OXYGEN ENRICHER AND AIR CONDITIONER PROVIDED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To replace air inside the primary side space of an oxygen enrichment membrane without utilizing an air flow by a fan in an oxygen enricher provided with the oxygen enrichment membrane and an air conditioner provided with the same. SOLUTION: An oxygen enrichment unit 6 is provided with an oxygen enrichment membrane module 61 and a vacuum pump 65. The oxygen enrichment membrane module 61 is provided with a module casing 62 and the oxygen enrichment membrane 63 arranged inside the module casing 62 so as to divide space inside the module casing 62 into a primary side space S1 and a secondary side space and capable of selectively permeating oxygen in air. The vacuum pump 65 sucks the air from the primary side space S1 to the secondary side space S2. The oxygen enrichment unit 6 supplies oxygen enriched air discharged from the vacuum pump 65 into a room by intermittently operating the vacuum pump 65. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
