Description

本発明は、空調対象空間に給気する給気路と、空調対象空間から排気する排気路と、冷媒の液状態とガス状態とでの密度差及び冷媒の圧力差を利用して冷媒を自然循環させることで冷媒を介して排気路を流れる空気と給気路を流れる空気との間で顕熱交換を行う冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部が備えられている空調装置に関する。 The present invention uses the air supply path for supplying air to the air-conditioned space, the exhaust path for exhausting from the air-conditioned space, the density difference between the liquid state and the gas state of the refrigerant, and the pressure difference of the refrigerant to naturally provide the refrigerant. The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with a natural refrigerant circulation type sensible heat exchange unit that exchanges sensible heat between air flowing through an exhaust passage and air flowing through an air supply passage by circulating the refrigerant.

この種の空調装置としては、例えば、特許文献1に示すように、前記給気路、前記排気路、前記冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部に加え、給気路を流れる空気から水分を吸着して排気路を流れる空気に水分を放出する除湿ロータ(除湿部の一例)を備えた空調装置が知られている。 As an air conditioner of this type, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, in addition to the air supply passage, the exhaust passage, and the refrigerant natural circulation type manifest heat exchange unit, moisture is adsorbed from the air flowing through the air supply passage. An air conditioner equipped with a dehumidifying rotor (an example of a dehumidifying unit) that discharges moisture into the air flowing through the exhaust passage is known.

この空調装置では、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部を採用することで、冷媒の搬送動力が不要で、且つ、顕熱ロータ等に比べ圧損も少なくて済むようにしている。更に、この冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部により、給気路を流れる空気で除湿ロータよりも下流側の吸着除湿後の空気から水分吸着で生じた吸着熱(温熱)を回収し、その吸着熱を用いて排気路を流れる空気で除湿ロータよりも上流側の空気(除湿ロータの再生に用いられる空気)を加熱して再生に有利な温度状態とすることで、除湿を含む空調対象空間の空調を効率的に行い、高い省エネ性を実現している。 By adopting a sensible heat exchange unit of a natural refrigerant circulation type in this air conditioner, the power for transporting the refrigerant is not required, and the pressure loss is smaller than that of a sensible heat rotor or the like. Furthermore, this natural refrigerant circulation type sensible heat exchange unit recovers the adsorption heat (heat) generated by moisture adsorption from the air after dehumidification and adsorption on the downstream side of the dehumidifying rotor with the air flowing through the air supply path, and adsorbs the adsorption heat (heat). By using heat to heat the air upstream of the dehumidifying rotor (air used for regeneration of the dehumidifying rotor) with the air flowing through the exhaust passage to a temperature state that is advantageous for regeneration, the space subject to air conditioning including dehumidification It efficiently air-conditions and realizes high energy saving.

ところで、空調対象空間への給気温度は、除湿ロータによる吸着除湿過程で温度上昇した空気を冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部で冷却したものとなる。ここで、顕熱交換部での顕熱交換量は、給気路を流れる空気の状態と、排気路を流れる空気の状態と、自然循環式の顕熱交換部を流れる冷媒の状態との三者の相対関係で決まるが、この従来の空調装置では、これら三者の相対関係を自然の成り行きに任せて自由に変化させるようにしていた。 By the way, the air supply temperature to the air-conditioned space is obtained by cooling the air whose temperature has risen in the process of adsorption and dehumidification by the dehumidifying rotor by the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange section. Here, the amount of sensible heat exchange in the sensible heat exchange section is three: the state of air flowing through the air supply path, the state of air flowing through the exhaust path, and the state of the refrigerant flowing through the naturally circulating sensible heat exchange section. Although it is determined by the relative relationship between the two, in this conventional air conditioner, the relative relationship between these three is left to the natural course and can be changed freely.

上記従来の技術では、上述した三者の相対関係が自然の成り行きで変化するのに伴い、空調対象空間への給気温度に影響する顕熱交換部での顕熱交換量も同様に成り行きで変化することになる。そのため、空調対象空間への給気温度が不測に変化して空調対象空間の快適性が損なわれ易い問題があった。 In the above-mentioned conventional technique, as the relative relationship between the above-mentioned three parties changes naturally, the amount of exposed heat exchange at the exposed heat exchange section, which affects the air supply temperature to the air-conditioned space, also changes. It will change. Therefore, there is a problem that the air supply temperature to the air-conditioned space is unexpectedly changed and the comfort of the air-conditioned space is easily impaired.

この実情に鑑み、本発明の主たる課題は、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部により給気路を流れる空気と排気路を流れる空気との間で顕熱を融通して空調対象空間の空調を効率的に行えながら、空調対象空間への給気温度を安定させて空調対象空間の快適性も得られる省エネ性と快適性とを両立した空調装置を提供する点にある。 In view of this situation, the main subject of the present invention is to air-condition the air-conditioned space by accommodating the sensible heat between the air flowing through the air supply path and the air flowing through the exhaust path by the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange unit. The point is to provide an air conditioner that achieves both energy saving and comfort by stabilizing the air supply temperature to the air-conditioned space and obtaining the comfort of the air-conditioned space while efficiently performing the air conditioning.

上記構成によれば、まずは、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部により、給気路を流れる空気と排気路を流れる空気との間で顕熱を効率的に融通(回収して利用)することで、空調対象空間の空調を効率的に行える。そして、制御手段により、給気温度検出手段の検出結果に基づいて顕熱交換量調整手段を制御して空調対象空間への給気温度を設定給気温度に調整することで、空調対象空間への給気温度を安定させて空調対象空間の空調を効果的に行える。これらのことから、省エネ性と快適性とを両立することができる。

According to the above configuration, first, the sensible heat exchange unit of the refrigerant natural circulation type efficiently exchanges (recovers and uses) the sensible heat between the air flowing through the air supply passage and the air flowing through the exhaust passage. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently air-condition the air-conditioned space. Then, the control means controls the sensible heat exchange amount adjusting means based on the detection result of the supply air temperature detecting means to adjust the supply air temperature to the air conditioning target space to the set supply air temperature, thereby moving to the air conditioning target space. It is possible to effectively air-condition the air-conditioned space by stabilizing the air supply temperature. From these things, it is possible to achieve both energy saving and comfort.
Further, if the air volume of the air flowing through the first exhaust passage that is exhausted by performing the sensible heat exchange by the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange section changes, the sensible heat exchange amount by the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange section changes. Will be done. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the exhaust air volume ratio adjusting unit constituting the manifest heat exchange amount adjusting means adjusts the air volume ratio between the air exhausted in the first exhaust passage and the air exhausted in the second exhaust passage. As a result, it is possible to adjust the air volume of the air flowing through the first exhaust passage while maintaining the exhaust gas volume as a whole, and adjust the sensible heat exchange amount by the sensible heat exchange unit of the refrigerant natural circulation type.
Therefore, the amount of air supply to the air-conditioned space and the amount of exhaust air from the air-conditioned space can be adjusted to the air-conditioned space while maintaining the set amount required for ventilation. The air supply temperature can be effectively adjusted.

上記構成によれば、給気路を流れる空気を除湿部で除湿することで、空調対象空間への給気湿度を低下させることができる。更に、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部により、給気路を流れる空気で除湿部による除湿後の空気と、排気路を流れる空気との間で顕熱を融通しながら、温度変化を伴い易い除湿部による除湿後の空気の温度を設定給気温度に調整することができる。したがって、除湿を含む空調対象空間の空調を効率的且つ効果的に行える。 According to the above configuration, the air supply humidity to the air-conditioned space can be reduced by dehumidifying the air flowing through the air supply passage with the dehumidifying unit. Furthermore, the natural refrigerant circulation type sensible heat exchange unit easily causes temperature changes while accommodating sensible heat between the air flowing through the air supply path and the air after dehumidification by the dehumidifying section and the air flowing through the exhaust path. The temperature of the air after dehumidification by the dehumidifying section can be adjusted to the set supply air temperature. Therefore, air conditioning of the air-conditioned space including dehumidification can be performed efficiently and effectively.

前記第二排気路は、前記冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部による顕熱交換を行わずに前記全熱交換部による全熱交換を行って排気するように構成されている点にある。
The third characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the air flowing through the air supply passage is completely between the air flowing through the exhaust passage and the air before the actual heat exchange by the refrigerant natural circulation type demonstrative heat exchange unit is performed. total heat exchange unit is provided to perform heat exchange,

By accommodating (sensible heat and latent heat), air conditioning of the air conditioning target space can be performed more efficiently. Moreover, the natural refrigerant circulation type sensible heat exchange unit allows the air flowing through the air supply passage to change the temperature while accommodating the sensible heat between the air after the total heat exchange by the total heat exchange unit and the air flowing through the exhaust passage. The temperature of the air after total heat exchange by the total heat exchange unit, which tends to be accompanied by the above, can be adjusted to the set air supply temperature. Therefore, the air conditioning of the air conditioning target space can be performed more efficiently and effectively.

The amount of sensible heat exchanged by the sensible heat exchange unit can be adjusted while maintaining the amount of exhausted air at the set amount required for ventilation, and the air supply temperature to the air-conditioned space can be effectively adjusted.

前記冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部50は、冷媒rの液状態とガス状態とでの密度差及び冷媒rの圧力差を利用して冷媒rを自然循環させることで、冷媒rを介して給気側領域51を流れる空気と排気側領域52を流れる空気との間で顕熱交換を行うように構成されている。 The refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange unit 50 naturally circulates the refrigerant r by utilizing the density difference between the liquid state and the gas state of the refrigerant r and the pressure difference of the refrigerant r, thereby passing through the refrigerant r. It is configured to exchange sensible heat between the air flowing through the air supply side region 51 and the air flowing through the exhaust side region 52.

顕熱交換部50は、給気側領域51に配設される給気側熱交換部53と、排気側領域52に配設される排気側熱交換部54と、給気側熱交換部53と排気側熱交換部54との間で冷媒rを一方向に循環させる冷媒循環路55とから構成されている。 The sensible heat exchange unit 50 includes an air supply side heat exchange unit 53 arranged in the air supply side region 51, an exhaust side heat exchange unit 54 arranged in the exhaust side region 52, and an air supply side heat exchange unit 53. It is composed of a refrigerant circulation path 55 that circulates the refrigerant r in one direction between the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54 and the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54.

これらの給気側熱交換部53と排気側熱交換部54と冷媒循環路55は、例えば、給気側熱交換部53が排気側熱交換部54よりも上方に位置する配置関係とされ、低位側の排気側熱交換部54で蒸発したガス状態の冷媒rが冷媒循環路55を通じて自然に上方に移動して高位側の給気側熱交換部53に流入し、高位側の給気側熱交換部53で凝縮した液状態の冷媒rが冷媒循環路55を通じて自然に下方に移動して低位側の排気側熱交換部54に流入するように構成されている。 The air supply side heat exchange unit 53, the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54, and the refrigerant circulation path 55 are arranged so that, for example, the air supply side heat exchange unit 53 is located above the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54. The gas-state refrigerant r evaporated in the lower exhaust side heat exchange section 54 naturally moves upward through the refrigerant circulation path 55 and flows into the higher side air supply side heat exchange section 53, and flows into the higher side air supply side heat exchange section 53. The liquid refrigerant r condensed in the heat exchange section 53 is configured to naturally move downward through the refrigerant circulation path 55 and flow into the lower exhaust side heat exchange section 54.

また、この冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部50は、給気側領域51を流れる空気として、給気路10を流れる空気で全熱交換部30による全熱交換と除湿部40による除湿が行われた後の空気と、排気側領域52を流れる空気として、排気路20を流れる空気で全熱交換部30による全熱交換が行われる前の空気との間で顕熱交換を行うように構成されている。 Further, in the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange unit 50, as the air flowing through the air supply side region 51, the total heat exchange by the total heat exchange unit 30 and the dehumidification by the dehumidifying unit 40 are performed by the air flowing through the air supply passage 10.

このとき、排気路20を流れる空気で全熱交換部30による全熱交換が行われる前の空気(屋内空気RA)は、給気路10を流れる空気で除湿部40による冷却除湿後の空気に比べて高温の空気である。そのため、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部50の排気側熱交換部54が熱回収器となり、液状態の冷媒rを蒸発させる形態で排気路20を流れる空気で全熱交換部30による全熱交換が行われる前の空気の顕熱(温熱)が回収される。更に、顕熱交換部50の給気側熱交換部53が再熱器となり、ガス状態の冷媒rを凝縮させる形態で給気路10を流れる空気で除湿部40による冷却除湿後の空気が再熱される。 At this time, the air (indoor air RA) before the total heat exchange by the total heat exchange unit 30 with the air flowing through the exhaust passage 20 becomes the air after cooling and dehumidification by the dehumidifying unit 40 with the air flowing through the air supply passage 10. It is relatively hot air. Therefore, the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54 of the refrigerant natural circulation type sensible heat exchange unit 50 serves as a heat collector, and the total heat generated by the total heat exchange unit 30 is generated by the air flowing through the exhaust passage 20 in the form of evaporating the liquid refrigerant r. The actual heat (heat) of the air before the exchange is recovered. Further, the air supply side heat exchange section 53 of the sensible heat exchange section 50 serves as a reheater, and the air flowing through the air supply path 10 in the form of condensing the gas-state refrigerant r re-cools and dehumidifies the air by the dehumidifying section 40.

そして、この空調装置100は、給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度を設定給気温度に維持するように構成されている。そのため、この空調装置100には、給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度を検出する給気温度検出手段60と、冷媒自然循環式の顕熱交換部50による顕熱交換量を調整する顕熱交換量調整手段70と、給気温度検出手段60による検出結果に基づいて顕熱交換量調整手段70を制御して給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度を設定給気温度に調整する制御部(制御手段の一例)80が備えられている。 The air conditioner 100 is configured to maintain the air supply temperature to the indoor R by the air supply path 10 at the set air supply temperature. Therefore, the air conditioner 100 adjusts the amount of sensible heat exchanged by the air supply temperature detecting means 60 that detects the air supply temperature to the indoor R by the air supply passage 10 and the sensible heat exchange unit 50 of the refrigerant natural circulation type. The sensible heat exchange amount adjusting means 70 and the sensible heat exchange amount adjusting means 70 are controlled based on the detection results by the supply air temperature detecting means 60 to set the supply air temperature to the indoor R by the air supply path 10 to the set supply air temperature.

By adjusting the flow rate, the amount of sensible heat exchange in the sensible heat exchange unit 50 is adjusted.

この冷媒流量調整部71は、例えば、冷媒循環路55における給気側熱交換部53から排気側熱交換部54へ冷媒rが流れる区間に電子膨張弁等を介装して構成され、制御部80からの制御指令に応じた弁開度の調整により冷媒循環路55を流れる冷媒rの流量を調整する。 The refrigerant flow rate adjusting unit 71 is configured by, for example, interposing an electronic expansion valve or the like in a section where the refrigerant r flows from the air supply side heat exchange unit 53 to the exhaust side heat exchange unit 54 in the refrigerant circulation path 55, and is a control unit. The flow rate of the refrigerant r flowing through the refrigerant circulation path 55 is adjusted by adjusting the valve opening degree according to the control command from 80.

前記制御部80は、給気温度検出手段60から検出温度を通信等で取得し、その検出温度に基づき、給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度が設定給気温度となるように冷媒流量調整部71に対して冷媒rの流量を調整する制御指令を出力することで、冷媒流量調整部71を制御し、顕熱交換部50での顕熱交換量を調整して給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度を設定給気温度に維持する。 The control unit 80 acquires the detected temperature from the supply air temperature detecting means 60 by communication or the like, and based on the detected temperature, the refrigerant so that the supply air temperature to the indoor R by the supply air passage 10 becomes the set supply air temperature.

例えば、この制御部80は、給気温度検出手段60から取得した検出温度と予め設定された設定給気温度とを比較し、検出温度が設定給気温度よりも低い場合は、顕熱交換部50での顕熱交換量を増大させるべく冷媒rの流量を増大させる制御指令を冷媒流量調整部71に出力し、他方、検出温度が設定給気温度よりも高い場合は、顕熱交換部50での顕熱交換量を減少させるべく冷媒rの流量を減少させる制御指令を冷媒流量調整部71に出力することで、給気路10による屋内Rへの給気温度を設定給気温度に維持する。 For example, the control unit 80 compares the detection temperature acquired from the supply air temperature detecting means 60 with the preset set supply air temperature, and if the detected temperature is lower than the set supply air temperature, the sensible heat exchange unit 80. A control command for increasing the flow rate of the refrigerant r to increase the sensible heat exchange amount at 50 is output to the refrigerant flow rate adjusting unit 71, while when the detected temperature is higher than the set supply air temperature, the sensible heat exchange unit 50 By outputting a control command to reduce the flow rate of the refrigerant r to reduce the amount of sensible heat exchange in, the air supply temperature to the indoor R by the air supply path 10 is maintained at the set supply air temperature.
