Description
図1は、本開示の一実施形態に係る空気調和装置1の概略構成を示す図である。図1に示すように、本実施形態に係る空気調和装置1は、室外機3と、室内機11とを主な構成として備えている。本実施形態では、図1に示すように、1台の室外機3に対して1台の室内機11が接続される場合について説明するが、室内機11の台数については上記構成に限定されない。
図2には、本実施形態に係る空気調和装置1の冷媒回路図が示されている。空気調和装置1は、室外機3と、室内機11とを備えている。なお、図2に示す冷媒回路は一例であり、冷媒回路であれば図2に示す構成に限定されない。
室外機3には、室外熱交換器19に対して外気を送風する室外ファン41が設けられている。
圧縮機13で圧縮された高温高圧の冷媒ガスは、吐出配管37Aに吐出され、マフラ12を介して四方切換弁17に供給される。
その後、冷媒ガスは、四方切換弁17によりガス配管37B側に循環され、室外熱交換器19で室外ファン41により送風される外気と熱交換されて凝縮液化される。
この液冷媒は、液配管37Cを介してレシーバ26にいったん貯留される。
この液冷媒は、ストレーナ14及び液側操作弁35を経て室外機3から導出され、室内機11へ供給される。
アキュムレータ31では、冷媒ガス中に含まれている液分が分離され、ガス分のみが圧縮機13へと吸入される。
この冷媒は、圧縮機13において再び圧縮され、以上のサイクルを繰り返すことによって冷房運転が行われる。
圧縮機13により圧縮された高温高圧の冷媒ガスは、吐出配管37Aに吐出され、マフラ12を介して四方切換弁17に供給された後、四方切換弁17によりガス側配管5側に循環される。
この冷媒は、ガス側操作弁33を経て室外機3から導出され、室内機11へと導入される。
室内熱交換器47で凝縮された液冷媒は、室外機3に戻される。
この液冷媒は、液配管37Cを介して室外熱交換器19へと流入される。
この冷媒は、室外熱交換器19からガス配管37B、四方切換弁17、吸入配管37Eを経てアキュムレータ31に導入される。アキュムレータ31では、冷媒ガス中に含まれている液分が分離されてガス分のみが圧縮機13へと吸入され、圧縮機13において再び圧縮される。以上のサイクルを繰り返すことによって暖房運転が行われる。
制御装置20は、空気調和装置1の制御を行う。制御装置20では、空調対象である室内の快適性を評価する。そして、快適性の評価結果に基づいて、快適性改善制御を行う。
空調対象である室内においては、空間内において部分的(局所的)に二酸化炭素濃度が高くなってしまう可能性がある。特に、ユーザの周囲領域に二酸化炭素濃度が高くなっている場合には、ユーザは不快と感じやすい。このため、制御部24では、快適性の評価結果が不快と判定された場合に、空調風量を強くして、室内の空気の流れを促し、二酸化炭素を攪拌して、部分的に二酸化炭素濃度が高くなってしまうことを抑制する。なお、空調風量については、例えば室内ファン51の回転数を増加させ、室内に送風される空気量を増加させる。
図5に示すように、二酸化炭素濃度に対して温度を低下させることによって、ユーザは快適性を感じる傾向にある。このため、制御部24では、快適性の評価結果が不快と判定された場合に、目標温度を低下させ、室内温度が低下するよう制御する。なお、空気調和装置1においては、設定された目標温度に追従するように制御が行われる。
図5に示すように、二酸化炭素濃度に対して湿度を低下させることによって、ユーザは快適性を感じる傾向にある。このため、制御部24では、快適性の評価結果が不快と判定された場合に、目標湿度を低下させ、室内湿度が低下するよう制御する。なお、空気調和装置1においては、設定された目標湿度に追従するように制御が行われる。
