VENTILATOR WITH HUMIDITY CONTROL FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18550227 titled 'VENTILATOR WITH HUMIDITY CONTROL FUNCTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a ventilator with a humidity controller that adjusts the humidity of the supply airflow based on the temperature of the indoor space. The control unit manages the operation of the humidity controller to maintain the relative humidity close to a target level.
- The humidity controller humidifies or dehumidifies the supply airflow.
- The control unit adjusts the relative humidity based on the temperature of the indoor space.
- The system aims to bring the relative humidity closer to the target humidity under different temperature conditions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in HVAC systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to maintain optimal indoor air quality and comfort.
Problems Solved
1. Inefficient humidity control in traditional ventilators. 2. Inconsistent indoor air quality due to varying temperatures.
Benefits
1. Improved indoor air quality. 2. Enhanced comfort for occupants. 3. Energy efficiency by optimizing humidity control.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing indoor air quality in hospitals, schools, offices, and residential buildings.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional HVAC systems that do not have the capability to adjust humidity levels based on indoor temperature variations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing humidity control systems in terms of energy efficiency?
The patent application does not provide specific data on the energy efficiency of the system compared to existing technologies.
What are the potential maintenance requirements for this ventilator with a humidity controller?
The patent application does not address the maintenance needs or costs associated with this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
Ventilator includes humidity controller that humidifies or dehumidifies supply airflow, and control unit that controls operation of humidity controller. Control unit brings a relative humidity closer to target humidity, when a temperature of an indoor space is higher than or equal to a first reference temperature and lower than or equal to a second reference temperature, by using the relative humidity of the indoor space and bringing the relative humidity closer to the target humidity, and brings the relative humidity closer to target humidity, when the temperature of the indoor space is lower than the first reference temperature or higher than the second reference temperature, by using a converted relative humidity that is identified assuming that a temperature of the indoor space has changed to a third reference temperature set between the first reference temperature and the second reference temperature, and bringing the relative humidity closer to the target humidity.
