Abstract
Description
ファンコイルユニットは、その内部に吸気室、送風ファン、熱交換器、送風室を備え、送風ファンによって、空気が吸気室から送風ファンを経て熱交換器、送風室へと流れる。また、天井パネルユニットは、下面に室内の空気を吸い込む吸引口と、室内に空気を吹き出す送風口を備え、吸引口より吸い込んだ室内の空気をファンコイルユニットの吸気室に流すとともに、ファンコイルユニットの送風室より供給された空気を送風口より室内に送風する。
また、リフレクターの反射面を断面V字形に形成すると共に反射面に羽根付きグリルを設け、この羽根付きグリルを空気が通過することで、空気の流れを妨害することなく、空気調和機を流れる空気を所要量に維持することができ、これにより、空気調和機の送風能力を確保することができる。
本実施形態に係る空気調和機は、室内の天井に取り付けるタイプであって、紫外線ランプを用いて、空気中の細菌やウイルスを不活化し、空気の除菌を行うことで、清浄な空気を室内に供給することのできる空気調和機である。なお、ここで室内とは、住宅、オフィス、病院、商業施設、公共機関などにおける内部空間を意味する。
ここで、本実施形態に係る空気調和機の説明を行う前に用語の説明を行う。
本明細書において、「前後方向」とは、後述する天井パネルユニット3の長手方向であり、図2の図面中に矢印Xで示す。また、「左右方向」とは、天井パネルユニット3の幅方向であり、図2、図3の図面中に矢印Yで示す。また、「上下方向」とは、天井パネルユニット3の高さ方向であり、図2、図3の図面中に矢印Zで示す。なお、他の図面中における矢印X、矢印Y、矢印Zも同趣である。
空気調和機1は、図1に示すように、室内の天井の内側に配置するファンコイルユニット2と、このファンコイルユニット2の下部に取り付けると共にその底面が天井面Cに略面一になるよう配置する天井パネルユニット3とから成る。
ファンコイルユニット2は、送風ファン23によって空気を吸気室22から熱交換器24に送り、熱交換器24では空気の熱交換を行う。熱交換された空気は送風室26に送られる。ファンコイルユニット2は、天井の内部から簡単には取り外しできないように室内の天井の内側に固定される。
左側送風ダクト32aは断面略矩形であり、その下端に供給された空気を底パネル33の開口(送風口)33bを介して室内に送風するための送風口35を有し、その上部は後述する連結用ダクト36と一体に連結されている。
図4は、図1の中で示すA部の拡大断面図であり、図5Aは、リフレクターの側面図であり、図5Bは、リフレクターの平面図であり、図5Cは、リフレクターの正面図である。

反射板41b,41cには、空気の通過を許容する羽根付きグリル42がそれぞれ設けられている。羽根付きグリル42はそれぞれスリット42aと羽根42bを複数組備えている。羽根42bは吸い込んだ空気をスリット42aに案内すると共に、スリット42aからの紫外線の漏洩を抑制する。この羽根付きグリル42は、反射板41b,41cに対し、その前後方向に所定の間隔で複数、例えば5個(図では2個)設ける。
羽根34bは、紫外線ランプ40の両側で上に向かって開くように互いに反対向きに傾斜して取り付けられている。この羽根34bの傾斜方向は、リフレクター41の反射板41b,41cの羽根付きグリル42の羽根42bの傾斜方向と上に向かって逆方向である。
これにより、吸引口34から吸い込んだ空気が吸込室38内で拡散する方向にスムーズに流動できるようにすると共に、傾斜した羽根34bで反射板41b、41c又は内側部分31内などで散乱された紫外線が下方、つまり室内側に漏洩するのを抑制している。
図1に示すように、空気調和機1が動作すると、ファンコイルユニット2の送風ファン23によって、室内の空気は天井パネルユニット3の吸引口34から吸引される。吸い込んだ空気は、まず、フィルター34aによって埃などが除去されて吸込室38内に流入する。続いて、リフレクター41に達した空気は、その反射板41b,41cに設けた羽根付きグリル42の羽根42bに案内されてスリット42aから、リフレクター41内に流入する。
空気調和機1より外部に漏洩する紫外線の量は、図6に示すように、空気調和機1の下方の4ヶ所(P1・P2・P3・P4)で紫外線の量を測定した。測定する位置はすべて空気調和機1の天井パネルユニット3の下面より200mm離れた位置である。
また、空気調和機1の天井パネルユニット3内に、断面V字形のリフレクター41とインナーリフレクター44を備えていないものを比較例として、この比較例における外部に漏洩する紫外線の量も測定した。測定する位置は、前述した位置と同様、空気調和機1の下方の4ヶ所(P1・P2・P3・P4)の位置である。
その結果を、以下の表1に示す。
これに対し、断面V字形のリフレクター41とインナーリフレクター44を備えていない比較例の空気調和機では、外部に漏洩する紫外線の量が2.788~5.346(μW/cm2)であり、4ヶ所のすべてで、紫外線の量が安全基準値の0.1(μW/cm2)を大幅に超えていた。
以上の通り、本実施形態の空気調和機1では、紫外線ランプ40の紫外線が室内に漏洩するのを大幅に低減でき、空気調和機1を安全に使用できることが確認できた。
