VENTILATION APPARATUS AND VENTILATION SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240125490 titled 'VENTILATION APPARATUS AND VENTILATION SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a ventilation apparatus with a housing, intake and discharge flow paths, a cover, a total heat exchanger, and a dehumidification unit. The housing includes a first housing with a first hole and a second housing coupled to the first housing. The cover consists of a first cover and a second cover, with each covering one of the housings.
- Ventilation apparatus components:
- Housing with intake and discharge flow paths - Cover for the housing - Total heat exchanger for heat exchange - Dehumidification unit with a heat exchanger and drain tray
- Housing design:
- First housing with a first hole for access - Second housing coupled to the first housing - Cover includes first and second covers for housing protection
- Potential applications of this technology:
- Residential ventilation systems - Commercial building ventilation systems - Industrial ventilation systems
- Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient heat exchange between indoor and outdoor air - Effective dehumidification of indoor air - Easy access for maintenance and cleaning
- Benefits of this technology:
- Improved indoor air quality - Energy savings through heat exchange - Reduced humidity levels for comfort and health
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- HVAC systems for buildings - Ventilation systems for greenhouses - Air purification systems for clean rooms
- Possible prior art:
- Prior art related to ventilation systems with heat exchangers and dehumidification units - Older patents on housing designs for ventilation apparatus
- Unanswered Questions:
- How does this ventilation apparatus compare to traditional HVAC systems?
Traditional HVAC systems typically do not have integrated dehumidification units like the one described in this patent application. This ventilation apparatus offers a more comprehensive solution for indoor air quality control.
- What materials are used in the construction of the housing and cover?
The patent application does not specify the materials used in the construction of the housing and cover. Understanding the materials can provide insights into the durability and performance of the ventilation apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a ventilation apparatus including a housing including: an intake flow path provided to draw outdoor air into an indoor space and an discharge flow path provided to discharge indoor air to the outside, a cover covering the housing, a total heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between air flowing in the intake flow path and air flowing in the discharge flow path, and a dehumidification unit including a heat exchanger provided on the intake flow path configured to remove moisture in the air flowing in the intake flow path and a drain tray configured to collect condensate generated from the heat exchanger, wherein the housing includes a first housing including a first hole asymmetrically formed on one surface of the housing with respect to a center line of the one surface extending in a long axis direction and a short axis direction of the one surface and configured to allow the drain tray and the total heat exchanger to be withdrawn from the outside of the housing, and a second housing coupled to the first housing in an up-down direction and including a second hole disposed on an other surface of the housing and having a shape corresponding to the first hole in the up-down direction, wherein the cover includes a first cover forming a lower portion of the cover and a second cover coupled to the first cover in the up-down direction and forming an upper portion of the cover, and wherein one of the first housing and the second housing is covered by the first cover, and an other one of the first housing and the second housing is covered by the second cover.
