Abstract

PURPOSE:To radiate far infrared rays from radiators towards the floor at the lower part by a method wherein far infrared radiators are installed along the blow-off direction of air discharged from the air blow-off holes of an air conditioner placed at a ceiling and they are heated by blow-off hot air. CONSTITUTION:At the operation time of space heating blow-off hot air discharged from a blow-off hole 2 along the underside of a ceiling heats ceramic radiators 5 which change the heat energy of the blow-off air into far infrared energy and radiate towards the surface of a floor 7. Therefore, the floor is heated by far infrared rays and an air layer at the lower part of a room is heated by the heat transfer from the floor and the far infrared rays radiate directly to the human body and room temp. is made uniform by the agitation action due to the blow-off air from an air conditioner and there is no such bad effect as coldness under foot only etc. and further, health effect is able to be demonstrated by far infrared radiation to the human body.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an indoor air conditioning method using far infrared rays with excellent deep penetration power for heating purposes.

(Prior art) In recent years, far infrared rays have been recognized to be effective in promoting health and medically, and have been used for various health facilities, food management, etc., and far infrared rays are also used for indoor heating. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional means of utilizing far infrared rays include incorporating an electric heater into a far infrared radiator, such as a ceramic, and directly heating the far infrared rays to radiate far infrared rays.
Although this method improves far-infrared ray generation efficiency through direct heating, it has problems in that it costs a lot of money due to the use of electrical energy and requires a lot of effort to manage and maintain it.

In addition, in indoor heating systems that have air outlets on the ceiling surface, the hot air that is blown out generally stagnates in the upper part of the room and rarely reaches the floor, which creates a temperature difference between the top and bottom of the room, making it difficult for people in the room. People's feet tended to get cold.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention utilizes far infrared rays to eliminate the temperature difference between the top and bottom of a room during the conventional heating process, and uses air blown from an air conditioner as the heat source for the far infrared rays. This is an effective combination of air conditioning equipment and a far-infrared radiator, which reduces the use of energy such as Ml heat to heat the radiator. A radiator that emits far infrared rays as a heating source when it comes into contact with the blown air is provided along the blowing direction of the blown air, and the far infrared rays from the radiator are radiated toward the indoor floor surface. Features.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In Figure 1 (11 is the conditioned air outlet f2 on the side)
The air conditioner has an indoor air intake port (3) on the bottom surface, and is installed on the ceiling surface so that the air from the outlet port (2) is blown out along the bottom surface of the ceiling (4). A radiator (5) made of ceramic as a far-infrared radiator was formed on the ceiling along the blowing direction.

Furthermore, the ceramic radiator (5) is - murder! Series, T1 On Zr
It is made by crushing, molding, and firing natural products such as sunstone, maifanite, etc., and by mixing pigments into these materials to color them appropriately, or by mixing magnetic materials as necessary. Layer it on a substrate such as wood, paper, resin board, aluminum, etc., and attach it in the form of a plate, tile piece, sheet, or other appropriate means along the direction of the air blown from the air outlet. .

In this case, the air pump (1) may be a water heat source heat pump type, an air-cooled separate type heat pump, a fan coil type, or a simple hot air blower.

In Fig. 1, (71ri) shows the floor, (8) u shows the decorative material such as vinyl tiles affixed to the floor surface, and (9) shows the damper for changing the direction of the blown air. The warm air blown from (2) along the lower surface of the ceiling heats the ceramic radiator (5), and the heated radiator (5) converts the thermal energy of the blown air into far-infrared energy. The far infrared rays are radiated toward the floor (71). Therefore, the far infrared rays heat the floor surface and heat the air layer in the lower part of the room due to heat transfer, and the far infrared rays are radiated directly to the human body.
Furthermore, the agitation effect of the air blown out by the air conditioner makes the room temperature uniform, and there are no negative effects such as only the feet getting cold as in the past, and the far-infrared rays radiate to the human body, which has health benefits.

In addition, although the hot air blown out in this embodiment tends to stagnate in the upper part of the room, this stagnation air can also be used to heat the radiator 151 ft and generate far infrared rays.
For this purpose, a far-infrared radiator (5) is also attached to the periphery of the opening of the suction port (3). In addition, the direction changing damper (9) is oriented downward as shown by the dotted line, so that during cooling, the blowing direction of cold air is changed downward and the radiation layer (5) is directly blown by the cold air.
) to prevent cooling.

In another embodiment shown in Figure K2, there is a duct-shaped air passage aυ in the direction of air blowing out from the air outlet (2) of the air conditioner (1).
The lower plate to form the ventilation passage (111t) is directly shaped with a ceramic radiant layer (5), or the radiator (5) is formed on the lower plate.
), a part of the blown warm air is routed through the ventilation path αυ
The hot air is blown into the room from an opening 13 provided on the lower surface of the end of the radiator (
5) and radiating far infrared rays from the radiator (5) toward the lower floor surface due to the heating is the same as in the previous embodiment, and the effect is also the same.

Furthermore, in another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the indoor ceiling is generally a double ceiling, and the air outlet (2) of the air conditioner [13] is opened in the space I, and the double ceiling (13 Lower plate (13 &
A radiation layer (5) is formed on the lower surface of ), and the blown air is blown into the room from an opening α provided at a suitable position in the lower plate αJ through a gap a4 of the double ceiling, and passes through the gap α9. The operation and effect of heating the radiator (5) with warm air, emitting far infrared rays from K towards the floor surface, and the effects thereof are the same as in the above two embodiments.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a far-infrared radiator is provided along the direction of the air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner installed on the ceiling, and the far-infrared radiator is heated by the hot air blown out. Since the far infrared rays are emitted from the radiator toward the lower floor surface, the floor surface is heated by the far infrared rays, and the air in the lower part of the room is therefore warmed, so it works in conjunction with the hot air blowing out. This effectively heats both the upper and lower air in the room, and the agitation effect of the blown air makes the indoor temperature distribution uniform both above and below, eliminating the negative effect of only the feet being cold due to conventional heating effects. The heat generated by the resonance effect makes you feel warm, so even when the indoor temperature is low, you don't feel cold, so you can reduce heating energy, and the characteristics of far infrared rays can promote human health. By simply forming a far-infrared radiator along the direction of the blown air, far-infrared rays are emitted upon contact with the blown air, so no heat source equipment such as electric power is required to heat the entire radiation layer, resulting in economical and energy-saving effects. Due to the characteristics of far infrared rays and its cooperation with air conditioners, it can be used for air conditioning in building construction, general homes, and stores, as well as food storage, food processing rooms, breeding of animals, plants, and marine products, cultivation rooms, hospitals, and research. It has the characteristics of being suitable as air conditioning equipment in various rooms such as rooms and clean rooms.
