  • Patent number: 8682492
    Abstract: A setting value controlling device comprises: a setting value information collecting and storing portion for collecting and storing temperature setting values from an air-conditioner controlling device; a setting value reset evaluating portion for resetting the temperature setting value to a reference setting value if the temperature setting value is not a more energy-conserving setting than the reference setting value when a specific reset time has been reached; and a reference setting value updating portion for updating the reference setting value to the updated temperature setting value if, when the temperature setting value has been updated by a user, the updated temperature setting value is a more energy-conserving setting than the reference setting value and a specific time interval has elapsed since updating of the temperature setting value.

  • Patent number: 8580010
    Abstract: A dew point temperature sensor detects and sends the dew point temperature of the supply air to a dry area, as a supply air dew point temperature, to a controller. The controller has a speed of rotation of the regenerating side fan (the regenerating air flow rate) to control, and determines a control value (the regenerating air flow rate) that causes the supply air dew point temperature to go to a target dew point temperature, and determines a supply air processing pre-cooling coil exit temperature setting value in accordance with this control value (where if the control value is in the direction of reducing the regenerating air flow rate, the supply air processing pre-cooling coil exit temperature setting value is increased). Note that what is controlled is the speed of rotation of the desiccant rotors, or the exit temperatures of the air heated by the hot water coils.
