    Abstract: The present invention provides a foldably packed temperature adjustment fan, which comprises a water tank assembly, having a water storage cavity; and a shell assembly, mounted on a top of the water tank assembly, wherein the shell assembly comprises a plurality of side plate assemblies for surrounding and forming an airflow cavity and a top plate assembly, at least a part of the side plate assemblies are respectively utilized as a whole body and are detachably mounted on an edge of the top of the water tank assembly, and at least a part of the side plate assemblies can be completely accommodated in the water storage cavity after being detached. The present invention further provides a folding method of the foldably packed temperature adjustment fan. When the temperature adjustment fan of the present invention is used, its appearance is the same as that of a normal unit; during packing, a rear plate assembly, a left side plate assembly and a right side plate assembly can be completely accommodated in the water tank assembly, a front panel assembly does not need to be detached, and as long as the front panel assembly is turned over, fast folding is completed; and the package size is small, associated components are less, and logistics transportation is convenient.

    Abstract: To provide a system that collects data from each sensor (airflow, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, illuminance, and air pollution) that measures an environmental factor and can evaluate an environment in a factory in a complex manner. Environmental sensors that measure environmental elements including at least airflow from among the airflow, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, illuminance, and a degree of air pollution, which are the environmental elements in a factory where a machining operation is performed, a display unit that visualizes and displays measurement results of a plurality of environmental elements measured by the environmental sensors, an evaluation and determination unit that evaluates and determines at least one of machine accuracy, work environment, and image accuracy based on the measurement results of the plurality of environmental elements, and a control unit that controls in-factory equipment so that an environment in the factory becomes a preset environment based on results of evaluation and determination by the evaluation and determination unit are included.

    Abstract: An airflow sterilizing unit configured to airflow in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is disclosed. The airflow sterilizing unit includes a portion of a duct at least partially lined with an ultraviolet (UV) reflective material, a plurality of hollow structures positioned within the portion of the duct, each comprising an external UV reflective surface, and at least one array of UV light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on a surface of at least one of the plurality of hollow structures. The sterilizing unit is configured to replace a section of an existing duct in the HVAC system such that air within the HVAC system passes through the sterilizing unit before exiting from one or more vent.

    Abstract: An HVAC actuator configured to actuate an HVAC component may include a rotatable output shaft having a range of rotation between a first end position and a second end position, a drive mechanism configured to selectively drive the output shaft, and a housing for housing the drive mechanism. The HVAC actuator may include a position indicator viewable from a front side of the housing that moves as the output shaft is rotated such that the position indicator indicates a current position of the output shaft. The position indicator may include an indicator wheel that is directly coupled to the output shaft of the HVAC actuator and may rotate with the output shaft. The indicator wheel may have one or more markings that move with the indicator wheel. The one or more markings may include a line extending in a radial direction from a rotation axis of the indicator wheel.
