HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION APPARATUS AND HEAT-EXCHANGE VENTILATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133577 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 engaged when the supply air flow temperature is at or below a second temperature threshold, with specific adjustments to the blower operations.
  • The outdoor air temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the supply air flow throughout the process.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in HVAC systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to efficiently regulate heating and ventilation based on the temperature of the supply air flow.

Problems Solved

This innovation helps maintain optimal indoor temperatures by automatically adjusting the heater and blower operations in response to the temperature of the supply air flow, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.

Benefits

- Improved energy efficiency in HVAC systems - Enhanced comfort levels for occupants - Automated temperature regulation for hassle-free operation

Potential Commercial Applications

"Smart HVAC Control System for Energy-Efficient Heating and Ventilation"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to HVAC systems with temperature sensors and automated controls for heating and ventilation, but specific examples would need to be researched.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact energy consumption in HVAC systems?

This technology could potentially lead to energy savings by optimizing the operation of heaters and blowers based on the temperature of the supply air flow.

What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in HVAC systems?

The cost of implementing this technology would depend on factors such as system size, complexity, and the specific components required for integration. A cost-benefit analysis would be necessary to determine the financial implications for different applications.


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.
