Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is an air conditioner of the type in which air is supplied from the floor in the direction of the ceiling so as to exude at an extremely low wind speed to completely discharge pollutants and form temperature stratification in the room. Regarding the device.

2. Description of the Related Art In the air conditioning of office buildings in recent years,
Local temperature distribution near the outlet or uneven temperature distribution due to heat generation from ubiquitous OA equipment, turbulence of air flow due to the presence of partitions, furniture, etc. Floors, especially carpeted floors It is an important issue to solve the problems of pollutants such as dust, mites, molds or cigarette smoke, body odor, and exhaled air that roll up from the surface and realize a clean and comfortable air conditioning environment.

However, the conventional general air-conditioning system, whether it is a ceiling blow-out system or a floor blow-out system, is a complete mixing system in which the air in the room is actively stirred and mixed from the air outlet with the force of air supply. Therefore, it is difficult to completely remove the pollutants that are generated or flowed in the room and are diluted and diffused by the air supply. It is possible to remove pollutants to some extent by increasing the ventilation frequency, but in order to maintain the desired room temperature, increase the blown air volume or considerably lower the supply air temperature in the case of cooling. However, in the case of heating, it has to be considerably high, and there is a problem that the equipment becomes large and energy consumption increases.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-1
In Japanese Patent No. 61749, the air quality is improved by forming a piston flow in which air is supplied into the room at a low wind speed from the entire surface of the floor and the whole surface of the ceiling is a perforated plate to uniformly push the air toward the ceiling surface. I have a suggestion.

[0005]

However, the air-conditioning system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-161749 is a system in which air is supplied to the room from the entire surface of the floor at a low wind speed, and therefore the interior zone occupying the central main area of the room. Can be easily maintained at the set temperature in the room, but since it is not a method of actively stirring and mixing the air in the room with the momentum of supply air, the perimeter zone, which is the window side area affected by disturbance, There is a problem that it is difficult to maintain a comfortable air-conditioning environment because it is easily affected by changes in outside temperature and solar radiation. In addition, in office buildings in recent years, due to the increase in computers and other office automation equipment, there is a cooling load even in the winter, which makes it more difficult to control the air conditioning in the perimeter zone.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems. By supplying air so that it exudes at an ultra-low wind speed from the floor toward the ceiling, the pollutants are completely discharged and the temperature stratification in the room is completed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner that enables the formation of the air conditioner and can expand the clean and comfortable air conditioning environment not only to the interior zone but also to the perimeter zone.

Further, the inside of the window counter 26 provided in the window waist wall portion 25 is communicated with the air supply chamber 7, and one or a plurality of slits are formed on the window counter 26 as shown in FIG. 1 (B). An air supply port 27 is formed, and a heating / cooling unit 29 is arranged in the window counter 26. Hot / cold water or a refrigerant can be supplied to the heating / cooling unit 29. Further, the heating / cooling device 29 may be a heating device without a cooling function, and in that case, an electric heater may be used.

The operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be described. In this air conditioning system, air having a temperature slightly lower than the set temperature of the room 1 during cooling and air having a temperature slightly higher than during heating is supplied from the air conditioner 13 through the air supply chamber 7 to the floor member 6. Air is supplied from the pores 6a. At this time, the supply air volume is also controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the supply fan 12. The air supply rate in the chamber 1 is about 0.1 mm to 100 mm per second (preferably 5 mm per second).
Ultra-low wind speed of 10 mm (speed that human skin does not feel)
The air is supplied so as to exude into the chamber 1 to form a temperature stratification in the chamber 1. At the upper part of the heating element such as a human body and OA equipment, a heat rising flow is generated due to the heat generation, and the supplied air is attracted to this flow and gathers at the heating element.
The polluted air C containing heat load and pollutants quickly moves to the upper space, and the area around the occupant M is always surrounded by fresh air exuding from the entire floor.

At the time of cooling in the summer, the cool air is supplied from the air supply hole 6a of the air supply chamber 7 to the interior zone I and the perimeter zone P, and the perimeter zone P is also supplied.
The air further cooled by the heating / cooling device 29 is supplied from the air supply port 27 of the window counter 26. The air supply rate from the air supply port 27 is higher than the air supply rate from the air supply hole 6a. The hot air above the air supply window 16 is exhausted from the blind box 18. During the winter season, during heating, hot air or cold air is supplied to the interior zone I and the perimeter zone P from the air supply hole 6a of the air supply chamber 7, and the perimeter zone P is provided with the air further heated by the heating / cooling unit 29.

In (A), the heating / cooling device 29 is installed in the window counter 2
The radiant heat R is provided to the perimeter zone P so that the perimeter zone P is contacted with the indoor side. Since this example is a treatment of heat load by radiation, it is essentially compatible with this air conditioning system that does not stir the air flow, and in the case of heating, cold radiation of the window surface and cold draft can be effectively treated. . In FIG. 2 (B), the heating / cooling device 29 is arranged on the lower surface of the floor member 6 in the perimeter zone P so that the floor surface temperature rises as well as the temperature of the blown air to the perimeter zone P during heating. I am trying.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, air is supplied so as to seep out from the floor toward the ceiling at an extremely low wind speed, so that pollutants are completely discharged and indoors. Since it is possible to form a temperature stratification and a heating / cooling device for the perimeter zone is provided,
The clean and comfortable air conditioning environment can be expanded not only to the interior zone but also to the perimeter zone. Further, it has the following excellent effects.

By controlling the supply of air in the perimeter zone, it is possible to prevent dew condensation on the window surface in winter.

Since the temperature stratification is formed in the room, the required number of ventilations can be reduced, and as a result, the power of the air conditioner and the exhaust fan can be reduced and the size can be reduced.
In addition, the heat load on the device of the air conditioner can be reduced.

This can be detected immediately above the fire source, and early detection of a fire can be performed.

Since the supply air exudes into the room at an extremely low wind velocity, dust adhering to the floor does not fly up, and the ventilation of the carpet member facilitates cleaning, and periodic ventilation allows mites to be cleaned. It can suppress the reproduction of mold and mold.

Since the supply air exudes from the entire floor, OA
You can freely design the layout of equipment and furniture,
Even when the OA devices are ubiquitous, the supplied air autonomously flows toward the heating element, and it is possible to realize a flat air-conditioning environment.

Since it is not necessary to install ducts on the air supply side and the air discharge side, it is possible to supply air even if the height of the air supply chamber is low, that is, even with a low floor structure, thus reducing the construction cost. You can
