Воздушно-тепловая завеса

Номер: RU0000169029U1

Полезная модель - воздушно-тепловая завеса - как машиностроительное изделие относится к устройствам локализованной вентиляции и предназначена для организации защиты открытого проема от протекания воздуха сквозь проем или для интенсивного перемешивания нагретыми струями втекающего через проем наружного воздуха. Полезная модель имеет в воздушном тракте по размаху сопла несколько радиальных вентиляторов двустороннего всасывания, нагнетательные окна которых соединены патрубками со сборным каналом воздуховыпускного устройства. В полезной модели улитки вентиляторов поочередно ориентированы в противоположные стороны. При этом встречные всасывающие окна на торцевых стенках двух ближайших улиток одинаковой ориентации направлены в свободное пространство, образованное торцевыми стенками этих улиток и криволинейной стенкой улитки противоположной ориентации, разделяющей их. Ориентация улиток в противоположные стороны позволяет до минимума сократить перекрытие всасывающих окон и за счет этого сдвинуть вентиляторы по размаху завесы настолько близко друг к другу, насколько допускает выступающий из улитки встроенный электродвигатель.Устройство полезной модели обеспечивает соответствие вентиляторов каталожным характеристикам и исключает уменьшение производительности, повышает удельную аэродинамическую мощность завесы (увеличивается расход воздуха в модуле тех же габаритов). Возрастает энергоэффективность завесы посредством выравнивания потока в водяном теплообменнике. Повышается надежность ТЭНов в равномерном потоке.

Thermally responsive walls can be formed of wall panels made from different materials and having staggered conduits with respect to each other when coupled together (e.g., pancaked or layered) to form a wall at one temperature. The staggered conduits in the different wall panels are configured such that they become aligned at a second temperature due to differences in expansion coefficients. The wall panels can be designed using a computing system that processes an algorithm that accounts for various parameters, such as the different thermal expansion coefficients.

Celing mounted ventilation fan with illumination

Номер: US20130315731A1

The ceiling mounted ventilation fan with illumination employs a configuration in which a second opening for guiding light from an illumination unit into the room is formed in a lower part of a main housing and in which a air inlet on a fan casing of a fan unit is provided so as to open toward upper part of the main housing. Thus the air inlet of the fan unit opens in a direction opposite to the second opening communicating with inside of the room. As a result, sounds such as operation noises from the fan unit that are transmitted to outside of the fan unit chiefly through the air inlet can be made to resist being transmitted through the second opening into the room, so that the noises can be reduced.

The invention relates generally to the field of airflow boosting devices. In particular, the invention relates to a booster fan for installation into a vent opening of a duct system in a forced air circulation and delivery system. In an embodiment, the booster fan includes a register plate for covering a vent opening. An opening or openings on the register plate provide an air outlet. A housing is secured to the register plate for enclosing a crossflow fan therein. The crossflow fan is disposed adjacent and spaced from the register plate and resiliently supported at both ends. A motor is resiliently connected to the crossflow fan. The housing also has an aperture for providing an air inlet communicating with the duct system. Preferably, two arcuate air deflection panels are provided in the housing for connecting the air inlet and air outlet to form a guided air passageway. 1. An airflow boosting assembly for installation in a vent opening of a duct system in a forced air circulation and delivery system , said airflow boosting assembly comprising:a housing, said housing being dimensioned to be smaller than the vent opening for passing therethrough;a register plate for covering said vent opening, said register plate having defined therein an air outlet;said housing having an air inlet spaced from said air outlet;a crossflow fan disposed between said air inlet and said air outlet, said crossflow fan having a rotational axis, said crossflow fan being oriented such that said rotational axis is generally parallel to said register plate, said crossflow fan having two end support members and a plurality of fan blades extending between and secured to said two end support members and a rigid blade support member disposed between said two end support members, said end support members and said rigid blade support member joining said fan blades at a location between said end support members to form a rigid structure;an elastomeric motor connector;a motor secured to said housing, ...
