| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research concerned air conditioning facilities in data centers that accommodate mostly IT equipment and precision machining factories that accommodate high-heat-generating machine tools. With the aim of cooling the heat generated by equipment in an accurate and highly efficient manner while ensuring a satisfactory indoor work environment for workers. The following results were obtained, 1) Clarification of determining factors in air conditioning efficiency and development of an air conditioning system that linked IT equipment and air conditioning facilities, 2) Development of a latent-heat/sensible-heat cooling system using cool outside air, 3)Quantification of maintenance data of air conditioning facilities and development of reliability evaluation tools associated with changes in room temperature, 4) Creation of a model for temperature-stratification formative factors in a displacement ventilation system and development of a prediction method

本研究では、IT機器や工作機器の冷却特性を解明し、機器の給排気を分離する給排気方式を実現した。これは、空調機の送風量削減を可能にし、空調機の吹出し温度を高くしても、所定の室温が維持でき、空調熱源機器の高効率化が図られると同時に、外気冷房の利用期間が延長し、一層の省エネルギー効果をもたらす。また、発熱密度が高い生産施設の空調設備において、空調用電源も含め故障に伴う影響が異なる複数の機器で構成されたシステムの信頼性評価方法を開発した。さらに、室内温度の変化、空調機の冷却能力の変化にも対応した複雑な機器構成の空調システムの信頼性評価ツールにより、最適な冗長構成の設計が可能になる。
