Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner in which humidifying and deodorization operations are carried out with a simple constitution and these functions are maintained for a long period of time. SOLUTION: An air conditioner is comprises of a surrounding air flow passage 5, an indoor air flow passage 10, a rotary type heat exchanger 1 having an adsorption material for adsorbing moisture in the air, and a heater 11 arranged at a flowing-in side for the rotary type heat exchanger 1 in the indoor air flow passage 10. Both adsorbing material and photocatalyst are applied to the rotary type heat exchanger 1. When the surrounding air passes through the rotary type heat exchanger 1, moisture contained in the surrounding air is adsorbed in the adsorbing material, the rotary type heat exchanger 1 is rotated and moved in the indoor air flow passage. When the indoor air heated by the heater 11 passes through the rotary type heat exchanger 1, the moisture content adsorbed by the adsorbing material is separated from the material to cause the indoor air to be humidified. In addition, the photocatalyst is excited by light to cause smoke and odor components adsorbed by the aforesaid adsorbing material to be decomposed.

By the way, since the conventional air conditioner with a humidifying function does not consider the deodorizing function, a deodorizing facility is additionally required for deodorizing. In addition, the non-water supply humidifying unit does not take much consideration of antibacterial measures for suppressing the growth of bacteria. For this reason, there is a possibility that an unpleasant odor may be generated due to long-term use.

Further, the non-supply water humidifying unit into which the outdoor air flows needs a filter having a large dust collection efficiency for removing the soot so as not to interfere with the adsorption of water even if the soot in the outdoor air flows in. Yes, it is necessary to increase the wind power. Further, since the conventional air conditioner with a deodorizing function does not consider the humidifying function, a separate humidifying facility is required to perform the humidifying. In either case, if the humidifying function and the deodorizing function are combined, there is a problem that the air conditioner body becomes large, the equipment becomes complicated, the manufacturing cost becomes high, and the power consumption becomes high.
