Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner which sucks indoor air from an air inlet of an indoor unit and blows off the indoor air from an air outlet after air conditioning, and an operation method of the air conditioner.
- An air conditioner of general type includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit (see for example patent document US-A-2005/0168907 ).
- the indoor unit includes an indoor fan for accelerating a heat exchange between an indoor heat exchanger provided inside the indoor unit and indoor air, wherein the indoor air is sucked into the inside of the indoor unit by the indoor fan, the sucked indoor air is supplied to the indoor heat exchanger for heat exchange, and air after the heat exchange is again blown into the inside of the room.
- an air conditioner described in JP-A-2002-323250 adopts a method which makes use of a heating/drying operation as an operation control method for preventing the propagation of molds, bacteria and the like in the inside of an indoor unit.
- a heating/drying operation as an operation control method for preventing the propagation of molds, bacteria and the like in the inside of an indoor unit.
- an air outlet vane of the indoor unit is closed, and two heat exchangers are allowed to perform heating on one side and cooling on another side simultaneously using a throttle valve thus simultaneously performing drying by heating and dehumidifying by cooling whereby moisture in the inside of the indoor unit is evaporated to lower the humidity thus preventing the propagation of bacteria and the molds.
- an air conditioner described in JP-A-2003-240313 adopts a method which makes use of ozone as an operation control method for preventing the propagation of molds, bacteria and the like in the inside of an indoor unit.
- the method increases the ozone concentration in the inside of the indoor unit by providing an ozone generator in the inside of the indoor unit thus preventing the propagation of the molds and the bacteria.
- the indoor heat exchanger is divided into a rear-side heat exchange portion and a front-side heat exchange portion, and the rear-side heat exchange portion and the front-side heat exchange portion are connected to each other by way of an indoor throttle valve which is constituted of a throttle two-way valve and hence, the flow of a coolant between both heat exchange portions can be controlled thus allowing the air conditioner to perform drying by a heating operation and dehumidifying by a cooling operation simultaneously based on an electric control. Accordingly, it is possible to perform the dehumidifying of the inside of the indoor unit without releasing hot air to the outside of the indoor unit thus preventing the propagation of molds and bacteria.
- the air conditioner disclosed in JP-A-2003-240313 increases the ozone concentration in the inside of the indoor unit by providing the ozone generator in the inside of the indoor unit, and prevents the propagation of the molds and bacteria using a sterilizing ability that the ozone possesses.
- the ozone concentration of 0.1ppm which is an environmental reference standard or more is required.
- the ozone concentration cannot be highly elevated because of an oxidizing force which ozone possesses. Therefore, an ability to suppress the propagation of molds and bacteria is small.
- ozone which remains in the inside of the indoor unit after ozone treatment exhibits a high retention property and hence, when the air conditioner is operated after finishing the ozone treatment, the ozone may be released into the inside of a room.
- the ozone generator also functions as an electrostatic filter. However, due to stains on electrodes caused by dusts collected by the electrostatic filter, an ozone generation quantity is not stable, which disturbs the stable ozone treatment.
- the present invention has been made to overcome the above-mentioned problems and has an object to provide an air conditioner and an operation method thereof which can suppress the energy consumption by obviating the necessity of simultaneously performing cooling and heating at the time of ozone treatment and can eliminate not only bacteria but also molds by the ozone treatment.
- an air conditioner including an indoor unit which houses an air outlet which blows off air into the inside of a room, an air outlet open/close mechanism which opens/closes the air outlet, an air inlet which sucks indoor air, an indoor fan, and an indoor heat exchanger therein, the air conditioner comprising: a humidifying mechanism that wets the inside of the indoor unit to bring the inside of the indoor unit into a predetermined humidity; an ozone generator arranged on a windward side of the indoor heat exchanger; and an air conditioning controller having an operation mode in which ozone treatment is performed by allowing the ozone generator to generate ozone in a state that the inside of the indoor unit is held at the predetermined humidity by the humidifying mechanism.
- an operation method of an air conditioner comprising performing an inside cleaning operation, wherein the performing inside cleaning operation includes: a humidifying step of wetting the inside of the indoor unit and to maintain predetermined humidity; an ozone treatment step of performing ozone treatment at the predetermined humidity after the humidifying step; and a drying step of drying the inside of the indoor unit after the ozone treatment step.
- surfaces of respective portions in the inside of the indoor unit are brought into a wet state and, at the same time, the inside of the indoor unit is held at the predetermined humidity, and ozone is generated by operating the ozone generator in such a state.
- ozone generated by the ozone generator and radicals generated by ozone and water it is possible to eliminate molds and bacteria adhered to the inner surfaces of the indoor unit with high efficiency.

- the air conditioner is constituted of an outdoor unit (not shown in the drawing) arranged outdoors and the indoor unit 1 which is arranged on an upper portion of a wall surface of a room in which air conditioning is performed.
- a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger and an expansion valve which are mounted in the outdoor unit, and an indoor heat exchanger 3 which is mounted on the indoor unit 1 are connected with each other to form a refrigerating cycle.
- the indoor heat exchanger 3 is a so-called fin tube heat exchanger which is constituted of plural sheets of aluminum-made fins and a copper pipe which penetrates the fins in a meandering manner.
- the outdoor unit and the indoor unit 1 are respectively provided with an outdoor control part and an indoor control part for performing the operation of the above-mentioned refrigerating cycle.

- the outdoor unit and the indoor unit 1 are operated while performing the transaction of control signals and data.
- the operations of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit 1 are not directly relevant to the present invention and are equal to operations of the normal air conditioner and hence, the explanation of the operation of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit 1 is omitted here.
- the indoor unit 1 is usually arranged on a wall of the room in which air conditioning is performed in the vicinity of a ceiling of the room.
- the indoor unit 1 is connected with the outdoor unit by way of a coolant pipe along which the connection line is arranged in parallel through a wall opening formed in the wall.
- the indoor unit 1 includes the body casing 2 formed of a laterally elongated box.
- the air inlet 6 is formed by opening upwardly in an upper portion of the body casing 2
- the air outlet 7 is formed by opening downwardly in a lower portion of the body casing 2.
- the indoor fan 8 is arranged in the body casing 2 and rotatably drives laterally elongated transverse fins having the axial direction thereof directed in the longitudinal direction by an indoor motor (not shown in the drawing).
- an indoor motor not shown in the drawing.
- a DC motor which can change a speed in a plurality of stages, exhibits high efficiency, and exhibits high stability even at a low speed is used.
- the indoor motor may be an AC
- an air flow passage which extends from the air inlet 6 to the air outlet 7 is formed by the indoor fan 8. Further, with respect to such an air flow passage, the indoor heat exchanger 3 is arranged on an upstream side of the indoor fan 8. Further, a temperature/humidity sensor 9 is arranged in the air flow passage between the air inlet and the indoor heat exchanger 3.
- the filter 4 is arranged on a windward side of the indoor heat exchanger 3. With the use of the filter 4, dusts and dirt which are contained in air sucked from the air inlet 6 are removed thus preventing the indoor heat exchanger 3 from being stained. Further, although not shown in the drawing, a drain pan is arranged below the indoor heat exchanger 3 and above the partition wall member 11.
- the louver 10 is provided as an air outlet open/close mechanism which opens/closes the air outlet 7.
- the louver 10 is formed in an elongated shape in the lateral direction and has left and right ends thereof pivotally supported, and the louver 10 is vertically rotated by a louver motor (not shown in the drawing).
- the air outlet 7 can be opened or closed by rotating the louver 10. Further, the air outlet 7 is closed by rotating the louver 10 in the closing direction.
- the ozone generator 5 is mounted on a front surface of the indoor heat exchanger 3 at an upper position of the front surface.
- a discharge type ozone generator or an ultraviolet type ozone generator is used by taking cost and performance into consideration.
- the ultraviolet type ozone generator 5 adopts a method which makes ozone from oxygen by applying ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 250nm or less discharged from an ultraviolet lamp.
- the discharge type ozone generator adopts a method in which a discharge is generated between electrodes by applying a high voltage between the electrodes, oxygen molecules are dissociated by electrons discharged in a space, and ozone is produced by bonding oxygen atoms and oxygen molecules generated by dissociation.
- the discharge type ozone generator is classified into a corona-discharge ozone generator, a creeping discharge ozone generator, a silent discharge ozone generator and the like depending on a discharge mode.
- the corona discharge ozone generator and the creeping discharge ozone generator are mainly used by taking cost and compactness into consideration.
- the corona discharge ozone generator generates ozone by applying a high voltage between electrodes.
- the corona discharge can generate a relatively stable discharge by ensuring a sufficient insulation support even under high humidity and hence, the corona discharge can generate ozone in a stable manner.
- the electrode structure is constituted by using needles or fine lines as high voltage electrodes, and a plate (including a perforated plate) or metal mesh as a ground electrode. Accordingly, when the ozone treatment is performed under high humidity as in the case of the embodiments of the invention, the corona discharge ozone generator is appropriately used. Further, as a waveform of the applied voltage, a DC waveform, an AC waveform, a pulse waveform and the like are considered.
- the generation of ozone is determined based on supplied electricity, the generation of ozone is not basically dependent on the waveform. However, when the DC voltage is used, even when the supplied electric powers are equal, the DC voltage of negative polarity can generate ozone more efficiently.
- a recent air conditioner mounts an electrostatic precipitator or an air purifier (a deodorizing device or the like) thereon. Accordingly, when such a device makes use of a discharge, it is needless to say that such a device can be used as the ozone generator.
- the electrostatic precipitator or the air purifier is provided for introducing contaminated air therein and for purifying such air and hence, the generation of stains on the discharge electrode is unavoidable. When the electrode is stained, the discharge becomes unstable which results in that ozone cannot be generated in a stable manner. Accordingly, to perform the stable ozone treatment, it is more effective, in terms of safety and performance, to provide a dedicated ozone generator.
- the use of air which is as clean as possible is desirable as air supplied to the ozone generator.
- the indoor unit 1 includes a microcomputer (CPU) (not shown in the drawing), and is configured to execute an operation control explained hereinafter using a controller of the air conditioner based on contents which are pre-programmed in the CPU or contents set prior to the operation.
- CPU microcomputer
- the main power source is turned on to bring the air conditioner into an operation preparation state.
- a control setting device which is referred to as a remote controller
- an operation start button of the air conditioner is manipulated (S201).
- an operation mode is selected (S202) and a desired operation mode is set.
- typical operation modes a cooling mode, a heating mode, a dehumidifying mode and the like can be named. Due to such manipulation, the operation of the air conditioner in the desired operation mode is started (S203 to S205).
- operations up to such steps are equal to operations of a usual air conditioner.
- the desired operation mode is stopped (S206).
- the immediate-before operation mode is the cooling operation mode or the dehumidifying operation mode or not (S207).
- the operation finishing processing is performed so as to bring the air conditioner into a stop state (S210).
- the air conditioner can perform the usual cooling operation, heating operation, and dehumidifying operation and, at the same time, after the cooling operation or the dehumidifying operation, the following inside cleaning operation processing is automatically performed by preliminarily selecting and setting the operation mode.
- the manner of operation of the air conditioner at the time of performing the inside cleaning operation of the air conditioner in the embodiment 1 is explained. That is, a control in the cleaning operation mode when the inside cleaning operation mode is set after the cooling operation or the dehumidifying operation as the operation mode is explained using the flowchart shown in Fig. 3 .
- the louver 10 of the indoor unit 1 is moved to a position indicated by a dotted line to bring the air outlet portion in the inside of the indoor unit 1 into a closed state (S301, S302).
- the ozone generator 5 is driven to supply ozone into the inside of the indoor unit 1 (S303).
- a time limiting timer for ozone operation treatment sets a predetermined operation time (e.g., approximately 30 minutes), and the timer is started. Then, it is determined whether the predetermined time elapses or not (S304). At a point of time that the predetermined time elapses, the ozone generator 5 is stopped (S305). After confirmation of the stopping of the ozone generator 5, the heating operation is started (S306). Due to this heating operation, the inside of the indoor unit 1 is dried.
- the time limiting timer for heating operation processing sets a predetermined operation time (e.g., approximately 10 minutes), and the timer is started.
- the inside cleaning operation is performed during the ozone treatment operation which constitutes a front half of the inside cleaning operation such that the air outlet 7 of the indoor unit 1 is brought into a closed state by closing the louver 10 and the indoor fan 8 is brought into a stop state. Further, in the heating/drying operation which constitutes a latter half of the inside cleaning operation, a temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is elevated. Due to such temperature elevation, moisture held in the heat exchanger 3 is evaporated. Further, due to the elevation of the temperature of air in the inside of the indoor unit 1, the evaporation of water on an inner surface of the indoor unit 1 is accelerated so that surfaces of respective equipment in the inside of the indoor unit 1 are dried. During such an inside cleaning operation, the operation is executed such that high temperature, high humidity air in the inside of the indoor unit 1 is not scattered in the inside of the room.
- the inside heat exchanger 3 may be divided into two sections, wherein the heat exchanging portion in the front section may be operated as an evaporator, and other heat exchanging portion may be operated as a condenser. Due to such constitution, it is possible to circulate air in the inside of the indoor unit 1 only by making use of a natural convection by stopping the indoor fan 8 thus preventing new indoor air from being sucked into the inside of the indoor unit 1. Accordingly, moisture in the inside of the indoor unit 1 can be evaporated and the evaporated moisture is eliminated by the vaporizer and is removed to the outside of the room and hence, humidity in the inside of the indoor unit 1 can be efficiently reduced within a short time.
- Fig. 4 is a view showing the influence of relative humidity which affects the mold (black mold) sterilizing performance at the time of performing ozone treatment (ozone concentration: 2ppm). According to the drawing, it is found that the higher the relative humidity, the larger the mold sterilizing effect becomes. Further, it is found that when the relative humidity is 60% or less in the treatment with ozone concentration of 2ppm, the mold sterilizing effect cannot be expected at all. In general, it is known that molds prefer high humidity and propagate when the humidity is increased.
- the molds propagate under high humidity and hence, when the humidity becomes high, the molds weaken strength of outermost shell films of spores thereof and are liable to be easily germinated. Accordingly, by applying ozone or OH radicals to such weakened outermost shell films, it is possible to efficiently oxidize and to destroy the films. From such a phenomenon, by performing the ozone treatment in the high humidity atmosphere, it is possible to efficiently extinguish the molds.
- the step of holding the inner surface of the indoor unit 1 in a wet state at the time of ozone treatment the step of holding the inner surface of the indoor unit 1 in a state of predetermined humidity (high humidity with at least relative humidity of 70% or more) at the time of ozone treatment, and the step of performing the heating operation after finishing the mold sterilizing treatment by ozone so as to dry the inner surface of the indoor unit 1 are effective in sterilizing the mold.
- the air conditioner can acquire the advantageous effects that the ozone treatment can sterilize the molds adhered to the indoor unit 1 and, at the same time, can prevent the propagation of the molds which are not completely sterilized in the inside of the indoor unit 1 thus maintaining the inside of the indoor unit 1 in a hygienic state.
- Fig. 5 is a view showing the relationship between the ozone concentration and a treatment time necessary for decreasing a survival rate of molds to 1/10 using the relative humidity as a parameter.
- the embodiments relate to the air conditioner for purifying the inside of the indoor unit 1, and the air conditioner is usually used every day. Therefore, it is apparent that it is necessary to set the treatment time to a value less than 24 hours. Further, in generating ozone in the inside of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, by taking a case in which ozone leaks from the indoor unit 1 into consideration, it is desirable to set the ozone concentration to 0.1ppm to 0.2ppm at maximum. Accordingly, under such conditions, a hatched portion in the drawing defines mold sterilizing condition, and it is understood from the drawing that it is preferable to set the relative humidity to 90% at minimum.
- the air conditioner can acquire the advantageous effects that the mold sterilizing function attributed to the wet ozone and the cleaning function which is performed after the mold sterilizing function in combination with the drying operation can sterilize the molds adhered to the indoor unit 1 and, at the same time, can prevent the propagation of the molds which cannot be completely sterilized in the inside of the indoor unit 1.
- the air conditioner can acquire the advantageous effects that, due to the contact of ozone with the water film formed on the surface of the object, ozone is decomposed and the OH radicals which exhibit the extremely high reaction property but have an extremely short lifetime are generated and hence, ozone generated in the inside of the indoor unit 1 can be efficiently decomposed thus further reducing a risk that ozone leaks to the inside of the room.
- the ozone treatment is performed in a state that the air outlet 7 is closed and hence, ozone which leaks to the inside of the room is little whereby there is no possibility of spreading of ozone odor into the inside of the room. Since leaking of ozone into the inside of the room can be decreased in this manner, it is possible to increase the ozone concentration in the inside of the indoor unit 1 thus realizing a more efficient mold sterilizing effect.
- this embodiment can also acquire an advantageous effect of decomposing and eliminating odor materials adhered to the inside of the indoor unit 1 as a secondary effect or a side effect. That is, the odor materials such as ammonia, an acetic acid or acetaldehyde are decomposed by the OH radicals generated due to the contact of the ozone with the water film on the surface of the object and hence, it is also possible to deodorize the inner surface of the indoor unit 1.
- the explanation is made with respect to the case in which the ozone treatment is performed in a state that the surfaces of the parts in the indoor unit 1 are in a wet state after finishing the cooling/dehumidifying operations.
- the ozone treatment is performed in a state that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is elevated to approximately 25°C after cooling/dehumidifying operations and the temperature in the inside of the indoor unit 1 is held at approximately 25°C, it is possible to obtain substantially equal advantageous effects. This is because that by providing a state in which molds can propagate more easily, the strength of the outermost shell films of the spores of the molds can be further weakened and hence, it is possible to extinguish the molds more easily using ozone.
- the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 3 at the time of finishing the cooling/dehumidifying operations is approximately 15°C and the humidity is lowered by increasing the temperature to approximately 25°C.
- the temperature elevation of such a level hardly brings about lowering of the relative humidity and the dissipation of the wet surface whereby ozone treatment can be performed in a state that the relative humidity is held at a high level. Accordingly even when the ozone treatment is performed by setting the temperature of the indoor unit 1 to approximately 25°C after finishing the cooling/dehumidifying operation, it is possible to extinguish the molds more efficiently.
- Fig. 6 is a flowchart of an operation method of the air conditioner in the embodiment 2 of the present invention
- Fig. 7 is a view showing the inside cleaning operation mode in the embodiment 2.
- the same reference signs are denoted for the same steps as in the Embodiment 1.
- the constitution which makes the embodiment 2 differ from the embodiment 1 lies in that, when the operation of the air conditioner is finished in any operation mode as shown in Fig. 6 (S601), the inside cleaning operation treatment can be performed (S209). That is, by preliminarily setting a program such that the inside cleaning operation treatment is executed, it is possible to perform the inside cleaning operation treatment also at the time of finishing the heating operation in addition to the finishing of the cooling operation and the dehumidifying operation.
- the louver 10 of the indoor unit 1 is moved to a position indicated by a dotted line to bring the air outlet portion in the inside of the indoor unit 1 into a closed state (S301, S302). Then, a temperature in the inside of the indoor unit 1 is measured.

- the cooling operation or the dehumidifying operation is started (S702), and the operation is continued until the temperature in the inside of the indoor unit 1 falls within the predetermined range.
- humidity in the inside of the indoor unit 1 is measured.
- a time limiting timer for ozone operation treatment sets a predetermined operation time (e.g., approximately 30 minutes), and the timer is started. Then, it is determined whether the predetermined time elapses or not (S304). At a point of time that the predetermined time elapses, the ozone generator 5 is stopped (S305). After confirmation of the stopping of the ozone generator 5, the heating operation is started (S306). Due to this heating operation, the inside of the indoor unit 1 is dried.
- the time limiting timer for heating operation processing sets a predetermined operation time (e.g., approximately 10 minutes), and the timer is started.
- the air conditioner of the embodiment 2 irrespective of the kind of the operation mode, the inside cleaning operation never fails to be executed (except for setting a period in which the inside cleaning operation is inhibited) and hence, the air conditioner can acquire an advantageous effect that the generation of molds in the indoor unit and the adhesion of odor materials to the indoor unit can be always prevented. Further, the air conditioner can acquire the advantageous effects that the operation requires no user's manipulation due to the automatic operation (realization of maintenance-free operation), and clean air can be always supplied to the inside of the room to maintain the inside of the room in a comfortable state.

- Fig. 9 is a flowchart of the inside cleaning operation mode
- Fig. 10 is a flowchart of a humidifying operation.
- the same reference signs are denoted for the same elements and steps as in the previous embodiments.
- the constitution which makes the embodiment 3 differ from the embodiment 1 lies in that the air conditioner includes a humidifier 12 as shown in Fig. 8 . That is, the inside of the indoor unit 1 is forcibly humidified and the sterilization of the inside of the indoor unit 1 by ozone is efficiently performed.
- the humidifying operation mode first of all, it is determined whether a water level in a humidifier 12 falls within a predetermined range or not (S1001).
- a water level in a humidifier 12 falls within a predetermined range or not (S1001).

- the operation of the humidifier 12 is started (S1003).
- the humidifier 12 is stopped (S1005) and the humidifying operation mode is finished (S903).
- the ozone generator 5 is driven to supply ozone into the inside of the indoor unit 1 (S303).
- a time limiting timer for ozone operation treatment sets a predetermined operation time (e.g., approximately 30 minutes), and the timer is started. Then, it is determined whether the predetermined time elapses or not (S304). At a point of time that the predetermined time elapses, the ozone generator 5 is stopped (S305). After confirmation of the stopping of the ozone generator 5, the heating operation is started (S306). Due to this heating operation, the inside of the indoor unit 1 is dried.
