SELF-TESTING DUCT ENVIRONMENT DETECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18670158 titled 'SELF-TESTING DUCT ENVIRONMENT DETECTOR
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a self-testing duct environment detector system with a detector housing mounted outside a duct, containing a detector with a sensing chamber and a self-testing sensing apparatus. Two portions extend into the duct, with one having an inlet aperture and the other an outlet aperture.
- The system includes a detector housing with a sensing chamber and a self-testing sensing apparatus.
- Two portions extend into the duct, one with an inlet aperture and the other with an outlet aperture.
- The self-testing sensing apparatus determines if airflow through the detector housing is above a threshold.
Potential Applications: 1. HVAC systems 2. Industrial ventilation systems 3. Environmental monitoring in buildings
Problems Solved: 1. Ensures accurate detection of environmental conditions in ducts 2. Provides self-testing capabilities for continuous monitoring 3. Improves overall system reliability
Benefits: 1. Enhanced safety through accurate environmental monitoring 2. Reduced maintenance costs with self-testing capabilities 3. Increased efficiency in detecting changes in airflow
Commercial Applications: The self-testing duct environment detector system can be used in various industries such as HVAC, manufacturing, and commercial buildings for efficient and reliable environmental monitoring.
Questions about Self-Testing Duct Environment Detector: 1. How does the self-testing sensing apparatus determine airflow threshold? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the self-testing sensing apparatus for detecting environmental changes in ducts is ongoing.
Original Abstract Submitted
Devices, methods, and systems of a self-testing duct environment detector are described herein. One self-testing duct environment detector system includes a first portion to be mounted outside of a duct, the first portion having a detector housing with a space therein, the space having a detector with a sensing chamber and a self-testing sensing apparatus therein, wherein the self-testing sensing apparatus determines whether airflow through the detector housing is above a threshold and a second portion and third portion each configured to extend into the duct, wherein the second portion has at least one inlet aperture formed therein and wherein the third portion has at least on outlet aperture therein.
