Description

本発明は、空気調和機に関する。  The present invention relates to an air conditioner.

生活水準の向上により、生活環境コントロールについての需要も高まっている。そのため、空気調和機の機能も単一の温度調節から多様化されている。多雨多湿地域や梅雨時期においては、空気の湿度が高く、人体に不快感を引き起こすことがある。この問題を解消する為、湿度制御機能付き空気調和機が開発された。  Due to the improvement of living standards, the demand for living environment control is also increasing. Therefore, the function of the air conditioner is diversified from single temperature control. In areas with heavy rain and rainy season, the humidity of the air is high, which may cause discomfort to the human body. In order to solve this problem, an air conditioner with a humidity control function was developed.

空気調和機の除湿は、通常、空気を表面温度が空気露点温度未満である熱交換器を通過させることで、空気を凝縮させて、空気中の水分を除去して除湿を完成する。上記除湿原理によると、熱交換器の表面温度が低いほど、除湿効果が優れていることが分かる。しかし、低温除湿を行った後、湿度を低下させることはできるが、空気の温度も降下されるので、例えば浴室等の除湿効果と温度が共に求められる環境においては、空気に対して除湿処理を行ってから加熱処理(以下、再熱とも呼ぶ)を行うことで快適感を維持しなければならない。  Dehumidification of an air conditioner normally completes dehumidification by passing air through a heat exchanger whose surface temperature is lower than the air dew point temperature to condense the air and remove moisture in the air. According to the dehumidification principle, the lower the surface temperature of the heat exchanger, the better the dehumidification effect. However, after performing low temperature dehumidification, the humidity can be reduced, but the temperature of the air is also lowered. For example, in an environment where both the dehumidifying effect and the temperature are required, such as in a bathroom, dehumidification is performed on the air. It is necessary to maintain a feeling of comfort by performing a heat treatment (hereinafter also referred to as reheating) after performing.

再熱除湿を実現するため、通常、図7に示すように、除湿熱交換器21Xの風路の下流に電気式加熱ユニット29Xを追加する構造を利用している。しかし、電気式加熱ユニットは、通常、電熱素子(例えば、電熱線等)によって電気エネルギーを熱エネルギーに変換して、空気が通過する時に熱を吸収して風の温度を上昇させるので、エネルギー消費が増加される。そして、電気式加熱ユニットによって変換された気流が均一に加熱されていないせいで温度のバラツキが出て、快適感を低下させる。  In order to realize reheat dehumidification, a structure in which an electric heating unit 29X is added downstream of the air path of the dehumidification heat exchanger 21X is usually used as shown in FIG. However, an electric heating unit usually converts electric energy into heat energy by an electric heating element (for example, a heating wire) and absorbs heat when the air passes to increase the temperature of the wind. Is increased. And since the airflow converted by the electric heating unit is not heated uniformly, the temperature varies and the feeling of comfort is lowered.

再熱除湿を実現するため、特許文献中国特許出願公開第1590890号明細書に開示された構造を採用することもでき、図8に示すように、除湿熱交換器21X1と再熱熱交換器22Xとを室内の冷媒回路に直列接続し、また、除湿熱交換器21X1と再熱熱交換器22Xとを風路に順に設けて、その間の管路にスロットル25Xを設ける。しかし、上記構造を用いて再熱除湿を行う場合、同じ部分の冷媒の熱量が先ず加熱に用いられて気流に奪われてから、冷房に用いられるので、除湿熱交換器21X1と再熱熱交換器22Xはいずれもその役割を十分に果たすことができなく、つまり、除湿が不十分であると共に、加熱量も不足である。  In order to realize reheat dehumidification, the structure disclosed in the patent document Chinese Patent Application No. 1590890 can also be adopted. As shown in FIG. 8, the dehumidification heat exchanger 21X1 and the reheat heat exchanger 22X are used. Are connected in series to an indoor refrigerant circuit, and a dehumidifying heat exchanger 21X1 and a reheat heat exchanger 22X are provided in that order in the air passage, and a throttle 25X is provided in a pipe line therebetween. However, when reheat dehumidification is performed using the above structure, the amount of heat of the refrigerant in the same part is first used for heating and taken away by the airflow, and then used for cooling, so reheat heat exchange with the dehumidification heat exchanger 21X1 None of the chambers 22X can sufficiently fulfill its role, that is, the dehumidification is insufficient and the heating amount is insufficient.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、室外ユニットと除湿再熱室内ユニットとを備え、除湿再熱室内ユニットが室内に提供する気流の温度のバラツキを回避でき、且つ、除湿再熱室内ユニットの除湿熱交換器と再熱熱交換器が役割を十分に果たすことのできる空気調和機を提供することをその目的とする。  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes an outdoor unit and a dehumidification / reheating indoor unit, can avoid variations in the temperature of the airflow provided to the room by the dehumidifying / reheating indoor unit, It is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner in which the dehumidifying heat exchanger and the reheat heat exchanger of the hot indoor unit can sufficiently fulfill their roles.

一方、除湿再熱室内ユニット200の再熱熱交換器22に搬送された冷媒は、再熱熱交換器22において室内ファン23によって取り込まれた室内空気と熱交換を行うことで、室内空気を冷却する。  On the other hand, the refrigerant conveyed to the reheat heat exchanger 22 of the dehumidification / reheat indoor unit 200 cools the room air by exchanging heat with the room air taken in by the indoor fan 23 in the reheat heat exchanger 22. To do.

除湿熱交換器21において室内空気と熱交換を行った後の冷媒と、再熱熱交換器22において室内空気と熱交換を行った後の冷媒は、室外ユニット100''に搬送されて図3中の点K6において合流し、その後、液体貯蔵タンク14を経て圧縮機11に戻る。  The refrigerant after heat exchange with the room air in the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 and the refrigerant after heat exchange with the room air in the reheat heat exchanger 22 are conveyed to the outdoor unit 100 ″ and transferred to FIG. They merge at the middle point K6, and then return to the compressor 11 via the liquid storage tank 14.

本実施形態の空気調和機1Bによると、制御ユニットによって第1モードに切り換えられて、上記実施形態2と同様に、除湿熱交換器21と再熱熱交換器22とが凝縮器の役割を果たして室内空気を加熱することができる。従って、空気調和機全体の効率を向上させる。  According to the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment, the control unit switches to the first mode, and the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 and the reheat heat exchanger 22 serve as a condenser as in the second embodiment. Indoor air can be heated. Therefore, the efficiency of the whole air conditioner is improved.

そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bによると、制御ユニットによって第3モードに切り換えられて、上記実施形態1と同様に、除湿再熱室内ユニット200の除湿熱交換器21を用いて室内ファン23によって取り込まれた室内空気を除湿すると共に、除湿再熱室内ユニット200の再熱熱交換器22を用いて室内ファン23によって取り込まれた室内空気を再熱することができる。従って、室内ファンによって形成される風路における除湿熱交換器の下流に電気加熱ユニットを追加する構造に比べ、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bによると、エネルギー消費を削減し、除湿再熱室内ユニットが室内に供給する空気の温度のバラツキを回避でき、室内の快適感を高めることができる。そして、室内の冷媒回路に直列接続される除湿熱交換器と再熱熱交換器とを室内ファンによって形成される風路に順に設ける構造に比べ、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bによると、除湿熱交換器と再熱熱交換器がいずれも十分な役割を果たすことができ、除湿の不十分や加熱量の不足を避けることができる。そして、室外ユニットによって大気へ排出される一部の廃熱を再熱熱交換器に用いることによって、廃熱の利用を実現し、エネルギー消費効率を向上させ、省エネ・環境保護を実現できる。  And according to the air conditioner 1B of this embodiment, it is switched to the third mode by the control unit, and the indoor fan 23 using the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 of the dehumidifying / reheating indoor unit 200 as in the first embodiment. It is possible to dehumidify the room air taken in by the indoor fan 23 and reheat the room air taken in by the indoor fan 23 using the reheat heat exchanger 22 of the dehumidification / reheat indoor unit 200. Therefore, compared to a structure in which an electric heating unit is added downstream of the dehumidifying heat exchanger in the air path formed by the indoor fan, the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment reduces energy consumption and dehumidifies and reheats the indoor unit. Variation in the temperature of the air supplied to the room can be avoided and the comfort in the room can be enhanced. Compared with the structure in which the dehumidifying heat exchanger and the reheat heat exchanger connected in series to the indoor refrigerant circuit are sequentially provided in the air path formed by the indoor fan, the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment dehumidifies. Both the heat exchanger and the reheat heat exchanger can play a sufficient role, and inadequate dehumidification and insufficient heating amount can be avoided. By using a part of the waste heat discharged to the atmosphere by the outdoor unit in the reheat heat exchanger, the use of the waste heat can be realized, energy consumption efficiency can be improved, and energy saving and environmental protection can be realized.

そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bは、第1モードで一定時間にわたって運転した後、室外ユニット100''に結霜が出来て、システムの効率を低下させる。しかし、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bにおいて、第1モードで一定時間にわたって運転した後、除湿熱交換器21が蒸発器の役割を果たし、再熱熱交換器22が凝縮器の役割を果たす第3モードに切り換えして除霜処理を行うか、又は除湿熱交換器21と再熱熱交換器22がともに蒸発器の役割を果たす第4モード(以下、第3モードと第4モードとを除霜モードと称し、第3モードを第1の除霜モードと、第4モードを第2の除霜モードと称することもある)に切り換えすることができる。そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bが第2の除霜モードに切り換えられて除霜処理を行う時、室内ファン23の運転が停止されるので、室内の温度が低下して不快感を生じることを避けることができ、一方、これには限定されず、除湿熱交換器21と再熱熱交換器22とが蒸発器として除霜処理を行う時に、室内ファン23を低速で運転させて、室内に弱い気流を提供することもできる。そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bが第1の除霜モードに切り換えられて除霜処理を行う時、除湿熱交換器21を蒸発器として、再熱熱交換器22を凝縮器とすると、除霜速度が第2の除霜モードより遅いが、再熱熱交換器22が再加熱の役割を果たしているので、室内ファン23が継続して運転しても、室内に冷風を吐出することなく、恒温除霜を実現できる。  And the air conditioner 1B of this embodiment can form frost in outdoor unit 100 '' after driving | running over a fixed time in 1st mode, and reduces the efficiency of a system. However, in the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment, after operating for a certain time in the first mode, the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 serves as an evaporator, and the reheat heat exchanger 22 serves as a condenser. The defrosting process is performed by switching to the third mode, or the fourth mode (hereinafter, the third mode and the fourth mode are excluded) in which both the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 and the reheat heat exchanger 22 serve as an evaporator. The frost mode may be referred to, and the third mode may be switched to the first defrost mode and the fourth mode may be referred to as the second defrost mode). And when the air conditioner 1B of this embodiment switches to 2nd defrost mode and performs a defrost process, since the driving | operation of the indoor fan 23 is stopped, indoor temperature falls and it produces discomfort. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the dehumidifying heat exchanger 21 and the reheat heat exchanger 22 perform the defrosting process as an evaporator, the indoor fan 23 is operated at a low speed, It is also possible to provide a weak air flow in the room. And when the air conditioner 1B of this embodiment is switched to the 1st defrost mode and performs a defrost process, if the dehumidification heat exchanger 21 is made into an evaporator and the reheat heat exchanger 22 is made into a condenser, Although the defrosting speed is slower than the second defrosting mode, the reheat heat exchanger 22 plays a role of reheating, so even if the indoor fan 23 continues to operate, the cool air is not discharged into the room. Constant temperature defrosting can be realized.

そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bにおいて、制御ユニットは、設けられたセンサー(例えば、除湿再熱室内ユニット200に設けられた室内の温度、吐出風の温度又は熱交換の温度を検出するための温度センサーや室内の湿度又は吐出風の湿度を検出するための湿度センサー、室外ユニット100''に設けられた室外の温度又は熱交換の温度を検出するための温度センサー)により収集したデータ又は利用者が設定したパラメータに基づいて、除霜モードに移行又は退出する必要があるか否か、及び、第1の除霜モード又は第2の除霜モードに移行する必要があるか否かを判定する。  In the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment, the control unit detects the temperature of the sensor (for example, the temperature of the room provided in the dehumidification / reheating indoor unit 200, the temperature of the discharge air, or the heat exchange). Data collected by a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor for detecting the humidity of the room or the discharge air, a temperature sensor for detecting an outdoor temperature or a heat exchange temperature provided in the outdoor unit 100 ″) or Based on the parameters set by the user, whether or not it is necessary to shift or exit to the defrosting mode and whether or not it is necessary to shift to the first defrosting mode or the second defrosting mode. judge.

そして、本実施形態の空気調和機1Bにおいて、制御ユニットにコマンドを予め設定して、第1モードで一定時間にわたって運転した後に除霜モードに移行し、他の一定時間にわたって運転してから除霜モードから退出するようにすることができる。例えば、第1モードで運転する場合、30分間隔で除霜モードに切り換えし、1分間運転してから再び第1モードに切り換えするように設定することができる。  In the air conditioner 1B of the present embodiment, a command is set in the control unit in advance, the operation is performed in the first mode for a certain period of time, then the defrosting mode is performed, and the operation is performed for another certain period of time before the defrosting is performed. You can leave the mode. For example, when operating in the first mode, it can be set to switch to the defrost mode at intervals of 30 minutes, operate for 1 minute, and then switch back to the first mode.
