EMBEDDED VENTILATION FAN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18433529 titled 'EMBEDDED VENTILATION FAN

The embedded ventilation fan described in the patent application consists of a housing, a decorative panel, an air supply blower, an air exhaust blower, and a heat exchange element. The heat exchange element is positioned where the air supply passage and air exhaust passage intersect within the housing.

The decorative panel features a front surface, a rear surface, an air supply slit opening, an air exhaust slit opening, and a non-open zone.
The rear surface includes a protruding wall that extends towards the inner side of the housing.
The non-open zone is a section without any openings.
The air exhaust slit opening is separated from the non-open zone by the protruding wall on the rear surface.
The heat exchange element is located directly above the non-open zone and is not directly above the air supply slit opening or the air exhaust slit opening.

Potential Applications: - Residential ventilation systems - Commercial HVAC systems - Industrial air circulation systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient heat exchange in ventilation systems - Improved air quality in enclosed spaces

Benefits: - Enhanced energy efficiency - Better indoor air quality - Space-saving design

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Embedded Ventilation Fan for Improved Air Quality This technology can be utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to enhance ventilation and air quality, leading to healthier indoor environments. The market implications include increased demand for energy-efficient ventilation solutions.

Questions about Embedded Ventilation Fan: 1. How does the positioning of the heat exchange element contribute to the efficiency of the ventilation fan?

  The heat exchange element is strategically placed above the non-open zone to optimize heat transfer and improve overall performance.

2. What are the key advantages of using an embedded ventilation fan compared to traditional ventilation systems?

  Embedded ventilation fans offer space-saving design, improved air quality, and enhanced energy efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

An embedded ventilation fan includes a housing, a decorative panel, an air supply blower, an air exhaust blower, and a heat exchange element. The heat exchange element is disposed at a position where an air supply passage and an air exhaust passage cross each other in the housing. The decorative panel includes a front surface, a rear surface, an air supply slit opening, an air exhaust slit opening, and a non-open zone. The rear surface includes a protruding wall protruding toward an inner side of the housing. The non-open zone is a zone having no opening. The air exhaust slit opening is partitioned from the non-open zone by the protruding wall on the rear surface. The heat exchange element is disposed directly above the non-open zone and is not disposed directly above the air supply slit opening and the air exhaust slit opening.
