Air-conditioning system and air-conditioning system controller

Provided is an air-conditioning system that air-conditions a house having an upper floor and a lower floor positioned at a lower position than the upper floor. The air-conditioning system includes an air-conditioning apparatus that conditions air in an air-conditioning room provided at the upper floor or at a higher position than the upper floor, a plurality of conveyance fans that conveys the air in the air-conditioning room to a plurality of upper rooms positioned at the higher floor independent of the air condition room, and is provided to correspond to the plurality of upper rooms, coupling fans that couple the upper rooms and lower rooms positioned at lower positions of the upper rooms to blow air from the upper rooms to the lower rooms, and a system controller that controls the air-conditioning apparatus, the conveyance fans, and the coupling fans.

Air-conditioning system

An air conditioning system controller is provided, which performs an air conditioning of a house through an air conditioning controller. The air conditioning system controller includes an in-house power generation amount obtaining section for obtaining a power generation amount generated by a natural energy power generator (for example, a solar power generation panel), an electric power amount obtaining section for obtaining a consumed electric power amount used in the house, a comparing section for comparing the power generation amount obtained by the in-house power generation amount obtaining section with a consumed electric power amount obtained by the electric power amount obtaining section and an air conditioning controlling section for controlling the air conditioning controller according to a comparison result provided by the comparing section.

Air conditioning system controller

An air conditioning system is provided, which includes a transfer fan for transferring air to a room as a space in a house from an air-conditioned room, a motion sensor for detecting whether the room is occupied or unoccupied and an air conditioning system controller for controlling the transfer fan. In the air conditioning system, a target air conditioning environment obtaining section obtains at least a target air conditioning environment of the room, an occupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the occupied room to approximate the occupied room to the target air conditioning environment according to information from the motion sensor and an unoccupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the unoccupied room to approximate the unoccupied room to a quasi-target air conditioning environment where an energy burden is lower than that of the occupied room according to information from the motion sensor.

Air conditioning system for transferring air in an air-conditioned room

A plurality of independent air conditioners, a first air conditioner (AC) (), a second AC (), and a third AC (), are disposed in an air conditioning room. Individual target temperatures of each habitable room that are acquired from an input/output terminal () and an outdoor temperature that is acquired by an outdoor temperature sensor () are input to a mode setter (). Based on the individual target temperatures and the outdoor temperature, the mode setter () sets a cooling mode and a cooling setpoint temperature for operation in the cooling mode, or a heating mode and a heating setpoint temperature for operation in the heating mode, for each of the first AC (), the second AC (), and the third AC ().

Air conditioning system

A ventilation and air conditioning system includes: an air conditioner that cools air in an air conditioning room; a plurality of transfer air fans that are installed for a plurality of rooms, which are independent of the air conditioning room, in one-to-one correspondence and each deliver the air in the air conditioning room to a corresponding room; and a system controller. For each of the plurality of rooms, the system controller calculates a dew point temperature in the room on the basis of the temperature and the humidity in the room, determines, on the basis of the calculated dew point temperature in the room and the temperature in the air conditioning room, the occurrence of condensation resulting from delivery of the air in the air conditioning room to the room, and controls, according to the result of the determination, the airflow of the transfer air fan corresponding to the room.

Ventilation and air conditioning system

This air-conditioning system includes an air conditioner: a room temperature sensor; an air-conditioning room temperature sensor; and a system controller. In the system controller, a room target temperature obtainer obtains a plurality of room target temperatures. Moreover, a ventilation airflow determiner determines the ventilation airflow of each of the delivery fans on the basis of the room target temperature, the temperature in the corresponding room, and the temperature in the air-conditioning room, and a fan airflow controller controls the ventilation airflow of each of the delivery fans according to the ventilation airflow determined by the ventilation airflow determiner.

An air-conditioning system includes a humidifier for humidifying air and a dehumidifier for dehumidifying air of an air-conditioned room, respectively, multiple transfer fans in each of multiple rooms to transfer air of the air-conditioned room to the rooms, a room humidity sensor for obtaining an indoor humidity of rooms, an air-conditioned room humidity sensor for obtaining a humidity of the air-conditioned room and a system controller. The system controller includes a humidity control section for controlling the humidifier and/or the dehumidifier to maintain the humidity within a humidity range, an air volume determining section for determining an air volume of each of the transfer fans according to the indoor humidity obtained by the room humidity sensor and the humidity obtained by the air-conditioned room humidity sensor and a fan air volume control section for controlling the air volume of the transfer fans according to the determined air volume.
