Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of fungus which causes the bad odor of air conditioner easily by injecting fungus inhibitor directly against an evaporator. CONSTITUTION:The fungus probihitor of air-sol type is injected directly against the evaporator of air conditioner for a cabin of vehicle or a room to prevent generation of fungus, eliminate bad odor and clean air blown out of the air conditioner. The fungus prohibitor is limited to an air sol type and the prohibitor capable of being injected from a nozzle, especially a fine tubular nozzle which can inject the inhibitor from a small clearance toward the deep inside of the machine, is preferable. The fungus prohibitor is consisting at least of the fungus prohibitor and spraying agent and inclusion of other smell eliminating agent, adding agent, diluting agent or the like is preferable.

There are various mechanisms for air conditioners, but the air conditioners installed in ordinary passenger cars include a compressor that uses engine rotation to compress refrigerant, a condenser that liquefies the compressed refrigerant, a refrigerant liquid tank, an expansion valve, and refrigerant liquid. It consists of an evaporator that vaporizes the air, and a fan that circulates the air by blowing it onto the fins of the evaporator. The heat of vaporization of the medium near the evaporator cools the air that passes through it, but a drain hose is provided because water vapor in the air condenses at this time. However, since this evaporator is always in a damp state, mold is likely to grow there. It is said that the reason air with a bad odor is blown when the air conditioner starts is due to mold that has grown near the evaporator. l in the room! It was criticized for causing mist or natural evaporation, which diminished the experience.

However, these so-called chemical products merely reduce the odor in the room or fill it with other fragrances to make it feel less like a bad odor, but they do not eliminate the mold that causes the odor. If mold had grown, the only way to remove it would be to disassemble and clean air conditioner parts such as the blower motor, evaporator, and duct circuit, which would require extremely time and effort. An object of the invention is to provide a method for solving the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and easily preventing the growth of mold that causes bad odors in air conditioners.
