Description

The present invention is installed in a total heat exchanger that supplies fresh outside air to the room and discharges dirty air in the room in order to maintain a comfortable space in buildings, offices, stores, residences, etc. The present invention relates to total heat exchange element paper used for a total heat exchange element that exchanges sensible heat (temperature) and latent heat (humidity) at the same time.

In indoor air conditioning, as a ventilation method with excellent cooling and heating efficiency, exchange of humidity (latent heat) as well as temperature (sensible heat) between the air supply that supplies fresh outside air and the exhaust flow that discharges dirty air in the room. It is well known that total heat exchange can be performed at the same time.

In the total heat exchange element that performs total heat exchange, the supply airflow and the exhaust flow are formed in independent flow paths with the total heat exchange element paper sandwiched between them, and total heat exchange is performed between them. If the room is ventilated with a total heat exchanger equipped with a total heat exchange element, the cooling and heating efficiency can be greatly improved.

There are two types of total heat exchange elements, a orthogonal flow type and a countercurrent type, which are manufactured by processing total heat exchange element paper. Both are manufactured using a dedicated machine, but especially in the case of the countercurrent type, the process of attaching a resin frame to secure the flow path for passing indoor and outdoor air to the total heat exchange element paper is be. Generally, from the viewpoint of work efficiency, an injection molding machine is used to manufacture the resin frame. At this time, if the strength of the total heat exchange element paper is insufficient, the pressure of the injected resin causes the total heat exchange element paper. Is torn and does not function at all as a total heat exchange element.

In addition, since the conventional total heat exchange element paper uses a porous material, it also has air permeability of a dirty gas component such as carbon dioxide, and supplies air when exchanging total heat. And the exhaust are mixed inside the total heat exchange element, which has the disadvantage of reducing the efficiency of ventilation. This mixture of air supply and exhaust is a fatal defect for the total heat exchanger. In a total enthalpy heat exchanger in which air supply and exhaust are mixed, it may be evaluated that the air inside and outside the room is not exchanged while being recovered by energy, but simply agitating the dirty air in the room. In this way, if the indoor and outdoor air seems to be mixed, the purpose of ventilation cannot be achieved and the total heat exchanger cannot function at all.

For this reason, a total heat exchange element paper having excellent strength so as not to be torn when manufacturing a total heat exchange element and excellent shielding property so as not to mix air supply and exhaust is required. ing. In response to such demands, binders and melts are applied to the surface of a sheet base material of a non-woven fabric or woven cloth having a thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 mm and made of glass fibers, synthetic fibers or natural fibers having a fiber diameter of 0.3 to 50 μm. A sheet member (Patent Document 1) is disclosed in which an adhesive medium of fibers or adhesive powder is attached, and a thin layer of ultrafine fibers having a fiber diameter of 0.01 to 0.5 μm is layered on the adhesive medium and dried and fixed to be integrated. ing. However, although the strength of the sheet base material can be maintained, there is a problem in terms of economy, and no effect is observed in terms of shielding property.

Further, the fiber substrate is parchmenting, and a hygroscopic agent contained in said fiber substrate, and the moisture vapor permeable sheet moisture permeability is 1000 g / m 2 ^· 24 hr or more (Patent Document 2) discloses Has been done. However, there was room for improvement in the strength and shielding property of the fiber base material.

Further, there is disclosed a total heat exchange element paper (Patent Document 3) made of paper containing natural pulp beaten to 150 ml or less in a modified Canadian filtrate. However, although there is no problem with the shielding property, it is not possible to obtain sufficient strength of the total heat exchange element paper.

Further, it is made of a paper base material mainly composed of pulp, and the base paper for a total heat exchanger element contains 10 to 25% by mass of calcium chloride and has a hygroscopicity of 15 to 30% (patented). Document 4) is disclosed. However, there was room for improvement in order to achieve both strength and shielding properties.

Further, a total heat exchange element in which a base paper made of wood pulp in which 100 parts by mass of wood pulp is 40 parts by mass or more and the degree of beating at shopper freedom is 40 ° SR or more is impregnated with a hygroscopic agent and a flameproofing agent. a paper, with a moisture permeability by moisture permeability test according to JIS Z-0208 of該全heat exchange element sheets 6,000g ^{/ m} 2 · 24 hours or more, carbide by flame test according to JIS Z-2150 Total heat exchange element paper (patented) having a length of 10 cm or less, an air permeability according to a JIS P-8117 air permeability test of 500 seconds / 100 ml or more, and a carbon dioxide transfer rate of 1% or less. Document 5) is disclosed. However, there was room for improvement in achieving both strength and shielding properties with this paper.

Furthermore, improving the heat exchange performance of the total heat exchanger as a whole is important from the viewpoint of energy saving and cost reduction of the system, and it is also possible to improve the heat exchange performance of the total heat exchange element used in the total heat exchanger. , Equally important. On the other hand, a hygroscopic agent is applied, and the air permeability according to JIS P8117 is 0.13 μm / (Pa · S) or less, and the permeation under the conditions of 23 ° C. and 50% relative humidity according to JIS Z0208. humidity is not less 300 g ^/ m 2 · 24h or more, the ratio of machine direction orientation strength / lateral orientation strength of the sheet is 1.0 to 1.8, more preferably longitudinal orientation strength / lateral A total heat exchange element paper characterized in that the ratio of orientation strength is 1.0 to 1.5 has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 6). The total heat exchange element made of this total heat exchange element paper has good heat exchange performance, but it is more preferable that the heat exchange performance is further improved.

In addition, a binder is mixed with a fibrous material containing ceramic fibers as a main component, and a flat plate and a corrugated plate of the paper leaf-like material obtained by papermaking are alternately polymerized to polymerize heat exchange between the paper leaves. A total heat exchange element having a path formed has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 7). This total heat exchange element is good because the heat exchange effect performance is improved. be.

Further, it has a fiber base material mainly composed of cellulose fibers and a temperature control agent containing a latent heat storage component having a melting point of 10 to 35 ° C. dispersed in the fiber base material, and the content of the temperature control agent is transparent. A breathable sheet has been proposed, characterized in that it is 1.0 to 8.0% by mass and has a density of 0.5 to 1.5 g / cm ^{3 with respect to the total mass of the wet sheet (eg,).} Patent Document 8).

It is more preferable that there is an up.

<3> A total heat exchange element formed by using the total heat exchange element paper according to <1> or <2> above.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a total heat exchange element paper for a total heat exchanger having excellent strength and shielding properties. Further, it is possible to provide a total heat exchange element having improved heat exchange performance.

It is the schematic of the orthogonal flow type total heat exchange element. This is an example of a fiber length histogram of natural pulp having a maximum frequency peak between 0.5 and 1.5 mm and a peak between 0.0 and 0.5 mm in addition to the maximum frequency peak.

Hereinafter, the total heat exchange element paper of the present invention will be described in detail.

The total heat exchange element paper of the present invention comprises a base sheet containing natural pulp. The substrate sheet contains natural pulp having a length-weighted average fiber length of 0.7-1.7 mm, which is most frequently between 0.5-1.5 mm in the fiber length histogram. A total heat exchange element characterized in that the proportion of fibers having a peak and a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more is 25.0% or more, and the base sheet further contains a water-soluble sugar compound. It is a paper.

The base sheet in the present invention is preferably a sheet produced by a wet papermaking method using natural pulp as a raw material. As natural pulp, broad-leaved bleached kraft pulp (abbreviation: LBKP, English notation: Hardwood Bleached Kraft Pulp), coniferous bleached kraft pulp (abbreviation: NBKP, English notation: Softwood Bleached Craft Pulp), broad-leaved bleached kraft pulp , English notation: Hardwood Bleached Sulfite Pulp), coniferous bleached sulphite pulp (abbreviation: NBSP, English notation: Softwood Bleached Sulfite Pulp), broadleaf tree unbleached kraft pulp (abbreviation: LUKP It is preferable to use wood pulp fibers such as bleached kraft pulp (abbreviation: NUKP, English notation: Softwood Unbleached Craft Pulp) alone or in combination of two or more. As other fibers, the base sheet contains plant fibers such as cotton, cotton linter, hemp, bamboo, sugar cane, corn, and kenaf; animal fibers such as wool and silk; and regenerated cellulose fibers such as rayon, cupra, and lyocell. It can also be used in combination of two or more.

In the present invention, the length-weighted average fiber length of natural pulp is 0.7 to 1.7 mm. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the fiber length histogram of natural pulp, the proportion of fibers having a maximum frequency peak between 0.5 and 1.5 mm and having a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more is 25. It is 0% or more. Total heat exchange element In the process of producing a total heat exchange element from paper, the length-weighted average fiber length of natural pulp is 0.7 to 1.7 mm, and by entwining fibers of 1.0 mm or more, The strength of the total heat exchange element paper is increased, and the shielding property is also improved. The maximum frequency peak is more preferably between 0.7 and 1.2 mm. The proportion of fibers having a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more is more preferably 30.0% or more, and even more preferably 35.0% or more. The proportion of fibers having a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more is preferably 60.0% or less.

Further, in the total heat exchange element paper in which natural pulp has a peak (second peak) between 0.0 and 0.5 mm in addition to the maximum frequency peak in the fiber length histogram, finer fibers are inter-fibers. By closing the gap, the strength is maintained, it is difficult for air supply and exhaust to mix, and it has better shielding properties.

The fiber length and fiber length distribution histogram of the natural pulp of the present invention is based on JIS P8226: 2006 (polarization method) "Pulp-Fiber length measurement method by optical automatic analysis method", OpTest Equipment Inc. The measurement was performed using a fiber quality analyzer manufactured by Canada.

The "fiber length", "average fiber length" and "fiber length distribution" in the present invention are "length-weighted fiber length", "length-weighted average fiber length" and "length-weighted" measured and calculated according to the above. It means "fiber length distribution". Further, the "ratio of fibers having a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more" means the "ratio of fibers having a fiber length of 1.0 mm or more", and in the "length-weighted fiber length distribution" measured and calculated according to the above. It means the numerical value obtained from the "ratio of fibers of 1.0 mm or more".

Natural pulp is a beater, PFI mill, single disc refiner (SDR), double disc refiner (DDR), ball mill, dyno mill, grinder, rotary blade homogenizer that applies shearing force by high speed rotary blade, cylindrical shape that rotates at high speed. A double-cylindrical high-speed homogenizer that produces shearing force between the inner and outer blades of the It is applied to a high-pressure homogenizer or the like that applies shearing force and cutting force to the fiber by giving it to pass through a small-diameter orifice to increase the speed, and by colliding this to make it suddenly decelerate, and it is prepared to the above-mentioned desired fiber length distribution and the like. NS. Of these, the refiner is particularly preferable. By adjusting these beating, the type of dispersion equipment, and the processing conditions (fiber concentration, temperature, pressure, rotation speed, shape of the refiner blade, gap between the refiner plates, number of treatments), the fiber length distribution of the target natural pulp, etc. Can be achieved.

The base sheet is provided with, for example, heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc, clay, titanium dioxide, aluminum hydroxide, silica, alumina, and organic pigments in order to obtain the required density, smoothness, and moisturizing properties. Various fillers such as, adhesives, sizing agents, fixing agents, yield agents, and various compounding agents such as paper strength enhancers can be appropriately contained.

Examples of the method for producing the base sheet include a wet paper making method in which natural pulp is formed into a sheet using a general long net paper machine, a circular net paper machine, or the like.

The base sheet may be surface-sized with a size press, roll coater, or the like installed in a paper machine in order to obtain the required density, smoothness, air permeability, and strength. As a component of the surface size press liquid, various synthetic binders such as polyvinyl alcohol can be appropriately used.

The substrate sheet may be calendared to obtain the required density, smoothness, air permeability and strength. As the calendar device, a device having one or more combination rolls selected from the group consisting of hard rolls, elastic rolls, and a combination of hard rolls and elastic rolls is preferably used. Specifically, a machine calendar, a soft nip calendar, a super calendar, a multi-stage calendar, a multi-nip calendar, or the like can be used.

In the total heat exchange element paper of the present invention, the base sheet contains a water-soluble sugar compound. By containing a water-soluble sugar compound, the heat exchange performance of the total heat exchange element can be improved.

The water-soluble sugar compound in the present invention is a sugar compound that dissolves 5 g or more in 100 g of water at 20 ° C. Examples of the water-soluble sugar compound include monosaccharides such as glucose, mannose, fructose, and galactose; disaccharides such as maltose, sucrose, and galactose; and polysaccharides such as soluble starch, dextrin, arabic gum, and pullulan. Glucose, sucrose and the like, which are inexpensive and highly water-soluble sugar compounds, are more preferable.

When the base sheet contains a water-soluble sugar compound, the moisture absorbed on the surface of the total heat exchange element paper via the hydroxyl groups contained in the water-soluble sugar compound promotes the movement of the moisture in the thickness direction of the paper. It is presumed that this will improve the heat exchange performance of the total heat exchange element. On the other hand, a sugar compound that is not water-soluble can be supported and contained in the base sheet, but in this case, the sugar compound is mainly present only in the surface layer of the base sheet. Therefore, as compared with the base sheet containing the water-soluble sugar compound, the movement of moisture absorbed on the surface of the total heat exchange element paper via the hydroxyl group contained in the sugar compound in the thickness direction of the paper is larger. It is presumed that it will not be promoted very much.

In the total heat exchange element sheets of the present invention, the content of the water-soluble saccharide compound is preferably from 0.3 to 10 / ^{m 2,} and more preferably 0.5 to 5 g / ^{m 2.} If the content is ^{less than 0.3 g / m 2} , the desired effect of improving heat exchange performance may not be obtained, while if the content exceeds 10 g / m ² , the effect will level off and will not be achieved. It is an economy.

A flame retardant can be attached to the total heat exchange element paper for the purpose of imparting flame retardancy. Examples of the flame retardant include an inorganic flame retardant, an inorganic phosphorus compound, a nitrogen-containing compound, a chlorine compound, and a bromine compound. For example, a mixture of borosand and boric acid, aluminum hydroxide, antimony trioxide, ammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium sulfamate, guanidine sulfamate, guanidine phosphate, phosphate amide, chlorinated polyolefin, ammonium bromide, Examples thereof include a flame retardant that can be dispersed in an aqueous solution such as a non-ether type polybromocyclic compound or water. As for the level of flame retardancy, it is preferable that the carbonization length measured by JIS A 1322: 1966 is less than 10 cm. The content of the flame retardant is not particularly limited, depending on the flame retardant to be used is ^{preferably 5g / m 2 ~10g / m 2} . More than 10 g / m ² may be attached, but the effect will level off.

The total heat exchange element paper may contain an antifungal agent for the purpose of imparting antifungal properties. As the fungicide, those commercially available as fungicides can be generally used. For example, organic nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds, organic acid esters, organic iodine imidazole compounds, benzazole compounds and the like can be mentioned. As the level of antifungal property, it is preferable that the growth of hyphae measured by JIS Z 2911: 2010 is not observed. The content of antifungal agent is preferably ^{0.5g / m 2 ~5g / m 2} . More than 5 g / m ² may be attached, but the effect will level off.

The total heat exchange element paper may contain a hygroscopic agent for the purpose of improving the humidity exchange efficiency. Examples of the hygroscopic agent include inorganic acid salts, organic acid salts, inorganic fillers, polyhydric alcohols, ureas, and moisture-absorbing (water-absorbing) polymers. For example, the inorganic acid salt includes lithium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and the like. Examples of the organic acid salt include sodium lactate, calcium lactate, sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate and the like. Examples of the inorganic filler include aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, aluminum silicate, magnesium silicate, talc, clay, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, sepiolite, silica gel, and activated charcoal. Examples of the polyhydric alcohol include glycerin, ethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and polyglycerin. Examples of ureas include urea and hydroxyethyl urea. Examples of the moisture-absorbing (water-absorbing) polymer include polyaspartic acid, polyacrylic acid, polyglutamic acid, polylysine, alginic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose and salts or cross-linked products thereof, hyaluronic acid and its cross-linked product, polyethylene glycol, and the like. Polypropylene glycol, collagen, acrylic nitrile polymer saponified product, vinyl acetate / acrylate copolymer saponified product, acrylate / acrylamide copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol / maleic anhydride copolymer, polyethylene oxide type, isobutylene- There are maleic anhydride copolymers and the like. The hygroscopic agent is used by selecting the type and the amount of adhesion according to the target moisture permeability. From the viewpoint of cost and moisture permeability, it is preferable to use one or more hygroscopic agents selected from the group of calcium chloride, lithium chloride and magnesium chloride. A particularly preferred hygroscopic agent is calcium chloride. Calcium chloride may be used in combination with other hygroscopic agents.

The amount of the hygroscopic agent attached is not particularly limited. Depending on the type of desiccant to be used, JIS Z 0208: using the evaluation method 1976, 23 ° C., the moisture permeability measured at 50% relative humidity is not less 300g ^/ m 2 · 24h or more preferable. Within this range, a total heat exchange element having excellent wet heat exchange performance can be obtained. The adhesion amount of the moisture absorbent, depending on the type of desiccant to be used, sometimes level off heat and moisture exchanging performance from some adhesion amount is preferably ^{3g / m 2 ~15g / m 2} , more preferably ^{4g / m 2 ~10g / m 2} . Preferably ^{300g / m 2 · 24h~1500g / m} 2 · 24h as moisture ^{permeability,} the range of ^{400g / m 2 · 24h~1000g / m} 2 · 24h , more preferred.

As a method for containing a chemical such as a water-soluble sugar compound, a flame retardant, a fungicide, and a hygroscopic agent in the total heat exchange element paper, it is particularly suitable as long as the chemical can be contained in the base sheet as uniformly as possible. There is no limit. Natural pulp and chemicals can be mixed to produce a base sheet, or a solution or dispersion containing the chemicals can be applied to the sheet containing natural pulp by a method such as coating, impregnation or spraying to provide a solvent. And a method of removing the dispersion medium by a method such as drying and incorporating the drug into the base sheet is exemplified.

Binders can also be used when containing the drug. The binder is not particularly limited, but for example, polyvinyl alcohol-based, (meth) acrylic acid resin-based, aromatic vinyl compound resin-based, styrene-butadiene rubber-based, vinyl acetate resin-based, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin-based, Examples thereof include binders such as silicon resin-based and fluorine-based resins. Of these, a water-soluble binder is particularly preferable.

The total heat exchange element paper is not particularly limited in terms of basis weight, thickness, density, etc., but from the viewpoint of heat exchange performance, it is preferable that the basis weight is low, the thickness is thin, and the density is high. The basis weight is preferably from 20 to 80 g / ^{m 2,} more preferably 30 to 60 g / ^{m 2,} more preferably 40 to 50 g / ^{m 2.} The thickness is preferably 20 to 80 μm, more preferably 30 to 60 μm, and even more preferably 40 to 50 μm.

1: Bad 2: Somewhat bad 3: Equivalent 4: Somewhat good 5: Good

From the evaluation results in Table 1, the average fiber length is 0.7 to 1.7 mm, and in the fiber length histogram, the maximum frequency peak is between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, and the fibers of 1.0 mm or more have a maximum frequency peak. Total heat exchange element paper containing a base sheet containing natural pulp having a ratio of 25.0% or more, a water-soluble sugar compound, and total heat exchange formed by using the total heat exchange element paper. It can be seen that the element is excellent in strength, shielding property and heat exchange performance.

From Comparative Examples 3, 4, 7 and 8, it can be seen that when the proportion of fibers of 1.0 mm or more is less than 25.0%, the strength cannot be obtained. Further, from Comparative Examples 5, 6, 9 to 11, when the average fiber length is larger than 1.7 mm and / or when the fiber length of the maximum frequency peak is not in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm, the shielding property It turns out that is not obtained.

Examples 1-6, the content of the water-soluble saccharide compound is preferably 0.3 to 10 / ^{m 2,} it is understood that more preferably 0.5 to 5 g / ^{m 2.}

Further, from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, Example 1 in which the total heat exchange element paper contains a water-soluble sugar compound contains corn starch, which is a water-insoluble sugar compound, in the total heat exchange paper. It can be seen that the heat exchange performance of the total heat exchange element is higher than that of Comparative Example 2.

Further, comparing Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, the former of each set does not contain a water-soluble sugar compound, and the latter is water-insoluble.
