Description

本発明は、例えば精密機械工業の工場やクリーンルームなどにおいて使用する加湿装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a humidifier used in, for example, a factory of a precision machine industry or a clean room.

精密機械工業の工場やクリーンルームなどにおいては、温度、湿度などの室内環境を一定に保つ必要があり、このような室内の恒温恒湿を目的とした加湿装置には、ハウジングやケーシング等の空気流路に空気取入口側より、加熱コイル、冷却コイル、気化式加湿器、露点センサー或は絶対湿度センサー、送風機が配置されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この気化式加湿器は、給水管からの水を加湿材上部に滴下して、加湿材表面を濡れ面となるように水が表面を流れるようにした加湿モジュールからなり、露点センサーで検知される加湿後の露点が一定となるように加熱冷却コイルを制御して加湿を行わせるようにしている。また、加熱冷却コイルは、露点センサーが検知する露点温度に基づいて加熱冷却量（例えば、冷水や温水の通水量など）を比例制御するようにしている。 In precision machinery factories and clean rooms, it is necessary to maintain a constant room environment such as temperature and humidity, and such humidifiers for the purpose of constant temperature and humidity in the room include air flow in housings and casings. A heating coil, a cooling coil, a vaporizing humidifier, a dew point sensor or an absolute humidity sensor, and a blower are arranged on the road from the air intake side (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This vaporizing humidifier consists of a humidifying module that drops water from the water supply pipe onto the humidifying material so that the surface of the humidifying material becomes a wetted surface, and is detected by a dew point sensor. The heating and cooling coil is controlled so that the dew point after humidification is constant, so that humidification is performed. The heating / cooling coil proportionally controls the heating / cooling amount (for example, the flow rate of cold water or hot water) based on the dew point temperature detected by the dew point sensor.

一般に、気化式加湿器への給水量は、室内を恒湿に保つための必要加湿量に、加湿材の洗浄に用いる水量を含めた水量としている。加湿材の洗浄に用いる水は、気化式加湿器が湿式フィルターと同様に空気中の塵埃の汚れやその他の付着物を補足・捕集することから、加湿材表面に水膜を形成させると共に流下して加湿材表面を汚れないように洗浄するために必要な水であり、おおよそ必要最大加湿量の１．５〜２倍程度使用していた。 In general, the amount of water supplied to the vaporizing humidifier is the amount of water including the amount of water used for cleaning the humidifying material in addition to the amount of humidification required to keep the room constant humidity. The water used for cleaning the humidifying material flows into the humidifying material surface as the vaporizing humidifier captures and collects dirt dirt and other deposits in the air, as with the wet filter. Thus, the water is necessary to clean the surface of the humidifying material so as not to get dirty, and is used approximately 1.5 to 2 times the required maximum humidifying amount.

必要加湿量は、例えば関東地方の外気は冬期で0℃DB／40％RH、夏期で25℃DB／60％RH、中間期（春、秋）で15℃DB／40％RHと温湿度が変化する季節要因や、晴れ、曇り、雨のような天候要因により温湿度の変化と共に変動する。このため、給水量の設定は、加湿量が最も多くなる冬期空気条件に基づく必要加湿量（必要最大加湿量）に、加湿材の洗浄用に必要な水量を加えたものを給水量とし、特に制御されることなく一定の水量のまま使用されていた。
特開２００１−３１７７９５号公報 Necessary humidification amount is, for example, 0 ℃ DB / 40% RH in winter, 25 ℃ DB / 60% RH in summer, 15 ℃ DB / 40% RH in mid-term (spring, autumn) It fluctuates with changes in temperature and humidity due to changing seasonal factors and weather factors such as sunny, cloudy, and rainy. For this reason, the amount of water supply is determined by adding the amount of water required for cleaning the humidifier to the required amount of humidification (required maximum humidification amount) based on the winter air conditions where the amount of humidification is the largest. It was used with a constant amount of water without being controlled.

しかし、上述の通り必要加湿量は季節要因や天候要因により変動するために、加湿シーズン中においても常時最大加湿量が要求される場合は限られており、必要加湿量に対する必要給水量以上の給水を行ってしまい無駄水が発生していた。
また、最近では、精密機械工業の工場やクリーンルームなど夏期に加湿が必要となるような工場等もあり、年間を通じて加湿が要求されるようになっているために、さらに無駄水の量が多くなるという問題があった。 However, since the required humidification amount varies depending on seasonal factors and weather factors as described above, the maximum humidification amount is always required even during the humidification season, and water supply exceeding the required water supply amount for the required humidification amount is limited. Waste water was generated.
Recently, there are factories that require humidification in the summer, such as factories in the precision machinery industry and clean rooms, and humidification is required throughout the year. There was a problem.

一般的に、冬期と比較して夏期のほうが絶対湿度は高いので、外気処理を行うような加湿装置では、夏期には加湿器への給水量を減らすことができるため、手動により給水量を調整している場合もあった。しかし、無駄水を効率的に減らすには、給水量を常時調整する必要があり、手作業では大変面倒な作業でもあり煩雑であった。さらには、季節や空気条件の変化に対応するようにした給水量の設定表などに基づいて、オリフィスやバルブ開度を手動により交換や調整を行っているような工場もあり、多大な手間がかかるという課題があった。 In general, the absolute humidity is higher in the summer than in the winter, so a humidifier that performs external air treatment can reduce the amount of water supplied to the humidifier in the summer, so the water supply is adjusted manually. There was also a case. However, in order to reduce waste water efficiently, it is necessary to constantly adjust the amount of water supply, which is a troublesome manual operation and is complicated. In addition, there are factories where the orifices and valve openings are manually changed or adjusted based on the setting table for the amount of water supplied so as to respond to changes in the season and air conditions. There was a problem that it took.

このように給水量を調整するときに、従来のオリフィスやノズルでの給水制御方法では給水量を定流量とすることしかできず、加湿材への給水に複数のノズルや複数のノズルを均等間隔に取付けたヘッダーを使用する必要があり、小流量を制御する場合には、個々のノズルや小孔からの滴下状態や吐出水量にバラツキが生じて不均一な滴下状態となる。また、従来のオリフィスや定流量弁では、給水量を小流量に制御するには下限があり小流量に絞りきれないため、加湿器への連続的かつ均一な小流量での給水には限界があった。 When adjusting the water supply amount in this way, the conventional water supply control method using an orifice or nozzle can only make the water supply amount a constant flow rate, and evenly distribute multiple nozzles and multiple nozzles for water supply to the humidifying material. When a small flow rate is to be controlled, the dropping state from individual nozzles or small holes and the amount of discharged water vary, resulting in a non-uniform dripping state. In addition, with conventional orifices and constant flow valves, there is a lower limit for controlling the water supply amount to a small flow rate and it cannot be reduced to a small flow rate, so there is a limit to water supply at a continuous and uniform small flow rate to the humidifier. there were.

また、最近の加湿装置は、空気条件（温湿度条件）や任意の設定に基づき風量を調節可能となっている。気化式加湿器は、通過する風量により加湿能力が比例して変化するから、風量が調整され最大風量より低い値に設定された場合には、加湿量が減少するのに対し、上述の通り加湿材への給水量が一定であるために無駄水が発生する場合があった。
さらに、従来の加湿装置は、空気条件（温湿度条件）及び風量の両変化に伴う加湿量に適した給水量に対応して制御できないため同様に無駄水が発生し、特に、精密機械工業の工場やクリーンルームのように加湿器に純水を供給する場合には、無駄水のコストも莫大になるという課題があった。 Also, recent humidifiers can adjust the air volume based on air conditions (temperature and humidity conditions) and arbitrary settings. Since the humidification capacity of the vaporizing humidifier changes proportionally depending on the amount of air passing through, the humidification amount decreases when the air volume is adjusted and set to a value lower than the maximum air volume. There was a case where waste water was generated because the amount of water supplied to the material was constant.
Furthermore, since the conventional humidifier cannot be controlled according to the amount of water supply suitable for the amount of humidification associated with both changes in air conditions (temperature and humidity conditions) and air volume, waste water is generated as well. When pure water is supplied to a humidifier as in a factory or a clean room, there is a problem that the cost of wasted water is enormous.

そこで、本発明は、気化式加湿器を使用した加湿装置において、季節要因や天候要因等により変化する必要加湿量に応じて気化式加湿器への給水量を自動的に制御して無駄水を削減することができ、操作が簡単で、省エネルギー且つランニングコストの低い加湿装置を提供するものである。 Accordingly, the present invention provides a humidifier using a vaporizing humidifier that automatically controls the amount of water supplied to the vaporizing humidifier according to the required humidification amount that changes due to seasonal factors, weather factors, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a humidifier that can be reduced, is easy to operate, saves energy, and has a low running cost.

次に、本発明に係る加湿装置の作用を図２及び図３に基づいて説明する。
図３に示すように、気化式加湿器１による加湿後の目標の露点温度（例えば、図２中の点Ｘ’）を露点設定値として設定しておく。給水量制御機構７は、取入側湿度検出器６が検知した露点とこの露点設定値とを比較／演算し、必要加湿量を算出する。次に、給水量制御機構７は、この必要加湿量に対応した給水量を給水するための制御信号を出力し、給水弁９の開度又は開閉時間を制御して気化式加湿器１への給水量の制御を行う。 Next, the operation of the humidifier according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, a target dew point temperature (for example, point X ′ in FIG. 2) after humidification by the vaporizing humidifier 1 is set as a dew point setting value. The water supply amount control mechanism 7 compares / calculates the dew point detected by the intake-side humidity detector 6 with this dew point set value, and calculates the required humidification amount. Next, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 outputs a control signal for supplying a water supply amount corresponding to the required humidification amount, and controls the opening degree or the open / close time of the water supply valve 9 to supply to the vaporizing humidifier 1. Control the amount of water supply.

また、加湿量の制御は以下のように行う。
図２においてポイントＡからポイントＸまで加湿する場合には、供給側湿度検出器２の検出値に基づいて加熱／冷却制御機構３が制御弁５の開度を制御して、加熱／冷却コイル４により加湿前の空気をポイントＹまで加熱する。次に、必要な水量が供給された気化式加湿器１によって加湿された空気は、ポイントＸ’の状態になる。さらに、加湿後の空気を加熱コイルによって加熱することにより、ポイントＸの状態に制御することができる。 Further, the humidification amount is controlled as follows.
In FIG. 2, when humidifying from point A to point X, the heating / cooling control mechanism 3 controls the opening degree of the control valve 5 based on the detected value of the supply side humidity detector 2, and the heating / cooling coil 4. To heat the air before humidification to point Y. Next, the air humidified by the vaporizing humidifier 1 to which the necessary amount of water is supplied is in a state of point X ′. Furthermore, it can control to the state of the point X by heating the air after humidification with a heating coil.

また、具体的な給水量の設定と制御方法は、以下のように行う。
［制御例１］
クリーンルーム等の工場用空調では、一般に外気を多く導入し室内空気とミキシングするような空調を行っており、年間を通じて室内の温湿度は、例えば２０℃DB／５０％RHのように一定に定められている場合が多く、給水量の制御は以下のように行う。
本制御例では、給水量制御機構７が、空気供給口１２の所望湿度に対する絶対湿度と空気取入口１１側の絶対湿度の差分を必要加湿量として算出するようにしてある。
冬期や夏期等の季節や天候によって処理する湿度は変動するが、必要加湿量は、取入側湿度検出器６によって検知される気化式加湿器１の入口空気の状態により求めることができる。例えば、取入側湿度検出器６によって検知した空気の状態を冬期０℃DB／４０％RH（図２中の点Ａ）、中間期を１５℃DB／４０％RH（図２中の点Ｂ）、夏期を２５℃DB／６０％RH（図２中の点Ｃ）、工場内設定温湿度を２０℃DB／５０％RH（図２中の点Ｘ）とすると、図２より冬期Ａポイントの必要絶対湿度（ｋｇ／ｋｇＤＡ）は「Ｘ’−Ａ’」となり、必要加湿量はＷ＝ＳＧ×Ｖ×（Ｘ’−Ａ’）で求めることができる。ここで、Ｗ：加湿量（ｋｇ／ｈ）、Ｖ：風量（ｍ^３／ｈ）、ＳＧ：空気密度（１．２ｋｇ／ｍ^３）である。
従って、取入側湿度検出器６によって気化式加湿器１の入口絶対湿度（露点温度又は温湿度）を検知することにより、給水量制御機構７が所望の温度に対する絶対湿度（露点設定値）と比較演算することで必要加湿量を求めることができ、気化式加湿器１への必要給水量の設定が可能となる。 A specific water supply amount setting and control method is performed as follows.
[Control Example 1]
In air conditioning for factories such as clean rooms, air conditioning that generally introduces a lot of outside air and mixes with indoor air is performed, and the indoor temperature and humidity are set to a constant value of 20 ° C DB / 50% RH throughout the year. In many cases, the water supply is controlled as follows.
In this control example, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 calculates the difference between the absolute humidity with respect to the desired humidity of the air supply port 12 and the absolute humidity on the air intake port 11 side as the required humidification amount.
Although the humidity to be processed varies depending on the season such as winter and summer and the weather, the required humidification amount can be obtained from the state of the inlet air of the vaporizing humidifier 1 detected by the intake-side humidity detector 6. For example, the air condition detected by the intake side humidity detector 6 is 0 ° DB / 40% RH in winter (point A in FIG. 2) and 15 ° DB / 40% RH in the intermediate period (point B in FIG. 2). ), If the summer is 25 ° C DB / 60% RH (point C in Fig. 2) and the factory temperature / humidity is 20 ° C DB / 50% RH (point X in Fig. 2), then the winter A point from Fig. 2 The required absolute humidity (kg / kgDA) is “X′−A ′”, and the required humidification amount can be obtained by W = SG × V × (X′−A ′). Here, W: humidification amount (kg / h), V: air volume (m ³ / h), SG: air density (1.2 kg / m ³ ).
Therefore, by detecting the inlet absolute humidity (dew point temperature or temperature / humidity) of the vaporizing humidifier 1 by the intake side humidity detector 6, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 determines the absolute humidity (dew point set value) for the desired temperature. The required humidification amount can be obtained by performing the comparison calculation, and the required water supply amount to the vaporizing humidifier 1 can be set.

また、中間期のＢポイントでは、図２より必要絶対湿度は「Ｘ’−Ｂ’」となり、必要加湿量はＷ＝ＳＧ×Ｖ×（Ｘ’−Ｂ’）で求めることができる。なお、夏期のＣポイントでは所望絶対湿度を超えているために加湿は不要となる。ただし、加熱／冷却コイル４によって除湿過多になった場合には、中間期や冬期のように加湿が必要となり、湿度検出器６によって除湿後の空気状態を検知して同様に加湿量を求めることができる。
このように必要加湿量が求められると、加湿量に対応して給水量を制御することにより適正な給水量となり、理想的な加湿給水となるのみならず、ドレン水を出さないように制御することもでき、節水及び省エネ効果を得ることができる。
また、気化式加湿器１は、加湿材表面に付着する塵埃等の汚れやその他の付着物を除去するために、加湿量分に相当する量の給水を洗浄用水として余剰給水している。 In addition, at the B point in the intermediate period, the required absolute humidity is “X′−B ′” from FIG. 2, and the required humidification amount can be obtained by W = SG × V × (X′−B ′). It should be noted that humidification is unnecessary because the desired absolute humidity is exceeded at the summer C point. However, if the heating / cooling coil 4 causes excessive dehumidification, humidification is required as in the intermediate period or winter period, and the humidity state is detected by the humidity detector 6 in the same manner to obtain the humidification amount. Can do.
When the required humidification amount is obtained in this way, the water supply amount is controlled in accordance with the humidification amount, so that an appropriate water supply amount is obtained and not only an ideal humidified water supply but also control is performed so as not to discharge drain water. Can also save water and save energy.
Further, the vaporizing humidifier 1 supplies an excess amount of water corresponding to the amount of humidification as cleaning water in order to remove dirt such as dust adhering to the surface of the humidifying material and other deposits.

また、給水量制御機構７は、気化式加湿器１の最大加湿量に対する必要加湿量の比率を算出し、該比率に応じて気化式加湿器１への給水量を制御するようにすることもできる。
冬期のポイントＡにおける加湿量を最大加湿量とすると、給水量の制御は、（Ｘ’−入口絶対湿度）／（Ｘ’−Ａ’）×１００％で最大加湿量に対する必要加湿量の比率（給水量率）を求めることができるから、冬期の最大加湿量にこの比率を乗じることで、適切な給水量を求めることができる。 Further, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 calculates a ratio of the required humidification amount to the maximum humidification amount of the vaporizing humidifier 1 and controls the water supply amount to the vaporizing humidifier 1 according to the ratio. it can.
Assuming that the humidification amount at point A in winter is the maximum humidification amount, the control of the water supply amount is (X′−inlet absolute humidity) / (X′−A ′) × 100% ratio of the required humidification amount to the maximum humidification amount ( Water supply rate) can be obtained, and by multiplying the maximum humidification amount in winter by this ratio, an appropriate water supply amount can be obtained.

［制御例２］
また、高飽和効率の気化式加湿器を用いる場合は、例えば加湿制御露点範囲（−１〜１５℃DP）を加湿量（１００〜０％）と設定すると、露点−１〜１５℃DPを給水量１００〜０％RHに対応して給水量制御を行う。すなわち、取入側湿度検出器６が−１℃DP（−１℃DP以下を含む）を検知した場合には、給水量は１００％の最大給水量（最大加湿量の１．５〜２倍程度）となり、１５℃DP（１５℃DP以上を含む）を検知した場合には、給水は停止となる。また、−１〜１５℃DPの間においては、各露点温度に対応した絶対湿度により比例制御を行い、中間である８℃DPを検知した場合には、最大給水量の５０％を供給するように給水量を制御するようにしてある。 [Control Example 2]
Moreover, when using a vaporization type humidifier with high saturation efficiency, for example, if the humidification control dew point range (−1 to 15 ° C. DP) is set as the humidification amount (100 to 0%), dew point −1 to 15 ° C. DP is supplied to the water. Water supply amount control is performed corresponding to the amount of 100 to 0% RH. That is, when the intake side humidity detector 6 detects -1 ° C DP (including -1 ° C DP or less), the water supply amount is 100% of the maximum water supply amount (1.5 to 2 times the maximum humidification amount). The water supply is stopped when 15 ° C. DP (including 15 ° C. DP or more) is detected. In addition, between -1 and 15 ° C DP, proportional control is performed with absolute humidity corresponding to each dew point temperature, and when 8 ° C DP, which is the middle, is detected, 50% of the maximum water supply amount is supplied. The amount of water supply is controlled.

具体的には、給水弁９の電磁弁を間欠運転させて給水量を制御するから、例えば５０％制御であれば、電磁弁の開時間と閉時間を５０％ずつになるように制御する。実際には電磁弁の間欠（開閉）サイクルの１サイクルを１分とすると、電磁弁は３０秒開動作した後に３０秒間閉止状態を維持するサイクルを繰り返すこととなる。取入側湿度検出器６によって入口空気の状態をリアルタイムに検出してこの制御動作を行うことにより、適正な給水量を設定し適切に給水するこができ、無駄水をなくし節水や省エネに大きく貢献することができる。 Specifically, since the amount of water supply is controlled by intermittently operating the electromagnetic valve of the water supply valve 9, for example, if the control is 50%, the opening time and the closing time of the electromagnetic valve are controlled to be 50% each. Actually, if one cycle of the intermittent (open / close) cycle of the solenoid valve is 1 minute, the solenoid valve repeats a cycle of maintaining the closed state for 30 seconds after opening for 30 seconds. By detecting the inlet air condition in real time with the intake-side humidity detector 6 and performing this control operation, it is possible to set an appropriate water supply amount and supply water appropriately, eliminating wasted water and greatly saving water and saving energy. Can contribute.

次に、上記回路の一連の動作について、第５図に示したフローチャート図に沿って説明する。
給水量制御装置へ始動の指示が出て、始動装置１０６からの始動信号により、自動弁作動回路１１０が作動し、自動弁１１１を開とする。これと同時に、始動信号は第１開時間積算回路１０７の作動信号ともなり、第１開時間積算回路１０７は、給水圧力選定スイッチ１００の信号により、第１時間設定回路であらかじめ設定された時間Ｔ１を積算する。 Next, a series of operations of the above circuit will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
A start instruction is given to the water supply amount control device, and the automatic valve operation circuit 110 is operated by the start signal from the start device 106 to open the automatic valve 111. At the same time, the start signal also becomes an operation signal of the first open time integrating circuit 107, and the first open time integrating circuit 107 is set to a time T1 preset by the first time setting circuit in response to a signal from the feed water pressure selection switch 100. Is accumulated.

次に、第１開時間積算回路１０７は積算を終了すると自動弁作動回路１１０へ信号を出し、自動弁作動回路１１０が作動し、自動弁１１１を閉とする。これと同時に第１開時間積算回路１０７は閉時間積算回路１０８に信号を出し、この信号により、閉時間積算回路１０８は閉時間選定スイッチ１０１の信号により、閉時間設定回路１０４であらかじめ選定された時間Ｔ２を積算する。更に、閉時間積算回路１０８は積算を終了すると、自動弁作動回路１１０へ信号を出し、自動弁作動回路１１０が作動し、自動弁１１１を開とする。これと同時に閉時間積算回路１０８は第２開時間積算回路１０９に信号を出し、この信号により、第２開時間積算回路１０９は、給水圧力選定スイッチ１００と開時間選定スイッチ１０２の信号により、第２開時間設定回路１０５であらかじめ設定された時間Ｔ３を積算する。 Next, the first open time integration circuit 107 outputs a signal to the automatic valve operation circuit 110 when the integration is completed, the automatic valve operation circuit 110 is operated, and the automatic valve 111 is closed. At the same time, the first open time integrating circuit 107 outputs a signal to the closed time integrating circuit 108, and the closed time integrating circuit 108 is selected in advance by the closing time setting circuit 104 based on the signal from the closing time selection switch 101. The time T2 is accumulated. Further, when the closing time integration circuit 108 completes the integration, it outputs a signal to the automatic valve operation circuit 110, the automatic valve operation circuit 110 is operated, and the automatic valve 111 is opened. At the same time, the closing time integrating circuit 108 outputs a signal to the second opening time integrating circuit 109, and the second opening time integrating circuit 109 receives the signal from the feed water pressure selection switch 100 and the opening time selection switch 102 based on this signal. The time T3 preset by the two-open time setting circuit 105 is integrated.

次に、第２開時間積算回路１０９は積算を終了すると同時に自動弁作動回路１１０へ信号を出し、自動弁作動回路１１０が作動し自動弁１１１を閉とする。これと同時に第２開時間積算回路１０９は閉時間積算回路１０８に信号を戻し、この信号により、再び閉時間積算回路１０８は積算をはじめ上記動作を繰り返すように、Ｔ２、Ｔ３時間の積算と自動弁１１１の開閉の一連の動作を行うようになっている。 Next, the second open time integration circuit 109 outputs a signal to the automatic valve operation circuit 110 simultaneously with the completion of the integration, and the automatic valve operation circuit 110 operates to close the automatic valve 111. At the same time, the second open time integrating circuit 109 returns a signal to the closed time integrating circuit 108, and this signal causes the closed time integrating circuit 108 to repeat the above operations including the integration, and the integration of the T2 and T3 times. A series of operations for opening and closing the valve 111 is performed.

以上の動作を第６図のタイミングチャート図により説明する。
凹凸波形上限は、自動弁１１１の動作開の状態であり、波形下限は自動弁１１１の動作閉の状態である。記号Ｔ１は第１開時間、Ｔ２は閉時間、Ｔ３は第２開時間である。動作は時間と共に右方向へ移動し、始動信号により自動弁１１１が開となり、同時に自動弁１１１の開時間であるＴ１時間が積算され、終了と共に自動弁１１１が閉となり、自動弁１１１の閉時間であるＴ２時間が積算され、終了と共に自動弁１１１が再び開となり、自動弁１１１の開時間であるＴ３時間が積算される。このＴ３時間が積算終了となった時、自動弁１１１は再び閉となり、Ｔ２時間を積算するようになっている。つまり、これ以後の動作はＴ２、Ｔ３時間の積算の繰り返しにより自動弁１１１は開閉動作を繰り返すようになっている。 The above operation will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG.
The concave / convex waveform upper limit is a state in which the automatic valve 111 is opened, and the waveform lower limit is a state in which the automatic valve 111 is closed. Symbol T1 is a first opening time, T2 is a closing time, and T3 is a second opening time. The operation moves to the right with time, and the automatic valve 111 is opened by the start signal. At the same time, the time T1 that is the opening time of the automatic valve 111 is accumulated. T2 time is accumulated, and the automatic valve 111 is opened again upon completion, and T3 time that is the opening time of the automatic valve 111 is accumulated. When the T3 time is over, the automatic valve 111 is closed again, and the T2 time is added up. That is, in the subsequent operation, the automatic valve 111 repeats the opening and closing operation by repeating the integration of the time T2 and T3.

上記間欠給水手段により、給水圧力の変化や必要加湿量の変化が生じた場合であっても、常に必要加湿量に適した給水量を制御することが可能であり、無駄水を最小限にすることができる。また、最小限に給水量を制御可能なことから、溜り水も最小限にすることができ衛生的でもある。更に一定量の給水を間欠的に行うことは、加湿材の洗浄効果もあり、加湿材の衛生面、寿命面をも向上させることができる。 Even if there is a change in the water supply pressure or the required humidification amount due to the intermittent water supply means, it is possible to always control the water supply amount suitable for the required humidification amount, and minimize waste water be able to. Moreover, since the amount of water supply can be controlled to a minimum, the amount of accumulated water can be minimized and it is also hygienic. Furthermore, intermittently supplying a certain amount of water also has a cleaning effect on the humidifying material, and can improve the hygiene and life of the humidifying material.

次に、実施例３を図７に基づいて説明する。
上記実施例１又は２の加湿装置において、気化式加湿器１を空気流路１０に多段に設けた構成とすることもできる。
図７に示すように、多段式加湿方式では、空気供給口１２側の気化式加湿器１は１段目の気化式加湿器１によって湿度が飽和状態に近づくことから、２段目以降の加湿量は１段目と比較すると少ない加湿量でよく、給水量も少量で足りる。従って、２段目の気化式加湿器１の給水量を１段目の例えば１／１０の給水量とし、この少ない給水量に比例させた水量を供給することで更なる節水が可能となる。 Next, Example 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the humidifying device of the first or second embodiment, the vaporizing humidifier 1 may be provided in multiple stages in the air flow path 10.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the multistage humidification method, the vaporization humidifier 1 on the air supply port 12 side approaches the saturated state by the first vaporization humidifier 1, so that the second and subsequent humidifications are performed. Compared to the first stage, the amount may be a small amount of humidification, and a small amount of water supply is sufficient. Accordingly, the water supply amount of the second-stage vaporizing humidifier 1 is set to, for example, 1/10 of the first-stage water supply amount, and water can be further saved by supplying a water amount proportional to the small water supply amount.

次に、実施例４を図８及び図９に基づいて説明する。
図８に示す実施例において、加湿装置は、空気取入口１１と空気供給口１２との間の空気流路１０に設けた気化式加湿器１と、空気流路１０内の風量を検知する風量検知器１４と、該風量検知器１４に接続して設けた給水量制御機構７とからなり、該給水量制御機構７が風量検知器１４の検出値に基づいて必要加湿量を算出して気化式加湿器１への給水量を制御するように構成してある。 Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the humidifier includes an evaporative humidifier 1 provided in the air flow path 10 between the air intake port 11 and the air supply port 12, and an air volume for detecting the air volume in the air flow path 10. It comprises a detector 14 and a water supply amount control mechanism 7 provided in connection with the air flow detector 14, and the water supply amount control mechanism 7 calculates the required humidification amount based on the detection value of the air flow detector 14 and vaporizes it. It is comprised so that the amount of water supply to the type humidifier 1 may be controlled.

風量検知器１４は、風量センサー、風速センサー、動圧センサー等のセンサーを使用することができる。加湿量は、前述の通り、Ｗ＝空気密度×風量×絶対湿度量で求めることができるから、空気密度と絶対湿度量を一定とすると、加湿量は風量に比例する。従って、給水量制御機構７は、風量検知器１４が検知した風量によって給水弁９の開度又は開閉時間を制御し、気化式加湿器１への給水量を比例制御するようにしてある。 The air volume detector 14 can use sensors such as an air volume sensor, a wind speed sensor, and a dynamic pressure sensor. As described above, the humidification amount can be obtained by W = air density × air amount × absolute humidity amount. Therefore, if the air density and the absolute humidity amount are constant, the humidification amount is proportional to the air amount. Therefore, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 controls the opening degree or opening / closing time of the water supply valve 9 based on the air flow detected by the air flow detector 14 and proportionally controls the water supply amount to the vaporizing humidifier 1.

また、給水量制御機構７は、最大風量における最大加湿量に対する検出風量の比率を最大加湿量に乗じて必要加湿量を算出するようにしてある。
給水量制御機構７には、風量検知器１４からの信号により給水量を制御する演算制御部と、この演算制御部により給水量を調整する給水量調整部を設けてあり、給水量の制御は、風量検知器１４からの信号により設計上の最大風量の範囲に対し、風量検知器１４からの値がどのくらいの風量比かを検出演算して行う。例えば、設計風量が最大１００００ｍ^３／ｈの範囲であり、風量検知器１４からの検出値が６０００ｍ^３／ｈであれば、給水量は単純に比率にして６０％の流量となるように演算制御部より出力され、給水量調節部により給水量を制御することができる。
なお、他の部分の構成は上記実施例と同様である。 Further, the water supply amount control mechanism 7 calculates the required humidification amount by multiplying the maximum humidification amount by the ratio of the detected air amount to the maximum humidification amount in the maximum air amount.
The water supply amount control mechanism 7 is provided with an operation control unit that controls the water supply amount by a signal from the air flow detector 14 and a water supply amount adjustment unit that adjusts the water supply amount by this operation control unit. Based on the signal from the air volume detector 14, the calculation is performed by detecting and calculating the air volume ratio of the value from the air volume detector 14 with respect to the designed maximum air volume range. For example, if the design air volume is in the range of 10000 m ³ / h at the maximum and the detected value from the air volume detector 14 is 6000 m ³ / h, the water supply amount is simply controlled so that the flow rate is 60% in proportion. The water supply amount can be controlled by the water supply amount adjustment unit.
The configuration of the other parts is the same as in the above embodiment.

また、図９に示すように、風量検知器がファンコントローラ１６からなり、空気取入口１１に設けた送風機１５の出力を検知して風量を算出するように構成することも可能である。ファンコントローラ１６は、インバーター制御、電圧制御等の制御装置からなり、送風機１５の出力値と最大風量での出力値との関係から風量を算出するようにしてある。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the air volume detector may be constituted by a fan controller 16 and may be configured to detect the output of the blower 15 provided at the air intake port 11 and calculate the air volume. The fan controller 16 includes control devices such as inverter control and voltage control, and calculates the air volume from the relationship between the output value of the blower 15 and the output value at the maximum air volume.

次に、実施例５を図１０及び図１１に基づいて説明する。
図１０に示す加湿装置は、実施例１の加湿装置に、空気流路１０内の風量を検知する風量検知器１４を給水量制御機構７に接続して設け、この給水量制御機構７が取入側湿度検出器６及び風量検知器１４の検出値に基づいて必要加湿量を算出して気化式加湿器１への給水量を制御するように構成してある。各構成要素については、上記の実施例と同様である。 Next, Example 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The humidifying apparatus shown in FIG. 10 is provided in the humidifying apparatus of the first embodiment by connecting an air volume detector 14 for detecting the air volume in the air flow path 10 to the water supply amount control mechanism 7. The required humidification amount is calculated based on the detection values of the inlet-side humidity detector 6 and the airflow detector 14, and the water supply amount to the vaporizing humidifier 1 is controlled. About each component, it is the same as that of said Example.

また、図１１に示すように、風量検知器がファンコントローラ１６からなり、空気取入口１１に設けた送風機１５の出力を検知して風量を算出するように構成することも可能である。ファンコントローラ１６は、インバーター制御、電圧制御等の制御装置からなり、送風機１５の出力値と最大風量での出力値との関係から風量を算出するようにしてある。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the air volume detector may be composed of a fan controller 16 and may be configured to detect the output of the blower 15 provided in the air intake port 11 and calculate the air volume. The fan controller 16 includes control devices such as inverter control and voltage control, and calculates the air volume from the relationship between the output value of the blower 15 and the output value at the maximum air volume.

次に、本実施例の加湿装置の作用について説明する。
風量検知器１４の検出値に基づく制御においては、図１２に示すように、例えば最大設計風量（１００００ｍ^３／ｈ）を１００％とし、風量５０００ｍ^３／ｈのとき５０％になるように比例演算を行う。また、取入側湿度検出器６の検出値に基づく制御においては、図２に示すように、例えば冬期のＡポイントにおける必要加湿量を最大加湿量（１００％）とし、加湿が不要な室内設計値のＸポイントを０％とする。このＡポイントからＸポイントに対応する絶対加湿度のＡ’ポイントからＸ’ポイントの間を、前述の比率で比例演算を行い対応する値として出力する。 Next, the operation of the humidifier of this embodiment will be described.
In the control based on the detection value of the air flow detector 14, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the maximum design air flow (10000 m ³ / h) is set to 100%, and the proportional calculation is performed so as to be 50% when the air flow is 5000 m ³ / h. I do. Further, in the control based on the detection value of the intake side humidity detector 6, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, the required humidification amount at the A point in winter is set to the maximum humidification amount (100%), and humidification is not required. The X point of the value is 0%. Between the A humidification point corresponding to the A point and the X point, the proportion between the A ′ point and the X ′ point corresponding to the X point is proportionally calculated at the above-described ratio and output as a corresponding value.

給水量制御機構７が、風量及び露点から算出した出力を積演算器に入力して両出力値の積を得る。例えば、図１２に示すように、露点から算出された出力が５０％、風量から算出された出力が５０％のとき積演算器を通すことにより０．５×０．５＝０．２５となり、２５％の出力を得る。この出力値により給水弁９の開度又は開閉時間を制御して、気化式加湿器１への給水量を制御する。 The water supply amount control mechanism 7 inputs the output calculated from the air volume and the dew point to the product calculator to obtain the product of both output values. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the output calculated from the dew point is 50% and the output calculated from the air volume is 50%, it is 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25 by passing through the product calculator. Get an output of 25%. The amount of water supplied to the vaporizing humidifier 1 is controlled by controlling the opening or opening / closing time of the water supply valve 9 based on this output value.

また、このように演算算出された必要加湿量に、気化式加湿器１を洗浄するための洗浄用水を加えた水量を供給するようにすることも可能である。この洗浄用水は、最大加湿量の５０〜１００％の任意の一定水量を加える他、最大加湿量に対する必要加湿量の比率に対応して洗浄用水量を制御することも可能である。 It is also possible to supply a water amount obtained by adding cleaning water for cleaning the vaporizing humidifier 1 to the required humidification amount calculated and calculated in this way. In addition to adding an arbitrary constant water amount of 50 to 100% of the maximum humidification amount, the cleaning water amount can be controlled in accordance with the ratio of the required humidification amount to the maximum humidification amount.
