<Features>
(1)
In the air conditioner 100, the temperature-adjusted air is sent from the outlet 31 to the internal space IS of the radiant panel 1. Since the radiation panel 1 is formed of a material having a predetermined radiation rate, radiation is generated from the surface of the radiation panel 1 when the temperature of the radiation panel 1 is adjusted by the temperature-adjusted air. Moreover, since the raw material which forms the radiation panel 1 is a fiber-type material, when the pressure of the interior space IS becomes larger than the pressure of the room RS, the air whose temperature is adjusted from the gap between the fibers of the radiation panel 1 enters the room RS. Blown out. Thereby, the temperature adjustment of room | chamber RS can be performed by combined use of radiation and blowing, and the temperature adjustment of room | chamber RS can be performed by gentle air blowing rather than the case where temperature adjustment is performed only by blowing. Moreover, since the air blown out from the radiation panel 1 is blown out through the gaps between the fibers, it becomes a gentle air flow. For this reason, the temperature of the indoor RS can be adjusted with little draft feeling, and the temperature can be adjusted comfortably for the occupant of the indoor RS.

(2)
In the air conditioner 100 as described above, it is desirable that the radiant panel 1 has a relatively large area in order to adjust the temperature of the room RS with less draft feeling. When the radiation panel 1 is large in plan, it is difficult to sufficiently fill the inside with air. For example, when a blower outlet is attached to one end of the radiant panel 1 and the temperature-adjusted air is sent from one end of the radiant panel 1 to the inside, the air sufficiently reaches the other end. Is difficult. Further, if the air flow rate is increased in order to allow the air to sufficiently reach the other end, a negative pressure is generated in the vicinity of the air outlet 31, and the air in the room RS may be sucked into the radiation panel 1. is there.

However, in the air conditioner 100, as described above, the air outlet 31 is provided in the vicinity of the center of the radiation panel 1, so that the temperature-adjusted air flows from the center portion of the radiation panel 1 to the inside of the radiation panel 1. Sent. Thereby, the temperature-adjusted air can easily reach the end of the radiation panel 1.
(3)
In the air conditioner 100, the support frame 6 is fixed to the gap blockage panel 5, and the gap blockage panel 5 is fixed to the ceiling surface CL. Since the gap closing panel CL has a plate shape and is provided with many screw holes, the gap closing panel 5 can be easily fixed to the ceiling surface CL. That is, in a state where the gap blockage panel 5 is aligned with the ceiling surface CL, a screw is passed through a screw hole that coincides with the position of the base material 82 to fix the gap blockage panel 5 and the ceiling surface CL. Thereby, the gap blockage panel 5 can be easily fixed to the base material 82. Thus, in this air conditioner 100, the gap blockage panel 5 and the support frame 6 can be easily installed. Further, since the gap closing panel 5 is fixed to the base material 82, it can be firmly fixed.

(4)
In this air conditioner 100, the size of the radiation panel 1 is selected according to the size of the room and the necessary temperature adjustment capability, and the gap member 5 is configured according to the size of the selected radiation panel 1. Whether or not 52 and 53 are added can be determined. Further, it is possible to select the frame portion 63-66 that closes the end portion of the panel member 52, 53 according to the selected panel member 52, 53. Thereby, the radiation panel 1 of a different magnitude | size can be installed easily.

(5)
In this air conditioner 100, the direction of the radiation panel 1 can also be freely selected. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the first panel member 52 is attached, the first panel member 52 is attached in a direction different from that in FIG. For example, in Fig.9 (a), the 1st panel member 52 is attached in the direction 90 degree different from the 1st panel member 52 of Fig.4 (a). And as shown in FIG.9 (b), the 2nd panel member 53 and the 3rd panel member 54 are added and it combines with the 1st panel member 52, and the gap | interval obstruction | occlusion panel 5 is the direction different from the installation method 1. It is attached. Thereby, the radiation panel 1 can be installed in a different direction from the installation method 1. Other processes shown in FIGS. 9C to 9E are the same as those shown in FIGS. 4C to 4E.

In addition, since the 1st panel member 52 is square, it does not change the attachment direction of the 1st panel member 52, but also by changing the attachment position of the 1st frame part 61 and the 2nd frame part 62, the above-mentioned. Similarly, the gap blockage panel 5 can be attached in a direction different from the installation method 1.
(6)
In this air conditioner 100, the opening provided in the ceiling surface CL as the blowout chamber opening 32 may be relatively small, so that the construction work is simple. That is, when an opening having the same size as the radiation panel 1 is provided in the ceiling surface CL in order to attach the radiation panel 1 to the ceiling surface CL, it is necessary to make a large opening in the ceiling surface CL, so that the construction work becomes difficult. However, in this air conditioner 100, since the blow chamber opening 32 is relatively small, the construction of the blow chamber opening is easy.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the support frame 6 and the gap blockage panel 5 are separate, and the support frame 6 is fixed to the gap blockage panel 5 when the air conditioner 100 is installed. The part may be formed integrally with the gap closing panel 5.
For example, the first frame portion 61 and the second frame portion 62 are integrally formed with the first panel member 52 in advance. In this case, the first frame portion 61, the second frame portion 62, and the first panel member 52 may be integrally molded, and the first frame portion 61 and the second frame portion 62 are the first panel member 52. It may be fixed in advance by screwing, bonding, welding or the like.

The same applies to the second panel member 53 and the third frame portion 63, and the third panel member 54 and the fourth frame portion 64.
In this case, in the installation method 1 and the installation method 2 described above, the steps of fixing the first frame portion 61, fixing the second frame portion 62, fixing the third frame portion 63, and fixing the fourth frame portion 64 are omitted. Thus, the installation process can be simplified.

<Other embodiments>
(1)
In the above embodiment, the support frame 6 is made of resin, but may be made of sheet metal. However, it is more desirable that it is made of resin from the viewpoint of weight reduction.
(2)
In said embodiment, although the radiation rate of the fiber type material which forms the radiation panel 1 is 0.9, what is necessary is just the radiation rate of 0.6 or more. However, from the viewpoint of improving the temperature adjustment by radiation, it is more desirable that it is 0.9 or more.

(3)
Another panel member may be added in addition to the second panel member 53 and the third panel member 54.
(4)
In the above embodiment, the blowout chamber 3 is attached to the lower surface of the temperature adjustment unit 2. However, the temperature adjustment unit 2 is provided at a position away from the blowout chamber 3, and the blowout chamber 3 and the temperature adjustment unit 2 are connected to the duct. May be connected by. Thereby, the temperature-adjusted air blown out from the temperature adjustment unit 2 is sent to the blow-out chamber 3 through the duct and blown out from the blow-out port 31.

(5)
In the above embodiment, the gap closing panel 5 is fixed to the ceiling surface CL with a screw, but may be fixed by other fixing means such as a nail, a bolt and a nut.
(6)
In the above embodiment, the blowout chamber opening 32 is square, but may be other shapes such as a rectangle or a circle.
