Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide humidifying and air cleaning methods in air conditioning to select action simply and optionally corresponding to room environment and local weather conditions by selecting in use of a kind of liquid which is composed of hard-evaporative liquid or ordinary water independently or mixture thereof with appropriate ratio, and in which a part of belt-like member is submerged. CONSTITUTION:A belt-like member 1 which is rotatably installed with tension vertically or nearly vertically between the lower location under held water level of a water container 2 and the upper location via a frame body 5 and wheels 4A, 4B, has permeability and water holding property and is composed of cotton-like synthetic fiber having excellent anticorrosive and heat resistant qualities. Under conditions requiring humidifying and air-cleaning together, only ordinary water such as tap water stored independently in the container 2 is used. When air cleaning is only required, ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol or hard-evaporative mixture thereof stored stored independently in the container 2 is used. Further, in case of adjusting humidity a mixture of water and hard-evaporative liquid is used.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is applicable to blower-type heating/cooling machines that are in practical use for heating and cooling in general homes and various offices, or to parallel operation with blower-type heating/cooling machines. In terms of heating and heating, when used in conjunction with stoves, indoor air is circulated widely throughout almost the whole room, especially in the vertical direction, and the difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the room is minimized, making it comfortable and highly energy-saving. Like an indoor air circulation system configured to achieve heating and cooling, in short, when air conditioning is performed using air 111fi, which has the function of actively circulating indoor air through 7 tons, the indoor relative humidity is mainly reduced during heating in winter. but people feel comfortable 50
Humidification that increases humidity by adding moisture to the circulating air through evaporation in order to prevent it from dropping below 60%, and air that purifies indoor air by removing fine dust contained in the circulating air. This is a method of purifying indoor air, which involves flowing indoor air through a belt-like body with excellent water retention and breathability, which is attached to the indoor air suction port of an air conditioner so that its position can be freely changed by rotation. This invention relates to a method for humidifying and cleaning air.

<Conventional technology and its problems> This type of general method, which has been implemented in the past, removes dust by attaching a removable dry filter to the indoor air suction port of an air conditioner. Alternatively, an evaporating dish type humidifier Ha was separately prepared and operated to perform humidification, but in this case, the filter tends to become clogged, and if left as is, it will become empty! As the operating load of the air conditioner increases and efficiency decreases, maintenance such as cleaning and replacement of this filter must be performed frequently.This, together with the maintenance of the humidifier, makes maintenance management of air conditioning operation troublesome and has various problems. There is.

1 In contrast, as mentioned above, a rotary belt-like body with excellent water retention and water permeability is used, and the part of this belt-like body located at the indoor air suction port of the air conditioner is According to the method of humidifying and purifying the air all at once by flowing the indoor air through it, the belt-like body part that collects dust separated from the air during the rotational movement of the indoor air suction port acts as a water reservoir. (Liquid) is automatically cleaned and clogged when it rotates in the container, and reaches the indoor air suction port in a resoluted water-retained state.
It is possible to carry out the maintenance function of removing clogging at the same time as the humidification and air purification function, and thus the desired humidification and air purification functions can be reliably and stably performed even during continuous use over a long period of time.

In such a humidification/air cleaning method using a rotary belt-like body, ordinary water such as tap water is usually used as the liquid in which a portion of the belt-like body is immersed.

However, in the case of using such cross-legs, their evaporation properties mean that they have both a humidifying effect and an air purifying effect at the same time, although there are some fluctuations depending on the temperature and humidity conditions of the air in the circulating room. However, there was a drawback in that it was not possible to select internal effects based on, for example, the environmental conditions of the room to be air-conditioned or the differences in regional weather conditions between Kyushu and Hokkaido.

Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention uses a rotary belt-like body to exhibit excellent effects in terms of maintenance and performance maintenance, while also reducing the indoor environment. The purpose is to propose a humidification/air purification method for air conditioning that allows the operation to be easily and arbitrarily selected depending on the conditions and local weather conditions.

In order to achieve the above object, the humidification/air cleaning method for air conditioning according to the present invention is the method described in detail at the beginning, in which a non-evaporating liquid is used as the liquid in which a part of the belt-like body is immersed. It is characterized in that it can be used alone or in a mixed state with ordinary water in an appropriate ratio.

Effect> When using the method of the present invention having such characteristics, circulating indoor air is supplied to the belt-like body portion of the rotary belt-like body that is located in a water-retaining state at the indoor air suction port of the air conditioner. As the water flows through the belt, part of the water (liquid) contained in the belt-like body part is evaporated and the circulating air is humidified, and dust in the air is collected by the water film and the air is While cleaning is carried out, the belt-like body part that has collected dust is immersed in water (liquid) and rotates to remove clogging, and when it moves upward, it retains water (liquid) again. Then, it reaches the aforementioned suction port.

Under such an effect, if ordinary water such as tap water is used alone as the liquid in which a part of the belt-like body is immersed, the above-mentioned humidifying effect and air purifying effect are performed at the same time, making it difficult to evaporate. When a liquid is used alone, it has almost no humidifying effect and only has an air cleaning effect, and -
When a mixed solution of a crosspiece and a non-evaporable liquid is used, an air purifying effect is performed at the same time as humidification according to the mixing ratio.

<Effects of the Invention> Therefore, when using the method of the present invention, (1) By using the rotary belt-like body, the maintenance frequency of the air conditioning operation is greatly reduced and maintenance management of the air conditioning operation is simplified, and the humidification and air purification are improved. Although the performance of the product can be maintained stably even during long-term use, (2) it is possible to select the effect of humidification plus air purification or air purification only, and to select the effect of humidification by using extremely simple means such as selecting the liquid to be used. The level of air conditioning can be adjusted, and it has become possible to provide appropriate and comfortable air conditioning according to indoor environmental conditions and local weather conditions.

A mixture of these in an appropriate ratio is used.

In addition, when a non-evaporating liquid is used alone, if an appropriate amount of concentrated calcium chloride aqueous solution is mixed into the non-evaporating liquid depending on the relative humidity in the air-conditioned room, the indoor temperature can be kept more appropriate due to the dehumidifying effect. It is particularly effective in carrying out the method of the present invention under high humidity conditions.
