Air composition adjustment device, refrigeration apparatus, and transportation container
An air composition adjustment device is provided with a cover unit including a cover that covers around a gas sensor, an inflow path that takes air into the cover, and an outflow path that causes air to flow out from the cover.
1. An air composition adjustment device comprising:
a transfer unit that transfers air;
an adjuster that adjusts the composition of air in a target space;
an air circuit that introduces air into the adjuster by the transfer unit and supplies composition-adjusted air to the target space;
a gas sensor arranged in the target space to measure a component in air; and
a cover unit including a cover that covers around the gas sensor, an inflow path that takes air into the cover, and an outflow path that causes air to flow out from the cover.
2. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
an inner diameter of the inflow path- and an inner diameter of the outflow path are 1 mm or more and 4 mm or less.
3. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the outflow path is positioned at an upper portion of the cover.
4. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the inflow path is positioned at a lower portion of the cover.
5. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the gas sensor includes a sensor positioned on a straight line connecting the inflow path and the outflow path together.
6. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the inflow path is formed by a first hole provided in the cover, and
the outflow path is formed by a second hole provided in the cover.
7. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the inflow path is formed by a first tubular portion connected to the cover, and
the outflow path is formed by a second tubular portion connected to the cover.
8. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , wherein
the gas sensor is configured to generate heat while being turned ON, and
the cover is configured to generate an air flow due to heat generation of the gas sensor.
9. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a sensor casing that houses the gas sensor therein,
the sensor casing including an introduction port that introduces air into the sensor casing; and
the cover being arranged between the introduction port and the gas sensor.
10. The air composition adjustment device of claim 9 , wherein
the introduction port is arranged below the gas sensor, and
the cover has a portion arranged below the gas sensor.
11. The air composition adjustment device of claim 9 , wherein
the introduction port includes a first introduction port that introduces air in the target space into the sensor casing and a second introduction port that introduces air outside the target space into the sensor casing, and
at least one of the first introduction port or the second introduction port is arranged below the gas sensor, and
the cover has a portion arranged below the gas sensor.
12. The air composition adjustment device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a contact reducer that reduces contact of a corrosive component in air with the gas sensor,
the contact reducer including an adsorbing member being capable of adsorbing the corrosive component in the air thereto.
13. The air composition adjustment device of claim 12 , further comprising:
a sensor casing that houses the gas sensor therein,
the adsorbing member being arranged inside the sensor casing.
14. The air composition adjustment device of claim 12 , further comprising:
a sensor casing that houses the gas sensor therein, and and an introduction path that introduces air into the sensor casing, the introduction path being connected to the sensor casing,
the adsorbing member being arranged in the introduction path.
15. The air composition adjustment device of claim 12 , further comprising:
a sensor casing that houses the gas sensor therein,
the sensor casing having an introduction port that introduces air into the sensor casing, and
the adsorbing member being arranged in the introduction port.
16. The air composition adjustment device of claim 12 , wherein
the adsorbing member is arranged in an inflow portion through which air flows into the air circuit.
17. The air composition adjustment device of claim 12 , wherein
the adsorbing member is capable of adsorbing a corrosive component including sulfur or phosphorus.
18. A refrigeration apparatus comprising:
components of a refrigerant circuit that perform a refrigeration cycle; and an air composition adjuster that adjusts the composition of air in a target space,
the refrigerant circuit including an evaporator that cools the air in the target space, and
the air composition adjuster including the air composition adjustment device of claim 1 .
19. A transportation container comprising:
a container body configured to transport a fresh item; and a transportation refrigeration apparatus configured to cool the inside of the container body as a target space,
the transportation refrigeration apparatus including the refrigeration apparatus of claim 18 .
