Installation method for the whole-house air conditioning unit

Abstract

To provide a method for installing a whole building air conditioning unit capable of improving workability into a narrow installation space regardless of a duct piping environment.SOLUTION: A blower unit 4b constituting a whole building air conditioning unit includes first chamber parts 19 each having a first opening part 26 through which air-conditioned air 16 is blown out in a floor surface direction and a second opening part 27 through which the air-conditioned air 16 blown out by a blower 18 is blown out in a ceiling direction. A method for installing the whole building air conditioning unit 2b comprises: a first process of installing the blower unit 4b in an installation space 1; a second process of closing one of the first opening part 26 and the second opening part 27 (a first opening part 26b and a second opening part 27a) for each of the first chamber parts 19; a third process of communicating and connecting a duct to the other of the first opening part 26 and the second opening part 27 (a first opening part 26a and a second opening part 27b) for each of the first chamber parts 19; and a fourth process of placing an air conditioner unit 3 on a top part of the blower unit 4b installed in the first process.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 31

Claims

[Claim 1] A method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit, comprising an air conditioning unit that incorporates an air conditioning unit that blows out conditioned air drawn in from the outside, and a blower unit that incorporates at least two blowers that draw in the conditioned air at the bottom of the air conditioning unit and blow it out toward a duct extending to the target space, in an installation space having an opening of predetermined dimensions on the front side, The blower unit comprises a first chamber section provided on the rear side of the blower unit for each blower, the first chamber section having a first opening for blowing the conditioned air blown out by the blower toward the floor, and a second opening for blowing the conditioned air blown out by the blower toward the ceiling, The first step is to install the blower unit within the aforementioned installation space, A second step involves closing one of the first opening and the second opening for each of the first chamber sections. A third step involves connecting the duct to the other of the first opening and the second opening for each of the first chamber sections, The fourth step involves placing the air conditioner unit on top of the blower unit installed in the first step, The blower unit further comprises a second chamber section provided for each of the first chamber sections and connected to the first opening, which allows the conditioned air blown out from the first opening to be blown out through an internally configured air passage from a third opening provided on the front side of the blower unit. All of the third openings are located on the front side of the first chamber portion. If the third opening is closed in the second step, the first opening is considered to be in a closed state. A method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit, wherein when the duct is connected to the third opening in the third step, the first opening is considered to be connected to the duct. [Claim 2] The method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit according to claim 1, wherein in the second step, one of the third opening and the second opening is closed by fitting a lid over one of the first chamber sections. [Claim 3] The method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit according to claim 1, wherein in the second step, the third opening is closed by closing the first opening. [Claim 4] The blower unit further comprises a second chamber section, one of which is provided in common to each of the first chamber sections provided for each blower, and which allows the conditioned air blown out from the first opening to be blown out from a third opening provided on the front side of the blower unit via an internally configured air passage. In the second step, the first opening of the first chamber section having the second opening that communicates with the duct is further closed. The method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit according to claim 1, wherein in the third step, the duct is connected to the third opening, thereby connecting the first opening of the first chamber section having the closed second opening to the duct. [Claim 5] A method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit according to claim 1, further comprising a fifth step prior to the first step of arranging, for each of the first chamber sections, a first duct drawn out from the floor of the installation space into the installation space or a second duct drawn out from the ceiling of the installation space into the installation space, as the duct. [Claim 6] The method for installing a whole-house air conditioning unit according to claim 1, wherein the first step includes a sixth step of installing legs that form a predetermined gap between the blower unit and the floor surface of the installation space.
