  An indoor environment adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an indoor surface constituent member configured of a material including a far-infrared emitting material that radiates and / or absorbs far-infrared rays and has a far-infrared emissivity of 0.6 or more. A cooling and / or heating source having a cooling and / or heating surface made of a material containing the same far-infrared emitting material as the far-infrared emitting material of the interior surface component, and when the cooling source is cooled The far-infrared emitting material on the cooling surface absorbs the far-infrared radiation emitted by the far-infrared emitting material on the interior surface component and / or when the heating source is heated, the far-infrared emitting material on the heating surface radiates. The far-infrared radiation material of the indoor surface constituent member absorbs far-infrared rays.

  The indoor surface component is made of a stone material made of a far-infrared emitting material (detailed below), made of a material mixed with a far-infrared emitting material, or has a film made of a far-infrared emitting material. . The cooling and / or heating surface of the cooling and / or heating source is made of a stone made of a far-infrared emitting material, a material mixed with a far-infrared emitting material, or a film made of a far-infrared emitting material Consists of.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, an “interior surface constituent member” refers to a member that forms a surface exposed to a sealed space that is symmetrical with respect to environmental adjustment. The sealed space can be provided with opening / closing means such as a door or a window that enables communication between the inside and the outside. Typical examples of sealed spaces are rooms and corridors of buildings where people live and act, and in addition, spaces for storing or displaying items (for example, rooms in warehouses, product showcases, or artwork) Display case), a room for raising animals including livestock, and a room provided for a moving body (car, railway vehicle, ship, aircraft, etc.) for transporting humans and cargo. Taking a house in which a person lives as an example, typical examples of the indoor surface constituent members are members (building materials) constituting walls, ceilings, and floors. Openable and closable fittings (doors, shojis, fences, etc.) that are attached to a part of the wall and are provided to partition the interior and exterior of the room are also included in the indoor surface constituent members. Doors and bags for storage that are attached to the room are also included in the indoor surface components. When the storage compartment attached to the room subject to environmental adjustment is not completely separated from the room by doors or fences, the members constituting the exposed surface of the storage compartment are also It is included in the surface component.

  At least a part of the indoor surface components is made of a far-infrared emitting material that emits and / or absorbs far-infrared rays necessary for adjusting the indoor environment in one embodiment of the present invention, or contains a far-infrared emitting material. It is made of a material or has a film made of a far-infrared emitting material. In order to efficiently emit and absorb far-infrared rays, it is preferable that the far-infrared emitting substance mixed in the indoor surface constituent member is exposed to the indoor space. Nonetheless, the far-infrared emitting material in the interior surface component is not directly exposed to the indoor space and does not significantly interfere with the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption of the far-infrared emitting material (for example, It may be covered with a coating film, varnish layer, wallpaper, etc.) having a thickness of about 1 mm or less.

  The “far-infrared emitting material” refers to a material that emits and / or absorbs far-infrared rays. In the embodiment of the present invention, the far-infrared emitting material has a far-infrared emissivity of 0.6 or more, preferably 0.8 or more. Is a far-infrared emitting material. Such far-infrared emitting materials are usually so-called inorganic materials, such as natural and artificial minerals, metal and metalloid oxides, nitrides, carbides, sulfides, hydroxides, carbonates and the like salts and In addition to these composites (double salt) and charcoal, natural materials such as shells are also included. In addition, most of the far-infrared emitting materials in the embodiments of the present invention are ceramic materials in a broad sense (referring to inorganic materials other than metals), but the above emissivity conditions are satisfied even for organic materials and materials derived from organic materials. Can be used.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the form of the far-infrared emitting material in the member containing the far-infrared emitting material is not particularly limited as long as the member containing the far-infrared emitting material can emit and / or absorb far-infrared rays. Includes a member including a far infrared radiation material (stone), particles of far infrared radiation material, powder, aggregate, etc. (these are also collectively referred to as particles), and a film of far infrared radiation material. It can be in the form of a member or the like.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the “stone material made of a far-infrared emitting material” is a solid unit made of a natural or artificial inorganic material, and is usually used as a panel or tile-shaped building material. Examples of natural stone materials include granite and basalt. Needless to say, artificially produced stone may be used. Building materials such as artificial panels and other integral members can be considered stone.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, “a material mixed with a far-infrared emitting substance” refers to a material containing a far-infrared emitting substance as a part of the constituent components. The far-infrared emitting material in this case is typically particles of a natural or artificial inorganic material in the manufacturing material of the indoor surface component, the cooling source and / or the cooling of the heating source and / or the manufacturing material of the heating surface. It is mixed.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the “film made of a far-infrared emitting material” refers to a film of a far-infrared emitting material formed on the surface of a room constituent member or a cooling and / or heating source. This film can be formed by coating the target surface with a far-infrared radiation material by an appropriate film forming technique, for example, PVD technique such as spraying or vapor deposition, or CVD technique.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the far-infrared emitting material of the interior surface component and the far-infrared emitting material of the cooling and / or heating source are the same. As will be described in detail later, the indoor environment adjustment system of the present invention utilizes a phenomenon in which heat transfer between the same molecular species via thermal radiation is performed with higher efficiency than when not between the same molecular species. The indoor environment is adjusted by performing heat transfer with high efficiency through heat radiation between the indoor surface constituent member and the cooling and / or heating surface of the heating source. Therefore, in order for the system of the present invention to perform its intended function, the indoor surface components and the cooling and / or heating surface of the heating source in which heat transfer is performed between them is performed. In addition, substances of the same molecular species must exist.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the far-infrared emitting material of the indoor surface constituent member and the far-infrared emitting material of the cooling and / or heating source, which are composed of the same molecular species, are referred to as the same material. Here, the “same molecular species” indicates the property of emitting and / or absorbing far-infrared rays, and one substance (for example, indoor surface) whose far-infrared emissivity is 0.6 or more, preferably 0.8 or more. A far-infrared emitting material used in the component) and another material (cooling) that exhibits the property of emitting and / or absorbing far-infrared rays, and whose far-infrared emissivity is 0.6 or more, preferably 0.8 or more And / or far-infrared emitting material used on the cooling and / or heating surface of the heating source) is the same at the molecular level. The “molecule” here means a group of atoms bonded by chemical bonds. Therefore, the “molecule” here includes, for example, a crystal of a mineral constituting a natural stone material. The same minerals with substituted or solid solution of similar elements are regarded as substances of the same molecular species.

  In the case of a natural mineral, it is usually composed of a plurality of compounds, and on the macroscopic level, the crystal structure of these compounds may be different depending on the site in the mineral. However, in this case, the minerals cut out from the same place of origin are aggregates of substantially the same composition of substances of substantially the same molecular species, and as a whole are considered as “substances of the same molecular species”. Good.

  When inorganic material particles are used as the above-mentioned “far-infrared emitting material” in the interior surface component or the cooling and / or heating surface of the cooling and / or heating source, In general, substances other than inorganic material particles coexist. For example, when a room surface component is formed with plaster containing inorganic material particles as a far-infrared emitting material, or when a paint containing inorganic material particles as a far-infrared emitting material is applied to the surface of a cooling and / or heating source The inorganic material particles as the “far-infrared emitting substance” coexist with the aggregate in the plaster or the binder component in the paint.

  In such a case, substances other than the inorganic material particles as the above-mentioned “far-infrared emitting substance” also have the property of emitting and / or absorbing far-infrared rays more or less. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, since the heat transfer via thermal radiation between the same molecular species is performed with a significantly higher efficiency than when the same molecular species is not between the same molecular species, Materials that are not commonly present on both the component and the cooling and / or heating surface of the heating source may play a lesser role in the present invention.

  Therefore, when referring to “far-infrared emitting material” in the following description of the system of the temporary embodiment of the present invention, it is common to both the interior surface component and the cooling and / or heating source cooling surface. It refers to the same substance having a far-infrared emissivity of 0.6 or more, preferably 0.8 or more (a substance that causes a resonance phenomenon of molecular vibrations between the same molecules via electromagnetic waves described below). However, when referring to a substance that emits and / or absorbs far-infrared rays, it is clearly indicated that the substance refers to a substance other than the above-mentioned “far-infrared emitting substance”, or refers to another substance from the context. However, this is not the case.

  When inorganic material particles are used as far-infrared emitting materials on the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating surface of the cooling source, the particle size and shape of both particles are the same or different. Also good. The blending amount of the inorganic material particles contained in both the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating surface of the cooling source need not be the same. Further, for example, when the indoor surface constituent member forms a wall surface and a ceiling surface, and the inorganic material particles are used as the far infrared radiation material, the particle size and shape of the far infrared radiation material particles on the wall surface and the ceiling surface are: It may be the same or different. In this case, the inorganic material particles are transferred into the interior surface constituent member (in this example, the building material forming the wall surface and the ceiling surface) through the desired heat transfer between the same molecular species according to the present invention. It is blended in a content that enables At this time, the amount of the inorganic material particles may be the same or different between the building material forming the wall surface and the building material forming the ceiling surface. These also apply to the inorganic material particles of the far-infrared emitting material on each of the two or more wall surfaces.

  A plurality of types of far-infrared emitting materials may be used on the cooling and / or heating surface of the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating source. When the far-infrared emitting material is a stone material, two or more kinds of stone materials can be used in combination for the indoor surface component or the cooling and / or heating surface of the heating source. When the far-infrared emitting material is inorganic material particles, a mixture of two or more inorganic material particles can be used. In either case, if the combination of the inorganic material particles in the indoor surface constituent member and the combination of the inorganic material particles on the cooling and / or heating source and / or the heating surface are the same (if the same combination is included) They are considered to be “identical substances”.

  Inorganic material particles as far-infrared emitting materials contained in the interior surface components and the cooling and / or heating source of the cooling and / or heating source enable the desired heat transfer via thermal radiation between the same molecular species Present in them in an amount to make. Typically, the interior surface components and the cooling and / or heating source cooling and / or heating surfaces are often manufactured by different vendors outside of the construction site and delivered to the construction site or installed at the construction site. it is conceivable that. Therefore, it is considered that common inorganic material particles as far-infrared emitting materials are often mixed into the indoor surface constituent member and the cooling and / or heating surface by the respective manufacturers or contractors.

  In such a case, the content of the inorganic material particles as the far-infrared emitting material is a common content included in each manufacturing material of the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating source of each of the respective contractors. The amount of inorganic material particles. The inorganic material particle content in the interior surface component and in the cooling and / or heating surface forming material can be determined as an amount that makes heat transfer via heat radiation effective in one embodiment of the present invention. . The amount used is the amount of heat transfer required for the desired cooling and / or heating, the room surface components available for heat transfer via heat radiation and the area of the cooling and / or heating surface Depends on the thermal radiation characteristics of far-infrared radiation materials.

  The inorganic material particles as the far-infrared emitting substance have an effective effect when they are present in an amount of 1% by weight or more in the interior surface constituent material or in the material forming the cooling and / or heating surface. A more preferable effect can be obtained when it is present by weight% or more. On the other hand, when the inorganic material particles are used as the far-infrared emitting material, the upper limit of the content is actually included in the material that forms the cooling and / or heating surface of the indoor surface constituent member and the cooling and / or heating source. There is no particular limitation (theoretically, for example, 90% by weight may be sufficient). However, the maximum amount in practical use is the handling of the material forming the cooling and / or heating surface of the interior surface component and the cooling and / or heating source, and the manufacture of the interior surface component and the cooling and / or heating surface. It can be determined by the method.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of types of substances may be used as the inorganic material particles of the far-infrared emitting substance (a plurality of types of substances that are “identical at the molecular level” described above are used). In this case, the same mixture of inorganic material particles can be used for the indoor surface constituent member and the cooling and / or heating source cooling and / or heating surface. In this case, the content of the inorganic material particles in the material constituting the interior surface component material and the cooling and / or heating source forming the cooling surface is the total amount of the same kind of substances in the mixture. expressed.

  As a special example, different mixtures may be used if the interior surface component and the cooling and / or heating source cooling and / or heating surface contain one or more of the same inorganic material particles. For example, only the first type inorganic material particles are used on the first wall surface (interior surface constituent member), and only the second type inorganic material particles are used on the second wall surface (interior surface constituent member). It is also possible to use a mixture of two types of inorganic material particles on the cooling and / or heating surface.

  In order to efficiently emit and absorb far-infrared rays, it is preferable that the far-infrared emitting material is exposed to the indoor space where the environment is adjusted as much as possible. However, even if the far-infrared emitting material is not directly exposed to the indoor space, if it is covered with a protective layer of about 1 mm or less (for example, a paint layer, a varnish layer, wallpaper, etc.), it is a big problem. There is no.

  One embodiment of the present invention is that the far-infrared emitting material on the interior surface components and the cooling and / or heating source is exposed at or near the surfaces thereof. Contributes to heat transfer via thermal radiation between the same molecular species. Therefore, when the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating source are made of a material mixed with a far-infrared emitting material, the indoor surface component and the cooling and / or heating source Alternatively, the required content of the far-infrared emitting material on the heating surface is the surface or the vicinity of those surfaces that contribute to the heat transfer in one embodiment of the present invention (as described above, although not directly exposed to the indoor space. The far-infrared emitting material existing at a depth of about 1 mm from the surface can also contribute to heat transfer via thermal radiation between the same molecular species according to the present invention). Is appropriate. In other words, the content of the far-infrared emitting material in the present invention is the surface of the indoor surface component and the surface of the cooling and / or heating source for cooling and / or heating, and the depth of up to 1 mm from them. Appropriately expressed as the content of infrared radiation material.

  Nonetheless, the interior surface component (as described above, defined as a member constituting a surface exposed to a space (indoor space) such as a room or hallway subject to environmental adjustment) is paper (for example, wallpaper) ) Or a thin film or sheet-like material such as a painted film, or a layered material with a significant thickness formed from plaster, etc., or a structural member molded from concrete, etc. Whether composed of a single piece of material, as long as the materials are a homogeneous mixture, the content of far-infrared emitting material at their surface and its vicinity (eg, to a depth of 1 mm) Is expressed as the weight ratio of the far-infrared emitting material occupying the same) as the content expressed as the weight ratio of the far-infrared emitting material occupying the entire interior surface material. It can be regarded as.

  Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the far-infrared emitting material in the indoor surface constituent member can be considered that the indoor surface constituent member is composed of a uniform mixture (a mixture in which the distribution of constituent components is constant throughout the member). It shall be expressed by the content expressed as a weight ratio of the far-infrared emitting material in the entire material. When the indoor surface constituent member cannot be regarded as consisting of a uniform mixture (for example, when the distribution of constituent components in the thickness direction of the member is biased (concentration distribution)), the content of the far-infrared radiation material in the indoor surface constituent member Is represented by the average content (expressed as a weight percentage) of the far-infrared emitting material existing at a depth of 1 mm from the surface exposed to the indoor space. These also apply to the cooling and / or heating surface of the cooling and / or heating source composed of a material mixed with far-infrared emitting material.

The far-infrared emissivity of the far-infrared emitting material used in one embodiment of the present invention is 0.6 or more, preferably 0.8 or more, more preferably 0.9 or more. Far infrared rays refer to electromagnetic waves having a wavelength of 3 to 1000 μm. The emissivity of a material is defined by W / W ₀ where W ₀ is the ideal black body far-infrared radiation energy under the same conditions and W is the far-infrared radiation energy of the material. The emissivity value is preferably at room temperature (for example, 25 ° C.) close to the actual use temperature of the system of one embodiment of the present invention. For example, a value near 10 μm, which has a large thermal effect on the human body, is adopted.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the “cooling and / or heating surface” refers to cooling and / or heating that cools and / or heats an indoor surface component by heat transfer to and from the indoor surface component. Or it refers to the “surface” of the heating source involved in the heat transfer. In other words, the “cooling and / or heating surface” refers to the surface of the portion of the cooling and / or heating source where the same far-infrared emitting material as the far-infrared emitting material of the interior surface component is present. As described above, although the far-infrared emitting material is preferably exposed on this surface, it may be covered with a protective layer of about 1 mm or less. When the cooling surface of the cooling source is cooled, the far-infrared emitting material of the cooling surface absorbs the far-infrared radiation emitted by the far-infrared emitting material of the indoor surface component, and when the heating surface of the heating source is heated, The far-infrared radiation material of the indoor surface constituent member absorbs the far-infrared radiation emitted by the far-infrared radiation material on the heating surface.

  The present invention utilizes a phenomenon in which heat transfer (heat transfer) via thermal radiation between the same molecular species is performed with higher efficiency than when not between the same molecular species. Basically, by using the next cold radiation source, the inner surface of the room (for example, the wall surface) functions as a far-infrared absorbing member (secondary cold radiation source) from the human body to obtain a cooling effect for cooling the human body. It is a basic inventive idea. Also, as a principle opposite to this principle, the fins are heated in the opposite direction to form a heat supply source (primary heat radiation source), so that the inner surface of the room is a far infrared radiation member (secondary radiation source). The basic idea of the invention is that the interior of the room reduces the amount of far-infrared rays absorbed from the human body, thereby obtaining a heating effect that reduces the sensation that humans feel cold.

  For example, it is difficult to make the entire inner surface of a room a cooling surface using cold water or a heating surface using hot water from the viewpoint of cost and interior properties. However, by using a part of the inner surface of the room as a cold radiation source or a heat radiation source, the heat radiation from the human body in multiple directions surrounding the human body is absorbed by the surroundings during cooling, and the human body is surrounded by many during the heating. Heat radiation from the human body in the direction can be reduced. Therefore, even if the area of the cooling surface or the heating surface is limited and the installation location is limited, cooling or heating using heat radiation using the entire inner surface of the room can be performed.

  Hereinafter, the principle that heat exchange between the same molecular species via thermal radiation is performed with high efficiency will be described. The heat exchange between the same molecular species via thermal radiation is performed with high efficiency if the substance of the same molecular species (substance with the same composition and the same molecular structure) is used between the same molecules via electromagnetic waves. This is because a resonance phenomenon of molecular vibration occurs. In the case of heat exchange performed via far infrared rays, this resonance phenomenon is hereinafter referred to as far infrared resonance. This is similar to the fact that energy transmission is performed with high efficiency in the phenomenon of propagation of sonic energy between tuning forks with the same natural vibration frequency, or the transmission of electrical signals and electromagnetic waves between tuning circuits with the same tuning frequency. Can be understood as a phenomenon.

Hereinafter, this principle will be described based on the data. 1 (a) and 1 (b) show ZrO ₂ + CaO and Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ sprayed films (thickness 400 μm) as emissivity data with respect to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves of far-infrared radiation materials. The radiation characteristics when heated to 600 ° C. are shown. The component ratio of ZrO ₂ and CaO and the component ratio of Al ₂ O ₃ and TiO ₂ are 1: 1 (weight ratio), respectively.

FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B show that the emissivity characteristics with respect to the wavelength are different between the ZrO ₂ + CaO film and the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film. This indicates that if the composition of the far-infrared emitting material is different (that is, if the molecular species is different), the emissivity characteristics with respect to the wavelength are different.

Here, a temperature difference is given between the two films, the ZrO ₂ + CaO film is set to a relatively high temperature, the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film is set to a relatively low temperature, and far infrared rays emitted from the ZrO ₂ + CaO film are converted to Al ₂ O. Consider the case of ₃ + TiO ₂ film absorption. According to Kirchhoff's law, the emissivity is the same as the absorptivity of the material. Therefore, when an ideal condition is considered, the emissivity is emitted from the ZrO ₂ + CaO film at the wavelength where the emissivity matches, and Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO _2. Far-infrared rays traveling toward the coating are absorbed 100% by the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ coating. That is, far-infrared resonance occurs between the two films, and exchange of radiant energy without loss is performed from the viewpoint of energy transport efficiency. In this way, the far-infrared resonance that occurs and thus the far-infrared is absorbed with a small loss is hereinafter referred to as resonance absorption.

On the other hand, at a wavelength at which the emissivity of the ZrO ₂ + CaO film is larger than the emissivity of the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film, it is emitted from the ZrO ₂ + CaO film due to this difference in emissivity (absorption rate). Some of the far infrared rays are not absorbed by the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film. Since this is emissivity = absorption rate, if (emissivity of substance A> emissivity of substance B = absorption rate of substance B) at that wavelength, part of the radiant energy radiated from substance A is This is because the substance B is not absorbed. For example, when the emissivity of the substance A is 0.9 and the emissivity of the substance B is 0.1 at a certain wavelength, little far-infrared resonance occurs between both films, and the substance A is emitted from the substance A. Far-infrared rays of this wavelength are only slightly absorbed by substance B, and most of them are reflected. From the viewpoint of energy transport efficiency, this is an exchange of radiant energy with loss.

Also, considering the case of absorbing the far infrared rays emitted from the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film in the ZrO ₂ + CaO film by reversing the relationship of the temperature difference, the same reasoning, Far-infrared resonance occurs, and far-infrared rays emitted from the Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ film toward the ZrO ₂ + CaO film are absorbed 100% by ZrO ₂ + CaO (in the case of ideal conditions). However, at a wavelength where the emissivity of ZrO ₂ + CaO is smaller than that of Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ , far-infrared resonance does not occur so much between the two films, and the far wavelength of the wavelength emitted from Al ₂ O ₃ + TiO ₂ does not occur. A part of infrared rays is not absorbed by ZrO ₂ + CaO, and loss occurs.

  That is, between materials having different emissivity characteristics with respect to wavelength (that is, between different molecular species), loss occurs in the exchange of thermal radiation, even in an ideal case. On the other hand, between materials having the same emissivity characteristics with respect to wavelength (that is, between the same molecular species), in an ideal situation, no loss occurs in the exchange of thermal radiation due to far-infrared resonance. One embodiment of the present invention provides an indoor environment adjustment system based on the above-described principle of far-infrared resonance in which heat exchange between the same molecular species via thermal radiation is performed with high efficiency.

  An indoor environment adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. In the system according to an embodiment of the present invention, heat radiation between the indoor surface constituent member and the cooling surface of the cooling source is performed using a phenomenon in which heat transfer through thermal radiation between the same molecular species is performed with high efficiency. The cooling effect is obtained by performing the heat transfer through the heat exchanger with high efficiency.

  In this system, dehumidification at the cooling surface is only a secondary effect. The cooling surface exhibits a cooling effect by being cooled by a refrigerant or the like. At that time, when the temperature of the cooled cooling surface falls below the dew point of moisture present in the indoor environment, dew condensation occurs on the cooling surface, resulting in substantial dehumidification. Since moisture in the air is a far-infrared absorbing substance, it has a tendency to inhibit the far-infrared absorbing function of indoor surface constituent materials such as wall surfaces and the far-infrared absorption from the human body to the indoor surface constituent members. Therefore, when the indoor environment is dehumidified as a result of condensation on the cooling surface, the efficiency of the cooling effect using radiation by the system in one embodiment of the present invention can be increased. Furthermore, since the discomfort index is lowered as a result of dehumidification, the cooling effect can also be enhanced in this respect.

  As described above, dehumidification is advantageous in the system according to the embodiment of the present invention, but is not indispensable. Whether the dehumidification is performed depends on the humidity of the indoor environment to which the system according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied. And the temperature of the cooling surface cooled by a refrigerant or the like.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an outline of a room provided with an indoor environment adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2A is a plan view of the room, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ of FIG. In FIG. 2, a room 100 is shown. Here, the room 100 is a residential room such as a detached house or an apartment house. The room 100 includes an indoor space 101 having a hexahedral shape. The room includes a floor 200, a wall 300, and a ceiling 400. Here, the material included in the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 corresponds to the indoor surface constituent material. In the room 100, a far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 is arranged. Details of the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 will be described later.

  The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 shown in FIG. 2 is a device that can perform switching between cold radiation and thermal radiation. Cold radiation refers to the action of absorbing heat radiation from the surroundings when cooled, and heat radiation refers to the action of heat radiation toward the surroundings when heated. Say.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 is connected to a cold / hot water generator 111 which is an outdoor unit. The cold / hot water generator 111 has a heat pump function and generates cold water or hot water. This heat pump function operates according to the same principle as that used in ordinary air conditioners and the like. If only the cooling effect is obtained, only the function of generating cold water is required. Moreover, if only the heating effect is obtained, only the function of generating hot water is required.

  When cold water is supplied from the cold / hot water generator 111 to the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 110, fins described later are cooled and dehumidification is performed by condensation. Moreover, the surface of a fin functions as a cooling surface which performs cold radiation by being cooled. That is, the above-described cooling source corresponds to the fin, and the cooling surface corresponds to the surface of the fin. Further, when hot water is supplied from the cold / hot water generator 111 to the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 110, the fins are warmed, and the surface of the fins functions as a heating surface (thermal radiation surface). That is, the above-described heating source corresponds to the fin, and the heating surface corresponds to the surface of the fin. The cold water refers to water cooled by the cooling function of the cold / hot water generator 111, and the hot water refers to water heated by the heating function of the cold / hot water generator 111. In addition, the water droplets condensed on the fins are collected by dripping them into a basket and drained outdoors.

  FIG. 3 shows a far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device placed on the wall of a room with an indoor environmental conditioning system in one embodiment of the present invention. 3A is a front view of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B ′ of FIG. The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 is fixed to the floor surface 113 and the wall surface 114 of the room 100 (see FIG. 2). The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 is made of aluminum and includes a plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorption units 115 extending in the vertical direction. The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 can also be made of other metals or alloy materials with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, iron and copper, or alloys thereof.

  The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 includes a plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorption units 115, a water supply pipe 117, a drain pipe 118, struts 119 and 120, a rod 121 and a drain pipe 122. Here, in order to be able to clearly explain the arrangement of the components of the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 110, for convenience, the axis of the water absorption pipe 117 is used as the main axis, and the far-infrared radiation and / or The component of the absorber 110 is demonstrated.

  With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115 provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 will be described in detail. In the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorbers 115 are perpendicular to the main axis 117 and are arranged in parallel along the main axis 117. Further, the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 115 is arranged in parallel with the wall surface 114. The interior of the far infrared radiation and / or absorber 115 is made of, for example, aluminum. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 115 by a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft described later. The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 includes a shaft part 115a in which a medium flow path 115h extending in the axial direction is provided, and extends radially from the shaft part 115a, and extends in the axial direction of the shaft part 115a. 6 fins 115b to 115g. The angle formed between adjacent fins 115b to 115g is about 40 to 65 °. A medium such as water passes through the medium flow path 115h.

  Of the six fins 115b to 115g, the two fins 115d and 115g extend in the axial direction of the main shaft 117. The four fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f are at an angle of about 15 to 75 ° with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 117, preferably at an angle of about 40 to about 65 °, more preferably about 60. It is arranged diagonally at an angle of °.

  The length of the main shaft 117 in the axial direction of the fins 115d and 115g extending in the axial direction of the main shaft 117 is the length of the other fin on the surface formed by the main shaft 117 and the shaft of the shaft portion 115a (hereinafter referred to as the sub shaft). 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f are smaller than the shadow length when projected. Thereby, even when the arrangement | sequence density of far-infrared radiation and / or the absorption part 115 is raised by shortening the space | interval of far-infrared radiation and / or the absorption part 115, the adjacent two far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115 of two adjacent infrared radiations. The fins 115d and 115g can be prevented from overlapping each other. This also creates a gap between the two adjacent far-infrared radiation and / or fins 115d and 115g in the absorber 115, and this gap facilitates cleaning of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 110. The size of the gap is, for example, about 4 to about 5 cm. Since the plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorbers 115 are perpendicular to the main axis 117 and are arranged in parallel along the main axis 117, the sub-axis is perpendicular to the main axis and is aligned in parallel. Become.

  The surfaces of the fins 115b to 115g function as cooling surfaces and / or heating surfaces. The fins 115b to 115g function as a cold radiation source and / or a heat radiation source. The cooling surface can also function as a dehumidifying surface that dehumidifies by condensation.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the surfaces of the fins 115b to 115g are composed of white paint mixed with a pulverized granite (hereinafter referred to as stone powder) obtained by pulverizing granite showing a numerical value of emissivity of far-infrared exceeding 0.9. A coating layer 115i having a thickness of about 200 μm is formed. Note that another layer may be provided on the surface of the fin so that the coating layer exists in the vicinity of the surface. The particle size of the stone powder in the coating layer 115i is 50 μm or less. The content of the stone powder in the coating layer 115i is 20% by weight in the cured state (dry state) of the paint. More specifically, the coating layer 115i functions as a cooling surface and a heating surface. A coating layer 115i may also be provided on the shaft portion 115a. The shaft portion 115a can also radiate and / or absorb far-infrared rays, and can enhance the cooling and / or heating effects.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, a water supply pipe 117 is provided at the upper part of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115, and a drainage pipe 118 is provided at the lower part thereof. The water supply pipe 117 and the drain pipe 118 also function as a support member that supports the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 115. The water supply pipe 117 is connected to the upper end of the medium flow path 115h (see FIG. 4) at the upper end of the shaft portion 115a of each far infrared radiation and / or absorption portion 115, and the drain pipe 118 is each far infrared radiation and / or absorption. 115 is connected to the lower end of the medium flow path 115h (see FIG. 4) at the lower end of the shaft 115a. Moreover, each of the water supply pipe 117 and the drain pipe 118 is connected to the cold / hot water generator 111 (refer FIG. 2) arrange | positioned outdoors.

  Cold water or hot water supplied from the cold / hot water generator 111 shown in FIG. 2 is supplied from the water supply pipe 117 to the medium flow path 115 h inside the far infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115, and the far infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115. It flows downward through the internal medium flow path 115 h and is collected by the cold / hot water generator 111 through the drain pipe 118. The collected cold water or hot water is cooled or heated again in the cold / hot water generator 111 and supplied to the water supply pipe 117. By the circulation of the cold water or the hot water, the far infrared radiation and / or the temperature adjustment of the fins 115b to 115g of the absorption unit 115 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, both sides of the water supply pipe 117 and the drainage pipe 118 that support the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 from above and below are supported by columns 119 and 120. The lower ends of the columns 119 and 120 are fixed to the floor surface 113, and the upper portions of the columns 119 and 120 are fixed to the wall surface 114. Below the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115, a ridge 121 having a concave or V-shaped cross section is arranged. The jar 121 is an example of a water droplet collecting means for collecting water droplets that are condensed. The eaves 121 are supported by support columns 119 and 120 and are inclined to the left in the figure. The left end of the eaves 121 is connected to a water distribution pipe 122 extended outdoors. In this example, water droplets adhering to the fin due to condensation are dropped on the ridge 121, thereby being collected in the ridge 121, and finally drained outdoors from the drain pipe 122.

  As shown in the figure, the four fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 115 are at an angle in the range of about 15 to 75 ° with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 117, preferably 40 to 65. It is disposed obliquely at an angle in the range of about °, more preferably at an angle of about 60 °. Thereby, the surface of any one of the fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f can be viewed from a direction close to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the fin, when viewed from any location in the room 100. In other words, far infrared rays from any part of the room 100 reach the fin surface from a direction close to a direction perpendicular to the fin surface. Thereby, the far infrared rays that have reached the surface of the fin are efficiently absorbed by the coating layer on the surface of the fin.

  On the other hand, when the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber is configured with a single flat fin, far-infrared rays are emitted from an oblique direction with respect to the surface of the fin (a direction in which the angle perpendicular to the surface of the fin is large). It may be incident on the surface of the fin. In this case, since the ratio of the far infrared rays reflected on the surface of the fin may increase, the far infrared absorption efficiency in the fin may decrease.

  The four fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f are at an angle in the range of about 15 to 75 ° with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 117, preferably at an angle in the range of about 40 to 65 °, and more preferably about 60. Since they are arranged obliquely at an angle of °, far-infrared rays can be evenly emitted from the surfaces of the fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f to the wall 300 of the room 100.

  Each angle between the four fins 115b, 115c, 115e, 115f in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 115 and a plane that passes through the secondary shaft 115a and is perpendicular to the main shaft 117 is preferably about 25 to about 65 °, more preferably about 30 ° or about 45 °. As a result, the fin surface of any one of the fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f can be viewed from a direction close to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the fin from any location in the room 100. The far-infrared rays that reach the surface are efficiently absorbed by the coating layer on the surface of the fin.

  Further, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 115 has six fins 115b to 115g, so that the total area of the fins can be increased. Thereby, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption amount or radiation amount of the far-infrared in the absorption unit 115 is increased, and the efficiency of cooling and dehumidification in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 is also increased.

  The floor 200 of the room 100 shown in FIG. 2 is a board (so-called flooring) using a general material. 5-7 is a conceptual diagram which shows the structure of the building material used by this embodiment. FIG. 5 conceptually shows a cross-sectional structure of the floor 200 of the room 100. As shown in FIG. 5, the floor 200 of the room 100 has a cross-sectional structure in which a heat insulating panel 202 having a reflective surface for reflecting far-infrared rays and a plate member 204 are laminated on a housing 201 of a building. ing.

  On the surface of the plate material 204, two varnish layers 205 and 206 are formed as a surface protective layer. The varnish layer 205 in contact with the plate material 204 contains 10% by weight of the same stone powder adhered to the surface of the above-described fins 115b to 115g (see FIG. 4) and further pulverized to 0.5 μm or less. Yes. The varnish layer 205 is obtained by mixing stone powder with a raw material of varnish, stirring well, applying it in the same manner as a normal varnish, and drying it. The varnish layer 206 is a protective layer on the outermost surface, and is formed using the same varnish material as the varnish layer 205 without mixing stone powder.

  The wall 300 of the room 100 shown in FIG. 2 includes a plaster wall surface having a thickness of about 3 mm. In the plaster wall surface, the above-mentioned stone powder (particle size of 5 μm or less) is mixed with the plaster raw material so as to be 5% by weight in a cured state. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional structure of the wall 300. In FIG. 6, a housing 301 serving as a basis of the wall 300 is shown. A gypsum board 303 provided with an aluminum foil 302 on the side of the casing 301 is attached to the casing 301. On the indoor side of the gypsum board 303, the above-mentioned plaster containing stone powder is applied, and a plaster wall surface 304 having a thickness of about 3 mm is formed.

  The surface of the ceiling 400 of the room 100 is also a plaster surface having the same structure as the wall 300. In FIG. 7 showing the cross-sectional structure of the ceiling portion of the room 100, a casing 401 serving as the basis of the ceiling 400 is shown. A gypsum board 403 provided with an aluminum foil 402 is affixed to the interior side of the casing 401, and the plaster board 403 is coated with the above-described plaster containing the above-described stone powder. A ceiling surface 404 is formed.

  Next, the principle of cooling in the embodiment will be described. The indoor environment adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a technique that causes a human body in a room to absorb radiant heat and feel the coolness of the person. It is used to mean the effect of making you feel cool. FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the principle of the cooling effect in the present embodiment. 8A is a plan view of the room 100, and FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C 'of FIG. 8A. In the cold / hot water generator 111, cold water is generated and supplied to the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 for cooling.

  When the fins 115b to 115g (see FIGS. 3 and 4) of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 are cooled by cold water, the temperature of the stone powder contained in the coating layer on the fin surface decreases. As a result, far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared radiation energy density (radiation energy amount) from the fins of the absorber 110 is from the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 of the room 100 containing stone powder of the same composition. It becomes lower than the radiant energy density (specifically, the measured value of the thermal radiometer is smaller). This difference results in relative infrared radiation from the floor 200, wall 300, and ceiling 400 of the room 100 toward the far infrared radiation and / or the fins of the absorber 110. At this time, since the same far-infrared radiation material (stone powder) is included in both, the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the inner surface) of the room 100, the far-infrared radiation and The transfer of thermal energy via far infrared rays performed between the fins of the absorber 110 and / or the absorber 110 is performed with high efficiency. In FIGS. 8A and 8B, the thermal radiation (far infrared rays) at this time is conceptually shown by an arrow 41.

  At this time, since the principle of high exchange efficiency of thermal radiant energy between the same molecular species acts, the radiant energy density performed between the two is larger than when the same molecule is not used. Thus, the inner surface portion of the room 100 containing the stone powder is in a state in which far infrared radiation and / or the amount of heat radiation emitted toward the indoor space is reduced by the amount absorbed by the absorber 110. As a result, the difference from the amount of heat radiation emitted by the human body 43 increases, and the far infrared rays emitted from the human body 43 are easily absorbed by the inner surface portion of the room 100 containing the stone powder. Of course, there are also far-infrared radiation and / or thermal radiation that is directly absorbed by the absorber 110 from the human body 43 in the room 100. Thus, a cooling effect is obtained.

  FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the cooling action. 9A is a plan view of the room 100, and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line D-D ′ of FIG. 9A. As described above, the inner surface of the room 100 is in a state in which it easily absorbs heat radiation from the human body 43 in the room 100, so that the wavy arrow 42 in FIGS. As shown, heat radiation from the human body 43 to the surroundings is absorbed by the wall 300, the ceiling 400, and the floor 200. Thereby, heat is taken from the human body 43 in the form of heat radiation, and a cooling effect that feels cool is obtained.

  This cooling effect is such that heat is absorbed from the human body 43 in the form of heat radiation from the entire inner surface of the room. For this reason, even if the heat absorption capacity per unit area in the wall or the like is smaller than that of the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 110, it is effective within the area of the room inner surface and the angle range surrounding the human body 43. Since humans radiate heat evenly around them, heat is absorbed efficiently from the human body 43 by absorbing heat in the form of heat radiation throughout the interior of the room, and a high cooling effect (low sensory temperature) Is obtained. In addition, this effect only lowers the room temperature by about 1 to 2 ° C. However, since the amount of heat is taken away by the floor 200, the wall 300 and the ceiling 400 in the form of radiant heat directly from the human body, it is more than the decrease in room temperature. The human 43 can feel cool.

  Thus, a significant cooling effect can be obtained even if the temperature drop at room temperature is slight by utilizing the absorption action of the radiant heat generated by the human body. At this time, since the flow of cold air is not used, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of harmful effects caused by the cold air hitting the skin. In addition, the absorption of the radiant heat from the far-infrared absorbing component in the air is performed without unevenness in the room, so that the uneven temperature distribution in the vertical direction in the room can be reduced and the energy utilization efficiency can be increased. Moreover, since the decrease in room temperature is slight, the occurrence of so-called cooling disease symptoms can be suppressed.

  Further, the cooling of the system that absorbs radiant heat from the human body according to an embodiment of the present invention has a rapid rise in the cooling effect, and has a high immediate effect of so-called cooling. This is also useful in reducing high comfort and wasteful energy consumption. In particular, since the radiant heat from the human body 43 is absorbed by the three surfaces of the floor surface 200, the wall surface 300, and the ceiling surface 400, the cooling effect of the human body is high.

  Moreover, since the electric power required for cooling is less than that of normal cooling, energy saving can be achieved. In particular, when a solar cell is used to obtain a cooling effect, the cooling effect can be obtained effectively without using commercial power.

  Next, the principle of heating in one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The indoor environment adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a technology that causes a human body in a room to absorb radiant heat and feels warmth. Used to mean warmth. FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the principle of the heating effect in the present embodiment. FIG. 10A is a plan view of the room 100, and FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E 'of FIG. In the cold / hot water generator 111, heating is performed by generating hot water and supplying it to the far infrared radiation and / or absorber 110.

  When the fins 115b to 115g (see FIGS. 3 and 4) of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 110 are heated with warm water, the temperature of the stone powder contained in the coating layer on the fin surface increases. As a result, far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared rays are radiated from the fins 115 b to 115 g of the absorber 110 to the indoor space 101. In FIG. 10, far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared radiation emitted from the absorber 110 is conceptually indicated by an arrow indicated by reference numeral 44.

  Part of the far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared radiation radiated from the absorber 110 is absorbed by the far-infrared absorbing component in the air in the human 43 and the indoor space 101, and the others are absorbed by the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400. Absorbed. At this time, (1) the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 are not heated (that is, the temperature is lower than that of the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 110), and (2) the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling. 400 includes the same stone powder as the stone powder contained in the coating layer on the surface of the fin, which is the source of far infrared radiation from the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110, so that the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device The far infrared rays emitted by 110 are efficiently absorbed by the floor 200, the wall 300 and the ceiling 400.

  FIG. 11 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a heating operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. 11A is a plan view of the room 100, and FIG. 11B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F-F ′ of FIG. 11A. The floor 200, the wall 300 and the ceiling 400 that have absorbed far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared radiation from the absorber 110 re-radiate far-infrared radiation. In FIG. 11, the re-radiated far-infrared ray is conceptually indicated by a broken-line arrow 45. A part of the re-radiated far-infrared 45 is absorbed by the far-infrared absorbing component in the air of the human 43 and the indoor space 101, and the rest is re-absorbed by the floor 200, the wall 300 and the ceiling 400. When the far-infrared rays are re-radiated, the far-infrared rays are reflected indoors by the aluminum foil of the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400, and thus far-infrared radiation and / or far-infrared heat radiated from the absorber 110 is used. Energy dissipation is reduced. Thereby, the effective use of energy can be aimed at.

  By repeating the phenomenon of FIG. 10 → FIG. 11 → FIG. 10, the person 43 in the room receives far infrared rays (radiant heat) from the surroundings and feels warmth, and the far infrared absorbing component in the indoor air is reduced. Absorbs far infrared rays and raises temperature. A heating effect is thus obtained.

  According to the heating operation according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the heating is performed not by convection or heat conduction but by radiation that spreads over the entire room, so that deviation in temperature distribution in the room, particularly in the vertical direction, can be suppressed. Further, only the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 is directly heated, and heat is used for heating via the far infrared radiation emitted from the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110. Effective use of energy can be achieved. For this reason, waste of energy can be suppressed. Further, since the human body feels warm not only by the rise in room temperature but also by radiant heat, the input energy can be effectively used in this respect as well. Furthermore, since the flow of the air current is not used, there is no discomfort or adverse health effect caused by the hot air hitting the skin. When hot water using solar heat or self-generated electricity from solar cells is used as a heat source for heating, zero emission can be realized.

  In the case of a far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 having a width of 125 cm, a height of 180 cm, and a depth of 18 cm, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is necessary to adjust a predetermined indoor environment. The amount of cold water and / or hot water circulated was 5 liters. On the other hand, when the infrared radiation and / or absorption part is composed of a single flat fin, a far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 having a cooling and / or heating capability equivalent to that of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 of one embodiment of the present invention. The size of the infrared radiation and / or absorption device was 136 cm wide, 180 cm high and 22 cm deep. Further, the amount of cold water and / or hot water circulated to the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device necessary for adjusting the indoor environment was 30 liters.

  Thus, it can be seen that the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention can reduce the width and depth of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device. Also, the amount of cold water and / or hot water circulated to the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device can be very small (1/6), and the water cooled and / or heated by the cold water generator Since the amount can be reduced, the energy for cooling and / or heating the water by the cold / hot water generator can be greatly reduced. Further, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is compared with the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device in the case where the infrared radiation and / or absorption unit is configured by a single flat fin. A person can feel coolness and warmth in a short time after the start of driving the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 110. The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 in one embodiment of the present invention further increases the immediate effectiveness of so-called cooling and / or heating.

The far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device or the indoor environment adjustment system according to the above embodiment has the following operational effects.
(1) In the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device according to the above-described embodiment, the main shaft (the axis of the water supply pipe 117) and a plurality of sub-axes (the shaft of the shaft portion 115a) that are perpendicular to the main shaft and are arranged in parallel. ), And radiates and / or absorbs far-infrared rays, and includes a plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorbers 115 including six fins 115b to 115g extending in the axial direction of the secondary shaft, The infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115 is arranged in parallel along the main axis, and four fins 115b, 115c, 115e, 115f of the six radiation and / or absorption members are 15 with respect to the axial direction of the main axis. Are arranged obliquely at an angle in the range of ~ 75 °, preferably at an angle in the range of about 40-65 °, more preferably at an angle of about 60 °, and the six fins 115b to 115g And the surface or a far-infrared radiating and / or absorbing near far-infrared emissivity of the surface thereof to have a material comprising a far-infrared emitting material is 0.6 or more even. As a result, the efficiency of far-infrared radiation and / or absorption of the far-infrared of the absorption device 110 can be increased, and far-infrared radiation can be evenly emitted from the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110, so that high energy efficiency is achieved. You can adjust the indoor environment.

(2) In the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to the above-described embodiment, the angle formed between the adjacent fins 115b to 115g is about 60 °. This can further increase the efficiency of far-infrared radiation and / or absorption of the far-infrared of the absorber 110, and can further radiate far-infrared from the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 110 more evenly. The indoor environment can be adjusted with high energy efficiency.

(3) In the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device according to the above-described embodiment, the six fins 115b to 115g include two fins 115d and 115g extending in the axial direction of the main axis, and the fins 115d and 115g The axial length of the main axis is smaller than the axial length of the main axis of the shadow when the fins 115b, 115c, 115e, and 115f are projected onto the surface composed of the main axis and the sub axis. Alternatively, a gap is provided between the fins 115d and 115g in the absorbing portion 115. Thereby, when the fins 115b to 115g are condensed, it becomes easy to clean the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorber 110.

(4) In the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device according to the above-described embodiment, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 includes a shaft portion 115a along the minor axis, and the shaft portion 115a includes a shaft. A medium flow path 115h through which a medium for cooling and / or heating the portion 115a passes is provided. Thus, the surface of the fins 115b to 115g can function as a cooling surface by cooling the medium passing through the medium flow path 115h, and the fin 115b to 115g can be heated by heating the medium passing through the medium flow path 115h. The surface can function as a heating surface. Therefore, it is convenient because the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 can function as both a cooling device and a heating device.

(5) The indoor environment adjustment system according to the above embodiment is configured by disposing the far infrared radiation and / or absorption device 110 in the indoor space 101 to be adjusted. Thereby, the indoor environment can be adjusted with high energy efficiency.

(6) In the indoor environment adjustment system according to the above-described embodiment, the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 constituting the indoor surface of the indoor space 101 have the same far-infrared resonance with the far-infrared radiation material of the fins 115b to 115g. When the shaft portion 115a cools the fins 115b to 115g, the fin 115b to 115g becomes a primary cold radiation source during the cooling, and the far infrared radiation material of the fins 115b to 115g. However, the far-infrared radiation emitted by the far-infrared radiation material on the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 is resonantly absorbed, so that the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400 can be cooled in the room 101 and / or the human body 43 as secondary cold radiation. And / or when the shaft 115a heats the fins 115b-115g, during the heating, the fin 11 b-115g becomes a primary heat radiation source, and far-infrared radiation emitted from the far-infrared radiation material of the fins 115b-115g is resonance-absorbed by the far-infrared radiation material of the floor 200, the wall 300, and the ceiling 400, whereby the floor 200 The wall 300 and the ceiling 400 are used as a secondary heat radiation source for the room 101 and / or the human body 43. Thereby, the indoor environment can be adjusted with high energy efficiency.

The indoor environment adjustment system in one embodiment of the present invention can be modified as follows.
(1) In the indoor environment adjustment system in one embodiment of the present invention described above, the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member is the same as the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin. However, if the far-infrared emitting substance that resonates with the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin, the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface component is the same as the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin. It is not limited to the far-infrared radiation material which is. That is, the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member is different from the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin as long as it is a far-infrared emitting substance that resonates with the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin. It may be a far-infrared emitting material. Hereinafter, the far-infrared radiation substance contained in the material which comprises an indoor surface structural member is illustrated.

(I) The far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin and the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member both have an integral emissivity of 0.6 or more in the wavelength range of 4.5 to 20 μm, preferably Is 0.70 or more, and the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin and the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member, the wavelength 4.5 to 4.5 in the operating temperature range of the indoor environment adjustment system A far-infrared emitting substance contained in a material constituting an indoor surface constituent member such that an overlapping region on a spectral emission spectrum of 20 μm is 60% or more of black body radiation.
(Ii) In the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin and the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member, further on the spectral emission spectrum having a wavelength of 7 to 12 μm in the operating temperature range of the indoor environment adjustment system A far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member such that the overlapping region of the black body radiation is 60% or more of the black body radiation.
(Iii) A far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin and a far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member, and further on a spectral emission spectrum having a wavelength of 7 to 12 μm in the operating temperature range of the indoor environment adjustment system A far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member such that the overlapping area at 70% or more of the blackbody radiation.

  If the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin is different from the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituting member, the efficiency of energy transmission is lowered. However, when the far-infrared emitting material contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member described above is used, the far-infrared radiation radiated from the far-infrared emitting material contained in the fin by the far-infrared resonance Far-infrared radiation that is absorbed by the far-infrared radiation material contained in the constituent material with little loss and radiated from the far-infrared radiation material contained in the material constituting the interior surface component is less in the far-infrared radiation material contained in the fin Absorbed by loss. Therefore, even if the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the fin is different from the far-infrared emitting substance contained in the material constituting the indoor surface constituent member, the room enabling adjustment of the indoor environment with high energy efficiency An environmental adjustment system can be provided.

  The integral emissivity within the wavelength range of 4.5 to 20 μm can be obtained as follows. Measurement of radiant energy of far infrared rays in a normal temperature range is generally performed by spectral emissivity measurement by an FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis) method. The sample to be measured is set in the sample chamber surrounded by the pseudo black body wall, and far infrared rays emitted from the sample are guided to the spectroscope through a minute hole and at the same time pulled out from a standard black body furnace maintained at almost the same temperature as the sample. It is guided to a detector together with the far infrared rays, and the energy intensity (luminance) for each predetermined frequency section or wavelength section is measured. The display of the radiant energy intensity (luminance) for each predetermined wavelength section simultaneously with the black body radiation over the predetermined wavelength section is referred to as a “spectral radiance curve”. Also, the ratio (0 to 1.0) of the radiance from the sample and the luminance from the black body for each predetermined wavelength section, which is displayed over the entire wavelength section for each wavelength, is expressed as “spectral emissivity curve” or “spectral "Radiation spectrum". Here, “spectral emissivity” is the ratio of the radiant energy intensity (brightness) to the sample material at a specific wavelength and the radiant energy intensity from a black body at the same temperature and the same wavelength (a theoretical calculation is possible). “Total emissivity” is the ratio of the total radiant energy from a sample material at a specific temperature to the total radiant energy from a black body at the same temperature (a theoretical calculation is possible). Further, the ratio of the radiant energy intensity (luminance) from the sample material in a specific temperature and a specific wavelength section to the energy intensity (luminance) of black body radiation in the same temperature and the same wavelength section is referred to as “integrated emissivity”.

(2) In the above embodiment, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115 has six fins 115b to 115g extending radially from the shaft part 115a, but the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part has fins. The number is not limited to six. For example, like the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber 115A shown in FIG. 12 (a), the cross-sectional shape of the surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the sub-axis is arranged in a substantially V shape, and the sub-axis is The cold heat radiation part far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115A may have two fins 115Ab and 115Ac respectively disposed on one side and the other side of the surface 114a perpendicular to the main axis.

  Also in this case, the far-infrared rays that have reached the surface of the fin are efficiently absorbed by the coating layer on the surface of the fin, and far-infrared rays can be evenly emitted from the surface of the fin to the wall of the room. Alternatively, it is possible to increase the amount of far-infrared absorption or radiation in the absorption device and increase the efficiency of cooling in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device. The respective angles between the two fins 115Ab, 115Ac and the surface 114a passing through the minor axis and perpendicular to the main axis are preferably about 10 to about 80 degrees, more preferably about 25 to about 65 degrees, and even more Preferably from about 25 to about 50 °, or about 30 ° or about 45 °.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.12 (b), you may make it a far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115B have six fins 115Bb-115Bg other than the above-mentioned two fins 115Ab and 115Ac. That is, as long as the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 includes at least the two fins 115Ab and 115Ac described above, the number of fins included in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption unit 115 is not limited to six.

  12 (a) and 12 (b) are based on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the cross section of a modification. In FIG. 12, the coating layer provided on the surface of the fin is omitted.

(3) In one embodiment described above, the main surfaces of the fins 115b to 115g were smooth. However, the main surfaces of the fins 115b to 115g may have irregularities. Of the plurality of far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portions of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device, all the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portions may have irregularities on the main surfaces of the fins. There may be irregularities in the main surface of some of the fins of the far infrared radiation and / or absorption part. Here, the “main surfaces” are the two largest surfaces among the five surfaces constituting the surface of the fin.

  For example, at least one fin of the plurality of fins includes a plurality of protrusions extending in the axial direction of the sub-axis and arranged in the longitudinal direction of the cross section by a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the sub-axis of the fin. The fins may have two main surfaces. Thereby, far-infrared rays can be radiated evenly from the surface of the fin to the wall of the room. In addition, since the total area of the fins is further increased, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption amount or radiation amount in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portion is further increased, and the cooling efficiency in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portion is further increased. be able to.

  For example, like the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portion 115C shown in FIG. 13, the cross-sectional shape of the ridge portion 116C by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion 115Ca is such that the side 116Ck in the length direction 115Ck is the bottom side. You may make it be a triangle. Thereby, far infrared rays can be more uniformly radiated from the surface of the fin to the wall of the room. Further, even when far infrared rays radiated from the floor, walls, and ceiling of the room are reflected on the surface of the fin, since reflection is repeated between adjacent fins, the absorption rate of the far infrared rays in the fin is increased. .

  In the triangle having the shape of the cross section of the ridge portion by a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion, the angle formed between the bottom side of the triangle of the shape of the cross section of the ridge portion and two sides other than the base side is preferably About 30 to about 120 °. Thereby, far infrared rays can be more uniformly radiated from the surface of the fin to the wall of the room. For example, in the triangular shape of the cross section of the ridge portion 116C formed by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion 115Ca as in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portion 115C shown in FIG. The angle formed between the bottom side 116Ck of the triangular shape and the two sides 116Ca and 116Cb other than the bottom side may be 60 °. In this case, the shape of the cross section of the protrusion 116C is a regular triangle.

  Further, in the triangular shape of the cross section of the ridge portion 116D formed by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion 115Da like the far infrared radiation and / or absorption portion 115D shown in FIG. The angles formed between the sides 116Da and 116Db may be 45 ° and 90 °, respectively. In this case, the shape of the cross section of the protrusion 116D is a right-angled isosceles triangle. The height of the protruding portion is, for example, 1 mm, and the distance between the apexes of adjacent protruding portions is, for example, 2 mm.

  If the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorption amount or radiation amount of the far-infrared ray in the absorption part is increased, and the cooling efficiency in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part can be increased, The shape of the cross section of the ridge part by the surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft part is not limited to the ridge part having a triangular shape. For example, the fin portion may be provided with a rib portion whose cross-sectional shape by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion is a trapezoidal shape or a semicircular shape.

  FIG. 13 (a) is a perspective view of a portion of a modification of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13B is a diagram showing a cross section of a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion in the modified example, and FIG. 13C is a sectional view of the fin in the cross sectional view of the modified example in FIG. It is a figure which expands and shows. FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view taken along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion in a modification of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14B is an enlarged view of the fin portion in the cross-sectional view of the modified example of FIG. In FIGS. 13 and 14, the coating layer provided on the surface of the fin is omitted.

  The position of the ridge provided on one main surface of the fin and the position of the ridge provided on the other main surface of the fin are asymmetric with respect to the longitudinal surface extending from the secondary shaft. It may be. For example, like the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption part 115E shown in FIG. 15, the position of the protrusion 116E1 provided on one main surface of the fin 115Eb is the protrusion provided on the other main surface of the fin 115Eb. The position 116E2 may be shifted in the length direction 115Ek. Thus, when the shaft portion 115a using a metal such as aluminum and the fins 115b to 115g are integrally formed by a molding method such as an extrusion method, the thickness of the fins is reduced to reduce the protrusions in the fin thickness direction. The height can be increased and the fins can be reduced in weight. On the other hand, when the position of the protrusion provided on one main surface of the fin and the position of the protrusion provided on the other are symmetrical with respect to the plane in the direction in which the fin extends, the height of the protrusion Since the thickness of the fin increases as it increases, the fin may become heavier.

  In addition, when the material is integrally formed by a molding method such as an extrusion method, it may not be possible to form a molded body thinner than a predetermined thickness, for example, 1 mm. When the position of the protrusion provided on one main surface of the fin and the position of the protrusion provided on the other are symmetrical with respect to the plane in the direction in which the fin extends, the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the fin Therefore, if the maximum thickness of the fin is reduced, the minimum thickness of the fin is less than 1 mm, and integral molding may not be possible. On the other hand, the position of the protrusion provided on one main surface of the fin and the position of the protrusion provided on the other main surface of the fin are asymmetric with respect to the surface in the extending direction of the fin. In some cases, the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the fin can be reduced. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to reduce the maximum thickness of the fin, the minimum thickness of the fin can be set to 1 mm or more, and it can be integrally formed. is there. In addition, when the shaft portion 115a using a metal such as aluminum and the fins 115b to 115g are integrally formed by a molding method such as an extrusion method, the far-infrared radiation and / or the absorption portion can be efficiently manufactured.

  In FIG. 15, only one half of the length of the extending direction 115Ek of the fins 116E1 and 116E2 in the shape of the cross section of the ridges 116E1 and 116E2 by the surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion is provided on one main surface of the fin 115Eb. The position of the projecting ridge portion 116E1 is shifted in the fin extending direction 115Ek with respect to the position of the ridge portion 116E2 provided on the other main surface of the fin 115Eb. FIG. 15A is a cross-sectional view taken along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion in a modification of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15B is an enlarged view of the fin portion in the cross-sectional view of the modified example of FIG. In FIG. 15, the coating layer provided on the surface of the fin is omitted. Reference numeral 115Ea is a shaft portion.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the main surface of the fin may have a flat portion 116Dc between adjacent ridge portions 116D. Thereby, the coating layer can be uniformly formed on the surface of the fin. In the main surface of the fin, when a flat portion does not exist between adjacent ridge portions, when a paint containing a far-infrared emitting material is applied to the fin, a large amount of paint may accumulate between the adjacent ridge portions. However, by providing a flat portion between the adjacent ridge portions, it is possible to suppress a large amount of paint from being accumulated between the adjacent ridge portions, and it is possible to uniformly form the coating layer on the surface of the fin. Further, since the ridge portion is less likely to be behind the adjacent ridge portion, far infrared rays are less likely to be trapped between adjacent fins, and the efficiency of adjusting the indoor environment can be increased.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, in a plurality of projecting portions 116F, an angle formed by a base 116Fk of a triangular cross-sectional shape and sides 116Fa to 116Ff on the opposite side of the sub-axis of two sides other than the base May not be all the same. For example, like the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption portion 115F shown in FIG. 16, the triangular base 116Fk of the cross-sectional shape of the protruding portion 116F by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion and two sides other than the bottom side The angle formed between the sides 116Fa to 116Ff on the opposite side of the shaft portion 115Fa may be larger as the protrusion 116F is on the shaft portion 115Fa side. As a result, the exchange of heat radiation between the fins and the indoor surface constituent member is increased, and the indoor environment can be adjusted with further increased energy efficiency.

  FIG. 16A is a cross-sectional view taken along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion in a modification of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber provided in the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 16B is an enlarged view of the fin portion in the cross-sectional view of the modified example of FIG. In the triangles 116Fa to 116Ff of the cross-sectional shape, the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the sides 116Fa to 116Ff increases as the side 116Ff progresses to the side 116Ff.

  For example, the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Fa is 30 °, the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Fb is about 35 °, and the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Fc is about 40 °. In addition, the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Fd is about 45 °, the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Fe is about 50 °, and the angle formed by the base 116Fk and the side 116Ff is about 55 °. In FIG. 16, the coating layer provided on the surface of the fin is omitted.

  It should be noted that in the plurality of protruding portions, the angles formed by the base of the cross-sectional triangle and the side on the sub-axis side of the two sides other than the base may not be the same. In the plurality of protrusions, the angle formed by the base of the cross-sectional triangle and the side on the sub-axis side of the two sides other than the base, and the base of the triangular cross-section and the two other than the base The angles formed with the opposite side of the side opposite to the sub-axis side may not be the same.

(4) In the above embodiment, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device is disposed along the wall of the room, but the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption device is disposed along the wall. It is not limited to the position. For example, a far infrared radiation and / or absorption device may be placed in the center of the room.

(5) In the above embodiment, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber is arranged so that the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber extends in the vertical direction. The arrangement can be appropriately changed depending on the shape and size of the room where the far infrared radiation and / or the absorber device is installed. For example, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber may be arranged so that the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber extends in the left-right direction.

(6) In the above-described embodiment, the floor, the wall, and the ceiling are all configured to include stone or stone powder (far-infrared radiation material). Any of three types of combinations of a wall and a ceiling and a ceiling and a floor may be used. At this time, it is important that the far infrared rays radiated from one surface easily reach the other surface.

  When the combination of indoor surface components containing far-infrared radiation material is any of the three combinations of floor and wall, wall and ceiling, and ceiling and floor, the far-infrared radiation material is included on the entire surface of each indoor surface component. However, as the area not including the far-infrared emitting material increases, the radiation heat radiation and the loss during absorption increase in the portion not including the far-infrared emitting material. For this reason, the heating effect and the cooling effect using radiation in an embodiment of the present invention are reduced. Therefore, in the above combination, it is necessary to include the far-infrared emitting substance in an area of 50% or more, preferably 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more of the surface of each indoor surface constituent member. Moreover, the heating surface and / or the cooling surface may be divided and arranged in a plurality of places.

(7) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the pulverized material (stone powder) of the far-infrared emitting material is contained in the plaster or varnish has been described, but if it is a building material that can mix the pulverized material, the above example It is not limited. For example, the effects of the present invention can be obtained by including a pulverized product of far-infrared radiation material in an interior member such as wallpaper and using it. Further, instead of mixing the pulverized material with the material of the indoor surface constituent member such as a building material, the far infrared radiation substance may be coated on the surface of the indoor surface structural member using a ceramic coating technique.

(8) The floor of the room to which the indoor environment adjustment system of the above-described embodiment is applied may be a stone floor constituted by a stone panel in which granite as a raw material for stone powder is formed into a panel shape. Further, a floor heating device may be incorporated in the stone floor, and floor heating may be used during heating. In this case, it is possible to obtain a heating effect in which far infrared rays radiated from the stone bed are secondarily re-radiated from walls and ceilings containing stone powder of the same material as the stone bed, and far infrared rays are emitted from the entire room. In addition to the floor (or the floor is a normal floor such as a flooring), the walls and ceiling may be made of stone panels. Of course, the stone is not limited to granite.

(9) In the above embodiment, the case where granite, which is a natural stone, is used as the far-infrared emitting material has been described. However, the far-infrared emitting material may be other natural stones (for example, basalt) or ceramic materials (for example, silicon carbide). , Silicon nitride, glass, etc.). A plurality of types of far-infrared emitting materials may be mixed and used. In this case, the blending ratio of the far-infrared emitting material contained in at least the indoor surface constituent member selected from the floor, wall, and ceiling may be the same as the blending ratio of the far-infrared emitting material contained in the fin surface layer.

(10) Although water is used as the medium flowing in the medium flow path inside the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber in the above-described embodiment, a medium other than water may be used. For example, if it is for cooling only, a known refrigerant such as ammonia can be used as the medium. In addition, if it is exclusively for heating, oil or steam can be used as a medium.

(11) In one embodiment described above, the shaft portion 115 is cooled or heated by flowing a medium through the medium flow path 115h of the shaft portion 115a. However, as long as the shaft 115 can be cooled and / or heated, the method of cooling and / or heating the shaft 115 is not limited to the method of flowing a medium through the medium flow path 115h. For example, a heating element (for example, a heating wire) may be provided in the shaft portion to heat the shaft portion.

  Further, instead of cooling and / or heating the shaft portion, a cooling and / or heating portion for cooling and / or heating the fins is provided in the portion of the water supply pipe 117 and / or the drainage pipe 118 shown in FIG. The cooling and / or heating unit may heat and / or cool the fins. If the fin has good thermal conductivity, or if the longitudinal length of the fin is short, the entire fin can be cooled and / or heated simply by cooling and / or heating a portion of the fin (eg, only the end portion). Can be heated. In this case, the far-infrared radiation and / or absorber may not have a shaft for cooling and / or heating the fins. Further, the ends of the medium flow paths 115h of the adjacent far-infrared radiation and / or absorption section are connected by a pipe, and the medium discharged from the medium flow path 115h of the far-infrared radiation and / or absorption section is adjacent to the far infrared radiation. You may make it distribute | circulate in the medium flow path 115h of a radiation | emission and / or absorption part.

(12) In the above embodiment, far infrared rays have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to far infrared rays as long as it is a terahertz band electromagnetic wave. Here, the terahertz band electromagnetic wave is an electromagnetic wave having a frequency of 100 GHz to 100 THz (wavelength 3 μm to 3 mm). For example, the fin may have a material including a submillimeter wave emitting substance that emits and / or absorbs submillimeter waves at least on or near the surface thereof and has an emissivity of submillimeter waves of 0.6 or more. Further, in this case, the indoor surface constituent member that constitutes the indoor surface of the indoor space has a material containing the same or different submillimeter wave radiation substance that resonates with the submillimeter wave radiation substance of the fin, and when the fin is cooled, During the cooling, the fin becomes a primary cold radiation source, and the submillimeter wave radiating material of the fin resonantly absorbs the submillimeter wave emitted by the submillimeter wave radiating material of the indoor surface constituent member, thereby When the fin is heated as a secondary cold radiation source for the room and / or the human body, and / or when the fin is heated, the fin becomes the primary heat radiation source and the submillimeter radiation material of the fin radiates. The sub-millimeter wave radiation material of the indoor surface constituent member resonantly absorbs the wave, thereby making the indoor surface constituent member a secondary heat radiation source for the room and / or the human body.
