DIFFUSER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612017 titled 'DIFFUSER

The diffuser described in the patent application is a device that can be connected to an air duct on a ceiling and has the ability to control the airflow coming out of it.

• The diffuser includes a main body with an air outlet, a first airflow guide that can open and close part of the air outlet, and a second airflow guide that can open and close the opening of the first airflow guide.
• The first airflow guide guides the airflow discharged from the air outlet when it is opened, while the second airflow guide directs the airflow discharged from the opening of the first airflow guide.
• The second airflow guide has a downwardly inclined surface to help guide the airflow in a specific direction.

Potential Applications: - HVAC systems in commercial buildings - Air circulation in large spaces like airports or shopping malls

Problems Solved: - Efficient control of airflow direction - Improved air distribution in a room

Benefits: - Better air quality - Energy savings due to optimized airflow distribution

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Diffuser for Improved Airflow Control in Commercial Buildings" This technology can be used in office buildings, hospitals, and other commercial spaces to enhance air quality and comfort for occupants.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on diffusers, air duct systems, and airflow control mechanisms in HVAC systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to further optimize airflow control in diffusers for improved energy efficiency and air quality.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this diffuser compare to traditional air vents in terms of efficiency? 2. Are there any studies showing the impact of improved airflow control on energy consumption in buildings?

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a diffuser. The diffuser comprises: a main body configured to be connected to an air duct installed on a ceiling, and comprising an air outlet; a first airflow guide configured to move up and down with respect to the main body to open and close at least a portion of the air outlet, and configured to guide an airflow discharged from the air outlet in response to the air outlet being opened, the first airflow guide comprising an opening configured to allow air to pass through the first airflow guide; and a second airflow guide configured to move up and down with respect to the main body and the first airflow guide to open and close the opening of the first airflow guide, and comprising a downwardly inclined surface configured to guide an airflow discharged from the opening in response to the opening being opened.
