Adjustable Venting System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17988633 titled 'Adjustable Venting System
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for optimizing the venting system of a heating element to reduce air contamination.
- The method involves determining the location of the source of air contamination associated with the heating element.
- Based on the location of the contamination source, the method determines the optimal venting location and size for the venting system.
- The method includes automatically adjusting the current location or size of the vent to the determined optimal values.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in industrial settings where heating elements are used, such as in manufacturing plants or chemical processing facilities.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in reducing air contamination caused by heating elements, improving air quality and potentially reducing health risks for individuals working in the vicinity.
Benefits
The optimized venting system can lead to improved efficiency of the heating element, reduced energy consumption, and a healthier work environment.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in HVAC systems for commercial buildings, where optimizing venting systems can lead to better air quality and energy savings.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optimizing venting systems for heating elements in industrial or commercial settings, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the maintenance requirements of the heating element system?
The article does not address how the optimization of the venting system may affect the maintenance needs of the heating element setup.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in existing heating systems?
The abstract does not mention the potential costs associated with implementing the optimized venting system in existing heating systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a computing device, a location of a source of air contamination associated with a heating element and determining, based at least on the location of the source of air contamination, at least one of an optimal venting location or an optimal venting size of at least one vent of a venting system. The method further includes at least one of: (1) automatically adjusting a respective current location of the at least one vent of the venting system to a respective subsequent location based on the determined optimal venting location; or (2) automatically adjusting a respective current size of the at least one vent of the venting system to a respective subsequent size based on the determined optimal venting size.
