Air conditioner

Abstract

The invention is directed to downsize a humidity adjustment unit as much as possible, thereby reducing the whole size of an air conditioner. An air conditioner ( 1 ) includes a humidity adjustment unit ( 2 ) for adjusting air humidity, and a temperature adjustment unit ( 8 ) for adjusting air temperature. The humidity adjustment unit ( 2 ) includes a humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), first and second adsorption heat exchangers ( 14, 15 ) for adjusting the humidity of the air in the humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), and a humidity adjustment electrical component unit ( 19 ). The temperature adjustment unit ( 8 ) includes a temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ) aligned with the humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), and a temperature adjustment heat exchanger ( 94 ) which is contained in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ), and adjusts the temperature of the air. The humidity adjustment electrical component unit ( 19 ) includes a radiator fin ( 19 a ) which dissipates generated heat, and is arranged in an air flow passage in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ).

1 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a humidity adjustment unit ( 2 ) for adjusting air humidity, and a temperature adjustment unit ( 8 ) for adjusting air temperature, wherein   the humidity adjustment unit ( 2 ) includes a humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), a humidity adjustment section ( 11 ) for adjusting humidity of air in the humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), and a humidity adjustment electrical component unit ( 19 ),   the temperature adjustment unit ( 8 ) includes a temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ) aligned with the humidity adjustment casing ( 20 ), and a temperature adjustment section ( 91 ) which is contained in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ) to adjust temperature of air, and   the humidity adjustment electrical component unit ( 19 ) includes a radiator ( 19   a ) which dissipates generated heat, and is arranged in an air flow passage in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ).   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein
 the temperature adjustment section ( 91 ) includes a temperature adjustment heat exchanger ( 94 ) for adjusting the temperature of the air flowing in the air flow passage in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ), and   the humidity adjustment electrical component unit ( 19 ) is arranged upstream of the temperature adjustment heat exchanger ( 94 ).   
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner of  claim 2 , wherein
 the temperature adjustment heat exchanger ( 94 ) is obliquely arranged in the air flow passage in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ).   
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein
 the humidity adjustment section includes a refrigerant circuit ( 11 ) performing a refrigeration cycle, and connecting an adsorption heat exchanger ( 14 ,  15 ) which carries an adsorbent for adsorbing and desorbing moisture on a surface thereof, and a temperature adjustment compressor ( 12 ) which compresses a refrigerant, and   the temperature adjustment compressor ( 12 ) is arranged in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ).   
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein
 the temperature adjustment section includes a refrigerant circuit ( 91 ) performing a refrigeration cycle, and connecting a temperature adjustment heat exchanger ( 94 ) which adjusts the temperature of the air flowing in the air flow passage in the temperature adjustment casing ( 80 ), and a compressor ( 92 ) which is arranged in an outdoor unit, and compresses a refrigerant,   the humidity adjustment section ( 11 ) includes an adsorption heat exchanger ( 14 ,  15 ) which carries an adsorbent for adsorbing and desorbing moisture on a surface thereof, and   the adsorption heat exchanger ( 14 ,  15 ) is connected to the refrigerant circuit ( 91 ).   
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein
 the humidity adjustment unit ( 2 ) and the temperature adjustment unit ( 8 ) are separately constructed, and are integrally assembled in assembly of the air conditioner.
