The second function water generator supplies the second function water storage tank, and a substantially constant amount of the second function water is second. Since the water is always stored in the water storage tank, the functional water is not exhausted in each functional water storage tank, and the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) or weak due to the depletion of the first functional water or the second functional water. Inability to perform sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation) can be prevented. The air conditioning system and the air conditioning method can reliably sterilize the humidifying mechanism using the first functional water or the second functional water when the humidifying mechanism of the air conditioner is required, and the humidifying mechanism can be kept clean. Since it can be used, bacteria and bad odors are not mixed into the air-conditioned air from the humidifying mechanism, and clean air-conditioned air that has been humidified and has moderate humidity or clean air that has moderate humidity without being humidified can be used. It can be supplied to the air conditioning room.

  The air conditioner has a drain pan that collects waste water generated therein, and supplies the first functional water stored in the first functional water storage tank to the drain pan from the first functional water supply line in the strong sterilization operation. Air-conditioning system for sterilizing germs generated in the drain pan by sterilizing the germs generated in the drain pan and supplying the second functional water stored in the second functional water storage tank from the second functional water supply line to the drain pan in the weak sterilization operation In the air conditioning method, when the drain pan of the air conditioner needs to be sterilized, the drain pan can be sterilized using the first functional water or the second functional water, and the drain pan can be used in a clean state. Since the air conditioning system and the air conditioning method can use not only the humidifying mechanism but also the drain pan in a clean state, the conditioned air from the drain pan is not mixed with germs and odors, and is clean and has a moderate humidity. Clean air-conditioned air having an appropriate humidity can be supplied to the air-conditioned room without being humidified or humidified. The air conditioning system and the air conditioning method have a strong sterilizing effect on drain pans in which a large amount of bacteria are generated by supplying first functional water or second functional water having different sterilizing effects (sterilizing effects) from each functional water supply line. While being able to sterilize by 1 function water, the drain pan with few generation | occurrence | production of bacteria can be sterilized by the 2nd function water which has a weak sterilization effect. Although depending on the chemical resistance of the drain pan, if the first functional water having a strong bactericidal effect is used at all times, the drain pan may be damaged by the antibacterial action, but the second functional water having a weak bactericidal effect is used appropriately. By doing so, the pain of the drain pan can be prevented.

And the drain pan can be used in a clean state, so that bacteria and odors are not mixed into the air-conditioned air from the humidifying mechanism or the drain pan. Clean air-conditioned air having a proper humidity can be supplied to the air-conditioned room. The air conditioning system and the air conditioning method frequently cause the functional water supply line and the humidification mechanism (including the drain pan) to hurt due to the antibacterial action of the first functional water when the first functional water having a strong sterilizing effect is used frequently. A predetermined period from the execution of the 1 air conditioning operation or the second air conditioning operation (the first air conditioning operation or the second air conditioning operation) to the execution of the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) is the first air conditioning operation or the second air conditioning operation ( Since it is longer than the predetermined period from the execution of the first air conditioning operation or the second air conditioning operation) to the execution of the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) is frequently performed. The pain of the functional water supply line and the humidifying mechanism (including the drain pan) can be prevented by appropriately using the second functional water having a weak sterilizing effect.

The air conditioning system and the air conditioning method not only can humidify the conditioned air using humidified water and supply the conditioned air with appropriate humidity to each air conditioning room, but also need to sterilize the humidifying mechanism of these air conditioners. In such a case, each humidification mechanism can be sterilized simultaneously or individually using the first function water or the second function water, and each humidification mechanism can be used in a clean state. Since the air conditioning system and the air conditioning method can use these humidifying mechanisms in a clean state, the air conditioning air from each humidifying mechanism is not mixed with bacteria and bad odors, and the air conditioning system is clean and has an appropriate humidity. Clean air-conditioned air having an appropriate humidity can be supplied to each air-conditioned room without being humidified. The air conditioning system and the air conditioning method include each humidification mechanism (including each drain pan) in which a large amount of bacteria are generated by supplying first function water or second function water having different sterilization effects (sterilization effects) from each function water supply line. ) Can be sterilized with the first functional water having a strong sterilizing effect, and each humidifying mechanism (including each drain pan) with less generation of bacteria can be sterilized with the second functional water having a weak sterilizing effect.

  Based on FIG. 7, the first air conditioning operation (first air conditioning operation) in the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method) will be described as follows. In addition, the same time (period) as the system 10A of FIG. 1 shall be set as the stop time (stop period) and operation time (operation period) of the 1st and 2nd water pumps 36 and 42. Further, it is assumed that the first functional water is stored in the first functional water storage tank 35 and the second functional water is stored in the second functional water storage tank 41.

  When the measured humidity measured by each of the humidity sensors 17A and 17B has not reached the set humidity when the first and second water pumps 36 and 42 are at a stop time, the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method) 1 air-conditioning operation (1st air-conditioning operation) is implemented.

  In the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), the humidifying element 22 is sterilized with the second functional water, and the drain pan 24 is sterilized with the second functional water. When the measured water level transmitted from the second water level sensor 45 is less than the set water level, the control unit of the second functional water generating device 40 generates the second functional water and generates the generated second functional water as the second functional water. The water is supplied to the water storage tank 41, and the amount of water stored in the second function water in the second function water storage tank 41 is recovered to the set water level.

  When 30 minutes have passed since the operation of the second water pump 42 and the operation time of the second water pump 42 has elapsed, the controller 16 determines that the second water pump 42 is at a stop time, and the second water pump The stop command is transmitted to 42, the power supply of the pump 42 is turned off, and the pump 42 holds the stopped state. The controller 16 transmits an opening command to the first humidifying water electromagnetic valve 30, and the first humidifying water electromagnetic valve 30 opens the valve mechanism. Further, the controller 16 transmits a closing command to the switching first and second electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B, and the electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B close the valve mechanism.

Or the controller 16 may perform a second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is continued.

  In the first sterilization operation (first sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is stopped in the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), air conditioning is performed from the air conditioners 12A and 12B to the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B. The supply of air is stopped, the second functional water remains in the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24, and the conditioned air containing the component of the second functional water is not supplied to the air conditioned rooms 11A and 11B. By stopping the operation of the air conditioners 12A and 12B in the first sterilization operation (first sterilization operation) in the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), the second function water can be retained in the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24, Even if bacteria are generated (bred) in the humidifying element 22 or the drain pan 24, the humidifying element 22 or the drain pan 24 can be surely sterilized using the second functional water. Moreover, the air-conditioning air containing the component of 2nd function water is not supplied to air-conditioning room 11A, 11B, and the filling of air-conditioning room 11A, 11B with the odor of 2nd function water can be prevented.

  In the second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is continued in the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), air conditioning is performed from the air conditioners 12A and 12B to the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B. Air is continuously supplied, and conditioned air containing the component of the second functional water is supplied to the air conditioned rooms 11A and 11B. By operating the air conditioners 12A and 12B in the second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in the weak sterilization operation (weak sterilization operation), the conditioned air containing the component of the second functional water is supplied to the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B. Since the air in the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B is sterilized by the sterilization action (sterilization effect) of the second functional water, not only the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24 can be sterilized but also the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B are sterilized. can do.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) in the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method). An example of the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) in the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method) will be described based on FIG. The controller 16 determines whether it is in the stop time (stop period) of the first and second water pumps 36 and 42. One month has passed since the first air-conditioning operation (first air-conditioning operation) or the second air-conditioning operation (second air-conditioning operation) was performed. When it is not in the stop time of 1 water supply pump 36 (it is in operation time), in air-conditioning system 10B (air-conditioning method), strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) by the 1st functional water supply line 14 is carried out.

  In the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), the controller 16 transmits a close command to the first humidified water electromagnetic valve 30, and the first humidified water electromagnetic valve 30 closes the valve mechanism. Thereby, the supply of the humidified water from the humidified water supply line 13 is stopped. In the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), the controller 16 determines that the operation time of the first water pump 36 is in operation, transmits an operation command to the first water pump 36, the pump 36 is turned on, and the pump 36 is turned on. Operate. Further, the controller 16 determines that the second water pump 42 is in a stop time, transmits a stop command to the second water pump 42, the pump 42 remains off, and the pump 42 remains stopped. Further, the controller 16 transmits an opening command to the switching first and second electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B, and the electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B open the valve mechanism.

  When the first water pump 36 is operated and the valve mechanisms of the electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B are opened, the first functional water stored in the first functional water storage tank 35 is stored in the tank as shown by an arrow L4 in FIG. 35 is supplied from the upper end 27 of the humidifying element 22 to the entire area of the element 22 through the functional water first supply pipe 38. Further, the first functional water is supplied to the drain pan 24 through the supply pipe 52. In the humidifying element 22, the first functional water is retained and the excess is drained to the drain pan 24.

  In the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), the humidifying element 22 is sterilized with the first functional water, and the drain pan 24 is sterilized with the first functional water. When the actually measured water level transmitted from the first water level sensor 39 is less than the set water level, the control unit of the first functional water generating device 34 generates the first functional water and generates the generated first functional water as the first functional water. The water is supplied to the water storage tank 35, and the amount of water stored in the first function water in the first function water storage tank 35 is recovered to the set water level.

  When 30 minutes have elapsed since the operation of the first water pump 36 and the operation time of the first water pump 36 has elapsed, the controller 16 determines that the first water pump 36 is at a stop time, and the first water pump 36 A stop command is transmitted to 36, the power supply of the pump 36 is turned off, and the pump 36 holds the stopped state. Further, the controller 16 transmits an opening command to the first humidified water electromagnetic valve 30, and the first humidified water electromagnetic valve 30 opens the valve mechanism. Further, the controller 16 transmits a closing command to the switching first and second electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B, and the electromagnetic valves 47A and 47B close the valve mechanism. Thirty minutes have passed since the first water pump 36 was operated, and either the first air conditioning operation (first air conditioning operation) or the second air conditioning operation (second air conditioning operation) is performed immediately after the pump 36 stops. . In the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation) of FIG. 9, the first sterilization operation (first sterilization operation) in which the controller 16 stops the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is performed as in FIG. Or the controller 16 may perform a second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is continued.

  In the first sterilization operation (first sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is stopped in the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), air conditioning is performed from the air conditioners 12A and 12B to the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B. The supply of air is stopped, the first functional water stays in the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24, and the conditioned air containing the component of the first functional water is not supplied to the air conditioned rooms 11A and 11B. By stopping the operation of the air conditioners 12A and 12B in the first sterilization operation (first sterilization operation) in the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24 retain the first functional water having a strong sterilizing action. Even if bacteria are generated (propagated) in the humidifying element 22 or the drain pan 24, the humidifying element 22 or the drain pan 24 can be reliably sterilized using the first functional water. Moreover, the air-conditioning air containing the component of the 1st function water is not supplied to the air-conditioning room 11, and the odor of the 1st function water can be prevented from being filled in the air-conditioning rooms 11A and 11B.

  In the second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in which the operation of the first and second air conditioners 12A and 12B is continued in the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), air conditioning from the air conditioners 12A and 12B to the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B. Air is continuously supplied, and conditioned air containing the component of the first functional water is supplied to the air conditioned rooms 11A and 11B. By operating the air conditioners 12A and 12B in the second sterilization operation (second sterilization operation) in the strong sterilization operation (strong sterilization operation), the conditioned air containing the component of the first functional water having a strong sterilization effect is supplied to the air conditioning room 11A. 11B and the air in the air conditioning chambers 11A and 11B is sterilized by the sterilization action (sterilization effect) of the first functional water, so that the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24 can be sterilized, and the air conditioning chamber 11A 11B can also be sterilized.

  In the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method), when the humidity measured by the humidity sensors 17A and 17B does not reach the set humidity, each humidifying element 22 humidifies the conditioned air produced by the air conditioners 12A and 12B. When the operation (first air-conditioning operation) is performed and the humidity measured by the humidity sensors 17A and 17B reaches the set humidity, the air-conditioned rooms 11A are not humidified without humidifying the air-conditioned air produced by the air-conditioners 12A and 12B. Since the second air conditioning operation (second air conditioning operation) to be supplied to 11B is performed, conditioned air having an appropriate humidity can be supplied from each air conditioner 12A, 12B to each air conditioned room 11A, 11B. When sterilizing bacteria that have grown (bred) in the element 22 or the drain pan 24, the first air conditioning operation (first air conditioning operation) or the second air conditioning operation (second air conditioning operation) is stopped. Since implementing the sterilization operation (sterilization operation) to sterilize the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24 Te, their humidifier element 22 and their drain pan 24 it can be a clean state.

  The air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method) humidifies the conditioned air using humidified water and can supply the conditioned air having appropriate humidity to each of the air conditioned rooms 11A and 11B. When the 12B humidifying element 22 or drain pan 24 needs to be sterilized, each humidifying element 22 or drain pan 24 can be sterilized using functional water, and each humidifying element 22 or drain pan 24 is used in a clean state. Can do. Since the air conditioning system 10B (air conditioning method) can use the humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24 in a clean state, the air and the odor are not mixed into the conditioned air from each humidifying element 22 and the drain pan 24, and the humidification is performed. Thus, clean air-conditioned air having an appropriate humidity and clean air-conditioned air having an appropriate humidity without being humidified can be supplied to the air-conditioning rooms 11A and 11B.
