[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the temperature near the feet of the work desk 1 can be adjusted to the temperature desired by the operator, but the upper temperature at which the temperature adjustment does not directly act is the air conditioning of the entire room. Since the temperature is arbitrarily determined by the influence of the ambient temperature environment such as the radiation of the wall surface and the exhaust heat of the equipment, the temperature does not necessarily become an appropriate temperature for the individual, and the temperature distribution is not comfortable for the individual.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and is a temperature environment for a personal space in which the upper temperature and the lower temperature in the environment in the personal space can be adjusted to an individual's favorite temperature without being affected by the ambient temperature environment. The purpose is to provide an adjusting device.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a partition having a pipe for partitioning a work desk and guiding a refrigerant, an outdoor unit for supplying the refrigerant to the pipe, and the periphery of the partition. Temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the partition, a temperature adjustment input device that the user sets the temperature, a heater that adjusts the refrigerant temperature, the output of the heater is controlled by the signals of the temperature sensor and the temperature adjustment input device, and the temperature of the partition is controlled. It is equipped with a control device for controlling, the partition is divided into an upper radiation panel and a lower radiation panel, temperature sensors and heaters are provided on the upper and lower parts of the partition, and a temperature adjustment input device is provided with temperature adjustment input for each upper temperature and lower temperature. A part is provided, and the upper temperature and the lower temperature are individually adjusted.

[0006]

In the above structure, the control device calculates the set temperatures of the upper part and the lower part of the partition based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the signal from the temperature adjustment input device, and the detected temperature matches the set temperature. Thus, the output of the heater is controlled to adjust the temperature of the refrigerant introduced to the upper radiation panel and the lower radiation panel.

Further, the controller 21 compares the upper working temperature (T3) with the updated upper working temperature (T4), and controls the upper radiant panel temperature adjusting heater 15 to match the upper working temperature (T4). Output a signal. "Up" or "up" from the lower temperature adjustment input section 12b
Even if there is an input of “lower”, the upper temperature adjustment input section 1
The same control operation as when there is an input from 2a is performed. When not input, the upper air temperature (T1), the upper radiation temperature (T2), the lower air temperature (T5), and the lower radiation temperature (T6) are detected, and the results are transmitted to the control device 21. Further, the control device 21 calculates the upper working temperature (T3) from the upper air temperature (T1) and the upper radiation temperature (T2), and also calculates the lower working temperature (T7) from the lower air temperature (T5) and the lower radiation temperature (T6). ) Is calculated, the upper working temperature (T3) is compared with the stored upper working temperature (T4), and the output of the heater 15 for adjusting the upper radiation panel temperature is adjusted so as to match the upper working temperature (T4).
