VENTILATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945661 titled 'VENTILATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a ventilation apparatus that includes a housing with inlets for outside air and room air, and outlets for supplying air to an indoor space and discharging air to an outdoor space. It also includes temperature sensors for measuring the temperatures of the outside air and room air, a total heat exchanger for heat exchange between the two air streams, blowers for air circulation, and a processor for performing a drying operation on the heat exchanger based on the temperature difference between the outside air and room air.
- The ventilation apparatus has separate inlets for outside air and room air.
- It includes temperature sensors to measure the temperatures of the outside air and room air.
- The total heat exchanger allows for heat exchange between the two air streams.
- The blowers facilitate air circulation within the apparatus.
- The processor operates the blowers to perform a drying operation on the heat exchanger based on the temperature difference between the outside air and room air.
Potential Applications
- Residential ventilation systems
- Commercial ventilation systems
- Industrial ventilation systems
Problems Solved
- Improves indoor air quality by exchanging heat between outside air and room air.
- Reduces humidity levels in the room air by performing a drying operation on the heat exchanger.
Benefits
- Enhances energy efficiency by utilizing the heat exchange process.
- Provides a comfortable indoor environment by controlling temperature and humidity levels.
Original Abstract Submitted
A ventilation apparatus includes: a housing including a first inlet through which outside air is sucked, a second inlet through which room air is sucked, a first outlet through which air is supplied to an indoor space, and a second outlet through which air is discharged to an outdoor space; an outside temperature sensor configured to measure a first temperature of the outside air; a room temperature sensor configured to measure a second temperature of the room air; a total heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between the outside air and the room air; a first blower communicating with the first outlet; a second blower communicating with the second outlet; and a processor to perform a drying operation for the total heat exchanger by operating at least one of the first blower or the second blower, based on a difference value between the first temperature and the second temperature.
