Description

Selection method of additional ventilation device, selection method of additional ventilation device and air conditioning device, and air conditioning ventilation system

Regarding the selection method of the additional ventilation device, the selection method of the additional ventilation device and the air conditioning device, and the air conditioning ventilation system.

Conventionally, a ventilation device that exhausts indoor air to the outside or supplies outdoor air to the room has been widely used (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-300112)).

Many of the existing buildings are equipped with ventilation equipment to provide some ventilation.

On the other hand, recently, as one of the measures against infection by pathogens such as viruses and bacteria (hereinafter referred to as pathogen infection), it is required to increase the ventilation volume.

However, when replacing an existing ventilation device, the cost of the device and the installation cost will be high.

The method of selecting the additional ventilation device from the first viewpoint is the method of selecting the additional ventilation device when a different ventilation device is newly installed as the additional ventilation device in the indoor space where the existing first ventilation device is provided. It is a selection method. In the existing first ventilation device, the ventilation volume per hour is the first ventilation volume. The method of selecting the additional ventilation device according to the first aspect includes a first step, a second step, and a third step. In the first step, the second ventilation volume is obtained based on the size of the indoor space. As the size of the interior space, the floor area of the interior space, the volume of the interior space, the number of people accommodated in the interior space, and the like can be used. The second ventilation volume is the ventilation volume per hour required as a countermeasure against pathogen infection. In the second step, the difference between the second ventilation volume and the first ventilation volume is obtained as the additional ventilation volume. In the third step, a ventilation device capable of ventilating an additional ventilation volume is selected as the additional ventilation device.

Here, the additional ventilation is based on the unprecedented excellent idea that the first ventilation volume of the existing first ventilation device is used as it is and the ventilation of the insufficient ventilation volume (additional ventilation volume) is supplemented by the additional ventilation device. The device is selected. As a result, ventilation of the second ventilation volume required as a countermeasure against pathogen infection is realized while suppressing the cost.

The method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner from the second viewpoint is the method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner by selecting the additional ventilation device according to the selection method of the first viewpoint and further selecting the air conditioner. be. An air conditioner is a device that air-conditions an indoor space. The method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner according to the second aspect includes a fourth step and a fifth step in addition to the first step, the second step, and the third step. In the fourth step, the sum of the first air conditioning load, the second air conditioning load, and the third air conditioning load is obtained as the total air conditioning load. The first air conditioning load is determined based on the size of the indoor space. The second air conditioning load is an air conditioning load generated by ventilation by the existing first ventilation device. The third air conditioning load is an air conditioning load generated by ventilation by the additional ventilation device selected in the third step. In the fifth step, an air conditioner having an air conditioning capacity capable of processing the total air conditioning load is selected from a plurality of candidates for air conditioners having different air conditioning capacities.

If an additional ventilation device is installed in the indoor space in addition to the existing first ventilation device, it is expected that the ventilation load of the indoor space will increase due to the ventilation by the additional ventilation device. If this is not taken into consideration, the thermal environment of the indoor space may deteriorate. In view of this, in the method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioning device from the second aspect, it is possible to select an air conditioning device capable of processing the total air conditioning load including the air conditioning load generated by the ventilation of the additional ventilation device.

The method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner of the third viewpoint is the selection method of the second viewpoint, and in the third step, the ventilation device having the heat exchange unit is selected as the additional ventilation device. The heat exchange unit exchanges heat between the outside air, which is the air supplied to the interior space, and the return air, which is the exhaust air from the interior space. Further, in the fourth step, the third air conditioning load is obtained in consideration of the heat exchange amount in the heat exchange unit of the selected additional ventilation device.

Here, a ventilation device having a heat exchange unit that exchanges heat between supply air and exhaust air is selected as an additional ventilation device. Therefore, the deterioration of the thermal environment of the indoor space due to the ventilation of the additional ventilation device can be suppressed to a small extent. Further, since the third air conditioning load is obtained in consideration of the heat exchange amount in the heat exchange unit, the total air conditioning load is not excessively calculated. This makes it possible to correctly recognize the required air conditioning capacity of the air conditioner and select an air conditioner that is just right.

The method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner of the fourth viewpoint is the selection method of the second viewpoint or the third viewpoint, and further includes the sixth step and the seventh step. In the sixth step, it is determined whether or not the air volume at the maximum ventilation volume of the additional ventilation device selected in the third step is 30% or less of the rated air volume of the air conditioner selected in the fifth step. .. In the 7th step, when it is determined in the 6th step that the air volume at the maximum ventilation volume of the additional ventilation device exceeds 30% of the rated air volume of the air conditioner, the selection of the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner is reviewed. ..

If the air volume at the maximum ventilation of the additional ventilator exceeds 30% of the rated air volume of the air conditioner, the operating efficiency of the air conditioner will be high even if the air conditioning capacity of the air conditioner can handle the total air conditioning load. There is a risk that it will get worse and the running cost will be high. In view of this, in the method of selecting the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner from the fourth aspect, the sixth step and the seventh step are further performed, and the selection of the additional ventilation device and the air conditioner is reviewed. This makes it possible, for example, to select an air conditioner having a higher rated air volume and air conditioning capacity, thereby reducing the running cost of air conditioning and ventilation.

The method of selecting the additional ventilator and the air conditioner from the fifth viewpoint is one of the selection methods from the second viewpoint to the fourth viewpoint, and in the third step, candidates for a plurality of ventilation devices having different maximum ventilation volumes are selected. An additional ventilation system is selected from among them. Further, the number of candidates for the plurality of air conditioners in the fifth step is larger than the number of candidates for the plurality of ventilation devices in the third step.

Here, by preparing a large number of air conditioner candidates, it becomes possible to select a more appropriate air conditioner according to the selected additional ventilation device. As a result, the cost of the device and the installation cost of the device can be suppressed.

In the present embodiment, the first step includes a step of calculating the maximum number of people who can enter the indoor space SI and a step of calculating the ventilation volume required in the indoor space SI from the maximum number of people. Specifically, the amount of ventilation required for the interior space SI is the exclusive use of the floor area (m ² ) of the interior space SI, which is determined by the purpose of the interior space SI (room) (general shops, offices, etc.). It is the value divided by the area (m ² ) and multiplied by the hourly ventilation volume (m ³ / h) required per person.

The second air conditioning load is an air conditioning load generated by ventilation by the existing first ventilation device 10. When ventilation is performed, outside air is taken into the indoor space SI through a gap between ducts and doors, and a load is generated to keep the outside air at the temperature and humidity of the room. This outside air load is the second air conditioning load generated by ventilation. The third air conditioning load is the air conditioning load generated by the ventilation of the second ventilation device 20 selected in the third step.

(7-6) Specific Example of Selection Next, referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C, in order to increase the ventilation volume with respect to the indoor space SI of the building H in which the first ventilation device 10 is already installed, the first 2 A specific example of selection of the second ventilation device 20 when the ventilation device 20 is additionally installed will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4A, for example, an air-conditioning indoor unit 30 having 5 horsepower (5 HP) and a first ventilation device 10 having a ventilation volume of 500 m ³ / h are installed in an indoor space SI of a certain store. And. The occupied area (m ² ) per person determined by the use of the interior space SI is 3 m ² in the case of a general store. If a store with an indoor space SI with a floor area of 75 m ² and an indoor space SI with a capacity of 25 people has designed the ventilation volume at 20 m ³ / h per person in the past, the ventilation volume is 500 m ³ / h. The first ventilation device 10 of h is installed. In a general store, 12.5 kW, which is the air-conditioning capacity of the 5-horsepower air-conditioning indoor unit 30, can air-condition the room with a floor area of 83 m ³ . On the other hand, in the case of the current ventilation volume of 500 m ³ / h, the air conditioning capacity required for the indoor space SI of a general store with a floor area of 75 m ² is 11.3 kW. Therefore, the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 having 5 horsepower has a surplus capacity of about 10% with respect to the floor area of 75 m ² of the current indoor space SI.

If this store intends to raise the current ventilation volume (20 m ³ / h per person) and secure a total ventilation volume of 30 m ³ / h (per person) for the interior space SI as a countermeasure against pathogen infection, As a simple method, window opening ventilation is a candidate.

In the case of window opening ventilation, as shown in FIG. 4B, it is necessary to open the window and additionally take in 250 m ³ / h of outside air into the interior space SI. However, when the window is opened, problems such as an increase in noise, invasion of insects into the interior space SI, and appearance of temperature unevenness in the interior space SI occur, and the comfort feeling of the shop customer is hindered. Further, as an increase in the air conditioning load due to the introduction of outside air, for example, when the outside air temperature is 35 ° C. and the room temperature is 27 ° C., the outside air load increases by 1.5 kW, and 12.8 kW (12.8 kW) with respect to the floor area of 75 m ² of the interior space SI. = 11.3 kW + 1.5 kW) air conditioning capacity is required. On the other hand, the air-conditioning capacity (12.5 kW) of the existing 5-horsepower air-conditioning indoor unit 30 is insufficient, so shops that open windows ventilate by removing the 5-horsepower air-conditioning indoor unit 30 and newly 6 horsepower. It will be necessary to install an air-conditioning indoor unit of (14.0 kW).

On the other hand, if the selection methods shown in (7-1) to (7-5) above are adopted as a method of securing a total ventilation volume of 30 m ³ / h for the interior space SI, the initial cost and running can be adopted. It is possible to secure the ventilation volume of the indoor space SI and process the air conditioning load while suppressing the cost.

Using the above selection method, first, in step 1, based on the size of the indoor space SI (floor area 75 m ² and capacity 25 people), the second ventilation volume required for the indoor space SI as a countermeasure against pathogen infection. Ask for. As a countermeasure against pathogen infection, the second ventilation volume is calculated as 750 m ³ / h (25 × 30 m ³ / h), assuming that 30 m ³ / h is required per person.

Next, in the second step, the difference between the second ventilation volume and the first ventilation volume is obtained as the additional ventilation volume (m ³ / h). The additional ventilation volume is determined to be 250 m ³ / h (second ventilation volume 750 m ³ / h-first ventilation volume 500 m ³ / h of the first ventilation device 10).

Next, in the third step, a ventilation device capable of ventilating an additional ventilation volume is selected from the above ventilation device candidates V1 to V6, and the ventilation device is selected as the second ventilation device 20. Here, the ventilation device V2 having a ventilation volume of 250 m ³ / h is selected as the second ventilation device 20.

Next, in the fourth step, the sum of the first air conditioning load, the second air conditioning load, and the third air conditioning load is obtained as the total air conditioning load. As described above, the second air conditioning load is the air conditioning load generated by ventilation by the existing first ventilation device 10. The total of the second air-conditioning load generated by the ventilation by the existing first ventilation device 10 (ventilation volume 500 m ³ / h) and the first air-conditioning load is the total of the indoor space SI with a floor area of 75 m ² in a general store. It becomes the above 11.3 kW. The third air conditioning load is an additional air conditioning load associated with the ventilation operation of the second ventilation device 20 caused by the additional installation of the second ventilation device 20. The additional air conditioning load (third air conditioning load) is when the ventilation device selected as the second ventilation device 20 is a ventilation device V2 having a ventilation volume of 250 m ³ / h and the outside air temperature is 35 ° C. and the room temperature is 27 ° C. It is 0.6 kW. In the case of the above window opening ventilation, the pressure is 1.5 kW under the same conditions, but when the second ventilation device 20 is adopted, the total heat exchange in the heat exchange element 40 is performed, so that the additional air conditioning load is 0.6 kW. .. Therefore, the total air conditioning load is 11.9 kW (11.3 kW + 0.6 kW).

For reference, the additional air conditioning load and other numerical values for each combination of the candidate for the second ventilation device 20 and the candidate for the air conditioner indoor unit 30 are shown in FIG.

Next, in the fifth step, the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 having an air-conditioning capacity capable of processing the total air-conditioning load is selected from the above-mentioned air-conditioning indoor unit candidates A1 to A9. Here, the air-conditioning indoor unit A8 having 5 horsepower (12.5 kW) already installed in the indoor space SI is selected as the air-conditioning indoor unit 30. This is because the total air conditioning load (11.9 kW) can be processed with 5 horsepower (12.5 kW).

Next, in the sixth step, the air volume at the maximum ventilation volume of the second ventilation device 20 selected in the third step is 30% or less of the rated air volume of the air conditioning indoor unit 30 selected in the fifth step. Judge whether or not. Here, the air volume at the maximum ventilation volume of the second ventilation device 20 is 30% or less of the rated air volume of the air conditioning indoor unit 30. Therefore, the selection of the second ventilation device and the air-conditioning indoor unit in the seventh step is not reviewed.

As described above, here, as shown in FIG. 4C, a second ventilation device 20 having a heat exchange element 40 for performing total heat exchange is additionally installed, and the second ventilation device 20 and the existing 5-horsepower air conditioner are additionally installed. The indoor unit 30 constitutes the air conditioning ventilation system 100.

As mentioned above, when air-conditioning indoor unit 30 with 5 horsepower must be removed and a new air-conditioning indoor unit with 6 horsepower (14.0 kW) must be installed when air-conditioning indoor unit 30 with 5 horsepower is adopted as a countermeasure against pathogen infection. However, when the second ventilation device 20 having the heat exchange element 40 for performing total heat exchange is additionally installed, the existing 5-horsepower air-conditioning indoor unit 30 can be continuously used as it is.

(8) Features of the selection method of the second ventilation device (8-1)
According to the method of selecting the second ventilation device described in (7) above, the first ventilation volume of the existing first ventilation device 10 is used as it is, and the ventilation of the insufficient additional ventilation volume is performed by the second ventilation device 20. The second ventilator 20 is selected in line with the unprecedented superior idea of supplementing. As a result, ventilation of the second ventilation volume required as a countermeasure against pathogen infection is realized while suppressing the cost.

(8-2)
When an additional second ventilation device 20 is installed in the indoor space SI in addition to the existing first ventilation device 10, it is assumed that the ventilation load by the second ventilation device 20 increases the air conditioning load in the interior space SI. If this is not taken into consideration, the thermal environment of the interior space SI may deteriorate. In view of this, in the above-mentioned selection method of the second ventilation device 20 and the air-conditioning indoor unit 30, the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 capable of processing the total air-conditioning load including the air-conditioning load generated by ventilation is selected. This makes it possible to determine whether the air conditioner indoor unit 30 already deployed in the indoor space SI can be used as it is, or whether it is necessary to replace it with a new air conditioner indoor unit 30 having a higher air conditioning capacity. ..

(8-3)
In the method of selecting the second ventilation device described in (7) above, the second ventilation device 20 having the heat exchange element 40 for heat exchange between the supply air SA and the exhaust EA is used as an additional ventilation device. It has been selected. Therefore, the deterioration of the thermal environment of the indoor space SI due to the ventilation of the second ventilation device 20 can be suppressed to a small extent. Since the third air conditioning load (air conditioning load associated with additional ventilation) is obtained in consideration of the heat exchange amount in the heat exchange element 40, the total air conditioning load is not excessively calculated. As a result, the required air-conditioning capacity is correctly recognized, and the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 is selected without excess or deficiency.

(8-4)
When the air volume at the maximum ventilation volume of the second ventilation device 20 added as a countermeasure against pathogen infection exceeds 30% of the rated air volume of the air conditioning indoor unit 30, the total air conditioning load can be processed by the air conditioning capacity of the air conditioning indoor unit 30. Even so, there is a risk that the operating efficiency of the air conditioner will deteriorate and the running cost will increase. In view of this, in the method of selecting the second ventilation device and the air-conditioning indoor unit of the present embodiment, the sixth step and the seventh step are performed, and the selection of the second ventilation device and the air-conditioning indoor unit is reviewed. This makes it possible, for example, to select an air-conditioning indoor unit having a higher rated air volume and air-conditioning capacity, thereby reducing the running cost of air-conditioning and ventilation.

(8-5)
In the above embodiment, by preparing many candidates for the air conditioning indoor unit shown in (7-4) above, a more appropriate air conditioning indoor unit 30 is selected according to the selected second ventilation device 20. Will be able to. As a result, the running cost and the installation cost of the air conditioning ventilation system 100 can be suppressed.

(9) Variations and features of air conditioning ventilation system (9-1)
In the air-conditioning ventilation system 100 of (1) to (6) above, the air-conditioning room unit 30 has already been installed, but the second ventilation device 20, the air-conditioning room unit 30, and the air-conditioning room unit 30 are described as the air-conditioning ventilation system 100. Ducts 21 to 24 such as the air supply duct 24 forming the flow path of the air supply SA may be packaged. Ducts 21 to 24 connected to the second ventilation device so that the air volume supplied to the room becomes the target ventilation air volume when the fan of the second ventilation device 20 is operated at a predetermined rotation speed, and air supply intake described later. The member 30a is configured to have a constant flow path resistance. The packaged means that the desired flow path resistance is generated only by connecting the ducts 21 to 24 having the flow path resistance and the air supply air intake member 30a to the air conditioning indoor unit 30 and the second ventilation device 20. It means a system that can supply the target ventilation air volume without the need to calculate the flow path resistance on site. If the packaged air-conditioning ventilation system 100 is adopted, the introduction cost including the installation cost is compared with the case where the ventilation device and the indoor unit of the air conditioning device are connected by using parts such as ducts procured locally. Is suppressed.

(9-2)
Further, in the air conditioning ventilation system 100, since the air supply SA from the second ventilation device 20 enters the air conditioning indoor unit 30, the temperature of the air supply SA is adjusted by the air conditioning indoor unit 30 after adjusting the temperature or humidity, and then the indoor space SI. Can be supplied to.

(9-3)
The air conditioning ventilation system 100 includes a remote controller 90 that controls the air conditioning indoor unit 30 and the second ventilation device 20. As a result, the operation / stop of the air conditioning indoor unit 30 and the second ventilation device 20 can be linked, and the ventilation by the second ventilation device 20 can be controlled so as not to be performed when the air conditioning indoor unit 30 is not operating. It will be possible to do.

In the air conditioning ventilation system 100, if ventilation is performed by the second ventilation device 20 when the air conditioning indoor unit 30 is not operating, dust attached to the suction filter of the air conditioning indoor unit 30 will fall into the indoor space SI. Problems may occur. This problem can be prevented by installing the remote controller 90 and controlling the interlocking control between the air conditioning indoor unit 30 and the second ventilation device 20.

(10) Specific example of air-conditioning ventilation system (10-1)
In the specific example of the selection of the second ventilation device of (7-6) above, the indoor space SI (floor area 75m ² ) of a certain store, the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 of 5 horsepower (5HP), and the ventilation volume of 500m ³ Assuming that the first ventilation device 10 of / h is installed, the current ventilation volume (20 m ³ / h per person) is increased as a countermeasure against pathogen infection, and the total ventilation volume per person is 30 m ³ / h. Was described in the case of trying to secure the room space SI.

If the selection is made based on the same concept as this specific example, the air-conditioning ventilation system installed in the indoor space where the floor area is 70 m ² or more and 95 m ² or less is the maximum with the air-conditioning indoor unit having a cooling rated capacity of about 12.5 kW. It is preferably equipped with a second ventilation device having a ventilation volume of 250 m ³ / h.

This air-conditioning ventilation system is used in an indoor space in an existing building with the above-mentioned floor area where the first ventilation volume (for example, the ventilation volume twice the maximum ventilation volume of the second ventilation device) is secured. If installed in a space, the ventilation volume required as a countermeasure against pathogen infection can be obtained, and the total air conditioning load in the indoor space including the air conditioning load due to the increased ventilation volume can be processed by the air conditioner.

(10-2)
In the specific example of the selection of the second ventilation device of (7-6) above, the indoor space SI (floor area 75m ² ) of a certain store, the air-conditioning indoor unit 30 of 5 horsepower (5HP), and the ventilation volume of 500m ³ Assuming that the first ventilation device 10 of / h is installed, the current ventilation volume (20 m ³ / h per person) is increased as a countermeasure against pathogen infection, and the total ventilation volume per person is 30 m ³ / h. Was described in the case of trying to secure the room space SI.

If the selection is made based on the same concept as this specific example, the air-conditioning ventilation system installed in the indoor space where the floor area is 40 m ² or more and 60 m ² or less is the maximum with the air-conditioning indoor unit having a cooling rated capacity of about 7.1 kW. It is preferably equipped with a second ventilation device having a ventilation volume of 150 m ³ / h.

This air-conditioning ventilation system is used in an indoor space in an existing building with the above-mentioned floor area where the first ventilation volume (for example, the ventilation volume twice the maximum ventilation volume of the second ventilation device) is secured. If installed in a space, the ventilation volume required as a countermeasure against pathogen infection can be obtained, and the total air conditioning load in the indoor space including the air conditioning load due to the increased ventilation volume can be processed by the air conditioner.

(11) Modification example (11-1)
In the air-conditioning ventilation system 100 of the above embodiment, the indoor air in the indoor space SI reaches the heat exchange element 40 as the return air RA via the return air passage 21a, and the air passing through the heat exchange element 40 uses the exhaust fan 28. As it passes, it becomes exhaust EA and is discharged to the outdoor space SO. On the other hand, the outside air OA of the outdoor space SO reaches the heat exchange element 40 from the outside air introduction path 23a, and the air passing through the heat exchange element 40 passes through the air supply fan 26 and is supplied to the indoor space SI as fresh air supply SA. Will be done. However, the air supply SA requires a certain amount of static pressure in order to pass through the narrow flow path in the air conditioning indoor unit 30 to which the air supply intake member 30a is mounted. Therefore, there is a possibility that a pressure difference may occur between the flow path of the return air RA and the exhaust EA having a small flow path resistance and the flow path of the outside air OA and the supply air SA having a large flow path resistance.

Therefore, when the pressure loss of the supply air SA becomes considerably large, it is preferable to additionally deploy a pressure adjusting unit in the air conditioning ventilation system 100.

For example, as a pressure adjusting unit, a pressure reducing member 58 such as an obstacle plate or a damper is provided in the first space 51a of the second ventilation device 20 of FIG. 1A to increase the flow path resistance of the return air RA and the exhaust EA. Then, the pressure difference becomes small, and the problem that the outside air and the return air are mixed in the heat exchange element 40 hardly occurs.
