After the indoor air passes through the exhaust fan 15, it is exhausted to the outdoors via the desiccant rotor 13 and the total heat exchanger 11.
 全熱交換器11は、紙等からなり、自身を通過するエアと排気との間で熱及び湿気を交換する。
 第1冷却コイル12には、冷凍機40が接続されている。第1冷却コイル12は、通過するエアの温度を下げることで顕熱処理も行うが、潜熱処理、すなわち、湿気の除去を主に行うものである。具体的には、第1冷却コイル12は、冷凍機40で冷却された冷却水とエアとの間で熱交換をした熱媒(流体)を循環させることによって流通エアとの熱交換を行う。
The total heat exchanger 11 is made of paper or the like, and exchanges heat and moisture between air passing through itself and exhaust.

 まず、制御装置30の算出部313は、取得部312が温度計51や、第1湿度計52や、図示しない室内の温度計、湿度計から取得した情報を基に、外気のエンタルピ及び室内のエンタルピ(=還気のエンタルピ)といった各種エンタルピを算出する(S101)。以下、外気のエンタルピを外気エンタルピと称し、室内のエンタルピ(=還気のエンタルピ)を還気エンタルピと称する。

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a route control processing procedure in the control device of the desiccant air conditioning system according to the first embodiment. Reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 2 as appropriate. 4 to 7 are diagrams showing air paths in the desiccant air conditioning system according to the first embodiment. 4 to 7 are the same as those in FIG. 1, description of each element is omitted.
First, the calculation unit 313 of the control device 30 uses the information acquired by the acquisition unit 312 from the thermometer 51, the first hygrometer 52, an indoor thermometer and a hygrometer (not shown), Various enthalpies such as enthalpy (= return enthalpy) are calculated (S101). Hereinafter, the enthalpy of outside air is referred to as outside air enthalpy, and the indoor enthalpy (= enthalpy of return air) is referred to as return air enthalpy.
 次に、制御装置30の算出部313は、取得部312が温度計51や、第1湿度計52から得た湿度の情報と温度情報等から、外気の絶対湿度(外気絶対湿度)を算出する(S102)。以下、外気の絶対湿度を外気絶対湿度と称する。 Next, the calculation unit 313 of the control device 30 calculates the absolute humidity of the outside air (outside air absolute humidity) from the humidity information and temperature information obtained by the acquisition unit 312 from the thermometer 51 and the first hygrometer 52. (S102). Hereinafter, the absolute humidity of the outside air is referred to as the outside air absolute humidity.
 続いて、制御装置30の判定部314は、外気絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口に要求される絶対湿度(以下、要求絶対湿度と称する)より高いか否かを判定する(S111)。要求絶対湿度は予め手入力で制御装置30に入力設定されている値である。
 ステップS111で、外気絶対湿度が要求絶対湿度以下の場合(S111→No)、制御装置30のダンパ制御部315は第1ダンパ16a及び第3ダンパ16cを閉じるとともに、第2ダンパ16b及び第4ダンパ16dを開き(S112)、処理部311は処理を終了する。このとき、ダンパ制御部315は第3ダンパ16cを全閉とし、第4ダンパ16dを全開とする。これにより、エアは、図4における太線の矢印に示すように、第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→第2バイパス経路17cの順に送られる。つまり、外気絶対湿度が、要求絶対湿度以下の場合、外気を除湿する必要がないので、エアは、全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13を介さない。なお、この場合の第1冷却コイル12は、主にエアの温度を下げる役割を有する。
Subsequently, the determination unit 314 of the control device 30 determines whether or not the outdoor air absolute humidity is higher than the absolute humidity required at the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10 (hereinafter, referred to as required absolute humidity) (S111). The required absolute humidity is a value that is manually input to the control device 30 in advance.
In step S111, when the outside absolute humidity is equal to or lower than the required absolute humidity (S111 → No), the damper control unit 315 of the control device 30 closes the first damper 16a and the third damper 16c, and the second damper 16b and the fourth damper. 16d is opened (S112), and the processing unit 311 ends the process. At this time, the damper control unit 315 fully closes the third damper 16c and fully opens the fourth damper 16d. As a result, the air is sent in the order of the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the second bypass path 17c, as indicated by the thick arrow in FIG. That is, when the outside air absolute humidity is equal to or lower than the required absolute humidity, it is not necessary to dehumidify the outside air, so that air does not pass through the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13. In this case, the first cooling coil 12 mainly has a role of lowering the temperature of the air.
 また、ステップS111で、外気絶対湿度が要求絶対湿度より高い場合(S111→Yes)、制御装置30の判定部314は、外気エンタルピが還気エンタルピより低いか否かを判定する(S121)。
 ステップS121で、外気エンタルピが還気エンタルピ以上の場合(S121→No)、制御装置30のダンパ制御部315は第1ダンパ16a及び第3ダンパ16cを開くとともに、第2ダンパ16b及び第4ダンパ16dを閉じ(S122)、処理部311は処理を終了する。このとき、ダンパ制御部315は第3ダンパ16cを全開とし、第4ダンパ16dを全閉とする。これにより、エアは、図5における太線の矢印に示すように、全熱交換器11→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13の順に送られる。つまり、ステップS121で「No」の場合は、外気の絶対湿度及びエンタルピが高い状態であるので、制御装置30は、全熱交換器11、第1冷却コイル12及びデシカントロータ13を用いて十分な除湿を行う。
When the outside absolute humidity is higher than the required absolute humidity in step S111 (S111 → Yes), the determination unit 314 of the control device 30 determines whether the outside air enthalpy is lower than the return air enthalpy (S121).
In step S121, when the outside air enthalpy is equal to or greater than the return air enthalpy (S121 → No), the damper control unit 315 of the control device 30 opens the first damper 16a and the third damper 16c, and the second damper 16b and the fourth damper 16d. Is closed (S122), and the processing unit 311 ends the processing. At this time, the damper control unit 315 fully opens the third damper 16c and fully closes the fourth damper 16d. As a result, the air is sent in the order of the total heat exchanger 11 → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 as indicated by the thick arrows in FIG. That is, in the case of “No” in step S121, since the absolute humidity and enthalpy of the outside air are high, the control device 30 is sufficient using the total heat exchanger 11, the first cooling coil 12, and the desiccant rotor 13. Dehumidify.
 ステップS121で、外気エンタルピが還気エンタルピより低い場合(S121→Yes)、制御装置30の判定部314は、外気絶対湿度が定格運転時における第1冷却コイル12の出口における絶対湿度(冷却コイル出口絶対湿度)より低いか否かを判定する(S131)。冷却コイル出口絶対湿度は、第1冷却コイル12が定格運転を行っているときに第2湿度計53から取得される値でもよいし、予め手入力で制御装置30に入力設定されている値でもよい。ここで、第1冷却コイル12の出口における絶対湿度が境界条件となっているのは、デシカントロータ13の除湿能力を境界条件とするためである。言い換えれば、デシカントロータ13の除湿能力を境界条件とするために、第1冷却コイル12の出口における絶対湿度を境界条件としている。 In step S121, when the outside air enthalpy is lower than the return air enthalpy (S121 → Yes), the determination unit 314 of the control device 30 determines the absolute humidity at the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 during the rated operation (cooling coil outlet). It is determined whether it is lower than (absolute humidity) (S131). The cooling coil outlet absolute humidity may be a value acquired from the second hygrometer 53 when the first cooling coil 12 is performing a rated operation, or may be a value input and set in the control device 30 by manual input in advance. Good. Here, the absolute humidity at the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 is a boundary condition because the dehumidifying ability of the desiccant rotor 13 is the boundary condition. In other words, in order to use the dehumidifying capacity of the desiccant rotor 13 as a boundary condition, the absolute humidity at the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 is used as the boundary condition.
 ステップS131で、外気絶対湿度が冷却コイル出口絶対湿度以上の場合(S131→No)、制御装置30のダンパ制御部315は第1ダンパ16a及び第4ダンパ16dを閉じ、第2ダンパ16b及び第3ダンパ16cを開く(S132)。その後、処理部311は処理を終了する。このとき、ダンパ制御部315は第3ダンパ16cを全開とし、第4ダンパ16dを全閉とする。これにより、エアは、図6における太線の矢印に示すように、第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13の順に送られる。つまり、ステップS131で「No」の場合は、制御装置30は、全熱交換器11を用いず、第1冷却コイル12、デシカントロータ13を用いて除湿を行う。 In step S131, when the outside air absolute humidity is equal to or higher than the cooling coil outlet absolute humidity (S131 → No), the damper control unit 315 of the control device 30 closes the first damper 16a and the fourth damper 16d, and the second damper 16b and the third damper 16b. The damper 16c is opened (S132). Thereafter, the processing unit 311 ends the processing. At this time, the damper control unit 315 fully opens the third damper 16c and fully closes the fourth damper 16d. As a result, the air is sent in the order of the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 as indicated by the thick arrows in FIG. That is, in the case of “No” in step S <b> 131, the control device 30 performs dehumidification using the first cooling coil 12 and the desiccant rotor 13 without using the total heat exchanger 11.
 ステップS131で、外気絶対湿度が冷却コイル出口絶対湿度より低い場合(S131→Yes)、制御装置30のダンパ制御部315は第1ダンパ16aを閉じ、第2ダンパ16bを開き、第3ダンパ16c及び第4ダンパ16dを所定の開度で開く(S141)。その後、処理部311は処理を終了する。これにより、エアは図7における太線の矢印に示すように、第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13及び第2バイパス経路17cの順に送られる。なお、デシカントロータ13及び第2バイパス経路17cを通過するエアの量は、第3ダンパ16c及び第4ダンパ16dの開度に応じて所定の流量となる。
 例えば、外気の絶対湿度が小さいほど(要求絶対湿度に近いほど)、ダンパ制御部315は第3ダンパ16cの開度を小さくし、第4ダンパ16dの開度を大きくする。逆に、外気の絶対湿度が大きいほど(冷却コイル出口絶対湿度に近いほど)、ダンパ制御部315は第3ダンパ16cの開度を大きくし、第4ダンパ16dの開度を小さくする。
In step S131, when the outside air absolute humidity is lower than the cooling coil outlet absolute humidity (S131 → Yes), the damper control unit 315 of the control device 30 closes the first damper 16a, opens the second damper 16b, opens the third damper 16c, and The fourth damper 16d is opened at a predetermined opening (S141). Thereafter, the processing unit 311 ends the processing. As a result, the air is sent in the order of the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 and the second bypass path 17c as shown by the thick arrows in FIG. The amount of air passing through the desiccant rotor 13 and the second bypass path 17c becomes a predetermined flow rate according to the opening degree of the third damper 16c and the fourth damper 16d.
For example, as the absolute humidity of the outside air is smaller (closer to the required absolute humidity), the damper control unit 315 decreases the opening of the third damper 16c and increases the opening of the fourth damper 16d. Conversely, as the absolute humidity of the outside air increases (closer to the cooling coil outlet absolute humidity), the damper control unit 315 increases the opening of the third damper 16c and decreases the opening of the fourth damper 16d.
 以降、エアは、デシカント外調機10の出口において、室内からの還気と混合された後、第2冷却コイル21にて顕熱処理されることで温度を下げられ、第2給気ファン22によって室内へ供給される。 Thereafter, the air is mixed with the return air from the room at the outlet of the desiccant air conditioner 10, and then the temperature is lowered by sensible heat treatment in the second cooling coil 21. Supplied indoors.

[遷移図]
 以下、図9~図12を参照して、外気の状態が図8に示される各領域801~804であった場合において、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1におけるエアの状態の遷移を説明する。
 なお、図9~図12における空気線図、領域801~804及び線L1~L3は図8に示すものと同一であるので、ここでの説明を省略する。
[Transition diagram]
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12, the transition of the air state in the desiccant air-conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment when the state of the outside air is the respective regions 801 to 804 shown in FIG. 8 will be described. .
Note that the air diagram, regions 801 to 804, and lines L1 to L3 in FIGS. 9 to 12 are the same as those shown in FIG. 8, and a description thereof will be omitted here.
(外気が領域801の状態である場合)
 図9は、外気の状態が領域801に示す領域にある場合を示す状態遷移図であり、図3のステップS111で「No」が判定された場合に相当する。
 つまり、外気が点901で示される状態であったとすると、図4における太線の矢印に示されるように、エアは第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→第2バイパス経路17cの順に送られる。まず、エアは、第1冷却コイル12において、温度を下げられるため点901から点902の状態に遷移する。なお、この場合、第1冷却コイル12では、顕熱処理のみが行われる。
(When the outside air is in the state of the region 801)
FIG. 9 is a state transition diagram illustrating a case where the state of the outside air is in the region indicated by region 801, and corresponds to the case where “No” is determined in step S111 of FIG.
That is, if the outside air is in the state indicated by the point 901, the air is sent in the order of the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the second bypass path 17c, as indicated by the thick arrow in FIG. . First, in the first cooling coil 12, the air transitions from a point 901 to a point 902 because the temperature can be lowered. In this case, only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the first cooling coil 12.
 そして、デシカント外調機10の出口において、エアは、点903の状態(図8の点811と同じ状態)にある還気と混合して点904の状態となる。さらに、エアは、内調機20における第2冷却コイル21によって温度を下げられ点905の状態となって、室内に給気される。すなわち、第2冷却コイル21では顕熱処理のみが行われる。 Then, at the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10, the air is mixed with the return air in the state of the point 903 (the same state as the point 811 in FIG. 8) to be in the state of the point 904. Further, the temperature of the air is lowered by the second cooling coil 21 in the internal air conditioner 20 to a state of a point 905, and the air is supplied into the room. That is, only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the second cooling coil 21.
 領域801のように、エンタルピ及び絶対湿度が十分低い場合において、除湿を行う必要がない。このような場合、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1は、全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13を使用しないことにより、圧力損失が低くなり無駄なエネルギロスをなくすことができる。 When the enthalpy and absolute humidity are sufficiently low as in the area 801, it is not necessary to perform dehumidification. In such a case, the desiccant air-conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment does not use the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13, thereby reducing pressure loss and eliminating wasteful energy loss.
(外気が領域802の状態である場合)
 図10は、外気の状態が領域802に示す領域にある場合を示す状態遷移図であり、図3のステップS121で「No」が判定された場合に相当する。
 つまり、外気が点1001で示される状態であったとすると、図5における太線の矢印に示されるように、エアは全熱交換器11→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13の順に送られる。
 まず、エアは、全熱交換器11によって温度及び絶対湿度を下げられ、点1002の状態に遷移する。さらに、エアは第1冷却コイル12によって、温度及び絶対湿度をさらに下げられ、点1003の状態に遷移する。
(When outside air is in the state of the region 802)
FIG. 10 is a state transition diagram showing a case where the state of the outside air is in the region indicated by region 802, which corresponds to the case where “No” is determined in step S121 of FIG.
In other words, if the outside air is in the state indicated by the point 1001, the air is sent in the order of the total heat exchanger 11 → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 as indicated by the thick arrow in FIG.
First, the temperature of the air is lowered by the total heat exchanger 11, and the air transitions to the state of the point 1002. Further, the air is further lowered in temperature and absolute humidity by the first cooling coil 12, and transitions to the state of the point 1003.
 次に、エアはデシカントロータ13を通過することで、絶対湿度がさらに下げられ、点1004の状態に遷移する。なお、デシカントロータ13で潜熱処理される際に、凝縮熱が放出されるため、デシカントロータ13通過後の点1004の温度は、点1003の温度より高くなっている。 Next, when the air passes through the desiccant rotor 13, the absolute humidity is further lowered, and the state transitions to the state of the point 1004. In addition, since the heat of condensation is released when the latent heat treatment is performed by the desiccant rotor 13, the temperature of the point 1004 after passing through the desiccant rotor 13 is higher than the temperature of the point 1003.
 そして、デシカント外調機10の出口において、エアは、点1005の状態(図8の点811と同じ状態)にある還気と混合して点1006の状態となる。さらに、エアは、内調機20における第2冷却コイル21によって温度を下げられ点1007の状態となって、室内に給気される。すなわち、第2冷却コイル21では顕熱処理のみが行われる。 Then, at the outlet of the desiccant air conditioner 10, the air is mixed with the return air in the state of the point 1005 (the same state as the point 811 in FIG. 8) to be in the state of the point 1006. Further, the temperature of the air is lowered by the second cooling coil 21 in the internal air conditioner 20 to a state of a point 1007, and the air is supplied into the room. That is, only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the second cooling coil 21.
 このように、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1は、外気のエンタルピ及び絶対湿度が十分高い場合、全熱交換器11、冷却コイル12及びデシカントロータ13による除湿を行う。このようにすることで、デシカント空調システム1は、第1冷却コイル12の温度を必要以上に下げることがなくなるため、通常の冷却除湿のみの場合に比べて冷水温度を高く設定できるので冷凍機40のCOP(Coefficient Of Performance;成績係数)を向上させることができる。 As described above, the desiccant air conditioning system 1 according to this embodiment performs dehumidification by the total heat exchanger 11, the cooling coil 12, and the desiccant rotor 13 when the enthalpy and absolute humidity of the outside air are sufficiently high. By doing in this way, since the desiccant air conditioning system 1 does not lower the temperature of the first cooling coil 12 more than necessary, the chiller 40 can be set at a higher chilled water temperature than in the case of only ordinary cooling and dehumidification. COP (Coefficient Of Performance) can be improved.
(外気が領域803の状態である場合)
 図11は、外気の状態が領域803に示す領域にある場合を示す状態遷移図であり、図3のステップS131で「No」が判定された場合に相当する。
 つまり、外気が点1101で示される状態であったとすると、図6における太線の矢印に示されるように、エアは第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13の順に送られる。
 まず、エアは、第1冷却コイル12によって、温度及び絶対湿度を下げられ、点1102の状態に遷移する。
(When the outside air is in the state of the region 803)
FIG. 11 is a state transition diagram illustrating a case where the state of the outside air is in the region indicated by region 803, which corresponds to the case where “No” is determined in step S131 of FIG.
In other words, if the outside air is in the state indicated by the point 1101, the air is sent in the order of the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 as indicated by the thick arrow in FIG.
First, the air is lowered in temperature and absolute humidity by the first cooling coil 12, and transitions to the state of the point 1102.
 次に、エアはデシカントロータ13を通過することで、絶対湿度がさらに下げられ、点1103の状態に遷移する。なお、デシカントロータ13で潜熱処理される際に、凝縮熱が放出されるため、デシカントロータ13通過後の点1103の温度は、点1102の温度より高くなっている。 Next, when the air passes through the desiccant rotor 13, the absolute humidity is further lowered, and the state transitions to the state of the point 1103. In addition, since heat of condensation is released when the latent heat treatment is performed by the desiccant rotor 13, the temperature of the point 1103 after passing through the desiccant rotor 13 is higher than the temperature of the point 1102.
 そして、デシカント外調機10の出口において、エアは、点1104の状態(図8の点811と同じ状態)にある還気と混合して点1105の状態となる。さらに、エアは、内調機20における第2冷却コイル21によって温度を下げられ点1106の状態となって、室内に給気される。すなわち、第2冷却コイル21では顕熱処理のみが行われる。 Then, at the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10, the air is mixed with the return air in the state of the point 1104 (the same state as the point 811 in FIG. 8) and becomes the state of the point 1105. Further, the temperature of the air is lowered by the second cooling coil 21 in the internal air conditioner 20 to a state of a point 1106, and the air is supplied into the room. That is, only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the second cooling coil 21.
 外気が領域803の状態である場合、室内側のエンタルピが外気のエンタルピより高い状態である。従って、全熱交換器11によってエンタルピを交換してしまうと、エアのエンタルピが上昇してしまい、本来必要のないエンタルピの下降処理が必要となってしまう。図6に示すように、全熱交換器11をエアが介さないことで、不要なエンタルピの下降処理を避けることができ、デシカント空調システム1の効率を向上させることができる。 When the outside air is in the region 803, the indoor enthalpy is higher than the enthalpy of the outside air. Therefore, if the enthalpy is replaced by the total heat exchanger 11, the enthalpy of the air rises, and the enthalpy lowering process that is not necessary originally becomes necessary. As shown in FIG. 6, since air does not pass through the total heat exchanger 11, unnecessary enthalpy lowering processing can be avoided, and the efficiency of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 can be improved.
(外気が領域804の状態である場合)
 図12は、外気の状態が領域804に示す領域にある場合を示す状態遷移図であり、図3のステップS131で「Yes」が判定された場合に相当する。
 つまり、外気が点1201で示される状態であったとすると、図7における太線の矢印に示されるように、エアは第1バイパス経路17b→第1冷却コイル12→デシカントロータ13及び第2バイパス経路17cの順に送られる。なお、前記したように、エアの一部はデシカントロータ13を通過し、残りは第2バイパス経路17cを通過する。
(When the outside air is in the state of the region 804)
FIG. 12 is a state transition diagram illustrating a case where the state of the outside air is in the region indicated by region 804, and corresponds to the case where “Yes” is determined in step S131 of FIG.
In other words, if the outside air is in the state indicated by the point 1201, the air flows from the first bypass path 17b → the first cooling coil 12 → the desiccant rotor 13 and the second bypass path 17c as shown by the thick arrows in FIG. Sent in the order. As described above, a part of the air passes through the desiccant rotor 13 and the rest passes through the second bypass path 17c.
 まず、エアは、第1冷却コイル12によって、温度を下げられ、点1202の状態に遷移する。なお、第1冷却コイル12では、顕熱処理のみが行われる。 First, the temperature of the air is lowered by the first cooling coil 12, and the air transitions to the state of the point 1202. Note that only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the first cooling coil 12.
 次に、エアの一部はデシカントロータ13を通過することで、絶対湿度がさらに下げられ、点1203の状態に遷移する。なお、デシカントロータ13で潜熱処理される際に、凝縮熱が放出されるため、デシカントロータ13通過後の点1203の温度は、点1202の温度より高くなっている。
 そして、デシカントロータ13を通過したエア(点1203)は、第2バイパス経路17cを通過したエア(状態は点1202のまま)と混合することで、点1204の状態となる。
Next, a part of the air passes through the desiccant rotor 13, whereby the absolute humidity is further lowered, and the state transitions to a point 1203. In addition, since heat of condensation is released when the latent heat treatment is performed by the desiccant rotor 13, the temperature of the point 1203 after passing through the desiccant rotor 13 is higher than the temperature of the point 1202.
And the air (point 1203) which passed the desiccant rotor 13 will be in the state of a point 1204 by mixing with the air which passed the 2nd bypass path | route 17c (a state remains the point 1202).
 続いて、デシカント外調機10の出口において、エアは、点1205の状態(図8の点811と同じ状態)にある還気と混合して点1206の状態となる。さらに、エアは、内調機20における第2冷却コイル21によって温度を下げられ点1207の状態となって、室内に給気される。すなわち、第2冷却コイル21では顕熱処理のみが行われる。 Subsequently, at the outlet of the desiccant air conditioner 10, the air is mixed with the return air in the state of the point 1205 (the same state as the point 811 in FIG. 8) and becomes the state of the point 1206. Further, the temperature of the air is lowered by the second cooling coil 21 in the internal air conditioner 20 to a state of a point 1207, and the air is supplied into the room. That is, only the sensible heat treatment is performed in the second cooling coil 21.
 外気が領域804の状態である場合、外気の絶対湿度は比較的低い状態である。このような場合、すべてのエアをデシカントロータ13に通過させてしまうと、必要以上にエアが低湿度となってしまう可能性がある。本実施形態によれば、すべてのエアをデシカントロータ13に通過させないことにより、必要以上の除湿を避けることができ、かつ圧力損失が下げられ、エネルギ的に効率的な運転が可能となる。 When the outside air is in the region 804, the absolute humidity of the outside air is relatively low. In such a case, if all the air is allowed to pass through the desiccant rotor 13, there is a possibility that the air has a lower humidity than necessary. According to the present embodiment, by not allowing all the air to pass through the desiccant rotor 13, it is possible to avoid excessive dehumidification, reduce the pressure loss, and enable an energy efficient operation.
[第1実施形態のまとめ]
 第1実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1における制御装置30は、外気のエンタルピ及び絶対湿度の状態に応じて、メイン経路17a、第1バイパス経路17b及び第2バイパス経路17cを通過するエアの制御を行う。このようにすることで、外気のエンタルピ及び湿度に応じた、効率的なデシカント空調システム1の制御が可能となる。
[Summary of First Embodiment]
The control device 30 in the desiccant air conditioning system 1 according to the first embodiment controls the air passing through the main path 17a, the first bypass path 17b, and the second bypass path 17c in accordance with the enthalpy and absolute humidity state of the outside air. Do. By doing in this way, control of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 according to the enthalpy and humidity of external air becomes possible efficiently.
 また、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1の制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口(すなわち、デシカントロータ13の出口)に要求される絶対湿度より低い場合、エアが全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13を迂回するよう第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。外気がこのような状態であると、エンタルピ及び絶対湿度が十分低い状態であるので、除湿を行う必要がない。従って、外気がこのような状態であるときに、制御装置30が全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13を使用しないよう制御することにより、無駄なエネルギロスをなくすことができる。 Further, the control device 30 of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment allows the air to flow when the absolute humidity of the outside air is lower than the absolute humidity required for the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10 (that is, the outlet of the desiccant rotor 13). The first switch (first damper 16a and second damper 16b) and the second switch (third damper 16c and fourth damper 16d) are controlled to bypass the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13. When the outside air is in such a state, the enthalpy and the absolute humidity are sufficiently low, and it is not necessary to perform dehumidification. Therefore, when the outside air is in such a state, the control device 30 performs control so that the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13 are not used, so that useless energy loss can be eliminated.
 さらに、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1の制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口(すなわち、デシカントロータ13の出口)に要求される絶対湿度より高く、外気のエンタルピが還気のエンタルピより高い場合、エアが全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13を通過するよう第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。外気がこのような状態であると、エンタルピ及び絶対湿度が高い状態であるので、十分な除湿を行う必要がある。従って、外気がこのような状態であるときに、制御装置30が全熱交換器11及びデシカントロータ13による除湿を行うことで、第1冷却コイル12の温度を必要以上に下げることがなくなる。従って、第1冷却コイル12を冷却している冷凍機40のCOPを向上させることができる。 Furthermore, the control device 30 of the desiccant air-conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment has a higher absolute humidity than the absolute humidity required for the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10 (that is, the outlet of the desiccant rotor 13). Is higher than the return enthalpy, the first switch (first damper 16a, second damper 16b) and the second switch (third damper) so that the air passes through the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13. 16c, the fourth damper 16d) is controlled. When the outside air is in such a state, the enthalpy and the absolute humidity are in a high state. Therefore, it is necessary to perform sufficient dehumidification. Therefore, when the outside air is in such a state, the controller 30 performs dehumidification by the total heat exchanger 11 and the desiccant rotor 13, so that the temperature of the first cooling coil 12 is not lowered more than necessary. Accordingly, the COP of the refrigerator 40 that is cooling the first cooling coil 12 can be improved.
 また、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1の制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口(すなわち、デシカントロータ13の出口)に要求される絶対湿度より高く、外気のエンタルピが還気のエンタルピより低く、外気の絶対湿度が定格運転時における第1冷却コイル12の出口の絶対湿度より高い場合、エアが全熱交換器11を迂回し、デシカントロータ13を通過するよう第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。外気がこのような状態である場合、室内側のエンタルピが外気のエンタルピより高い状態である。従って、全熱交換器11によってエンタルピを交換してしまうと、エアのエンタルピが上昇してしまい、本来必要のないエンタルピの下降処理が必要となってしまう。本実施形態では、外気がこのような状態である場合、全熱交換器11をエアが迂回するようにすることで、不要なエンタルピの下降処理を避けることができ、デシカント空調システム1の効率を向上させることができる。 Further, the control device 30 of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment has a higher absolute humidity of the outside air than the absolute humidity required at the outlet of the desiccant air conditioner 10 (that is, the outlet of the desiccant rotor 13). Is lower than the return air enthalpy and the absolute humidity of the outside air is higher than the absolute humidity at the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 during rated operation, the air bypasses the total heat exchanger 11 and passes through the desiccant rotor 13. 1 switch (the 1st damper 16a, the 2nd damper 16b) and the 2nd switch (the 3rd damper 16c, the 4th damper 16d) are controlled. When the outside air is in such a state, the indoor enthalpy is higher than the enthalpy of the outside air. Therefore, if the enthalpy is replaced by the total heat exchanger 11, the enthalpy of the air rises, and the enthalpy lowering process that is not necessary originally becomes necessary. In the present embodiment, when the outside air is in such a state, by making the air bypass the total heat exchanger 11, unnecessary enthalpy lowering processing can be avoided, and the efficiency of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 can be improved. Can be improved.
 そして、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1の制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口(すなわち、デシカントロータ13の出口)に要求される絶対湿度より高く、外気のエンタルピが還気のエンタルピより低く、外気の絶対湿度が定格運転時における第1冷却コイル12の出口の絶対湿度より低い場合、エアが全熱交換器11を迂回し、エアの一部がデシカントロータ13を通過するよう第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。外気がこのような状態である場合、外気の絶対湿度は比較的低い状態である。このような場合、すべてのエアをデシカントロータ13に通過させてしまうと、必要以上にエアが低湿度となってしまう可能性がある。本実施形態では、外気がこのような状態である場合、すべてのエアをデシカントロータ13に通過させないことにより、必要以上の除湿を避けることができる。 And the control apparatus 30 of the desiccant air conditioning system 1 which concerns on this embodiment has the absolute humidity of external air higher than the absolute humidity requested | required by the exit (namely, exit of the desiccant rotor 13) of the desiccant air conditioner 10, and the enthalpy of external air Is lower than the enthalpy of the return air and the absolute humidity of the outside air is lower than the absolute humidity of the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 during rated operation, the air bypasses the total heat exchanger 11 and a part of the air is the desiccant rotor 13. The first switch (the first damper 16a and the second damper 16b) and the second switch (the third damper 16c and the fourth damper 16d) are controlled to pass through. When the outside air is in such a state, the absolute humidity of the outside air is relatively low. In such a case, if all the air is allowed to pass through the desiccant rotor 13, there is a possibility that the air has a lower humidity than necessary. In the present embodiment, when the outside air is in such a state, it is possible to avoid excessive dehumidification by not allowing all the air to pass through the desiccant rotor 13.
 さらに、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1の制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度がデシカント外調機10の出口(すなわち、デシカントロータ13の出口)に要求される絶対湿度より高く、外気のエンタルピが還気のエンタルピより低く、外気の絶対湿度が定格運転時における第1冷却コイル12の出口の絶対湿度より低い場合、外気の絶対湿度が高いほど、デシカントロータ13を通過するエアの量が増加するよう、第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。また、制御装置30は、外気の絶対湿度が低いほど、第2バイパス経路17cを通過するエアの量が増加するよう、第1の切替器(第1ダンパ16a、第2ダンパ16b)及び第2の切替器(第3ダンパ16c、第4ダンパ16d)を制御する。このようにすることで、本実施形態に係るデシカント空調システム1は必要以上の除湿を避けることを可能としつつ、好ましい状態の除湿を行うことができる。 Furthermore, the control device 30 of the desiccant air-conditioning system 1 according to the present embodiment has a higher absolute humidity than the absolute humidity required for the outlet of the desiccant external air conditioner 10 (that is, the outlet of the desiccant rotor 13). Is lower than the return air enthalpy and the absolute humidity of the outside air is lower than the absolute humidity at the outlet of the first cooling coil 12 during rated operation, the higher the absolute humidity of the outside air, the more the amount of air passing through the desiccant rotor 13 Thus, the first switch (first damper 16a, second damper 16b) and the second switch (third damper 16c, fourth damper 16d) are controlled. In addition, the controller 30 controls the first switch (the first damper 16a and the second damper 16b) and the second switch so that the amount of air passing through the second bypass path 17c increases as the absolute humidity of the outside air decreases. Switch (third damper 16c, fourth damper 16d). By doing in this way, the desiccant air conditioning system 1 which concerns on this embodiment can perform the dehumidification of a preferable state, making it possible to avoid the dehumidification more than necessary.
 なお、第1実施形態では、エンタルピと絶対湿度とで、外気の状態を領域801~804で分けて制御しているが、これらの領域が温度(乾球温度)や、相対湿度でさらに分割されてもよい。このようにすることで、より細かい気象条件に応じることができる。 In the first embodiment, the enthalpy and absolute humidity control the outside air state separately in the regions 801 to 804, but these regions are further divided by temperature (dry bulb temperature) and relative humidity. May be. By doing in this way, it can respond to a finer weather condition.

[flowchart]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of air volume control in the control device of the desiccant air conditioning system according to the second embodiment. Reference is made to FIGS. 13 and 14 as appropriate.
The acquisition unit 312 of the control device 30a acquires the indoor state value 71 (S201), and calculates the indoor condition value based on the indoor state value 71 acquired by the calculation unit 313 as necessary (S202). For example, the indoor state value 71 is the number of computers operating indoors, and the indoor condition value is the number of indoors calculated based on the number of computers operating.
 次に、制御装置30aの算出部313は室内条件値における人数と、予め設定されている定数値である「一人当たりの必要外気取入量(m/(h・人)」とを乗算することにより、外気取入量を算出する(S203)。 Next, the calculation unit 313 of the control device 30a multiplies the number of people in the room condition value by a preset constant value “required outside air intake amount per person (m 3 / (h · person)”. Thus, the outside air intake amount is calculated (S203).
 続いて、制御装置30aの算出部313は、室内にいる人により発生する1人あたりの顕熱負荷(W/人)と、室内の人数の積である人発生顕熱負荷量(W)を算出する。さらに、算出部313は、照明・コンセント等による単位床面積当たりの顕熱負荷(W/m)と、床面積との積である機器発生顕熱負荷量(W)を算出する。なお、1人あたりの顕熱負荷及び単位床面積当たりの顕熱負荷は、予め設定されている定数値である。
 そして、制御装置30aの算出部313は、人発生顕熱負荷と、機器発生顕熱負荷とを加算することによりデシカント空調システム1aが処理すべき顕熱負荷量(W)を算出する(S204)。ここで、処理すべき顕熱負荷量は、室内の温度を設定温度に保つため、顕熱処理すべき室内において発生する熱量である。
Subsequently, the calculation unit 313 of the control device 30a calculates the sensible heat load per person (W / person) generated by a person in the room and the person-generated sensible heat load (W) that is the product of the number of persons in the room. calculate. Furthermore, the calculation unit 313 calculates a device-generated sensible heat load (W) that is a product of the sensible heat load (W / m 2 ) per unit floor area due to lighting, an outlet, and the like, and the floor area. The sensible heat load per person and the sensible heat load per unit floor area are preset constant values.
And the calculation part 313 of the control apparatus 30a calculates the sensible heat load amount (W) which the desiccant air conditioning system 1a should process by adding a human generation | occurrence | production sensible heat load and an apparatus generation | occurrence | production sensible heat load (S204). . Here, the sensible heat load to be processed is the amount of heat generated in the room to be subjected to the sensible heat treatment in order to keep the room temperature at the set temperature.
 続いて、制御装置30aの算出部313はステップS204で算出された処理すべき顕熱負荷量を基に、以下の式(1)により給気風量を算出する(S205)。 Subsequently, based on the sensible heat load to be processed calculated in step S204, the calculation unit 313 of the control device 30a calculates the supply air volume by the following equation (1) (S205).
 給気風量=3600×q/(Cp×ρ×Δt)・・・(1) Supply air volume = 3600 × q / (Cp × ρ × Δt) (1)
 なお、式(1)において、「3600」は秒から時間への単位換算(s/h)である。また、「q」はステップS204で算出された処理すべき顕熱負荷量(W=J/s)である。さらに、「Cp」は定圧比熱(≒1006J/(kg・K))であり、「ρ」は空気密度(≒1.2kg/m)であり、「Δt」は給気吹出温度と室内温度との差(℃)である。 In the formula (1), “3600” is unit conversion from second to time (s / h). “Q” is the sensible heat load (W = J / s) to be processed calculated in step S204. Furthermore, “Cp” is a constant pressure specific heat (≈1006 J / (kg · K)), “ρ” is an air density (≈1.2 kg / m 3 ), and “Δt” is a supply air blowing temperature and an indoor temperature. (° C).
 制御装置30aのインバータ制御部316は、算出した給気風量に基づいて、第1給気ファン14、第2給気ファン22及び排気ファン15におけるインバータ61~63を制御する(S206)。ここで、インバータ制御部316は、ステップS203で算出された外気取入量を基に、第1給気ファン14を駆動するインバータ61を制御する。また、インバータ制御部316は、ステップS205で算出された給気風量を基に、第2給気ファン22を駆動するインバータ63を制御する。また、インバータ制御部316は、ステップS203で算出された外気取入量を基に、排気ファン15を駆動するインバータ62を制御する。 The inverter control unit 316 of the control device 30a controls the inverters 61 to 63 in the first supply fan 14, the second supply fan 22, and the exhaust fan 15 based on the calculated supply air volume (S206). Here, the inverter control unit 316 controls the inverter 61 that drives the first air supply fan 14 based on the outside air intake amount calculated in step S203. Further, the inverter control unit 316 controls the inverter 63 that drives the second air supply fan 22 based on the air supply air amount calculated in step S205. Further, the inverter control unit 316 controls the inverter 62 that drives the exhaust fan 15 based on the outside air intake amount calculated in step S203.
 図16に、室内の潜熱負荷が大きい場合の室内の人数と、外気風量、給気風量、還気風量の関係の一例を示す。図16において、横軸は室内の人数を示し、縦軸は風量を示している。符号1601が外気風量(=外気取入量)を示す線であり、第1給気ファン14の風量である。また、符号1602が給気風量を示す線であり、第2給気ファン22の風量である。そして、符号1603が還気風量を示す線である。また、各プロットはシミュレーションによる計算値である。なお、図16において、外気風量の単位は「m/h」に換算してある。また、図16では、室内のコンピュータ等の機器による発熱の影響は考慮していない。
 さらに、線1611はデシカント空調システム1aの設計時に設定した人数である。
FIG. 16 shows an example of the relationship between the number of people in the room and the outside air volume, the supply air volume, and the return air volume when the latent heat load in the room is large. In FIG. 16, the horizontal axis indicates the number of people in the room, and the vertical axis indicates the air volume. Reference numeral 1601 is a line indicating the outside air flow rate (= outside air intake amount), which is the air volume of the first air supply fan 14. Reference numeral 1602 denotes a line indicating the supply air volume, which is the air volume of the second supply fan 22. Reference numeral 1603 is a line indicating the return air volume. Each plot is a calculated value by simulation. In FIG. 16, the unit of the outside air volume is converted to “m 3 / h”. Further, in FIG. 16, the influence of heat generated by a device such as an indoor computer is not considered.
Further, a line 1611 is the number of persons set at the time of designing the desiccant air conditioning system 1a.
 図16に示すように、室内の人数が減少すると、室内における潜熱負荷が減少するため、外気取入量(=外気風量:線1601)が減少し、また室内における顕熱負荷が減少するため、給気風量(線1602)も減少する。 As shown in FIG. 16, since the latent heat load in the room decreases when the number of people in the room decreases, the outside air intake amount (= outdoor air volume: line 1601) decreases, and the sensible heat load in the room decreases. The supply air volume (line 1602) also decreases.
 また、室内の人数が増加すると、室内における潜熱負荷、顕熱負荷共に増加するため、外気取入量(線1601)は増加し、それに伴い給気風量(線1602)も増加する。 Also, as the number of people in the room increases, both the latent heat load and sensible heat load in the room increase, so the outside air intake amount (line 1601) increases and the air supply air volume (line 1602) also increases accordingly.
 なお、室内の顕熱負荷が大きい図16に示すような場合には、人数の増加に伴う給気風量の増加量は、外気風量の増加量よりも緩やかになる。
 従って、給気風量(線1602)と、外気風量(線1601)との差である還気風量(線1603)は、室内の人数が増えるに従って減少していく。
In the case where the indoor sensible heat load is large as shown in FIG. 16, the increase amount of the supply air volume accompanying the increase in the number of persons becomes more gradual than the increase amount of the outside air volume.
Therefore, the return air volume (line 1603), which is the difference between the supply air volume (line 1602) and the outside air volume (line 1601), decreases as the number of people in the room increases.
