Hereinafter, the entire building humidification and air conditioning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12.

1 and 2 show a schematic configuration of the entire building humidification and air conditioning system 100, and FIGS. 3 to 5 show an actual building H equipped with the entire building humidification and air conditioning system 100, but have a common structure and common. Some members having a function are designated by the same reference numerals and explanations are omitted. Further, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the meshed areas represent the descending ceilings 11c and 12c. The whole building humidifying air conditioning system 100 shows an example of the whole building humidifying air conditioning system according to the present invention, and the whole building humidifying air conditioning system according to the present invention is not limited to the whole building humidifying air conditioning system 100.

The whole building humidifying air conditioning system 100 has air conditioners 10 and 20 arranged on the descending ceilings 11c and 12c of the building H, a function of sucking in the air inside the building H and discharging it to the outside of the building H, and sucking in the air outside the building H. A ventilation device 30 having a function of supplying to the air conditioners 10 and 20, and each room R11, R12, R21, R22 in the building H to supply the air-conditioned air supplied from the air conditioners 10 and 20 into the building H. It is arranged in the air supply port (line type outlet 14, 14, 14, 14) provided in the building H, the rooms R11 and R12 existing on the first floor in the building H, and the room R21 and the common part 12 existing on the second floor. It is equipped with a humidifier 50. The humidifier 50 has a humidifying function of supplying water vapor to the rooms R11 and R12 on the first floor, the rooms R21 on the second floor, and the common area 12, respectively. An outdoor unit 21 is arranged outside the building H.

As will be described later, in the whole building humidification air conditioning system 100, the entire building H is air-conditioned (whole building air conditioning) by operating the humidifier 50 while operating the air conditioners 10, 20, the ventilation device 30, and the outdoor unit 21. While doing this, the entire interior of the building H can be evenly humidified. That is, by operating the air conditioners 10 and 20, the ventilation device 30, and the outdoor unit 21, air conditioning is performed by the air-conditioned air flowing in the entire building H (entire building air conditioning), and the water vapor supplied from the humidifier 50 is air-conditioned. Since the entire interior of the building H flows together with the air, the entire interior of the building H can be evenly humidified.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the humidifiers 50 are arranged in the rooms R11 and R12 existing on the first floor in the building H and the rooms R21 and the common area 12 existing on the second floor, respectively. It is an example of a place where it can be placed, and it is not necessary to place the humidifier 50 in all the places shown in FIG. That is, if the humidifier 50 is arranged in one of a plurality of rooms existing on each floor in the building H or in a common area (if one humidifier 50 is arranged on each floor), the humidifier 50 is arranged in the building H. The whole can be humidified evenly. The humidifier 50 can also be arranged in a room or a common area existing on at least one floor in the building H, and a predetermined humidifying effect can be obtained.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air conditioners 10 and 20 are arranged on the descending ceilings 11c and 12c of the common areas 11 and 12 on the first and second floors of the building H, respectively, and the ventilation device 30 is under the floor of the building H. It is arranged in the space 13. The line-shaped outlets 14, 14, 14, and 14, which are air supply ports for supplying the conditioned air supplied from the air conditioners 10 and 20 into the building H, are the rooms R11, R12, and R21 in the building H. , R22, respectively, and exhaust ports 15 and 15 are provided on the floor surface F1 on the first floor in the building H in order to exhaust the air in the building H via the underfloor space 13.

The ventilation device 30 has a function of discharging the air inside the building H sucked from the duct 16 via the underfloor space 13 to the outside of the building H via the duct 17, and outside the building H taken in through the duct 18. It has a function of supplying air (outside air) to the air conditioners 10 and 20, respectively, via the air supply ducts 19a and 19b. In the middle of the duct 18, a filter box 44 having a built-in filter, which is an outside air purifying means for purifying the outside air taken into the ventilation device 30, is arranged.

In the whole building humidifying air-conditioning system 100, air supply ports 14 for supplying air-conditioned air from the air conditioners 10 and 20 are provided in each room R11, R12, R21, R22 in the building H. Exhaust gas discharged from the inside of each room R11, R12, R21, R22 is airtightly finished via the exhaust port 15 of the floor surface F1 on the first floor via the undercut U at the lower edge of the door. It is exhausted via the underfloor space 13.

The air supply ducts 19a and 19b of the ventilation device 30 are connected to the air conditioners 10 and 20, and supply outside air to the air conditioners 10 and 20, respectively. The ventilation device 30 is installed in the underfloor space 13 on the first floor, exhaust from the room is taken into the underfloor space 13 through the exhaust port 15 installed on the floor surface F1 on the first floor, and the underfloor space 13 is a ductless exhaust path. Use as.

By installing the ventilation device 30 in the underfloor space 13 in this way, it becomes difficult for the operating sound of the ventilation device 30 to be transmitted to the room. ) Can be kept quiet. Further, since the ventilation device 30 is arranged using the underfloor space 13, it is not necessary to provide an installation space dedicated to the ventilation device 30, and no separate construction work is required.

Further, by using the underfloor space 13 as an exhaust path, it is possible to ventilate the underfloor space 13 at the same time while air-conditioning the entire building H, and the air-conditioned exhaust passes through the underfloor space 13. Since the underfloor space 13 is almost the same as the living room space (inside the rooms R11, R12, R21, R22), the air conditioning load can be reduced and the deterioration of the building due to humidity etc. can be suppressed. can. Since the installation environment of the ventilation device 30 is also good, the product life of the ventilation device 30 itself is not impaired.

As shown in FIG. 1, the inspection port 45 formed on the floor surface F1 of the room R11 can be used as the inspection port of the ventilation device 30. When constructing the entire building humidification air conditioning system 100 in a heavy snow area, a ventilation device 30 is installed between the first and second floors of the building H so as not to be affected by snow, and a vent cap (duct 17, duct 17, The caps of the openings 17a and 18a of 18) can also be attached to a high place. When the ventilation device 30 is installed in the underfloor space 13 of the kitchen K (see FIG. 3) in the building H, the opening / closing opening 46 (see FIG. 3) of the underfloor storage can also be used as an inspection port.

In the humidifying air-conditioning system 100 in the entire building, the ventilation device 30 arranged in the underfloor space 13 is a total heat exchanger, and the air (exhaust) in the building H sucked in through the underfloor space 13 and the air taken in from outside the building H are taken in. It has a function of exchanging heat with air (outside air).

Therefore, the air sucked from outside the building H via the duct 18 can be introduced into the building H in a state close to the room temperature (air conditioning temperature) inside the building H, which is effective for improving the air conditioning efficiency. Is.

Further, in the humidifying air-conditioning system 100 in the entire building, the air conditioners 10 and 20 are arranged in the ceiling spaces 11a and 12a above the descending ceilings 11c and 12c formed in the common areas 11 and 12 in the building H, respectively. An air supply port 14 is provided inside R11, R12, R21, and R22 at a portion located at the shortest distance from the air conditioners 10 and 20 on each floor.

Specifically, the air supply port 14 can be provided on the upper part of the wall surface W on the corridor 22 side or on the ceiling surface C on the corridor 22 side of each room R11, R12, R21, R22. If a thin air conditioner such as an amenity built-in type is adopted as the air conditioner, the air conditioner fits well while minimizing the descending dimensions of the descending ceilings 11c and 12c, and the space of the common areas 11 and 12 feels oppressive. Is not given. Further, a storage room 29 or the like may be provided in the space behind the cabin 40 to effectively utilize the space.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the building H is a house having a height of a plurality of floors, the air conditioners 10 and 20 are provided in the attic spaces 11a and 12a of the common areas 11 and 12 on each floor. If the resident is absent and air conditioning is not required, the operation of the relevant floor can be stopped, which can contribute to energy saving. Since the ventilation operation (24-hour ventilation) is performed even if the air-conditioning operation is stopped, the ventilation obligation of the Building Standard Law can be cleared.

With the above-described configuration, it is not necessary to separately provide an air conditioner room in the humidifying air conditioning system 100 in the entire building, so that it can be easily installed. Further, by installing the air conditioners 10 and 20 in the ceiling spaces 11a and 12a of the common areas 11 and 12 which are non-living rooms, it is possible to prevent the diffusion of the operating noise of the air conditioners 10 and 20. It is possible to provide a quiet whole building humidification air conditioning system.

Further, by installing the air conditioners 10 and 20 in the ceiling spaces 11a and 12a of the common portions 11 and 12, the distance between the air supply ports 14 of the rooms R11, R12, R21 and R22 and the air conditioners 10 and 20 can be increased. Since it can be the shortest and the route of the duct 23 is also the shortest, a low pressure loss can be obtained and the load of the air conditioners 10 and 20 can be reduced respectively. Further, since the route of the duct 23 is the shortest, the duct material cost can be minimized, the construction can be simplified, and it is effective in cost reduction. The air conditioners 10 and 20 can also be installed on the ceiling of the rooms R11, R12, R21, R22 in the building H or the ceiling of the common area.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the humidifying air-conditioning system 100 in the entire building, a line-type outlet 14 is used as an air supply port to each room R11, R12, R21, R22, and upstream of the line-type outlet 14. The side is connected to the air conditioner 10 via the chamber 24 and the duct 23. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the chamber 24 has a portion that continuously widens in the horizontal direction and a portion that continuously contracts in the vertical direction toward the line-shaped outlet 14 from the connection port 25 with the duct 23. It has a rectifying unit 26 that also has.

In the whole building humidifying air-conditioning system 100, a line-shaped air outlet 14 as shown in FIG. 2 is used as an air supply port in order to supply the air-conditioned air sent from the air conditioners 10 and 20 to the room R11 and the like. , The pocket size of the descending ceilings 11c and 12c can be suppressed to the minimum size. Further, since the line-shaped outlet 14 can blow out conditioned air along the ceiling or the wall surface, the conditioned air is distributed throughout the room, and the conditioned efficiency is improved.

Since the chamber 24 as shown in FIG. 2 is used in the humidifying air-conditioning system 100 in the entire building, the air conditioners 10 installed on the descending ceilings 11c and 12c and the line-shaped air outlets 14 installed on the wall surface W are provided. It can be suitably connected. Further, the chamber 24 does not interfere with various members (beams and the like) constituting the descending ceilings 11c and 12c, and fits well.

Further, the conditioned air supplied from the duct 23 can smoothly reach the line-shaped outlet 14 by flowing in the chamber 24 having the above-mentioned shape, so that a low voltage loss can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the humidifying and air-conditioning system 100 in the entire building, an outside air cleaning means (filter box 44 with a built-in filter) for purifying the outside air taken into the ventilation device 30 is arranged in the underfloor space 13. Therefore, for example, the filter box 44 can be maintained from the inspection port 45 provided on the floor surface F1 in the building H, and the workability is also good. Further, since the filter box 44 can be maintained from the floor surface F1, it is not necessary to work at a high place using a stepladder or the like, and it is excellent in safety.

On the other hand, in the whole building humidification air conditioning system 100, as shown in FIG. 1, an intermediate duct fan 41 capable of reversible operation is provided to connect the cabin back space 40 of the building H and the room R21 in the building H in a communicative state. ing. Therefore, in the winter, the warm air in the cabin back space 40 can be supplied into the room R21, and in the summer, the cold air in the room R21 can be supplied into the cabin back space 40, thus reducing the air conditioning load. It is valid.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, since the storage chamber 29 provided in the cabin back space 40 and the air conditioner 20 are communicated with each other by the air supply duct 43, the air conditioner 20 to the storage chamber 29 are communicated with each other. By sending air-conditioned air into the room, the same air-conditioning as other rooms can be performed.

When constructing the whole building humidification air conditioning system 100 as shown in FIG. 1, a heat insulating material such as glass wool can be used for the heat insulating treatment means of the building H, but from the viewpoint of ensuring airtightness, spray foam heat insulating is installed. It is desirable to do.

Further, in the whole building humidification air conditioning system 100, in order to efficiently discharge the air inside the building H to the outside of the building H via the underfloor space 13, it is essential to ensure the airtightness of the underfloor space 13 of the building H. Therefore, it is desirable to apply spray foam insulation to the airtight insulation treatment means of the underfloor space 13.

As described above, in the whole building humidification air conditioning system 100, the ventilation function by the ventilation device 30 can be ensured by keeping the airtightness of the underfloor space 13 at a high level, whereby other functions (for example, line-shaped blowing) can be ensured. The cooling / heating function by the air-conditioned air blown out from the outlet 14) also operates effectively.

The humidifier 50 constituting the entire building humidifying and air-conditioning system 100 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 is not limited, but for example, the humidifier 50 shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 and the humidifiers shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are shown. 60 or the humidifiers 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 shown in FIGS. 13 to 19 can be preferably used. Hereinafter, the humidifiers 50, 60, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 19.

First, the humidifier 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10. As shown in FIG. 6, the humidifier 50 is installed on the floor surface F near the boundary between the floor surface F and the wall surface W of the building H, humidifies the air sucked from the room of the building H, and heads toward the room again. It has the function of humidifying the room by blowing it out.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the humidifier 50, a blower fan 4, a humidifying element 5, a tray 6, a water supply valve 7, a filter 8, a control means 9, and the like are arranged inside a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped casing 110. .. An air suction port 1 is opened below the front surface of the casing 110, and an air outlet 2 is opened on the upper surface of the casing 110.

Inside the casing 110, there is a ventilation path 3 that communicates the air suction port 1 and the air outlet 2, and a blower fan that introduces air from the air suction port 1 and discharges it from the air outlet 2 via the ventilation path 3. 4, a humidifying element 5 arranged in the ventilation path 3, a tray 6 accommodating a lower portion of the humidifying element 5, a water supply valve 7 which is a water supply means for supplying water to the humidifying element 5 via the tray 6. A filter 8 for purifying the air introduced from the air suction port 1 is provided. The humidifying element 5 is one of the humidifying means having a steam generating function.

The amount of water supplied from the water supply valve 7 to the humidifying element 5 is automatically controlled by the control means 9. Specifically, the sensor 111 detects the water level in the tray 6, the data is transmitted to the control means 9, and the magnitude comparison between the value input in advance in the control means 9 and the water level data detected by the sensor 111. Then, the water supply valve 7 is opened and closed based on the above, and water is supplied to and stopped from the tray 6.

A water supply hose 112 for supplying water to the water supply valve 7 is piped from the back surface of the casing 110 toward the wall surface W side, and as shown in FIG. 7, the opening 112a on the upstream side of the water supply hose 112 is provided on the wall surface W of the building H. A connecting means 113 for detachably connecting to the provided faucet outlet 114 is provided. The faucet outlet 114, which is one of the water supply means, is provided with a handle 115 for supplying / stopping water to the water supply hose 112 and adjusting the amount of water supply. It has an emergency water stop function that automatically stops water when it occurs. Since the connecting means 113 can be attached to and detached from the faucet outlet 114, it can be easily attached and detached during a period (season) when the humidifier 50 is not used or in an emergency.

The humidifying element 5 housed in the tray 6 is a vaporization type humidifying means, and the element material 5a moistened with water stored in the tray 6 is vaporized by applying the air flow generated by the blower fan 4. Humidification is performed by this.

In the humidifier 50 installed as shown in FIG. 6, when the blower fan 4 (see FIG. 8) is operated, as shown in FIG. 8, the air introduced from the air suction port 1 by the action of the blower fan 4 Is purified by passing through the filter 8, humidified in the process of passing through the humidifying element 5, and then discharged upward from the air outlet 2, thereby humidifying the inside of the building H.

Moisture is supplied to the humidifying element 5 by water supplied from the water supply valve 7 to the water supply valve 7 from the water supply hose 112 connected to the faucet outlet 114 provided on the wall surface W of the building H. Since the amount of water supplied to the tray 6) is automatically controlled by the control means 9, no regular water supply work is required, and no water tank is required, so that the size and weight can be reduced. Therefore, it is not easily restricted in the installation location in the building H, and can be installed at any position in the vicinity of the faucet outlet 14 as long as it is provided.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the faucet outlet 114 adopts a circulating water supply system. Specifically, a circulating water supply system is formed by providing a faucet outlet 114 in the middle of a water supply pipe 117 to a toilet or kitchen (not shown) in the building H. Since water is constantly flowing in the water supply pipe 117, no water remains in the water supply pipe 117 even during the period when the faucet outlet 114 is not used (such as the season when the humidifier 50 is not used), and the water supply is caused by the residual water. Corrosion of the pipe 117 can be prevented.

In the humidifier 50, since the filter 8 for gas purification is arranged between the air suction port 1 and the humidifying element 5 in the ventilation path 3, dust and the like contained in the air introduced from the air suction port 1 can be removed. It can be collected and removed. Further, it is possible to prevent the humidifying element 5 from being soiled or deteriorated due to dust or the like contained in the air.

In the humidifier 50, since the humidifying element 5, the tray 6, and the water supply valve 7 are removable from the casing 110, workability such as maintenance and parts replacement is good.

In the humidifier 50, when the amount of water supplied from the water supply hose 112 to the tray 6 via the water supply valve 7 exceeds a set value, the sensor 111 detects it and issues an alarm, and the water supply valve 7 stops the water. It is possible to prevent damage caused by flooding or water leakage. The humidifier 50 includes, but is not limited to, a vaporization type humidifying element 5 as a humidifying means.

Since the humidifier 50 is smaller and lighter than the conventional humidifier and does not require regular water supply work, as shown in FIG. 9, even in a place where a faucet outlet 114 is provided nearby. For example, a gantry D can be provided on the floor surface F in the building H, and the humidifier 50 can be arranged on the gantry D.
