An air conditioner disclosed herein includes a cooling/heating module including a thermoelastic material and an actuator applying tension to the thermoelastic material and a switching control section selectively applying or removing tension to/from the thermoelastic material.

Air conditioning device

A cooling/heating, module configured to cool and heat air includes: first and second cooling/heating sections (), each having a thermoelastic material (); and an actuator () applying tension to the thermoelastic material (). The actuator () is configured to alternately perform the operation of applying tension to the thermoelastic material () of the first cooling/heating section () and removing tension from the thermoelastic material () of the second cooling/heating section () and the operation of applying tension to the thermoelastic material () of the second cooling/heating section () and removing tension from the thermoelastic material () of the first cooling/heating section ().

Cooling/heating module and air conditioning device

In an adsorption heat exchanger, adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture is supported on a surface of a heat exchanger body. An adsorbent layer containing the adsorbent is formed on the surface of the heat exchanger body by applying slurry containing the adsorbent in a contracted state to the surface of the heat exchanger body and drying the slurry. A solvent of the slurry contains alcohol as a main component.
