According to such a configuration, for example, when the air temperature is appropriate and no temperature adjustment is required, the air directed to the drive impeller is taken in without passing through the heat exchanger, so that the resistance to the air when taking in the air is taken. It is possible to improve the efficiency of air blowing by efficiently taking in air.

Further, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, it is preferable that the heating means heats the heat exchanger with water heated by solar heat.

According to such a configuration, natural energy can be used not only for blowing air but also for heating, and an air conditioner having a small load on the environment can be obtained. In cooling, it is preferable to utilize the heat of vaporization when water is sprayed.

According to the present invention, air conditioning can be performed at low cost by utilizing natural wind.

The hot water is supplied by spraying or jetting to heat the heat exchange unit 15, and the air warmed through the heat exchange unit 15 is sent from the branch pipe 25 to the suction pipe 24 through a centrifugal blower (centrifugal compressor). After being sucked into, it is sent to the ventilation pipe from the scroll casing 6 as a discharge part. The warmed air sent to the ventilation pipe is used to heat the room and replace the air.

When the temperature is high, the switching plate 55 closes the suction pipe 24 to open the branch pipe 25, and the cold water of the cold water tank 17 is supplied from the nozzle 18 to the heat exchange unit 15 by injection or the like to exchange heat. The unit 15 is cooled, and the cooled air that has passed through the heat exchange unit 15 is sucked into the centrifugal blower (centrifugal compressor) from the branch pipe 25 via the suction pipe 24, and then from the scroll casing 6 as the discharge unit. It is sent to the ventilation pipe. The cold air sent to the ventilation pipe is used to cool the room and replace the air.

When the temperature is neither high nor low and the temperature is comfortable to spend, the switching plate 55 is set to a state in which the branch pipe 25 is closed and the suction pipe 24 is opened, and the outside air is taken in as it is to replace the air in the room. By controlling the temperature of the air sucked into the centrifugal fluid machine in this way, it can be used as an air conditioner capable of temperature control. By forcibly introducing air indoors, the indoor odor can be eliminated. The suction pipe 24 may be extended and arranged indoors to exhaust air from an indoor toilet or the like.

The switching plate 55 is rotationally moved by the motor 56 between a state in which the suction pipe 24 is closed and the branch pipe 25 is opened and a state in which the branch pipe 25 is closed and the suction pipe 24 is opened, but a control device (not shown).

It may be controlled.

The air conditioner 1 having such a configuration is installed and used on, for example, the rooftop of a building. In this case, the air collecting portion 12 of the air conditioner 1 is installed so as to face the windward side.
When the wind flows in from the opening 12a on the front side of the wind collecting portion 12, the flow path cross-sectional area of the wind collecting portion 12 becomes smaller toward the opening 12b on the rear side, so that the wind is throttled and the flow velocity is increased. Then, it flows into the tubular body 3 from the wind collecting portion 12.

When wind flows into the tubular body 3, the wind causes the drive impeller 4 inside the tubular body 3 to rotate. Then, the rotation speed of the drive impeller 4 is accelerated by the speed increaser (planetary gear mechanism) 7 and transmitted to the rotation shaft 5.
When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the driven impeller 51 rotates, and air is discharged from the ventilation pipe connected to the scroll casing 6 serving as the discharge portion by the centrifugal fluid machine as a centrifugal blower (centrifugal compressor). The air pushed outward by centrifugal force from the driven impeller 51 is compressed and discharged by a diffuser provided in the air flow path from the driven impeller 51 to the scroll casing 6. In the present embodiment, a centrifugal fluid machine is used to blow air from the air conditioner 1, but it can also be used as a device for supplying compressed air, not just blowing air. The power for blowing and compressing is wind power, which can reduce operating costs.

Further, the tubular body 3 is provided with a wind collecting unit 12 for collecting and introducing wind inside the tubular body 3, and the natural wind is efficiently collected by the air collecting unit 12. Since it can be introduced into the tubular body 3, the drive impeller 4 can be efficiently rotated to obtain compressed air. Further, since the centrifugal fluid machine rotates the driven impeller 51 to blow air and compress the air, the rotation of the drive impeller 4 can be efficiently used.

Further, the speed increaser 7 is composed of a planetary gear mechanism, the ring gear 71 of the planetary gear mechanism is attached to the drive impeller 4, the sun gear 72 is attached to the rotating shaft 5, and the planetary gear 73 is the ring gear 71 and the sun gear. Since it meshes with 72, the speed increase amount of the rotating shaft 5 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the number of teeth and the diameter of the ring gear 71, the planetary gear 73, and the sun gear 72.
In addition, a casing 45 is provided inside the drive impeller 4, a permanent magnet 9 is provided on either one of the drive impeller 4 and the casing, and the coil 8 has a predetermined gap with the permanent magnet 9 on the other. Since it is provided, compressed air can be obtained by rotating the drive impeller 4 by the natural wind, and power can be generated by the cooperation of the permanent magnet 9 and the coil 8. In this case, compressed air can be stored in an air tank and electricity can be stored in a storage battery, and can be used regardless of the presence or absence of wind and the strength of the wind. The generated electricity may be used for a heater or a cooler as a temperature control for the air conditioner 1. Further, when the centrifugal fluid machine is a centrifugal compressor, it may be used for compression and liquefaction of the refrigerant and used as a cooler.

In the present embodiment, the planetary gear mechanism is adopted as the speed increaser 7 that increases the rotation speed of the drive impeller 4 and transmits the rotation speed to the rotation shaft 5, but other various transmissions and speed increase. Machines can be used.
