2. Description of the Related Art In temperature and humidity control of an industrial clean room or the like, humidity control is performed by an air conditioner (hereinafter, referred to as an air conditioner) that processes outside air.
A dew point control method of controlling the absolute humidity in the air with an “outside control device” is employed. The dew point control in such an outside air conditioner is to blow air (hereinafter, referred to as “humidified outside air”) conditioned to the absolute humidity of the outside air up to a set humidity (absolute humidity) in the room, This is a control method utilizing that the absolute humidity in the room becomes equal to the absolute humidity of the conditioned outside air in a steady state when the amount of moisture generated in the room is extremely smaller than the amount of outside air introduced.

[0003] In this regard, a method of directly detecting and controlling the humidity of the circulating air by a sensor is conceivable. However, in an industrial clean room or the like, the amount of the circulating air is extremely large. If the detection is performed by the sensor and the control is performed by the humidifier, the sensor or the humidifier has a constant response speed, so that a so-called hunting phenomenon occurs, and stable operation is difficult. In contrast, the outside air dew point control method controls the humidity of the outside air, which has a large difference from the set humidity, and mixes the conditioned outside air with a large amount of circulating air that is ten and several times the outside air. Even if the response speed is slower than when used in a circulating air system, stable control is possible. For this reason, the dew point control system is used in large industrial clean rooms and the like.

[0004] According to the dew point control method in the external control device, during dehumidification in summer, the minimum necessary moisture is removed while detecting the dew point of the air at the external control device outlet in the external control device. It is energy saving because it is removed by the cooling coil in the controller, but in winter, it is similarly humidified to a predetermined dew point using a steam humidifier in the external controller, so if the temperature of the outside air is too low However, even if it is humidified, it is saturated at a low dew point temperature, so that it cannot be controlled to a predetermined dew point temperature. Therefore, conventionally, a method of preheating the outside air by a heater, that is, humidifying after reheating is adopted.

For example, was mixed in the underfloor chamber 103. Then, a dew point temperature sensor 104 is installed near the outlet of the outside air conditioner 102 to detect the absolute humidity of the introduced outside air (OA).
The humidifier 106 in the external air conditioner 102 is controlled by the humidity controller 107 during the humidification in the winter by controlling the chilled and heated water coil 105 in the inside 2. In general, temperature control is performed by the temperature controller 110 based on the detection result of the temperature sensor 109 that detects the temperature of the supply air (SA) installed in the ceiling chamber 108.
11 is controlled. During the humidification period in winter, since the temperature of the outside air is low, the reheat heater 112 is installed in the outside air conditioner 102 to heat the outside air in advance.

The air-conditioning system according to the present embodiment is configured as described above. For example, in winter, the outside air is extremely dry, and as a result, the set humidity (absolute humidity) in the clean room 1 becomes the absolute humidity of the outside air. Higher than
The humidity controller 23 sets the amount obtained by multiplying the difference by the introduced outside air amount as the first required humidification amount,
5 can be added to the circulating air to add the first required humidification amount. In this case, when the clean room 1 requires a more precise humidity setting, the second required humidification amount calculated by taking in data from each signal from the humidity sensor 31 and the temperature sensor 32 and calculating the data is also used. It is also possible to add moisture based on this. In any case, since the data is basically based on the data of the dew point temperature sensor 21 installed at the outlet of the air conditioner 11, hunting does not occur, and good controllability and stable humidity control are possible. is there.

In addition, in humidification, a method of directly humidifying the circulating air by the humidifying means 24 is adopted.
Considering that the room temperature of the clean room 1 is always 23 ° C. to 25 ° C., it is not necessary to reheat for humidification even in winter. Therefore, energy can be saved more than before, and it is not necessary to install a heater for reheating in the air conditioner 11. Furthermore, since the humidifying means 24 itself employs the water spray method, it has an effect of lowering the temperature of the circulating air during humidification, so that the energy saving effect is also large in this respect.

On the other hand, for example, when the humidity of the outside air is high in summer or the like and the absolute humidity of the outside air is higher than the set humidity (absolute humidity) of the clean room 1, the humidity controller 23 controls the cold / hot water coil of the air conditioner 11. 15 is controlled, and the dehumidifying operation is performed. In this case, the so-called outside air dew point control method described above is employed. While the dew point temperature sensor 21 detects the dew point of the introduced outside air (OA), the minimum necessary moisture is removed by the cold / hot water coil 15, so that the energy saving effect is obtained. There is. Further, since the introduced outside air conditioned in such a manner is mixed with a larger amount of circulating air in the underfloor chamber 3,
Stable control is possible.
