Abstract:
An air-conditioning device, comprising:an air passage in which air flows;a blower disposed in the air passage;a heat exchanger disposed in the air passage, for exchanging heat with air flowing through the air passage;a face blow-out port arranged at a downstream side of the air passage, for blowing air in a FACE mode;a foot blow-out port arranged at a downstream side of the air passage, for blowing air in a FOOT mode;a temperature setter to set a room setpoint temperature;a temperature data detector to detect temperature data including a room internal air temperature and a room external air temperature;a radiation amount detector to detect a radiation amount to the room; andan air amount calculating portion including a neural network, for calculating an air amount blown by the blower,wherein the air amount calculating portion receives input signals including the room setpoint temperature, the room internal air temperature, the room external air temperature and the radiation amount, independently calculates an air amount in the FACE mode and an air amount in the FOOT mode via the neural network, selects one of the air amount in the FACE mode and the FOOT mode, and outputs a final air amount based on a mode signal input thereto.
