HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION APPARATUS AND HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18548230 titled 'HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION APPARATUS AND HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The control unit in this patent application operates a heater based on the temperature of the supply air flow, as measured by an outdoor air temperature sensor. It also controls a protective operation mode when the temperature of the supply air flow falls below a certain threshold, adjusting the operation of the air supply blower and exhaust blower accordingly.
- The control unit activates the heater when the supply air flow temperature is at or below a first temperature threshold.
- The protective operation mode is triggered when the supply air flow temperature is at or below a second temperature threshold, with specific adjustments to the blower operations.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in HVAC systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to efficiently regulate indoor air temperature and maintain comfort levels.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently controlling the operation of heaters and blowers based on supply air flow temperature. 2. Preventing overheating or overcooling of indoor spaces by implementing a protective operation mode.
Benefits
1. Energy savings by optimizing the operation of heating and ventilation systems. 2. Improved comfort and temperature control within buildings. 3. Enhanced system reliability and longevity.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing HVAC systems in buildings, warehouses, data centers, and other facilities to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art related to similar control units in HVAC systems may exist, but specific examples are not provided in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing HVAC control systems on the market?
This technology offers a more precise and responsive control of heaters and blowers based on supply air flow temperature, potentially leading to improved energy efficiency and comfort levels compared to traditional systems.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in HVAC systems?
The cost of implementing this technology may vary depending on the complexity of the HVAC system and the specific requirements of the building. However, the potential energy savings and operational benefits could offset the initial investment over time.
Original Abstract Submitted
The control unit causes a heater to operate when a temperature of a supply air flow is equal to or lower than a first temperature threshold, the temperature of the supply air flow being measured by an outdoor air temperature sensor while an air supply blower and an exhaust blower are in operation and the heater is stopped; and controls a protective operation mode when a temperature of the supply air flow is equal to or lower than a second temperature threshold, the protective operation mode being a mode in which the air supply blower is intermittently operated or is stopped and the exhaust blower continues operation, the temperature of the supply air flow being measured by the outdoor air temperature sensor after the heater is caused to operate.
