    摘要: An apparatus for producing a clean air curtain to protect a first individual and a second individual from germ transfer between themselves has a housing having an input port and an output port. The apparatus comprises a fan disposed in the housing in communication with the input port to draw air into an input channel through the input port, and in communication with the output port through an output channel to force air from the input channel through the output channel and out the output port. The output channel configured to cause the air forced out the output port to create a laminar flow air curtain. The apparatus has an air filter positioned across the input channel to clean the air drawn through the input port. A method for protecting a first individual and a second individual from germ transfer between themselves with an air curtain.

    摘要: An air-wall room system, suspended from a room ceiling, having a compressed air discharge duct. The air discharge duct is used for circulating compressed air into a hollow, four sided, upper air-wall frame with air openings. The air from the upper air-wall frame is circulated into a work space. The hollow upper air-wall frame includes air discharge ports for creating an air-wall. The air-wall, similar to a curtain, prevents toxic gases from escaping outside the work space. Corners of the upper air-wall frame are attached to vertical frame members. A bottom of the vertical frame members is attached to corners of a hollow, four sided, lower air-wall frame. The lower air-wall frame includes vacuum ports for receiving the bottom of the air-wall. A side of the lower air-wall frame is connected to a vacuum air exhaust duct. The air exhaust duct is used for drawing a vacuum in the hollow lower air-wall frame and exhausting the air-wall out a vacuum air exhaust duct.

    摘要: An air plenum provides protection from viruses and particulates to a user located beneath the air plenum. The air plenum has a housing with a fan centrally located within the housing. Low-velocity air is emitted downwardly from the fan through a perforated screen on a lower side of the housing onto the user. A slot diffuser extends around a lower periphery of the housing and emits high-velocity air downwardly to form an air curtain around the user. The higher velocity air of the air curtain reduces the ability of unwanted particulate matter to enter the area that is below the perforated screen.

    摘要: An air curtain containment system and assembly for data centers forms an air curtain over the server cabinets thereby separating hot air in a hot aisle from cool ambient air. The air curtain containment system includes ducts which include a hot air intake section that receives hot air discharged from servers, which are disposed in server cabinets. The ducts include heat exchangers for cooling the hot air and at least one air curtain discharge section. A housing is coupled to a wall of the ducts, and includes a cooling edge device fan. The cooling edge device fan is disposed along the ducts, and is configured to draw the hot air for cooling through the heat exchangers. An air curtain fan assembly is disposed along the ducts. The air curtain fan assembly expels cold air through the air curtain discharge section, and thereby forms an air curtain over the server cabinets.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for minimizing the amount of smoke to which a shielded person is exposed. The apparatus, or air rail, has a conduit and a fan. The conduit has an air outlet through which air is forced by the fan. In operation, the fan generates an air flow that enters the conduit and exits through the air outlet. The exited air flow is directed generally away from the shielded person and is interposed between the shielded person and the smoke. The exited air flow therefore creates a barrier which minimizes the amount of smoke to which the shielded person is exposed. By minimizing the amount of smoke to which the shielded person is exposed, the apparatus and method creates a better environment for the shielded person.

    摘要: An air conditioner for cooling or heating partitioned zones of an interior of a vehicle includes an air conditioning part and air curtain forming apparatus. The air conditioning part cools and heats intake air. The cooled or heated intake air is supplied to the air curtain forming apparatus. In the air curtain forming apparatus, the cooled or heated air entering the air feeder from the air conditioning part is discharged to an air curtain forming part arranged in plural positions of the interior of the vehicle, and sprayed to form the air curtain by an air spray nozzle part and air suction nozzle part. The sprayed air is admitted to an air-exhaust part to be recirculated to the air feeder or externally discharged. A microprocessor controls the air conditioning part and air curtain forming apparatus by receiving various control signals from a temperature/operation controlling part, a temperature/recognition sensor and a mode selector.
