AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional CO2 separation systems struggle to quickly reduce CO2 concentration in a target space when the concentration increases rapidly, as they depend on the separation ability of the module, which limits their effectiveness.

Method used

A CO2 separation system that includes a control unit to manage two states: a first state for reducing CO2 concentration by adjusting airflow through a separation element and a second state for ventilation, with the control unit increasing separation capacity as CO2 concentration rises, and combining both states when the separation capacity exceeds a reference value.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces CO2 concentration quickly by dynamically adjusting airflow based on concentration levels, balancing separation and ventilation to maintain efficient CO2 removal while minimizing heat loss.

Abstract

A CO2 separation system (1) is a CO2 separation system including a CO2 separation part for separating CO2 from circulating air. The system includes a control part (5) that has a first state in which air in a target space in an indoor space is circulated to the CO2 separation part, and air with a reduced CO2 concentration is blown into the target space, and a second state in which ventilation of the target space is performed. The control part controls the first state and the second state. The CO2 separation part operates so as to increase CO2 separation capacity with an increase in CO2 concentration of air in the target space. The control unit (5) performs the operation in the first state until the CO2 separation capacity in the CO2 separation part reaches a reference value, and performs the operation by combining the first state and the second state when the reference value of the CO2 separation capacity is exceeded.

At the same time, outdoor air drawn in through outdoor air inlet 55 by driving outdoor air fan 41 passes through outdoor air introduction duct 56 and is sent from outdoor air port 43 to outdoor air space 25. Of the air in outdoor air space 25, air 49b, the flow rate of which has been adjusted by fourth flow rate adjuster 4d, is sent to air supply space 24, travels from air supply port 35 through indoor air outlet duct 54, reaches indoor air outlet 53, and is discharged to the target space through indoor air outlet 53.

[0055] In this way, the indoor air is circulated indoors in the first state and exhausted outdoors in the second state. 2 In the separation system 1, the first state and the second state are simultaneously operated at a predetermined flow rate ratio to separate CO 2 The predetermined flow rate is, for example, 2 CO detected by the concentration detection unit 7 2 The first state determines the CO concentration. 2 The air 39a with reduced concentration and the air 39b introduced from outdoors in the second state are mixed in the air supply space 24 and are discharged into the target space from the inside air outlet duct 54. At the same time, the CO 2 The air 49a with increased concentration and the air 49b introduced from the target space in the second state are mixed in the exhaust space 26 and are then discharged to the outdoors through the outside air outlet duct 58. 2 Separation system 1 separates CO from inside air into outside air. 2 is emitted, and the CO 2 The increase in concentration is suppressed.

[0056] The flow rate control in the flow rate adjusting unit 4 is performed as follows. 2 Concentration of CO 2 The CO concentration is measured by the concentration detection unit 7. 2 The concentration is transmitted to the control unit 5. 2 A flow control signal corresponding to the concentration is output from the control unit 5 to the flow rate adjusting unit 4. At this time, the inside air CO 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 The higher the concentration, the more the control unit 5 2 CO in separation system 1 2 The flow rate is controlled so as to increase the removal capacity. Specific control operations are described below.

[0057] CO 2 The separation element 20 has a specific CO 2 Therefore, there is an upper limit to the separation capacity. 2 When air is blown to the separation element 20 at a flow rate above a certain level, CO 2 An amount of CO exceeding the upper limit of separation capacity 2 Because the air is blown, appropriate CO 2 Therefore, CO 2 A reference value for separation capacity is set, and flow rate control is performed based on the reference value. 2 The upper limit of the separation capacity of the separation element 20, or CO 2 CO at the maximum blowing amount determined by the pressure loss characteristics of the separation element 20 2 Separation capabilities, etc. can be used.

[0058] Specifically, first, the internal CO 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 Required CO based on concentration 2 The amount of CO removed is determined. 2 The removal amount can be calculated, for example, by measuring CO 2 If the concentration is 700 ppm or less, it is equivalent to the CO 2 Emissions equivalent to 1st CO 2 If the removal amount is between 700 ppm and 1000 ppm, it is equivalent to the CO2 equivalent of three people. 2 Secondary CO equivalent to emissions 2If the removal amount is 1000 ppm or more, CO 2 Maximum CO of separation system 1 2 The amount of CO removed is determined by the first CO 2 Second CO 2 The amount of removal is larger than that of the second CO 2 Maximum CO removal amount 2 The amount of CO removed is greater than the required CO 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity is equal to or less than the reference value, the second flow rate adjusting unit 4b and the fourth flow rate adjusting unit 4d are closed in response to a signal from the control unit 5. Therefore, an air flow is not generated between the inside air space 23 and the exhaust space 26 and between the supply air space 24 and the outside air space 25. 2 If the separation capacity is below the standard value, 2 The separation system 1 operates only in the first state.

[0059] On the other hand, internal CO 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 Required CO based on concentration 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the second flow rate adjustment unit 4b and the fourth flow rate adjustment unit 4d are opened in accordance with a signal from the control unit 5, and the opening degrees of the second flow rate adjustment unit 4b and the fourth flow rate adjustment unit 4d are adjusted. Also, the opening degrees of the first flow rate adjustment unit 4a and the third flow rate adjustment unit 4c are adjusted so that the flow rate is smaller than the flow rate during operation in the first state only. Therefore, the opening degrees of the first flow rate adjustment unit 4a, the second flow rate adjustment unit 4b, the third flow rate adjustment unit 4c, and the fourth flow rate adjustment unit 4d are adjusted so that the flow rate is smaller than the flow rate during operation in the first state only. 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 When the same flow rate of air is blown, the CO concentration due to ventilation is adjusted. 2 The removal capacity is CO 2 CO by the separation element 20 2 Therefore, by reducing the flow rate of the first state and increasing the flow rate of the second state, 2 Separation system 1 as a whole 2 Therefore, the required CO 2 The amount of CO removed 2The separation capacity exceeds the standard value, and CO 2 When it is desired to reduce the concentration, the opening degrees of the second flow rate adjusting unit 4b and the fourth flow rate adjusting unit 4d are increased, and the opening degrees of the first flow rate adjusting unit 4a and the third flow rate adjusting unit 4c are decreased. 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the amount of air blown in the first state is reduced and air blown in the second state is started. This allows for quicker CO separation compared to when the system is operated only in the first state. 2 The concentration can be reduced.

[0060] When the first and second states are combined and operated, the required CO 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity falls below the reference value, the second flow rate control unit 4b and the fourth flow rate control unit 4d are closed, and the system is again operated in the first state only. This is because the heat loss of the air in the target space can be suppressed more effectively when the system is operated in the first state only than when the system is operated in a combination of the first and second states. 2 After adjusting the air volume to reduce the amount of CO removed, 2 If the concentration rises, the airflow rate may be adjusted again. If this is repeated, the airflow rate may be changed frequently near the threshold value. To avoid this, for example, 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 If the concentration remains below the threshold for 30 minutes, 2 It is preferable to perform control such that the air volume is adjusted in a direction to decrease the amount of removal.

[0061] By performing such control, CO 2 Depending on the concentration, CO 2 Separation and ventilation can be operated in combination, so CO 2 CO while suppressing heat loss according to concentration 2 CO concentration can be reduced quickly 2 It may be a separation system 1.

[0062] As described above, the CO 2The separation system 1 can provide the following effects.

[0063] (1) CO 2 The separation system 1 separates CO from air. 2 CO 2 Separation section (CO 2 CO separation element 20 2 A separation system that separates the air in a target indoor space into CO 2 The CO 2 The CO ventilator has a first state in which the air with reduced CO concentration is blown into the target space, and a second state in which the target space is ventilated, and includes a control unit 5 that controls the first state and the second state. 2 The separation unit separates the CO 2 With increasing concentration, CO 2 The control unit 5 operates to increase the separation capacity. 2 CO in the separation section 2 The operation continues in the first state until the separation capacity exceeds the reference value. 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the operation is performed in a combination of the first and second states.

[0064] With this configuration, CO 2 Depending on the concentration, CO 2 Separation and ventilation can be operated in combination. 2 CO while suppressing heat loss according to concentration 2 CO concentration can be reduced quickly 2 It may be a separation system 1.

[0065] (2) The control unit 5 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the amount of air blown in the first state is reduced, and air blown in the second state is started. 2 The CO 2 Ventilation can be performed while suppressing the amount of air blown to the separation element 20 .

[0066] (Embodiment 2) CO according to embodiment 2 2The separation system 1b differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the first state and the second state and the control method for the first state and the second state. 2 This is the same as the separation system 1. Hereinafter, the explanation of the contents already explained in the first embodiment will be omitted, and the differences from the first embodiment will be mainly explained.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 5, the CO 2 The separation system 1b will be described. 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a separation system.

[0068] CO 2 The separation system 1b is a CO 2 The separation system 1 does not include the flow rate adjusting unit 4, but instead includes an exhaust fan 32 and an intake fan 42. 2 Since it is the same as the separation system 1, the explanation will be omitted.

[0069] The exhaust fan 32 is provided in the partition wall 27 that separates the internal air space 23 and the exhaust space 26, and is a blower that adjusts the flow rate of air flowing from the internal air space 23 to the exhaust space 26. Driving the exhaust fan 32 causes air to flow from the internal air space 23 to the exhaust space 26. The exhaust fan 32 operates at the same timing as the second flow rate adjustment unit 4b in the first embodiment. Therefore, the exhaust fan 32 does not operate in the first state but operates in the second state. Furthermore, by adjusting the airflow rate of the exhaust fan 32, the flow rate of air flowing into the exhaust space 26 can be adjusted.

[0070] The supply air fan 42 is provided in the partition wall 28 that separates the supply air space 24 and the outdoor air space 25, and is a blower that adjusts the flow rate of air flowing from the outdoor air space 25 into the supply air space 24. Driving the supply air fan 42 causes air to flow from the outdoor air space 25 to the supply air space 24. The supply air fan 42 operates at the same timing as the fourth flow rate adjuster 4d in the first embodiment. Therefore, the supply air fan 42 does not operate in the first state but operates in the second state. Furthermore, the flow rate of air flowing into the exhaust space 26 can be adjusted by adjusting the airflow rate of the exhaust fan 32.

[0071] The above is CO 2 This shows the configuration of the separation system 1b.

[0072] Next, CO 2 The operation of the separation system 1b will now be described. 2 In the separation system 1b, the control unit 5 controls the exhaust fan 32 and the intake fan 42 to remove CO 2 CO 2 The device operates by combining a first state for reducing the concentration and a second state for ventilating the target space.

[0073] First, using FIG. 2 The air flow when the separation system 1b is operated in the first state will be described below. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the air flow in the first state in the second embodiment.

[0074] In the first state, CO 2 To reduce the concentration, the indoor air fan 31 and the outdoor air fan 41 are operated. In the first state, the air flowing due to the driving of the indoor air fan 31 is air 39a, and the air flowing due to the driving of the outdoor air fan 41 is air 49a. By driving the indoor air fan 31, the CO 2 present in the target space is reduced. 2 The air with a high concentration is sucked in through the indoor air inlet 51, passes through the indoor air introduction duct 52, and is sent to the indoor air space 23 through the indoor air port 33. By sending the air to the indoor air space 23, the air 39a in the indoor air space 23 at a flow rate corresponding to the airflow rate of the indoor air fan is CO 2 At the same time, the outside air is drawn in from the outdoor intake port 55 by driving the outside air fan 41, passes through the outside air introduction duct 56, and is sent to the outside air space 25 from the outside air port 43. By sending the air to the outside air space 25, the air 49a in the outside air space 25 at a flow rate according to the blowing rate of the outside air fan 41 is 2 The air 39a flows into the separation element 20. At this time, the air 39a has a higher concentration of CO than the air 49a. 2 Because of its high concentration, the CO 2 The effect of the separation element 20 is to 2 The concentration of CO decreases. 2The air 39a with reduced concentration is sent to the air supply space 24, passes through the air supply port 35 and the indoor air outlet 53 via the indoor air outlet duct 54, and is then discharged from the indoor outlet 53 into the target space. 2 The effect of the separation element 20 is to 2 The concentration increases, and CO 2 The air with increased concentration is sent to the exhaust space 26, passes through the exhaust port 45 and the outside air outlet duct 58, reaches the outdoor outlet 57, and is exhausted to the outdoors from the outdoor outlet 57. This is the air flow in the first state. At this time, the exhaust fan 32 and the supply air fan 42 are not operating.

[0075] Next, using FIG. 2 The air flow when the separation system 1b is operated in the second state will be described below. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the air flow in the second state in the second embodiment.

[0076] When operating in the second state, the exhaust fan 32 and the supply air fan 42 are operated in addition to the inside air fan 31 and the outside air fan 41. In the second state, the air flowing due to the driving of the inside air fan 31 is air 39b, and the air flowing due to the driving of the outside air fan 41 is air 49b. 2 Highly concentrated air is drawn in through indoor air inlet 51, passes through indoor air introduction duct 52, and is sent from indoor air port 33 to indoor air space 23. Since exhaust fan 32 is operating, air 39b from indoor air space 23 flows into exhaust space 26 at a flow rate corresponding to the airflow rate of exhaust fan 32. Air 39b that has flowed into exhaust space 26 travels from exhaust port 45 through outdoor air outlet duct 58 to outdoor air outlet 57 and is discharged to the outdoors through outdoor air outlet 57. At the same time, outdoor air drawn in through outdoor air inlet 55 by driving outdoor air fan 41 passes through outdoor air introduction duct 56 and is sent from outdoor air port 43 to outdoor air space 25. Since supply air fan 42 is operating, air 49b from outdoor air space 25 flows into supply air space 24 at a flow rate corresponding to the airflow rate of supply air fan 42. The air 49b that has flowed into the air supply space 24 travels from the air supply port 35 through the inside air outlet duct 54 to the indoor air outlet 53, and is then discharged from the indoor air outlet 53 into the target space.

[0077] In this way, the indoor air is circulated indoors in the first state and exhausted outdoors in the second state. 2 In the separation system 1b, the first state and the second state are simultaneously operated at a predetermined flow rate ratio to separate CO 2 The predetermined flow rate is, for example, 2 CO detected by the concentration detection unit 7 2 The first state determines the CO concentration. 2 The air 39a with reduced concentration and the air 49b introduced from outdoors in the second state are mixed in the air supply space 24 and are discharged into the target space from the inside air outlet duct 54. At the same time, the CO 2 The air 49a with increased concentration and the air 39b sent from the target space in the second state are mixed in the exhaust space 26 and are then discharged to the outside through the outside air outlet duct 58. 2 In the separation system 1b, CO 2 is released, and the CO 2 The increase in concentration is suppressed.

[0078] The airflow rates of the exhaust fan 32 and the intake fan 42 are controlled as follows. 2 Concentration of CO 2 The CO concentration is measured by the concentration detection unit 7. 2 The concentration is sent to the control unit 5, and the control unit 5 2 A flow control signal corresponding to the concentration is output to the exhaust fan 32 and the intake fan 42. 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 The higher the concentration, the more CO 2 CO in separation system 1b 2 The flow rate is controlled so as to increase the removal capacity. A specific control operation will be described below.

[0079] CO 2 The separation element 20 has a specific CO 2 Therefore, there is an upper limit to the separation capacity. 2 When air is blown to the separation element 20 at a flow rate above a certain level, CO2 The upper limit of separation capacity is exceeded, and appropriate CO 2 Therefore, CO 2 A reference value for separation capacity is set, and flow rate control is performed based on the reference value. 2 The upper limit of the separation capacity of the separation element 20, or CO 2 CO calculated backward from the required energy saving performance of the entire separation system 1b 2 The upper limit of the power consumption of the fan involved in the separation can be used. For example, 2 The separation element 20 is 2 The closer to the upper limit of separation capacity, the greater the CO2 emissions when airflow is increased. 2 The increase in separation capacity is gradual. 2 The amount of CO removed is equivalent to the amount of CO 2 When increasing the amount of CO 2 There are cases where the total heat loss and fan power consumption when the ventilation air volume is increased is lower than the increase in fan power consumption due to the increase in separation air volume. 2 Increasing separation capacity does not result in energy savings, so CO 2 A baseline value for separation capacity is determined.

[0080] Regarding the control operation, specifically, first, the inside air CO 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 Required CO based on concentration 2 The amount of CO removed is determined. 2 The removal amount can be calculated, for example, by measuring CO 2 If the concentration is 700 ppm or less, it is equivalent to the CO 2 Emissions equivalent to 1st CO 2 If the removal amount is between 700 ppm and 1000 ppm, it is equivalent to the CO2 equivalent of three people. 2 Secondary CO equivalent to emissions 2 If the removal amount is 1000 ppm or more, CO 2 Maximum CO of separation system 1b 2 The amount of CO removed is determined by the first CO 2 Second CO 2 The amount of removal is larger than that of the second CO 2Maximum CO removal amount 2 The amount of CO removed is greater than the required amount. 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity is below the reference value, the exhaust fan 32 and the supply fan 42 stop operating. Therefore, the air path is configured so that no air flows occur between the inside air space 23 and the exhaust air space 26, and between the supply air space 24 and the outside air space 25. 2 If the separation capacity is below the standard value, 2 The separation system 1b operates only in the first state.

[0081] On the other hand, internal CO 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2 Required CO based on concentration 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the exhaust fan 32 and the intake fan 42 start operating in accordance with a signal from the control unit 5. Specifically, the required CO 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the air blowing in the second state is started while maintaining the air blowing volume in the first state. 2 In addition to separation, ventilation can be performed in parallel, so CO 2 The concentration can be reduced.

[0082] When the first and second states are combined and operated, the required CO 2 The amount of CO removed 2 When the separation capacity falls below the reference value, the exhaust fan 32 and the intake fan 42 are stopped and the system operates in the first mode only. This is because the heat loss of the air in the target space can be suppressed more effectively when the system operates in the first mode only than when the system operates in a combination of the first and second modes. 2 After adjusting the air volume to reduce the amount of CO removed, 2 If the concentration rises, the airflow rate may be adjusted again. If this is repeated, the airflow rate may be changed frequently near the threshold value. To avoid this, for example, 2 CO measured by the concentration detection unit 7 2If the concentration remains below the threshold for 30 minutes, 2 It is preferable to perform control such that the air volume is adjusted in a direction to decrease the amount of removal.

[0083] By performing such control, CO 2 Depending on the concentration, CO 2 Separation and ventilation can be operated in combination, so CO 2 CO while suppressing heat loss according to concentration 2 CO concentration can be reduced quickly 2 It can be a separation system 1b.

[0084] As described above, the CO 2 According to the separation system 1b, the CO 2 In addition to the effect (1) obtained by the separation system 1, the following effect can be enjoyed.

[0085] (3) CO 2 The separation system 1b includes an internal air fan 31 that blows air from a return air duct (internal air duct 52) ​​to a supply air duct (supply air duct 54), and an exhaust fan 32 that blows air from the return air duct (internal air duct 52) ​​to an exhaust air duct (exhaust air duct 58). 2 Separation section (CO 2 CO in the separation element 20 2 When the separation capacity exceeds the reference value, the exhaust fan 32 starts operating while maintaining the airflow rate of the internal air fan 31. 2 Separation section (CO 2 CO in the separation element 20 2 Since separation and exhaust can be performed at the same time, CO 2 The concentration can be reduced.

[0086] The present disclosure has been described above based on the embodiments. These embodiments are merely examples, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible in the combination of the respective components or the respective treatment processes, and that such modifications are also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0087] In the first embodiment, the inside air fan 31 is provided in the inside air space 23, but this is not limiting. For example, the inside air fan 31 may be provided in a location upstream of the inside air space 23 and connected to the inside air space 23 (for example, in the inside air introduction duct 52), or in the air supply space 24, or in a location downstream of the air supply space 24 and connected to the air supply space 24 (for example, in the inside air outlet duct 54). In this case, the inside air drawn in from the target space through the inside air port 33 by driving the inside air fan 31 is passed through the inside air filter 37, the first flow rate adjuster 4a, the CO 2 The air passes through the separation element 20 and the first backflow suppression unit 8a and reaches the air supply space 24. Furthermore, by driving the internal air fan 31, outside air is drawn in through the outside air port 43. The drawn outside air passes through the outside air filter 47 and the fourth flow rate adjustment unit 4d and reaches the air supply space 24. The air that has reached the air supply space is discharged into the target space through the air supply port 35.

[0088] In the first embodiment, the outdoor air fan 41 is provided in the outdoor air space 25, but this is not limiting. For example, the outdoor air fan 41 may be provided in a location upstream of the outdoor air space 25 and connected to the outdoor air space 25 (for example, in the outdoor air intake duct 56), or in the exhaust space 26, or in a location downstream of the exhaust space 26 and connected to the exhaust space 26 (for example, in the outdoor air outlet duct 58). In this case, outdoor air drawn in from the outdoors through the outdoor air port 43 by driving the outdoor air fan 41 is passed through the outdoor air filter 47, the third flow rate adjuster 4c, the CO 2 The air passes through the separation element 20 and the second backflow suppression unit 8b and reaches the exhaust space 26. Furthermore, by driving the outside air fan 41, inside air is drawn in through the inside air port 33. The drawn inside air passes through the inside air filter 37 and the second flow rate adjustment unit 4b and reaches the exhaust space 26. The air that has reached the exhaust space 26 is discharged to the outdoors through the exhaust port 45.

[0089] In the second state of the first embodiment, heat exchange may be performed between the first air blown from the outside air duct to the supply air duct and the second air blown from the return air duct to the exhaust air duct. For heat exchange, for example, a heat exchanger may be provided within the housing 10, and a duct for introducing the first air into the heat exchanger, a duct for introducing the second air into the heat exchanger, a duct for introducing the heat-exchanged first air into the exhaust air duct, and a duct for introducing the heat-exchanged second air into the exhaust air duct may be connected to the heat exchanger. This allows heat exchange between the outside air and the inside air before flowing into the target space, thereby reducing heat loss due to ventilation. The heat exchanger may also be provided outside the housing 10. Alternatively, the heat-exchanged first air may be directly introduced into the target space. Similarly, the heat-exchanged second air may be directly exhausted outdoors. Alternatively, heat exchange may be performed between the return air from the target space and the outside air, and the heat-exchanged air may be supplied to the target space.

[0090] In the first embodiment, the outside air is taken into the housing 10 through the outside air port 43, but this is not limiting. The outside air does not necessarily have to be outdoor air, and may be, for example, air outside the target space, which is CO 2 In the case where air from outside the target space is to be drawn in, the outdoor intake port 55 is provided in an appropriate location such as the ceiling.
