the air conditioner as a heat source for generating the far infrared rays. To reduce the use of energy such as electric heat to heat the radiator,
An effective combination of air conditioning equipment and far infrared radiators,
A radiator that emits far infrared rays by contacting with the air blown from the air conditioner installed on the indoor ceiling as a heating source is provided along the blowing direction of the blown air, and the far infrared rays from the radiator are emitted indoors. The feature is that it is made to radiate toward the floor surface.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, (1) is an air conditioner having a side surface as a conditioned air outlet (2) and a lower surface as an indoor air inlet (3), and the air blown from the outlet (2) is directed to a ceiling ( A radiator (5) made of ceramics was formed as a far-infrared radiator on the ceiling surface so as to blow out along the lower surface of 4) and along the blowing direction of the air.

The ceramic radiator (5) is formed by crushing a general Al-based, Ti-based, Zr-based synthetic material or a natural product such as sunstone and barleystone.
It is fired, and pigments are mixed into these materials to color them appropriately or magnetic materials are mixed if necessary, and this is laminated on a substrate such as wood, paper, resin plate, aluminum material, etc. , A piece of tile, a sheet, or other suitable means is attached along the blowing direction of the air blown from the outlet.

In this case, the air conditioner (1) may be a heat pump type of a water heat source, an air cooling type separate heat pump, a fan coil type or a simple warm air blower.

In FIG. 1, (7) is a floor, (8) is a decorative material such as vinyl tile attached to the floor, and (9) is a damper for diverting blown air. In the above configuration, the warm air blown out from the outlet (2) along the lower surface of the ceiling during the heating operation heats the ceramic radiator (5), and the heated radiator (5) heats the blown air. The energy is converted into far infrared energy and radiated toward the floor (7) surface. Therefore, the floor surface is heated by the far infrared rays to heat the air layer in the lower part of the room by heat transfer, and the far infrared rays are directly radiated to the human body.
Furthermore, the indoor air temperature is made uniform by the stirring action of the air blown from the air conditioner, and there is no adverse effect such as cooling only the feet as in the past.
Moreover, the far-infrared radiation to the human body has a health effect.

Also, in this embodiment, the warm air blown out tends to stay in the upper part of the room, but the stagnant air can also warm the radiator (5) and can be useful for generating far infrared rays. A far-infrared radiator (5) is also attached to the periphery of the opening of the blowing port (3). Further, the deflection damper (9) is directed downward as shown by the dotted line to change the blowing direction of the cool air to the downward direction during cooling to directly radiate the cold air (5).
It was designed to prevent cooling.

Another embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is a duct-shaped ventilation path (1) in the air blowing direction from the air outlet (2) of the air conditioner (1).
1) and the lower surface plate forming the ventilation passage (11) is directly formed by the ceramic radiating layer (5) or the lower surface plate is laminated with the radiator (5). The ventilation passage (11) is designed to blow out into the room through an opening (12) provided on the lower surface of the end of the ventilation passage (11). The warm air passing through the ventilation passage (11) heats the radiator (5). Far-infrared rays are emitted from the radiator (5) toward the lower floor surface by the heating, which is the same as in the previous embodiment, and the action and effect are not different.

Furthermore, in another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the indoor ceiling is generally a double ceiling (13), and the air outlet (2) of the air conditioner (1) is opened in the space (14) between the two. An opening (15) in which a radiation layer (5) is formed on the lower surface of the lower plate (13a) of the heavy ceiling (13), and blown air passes through the space (14) between the double ceilings and is provided at an appropriate position on the lower plate (13). So that it blows out into the room from the space (15)
The far-infrared rays are radiated toward the floor surface by heating the radiator (5) with the warm air passing through, and the action and effect are similar to those of the above-mentioned two embodiments.

(Effect of the invention) According to the present invention, a far-infrared radiator is provided along the blowing direction of the air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner provided on the ceiling, and this is heated by the hot air blown out. By doing so, the far infrared rays are radiated from the radiator toward the lower floor surface, so the floor surface is heated by the far infrared rays, and therefore the air in the empty space in the lower part of the room is warmed and blows warm air. The upper and lower air in the room are both effectively heated by the cooperation of the above, and the indoor temperature distribution becomes uniform vertically due to the stirring action of the blown air, eliminating the harmful effect of cooling only the feet according to the conventional heating action, and far infrared rays reach deep inside the human body Therefore, it feels warm due to the heat generated by its resonance action, and accordingly, even when the room temperature is low, the heating energy can be reduced without receiving a cold sensation, and the health of the human body can be promoted by the characteristics of far infrared rays. so It is economical because it does not require heat source equipment such as electric power for heating the radiating layer, because far-infrared radiators are simply formed along the direction of the blowing air and far-infrared rays are radiated in contact with the blowing air. It has energy-saving effect, and by the cooperation of far infrared rays and air conditioners, it can be used for building buildings, general households, air conditioning in stores, food storage, air conditioning in food processing rooms, animal and plant breeding, cultivation rooms, hospitals. It has a feature that it is suitable as an air conditioner for each room such as a laboratory, a clean room and the like.
