Abstract:
A method of providing a circulating air flow in a treatment space for a working area, whereby inlet air (A) is blown into the treatment space (1) to form a circulating air flow (A') in the treatment space, which flow provides an air curtain (A'') at an access opening (5) to the treatment space. In order to eliminate the disturbing influence of a workpiece (4) within the working area (3) on the circulating flow and to improve the working conditions, at least a part (B) of the circulating air flow (A') is deflected from the working area in such a way that the working area remains essentially within the circulating air flow. An arrangement for carrying out the method comprises a duct (7) formed in the treatment space (1) and passing the working area (3) for at least a part (B) of the circulating air flow.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with an air conditioning unit, comprising at least one fan (4) fitted within a casing structure, means for conveying untreated outdoor and indoor air into the casing structure, and distributor means (9) for distributing air into the interior space of the building to be air conditioned. To improve the overall economy of the air conditioning unit, the arrangement is constructed as a wall-mounted unit and the distributor means (9, 19) for distributing air into the interior space are integrated in the same unit with the other components of the arrangement.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fixing frame (1) for mounting ventilation air inlet or outlet dampers to a planar structure such as a ceiling or wall panel, said fixing frame having a body of essentially cylindrical shape and being equipped at its front rim with a collar flange (3) aligned essentially orthogonal to the center axis of the cylindrical body part (2), whereby said panel is machined to have a hole with a diameter and shape essentially equal to that of said fixing frame body part, into which hole the fixing frame is inserted so that its collar flange (3) remains flush with the front surface of said panel, and said fixing frame has a threaded portion (4) projecting radially inward from the inner surface of its cylindrical body part (2) so as to permit a damper with a compatible outer threaded portion to be mounted into said fixing frame. The invention is implemented so that the cylindrical internal surface of the fixing frame (1) has at least two essentially oppositely located grooved sites (5) for alternative mounting of a wire-clip-type damper body into the fixing frame (1).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flow rate control element for ducts, said control element operating based on the iris-diaphragm principle and including an annular housing comprised of a base part (3) with a cover part (4) made to fit thereon, and said housing having therein adapted essentially curved leaves (7), which are pivotally connected at their one ends to said housing, and further including a control ring having radial slots made thereto in which slots the other ends of the leaves are adapted to move, whereby said leaves are made steplessly rotatable between their closed and open positions by turning the control ring. The invention is implemented by forming for each leaf (7) to be installed in one part of the housing, advantageously the base part (3), a nonpenetrating indent or outdent, respectively, whereby to that side of the leaf to be installed facing said indented or outdented side is formed an essentially complementarily shaped outdent or indent, whereby the pivotal cooperation of the outdent/indent pair permits unobstructed rotation of the leaf (7) about its pivot point.
Abstract:
Apparatus for controlling the supply voltage (Vs) of an asynchronous motor, said apparatus comprising, for stepless control of the supply voltage, at least one solid-state switch (2) controlling the supply voltage and a control unit controlling the solid-state switch. The apparatus contains at least one full-wave rectifier for full-wave rectification of a phase voltage (V1). Moreover, the solid-state switch (2) is fully gate-controlled, and the control unit controls the solid-state switch by pulse width modulation. For the dead times of the supply voltage (V1), the apparatus contains at least one other full-wave rectifier and at least one other fully gate-controlled solid-state switch (3) provided with a control unit and controlled by pulse width modulation so that it conducts in the dead times of the supply voltage.
Abstract:
A method for controlling the operation of an air-conditioning apparatus comprising devices (1, 2, 3) for supplying outdoor air (A) into a room (4), for removing indoor air (B) from the room, and for returning removed indoor air as return air (C) into the room; and devices (9, 16, 20) for adjusting the amounts of outdoor air, removed air, and return air. The adjusting devices are adjustable for controlling the mixing ratios between the air amounts according to desired air conditions to be created in the room. To achieve a greater controllability of the apparatus and to improve the accuracy of the mixing ratios, the outdoor air (A) and the return air (C) are passed into the room alternately, and the durations of the open periods of the adjusting devices are adjusted so that a desired mixing ratio is achieved between the amounts of outdoor and return air in the room. An air-conditioning apparatus developed for applying the method comprises operating means (22) arranged to open the adjusting devices (9, 20) of an outdoor air duct (5) and a return air duct (19) alternately for the duration of the open periods.
Abstract:
Mixing section for outdoor air and return air in an air-conditioning apparatus, the mixing section (21) being positioned between a supply duct (1) supplying outdoor air into a room (4) and a return duct (3) removing exhaust air from the room for mixing outdoor air (A) and return air (C). The supply and return ducts comprise adjusting devices (9, 20) for adjusting the air flows. To control the air flows at different mixing ratios and to make the mixing more efficient, guides (22, 25) are provided after the adjusting devices of both the supply device (1) and the return device (3) in a mixing space so as to divide the air flows passing through the adjusting devices into a plurality of separate interlapping air jets (A', C') crossing each other.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and arrangement for air-conditioning and heating room space, air being sucked from room space (1) and conducted through heating and cooling radiators (6, 7) to an intake air blower (8), by which the air is blown back into the room space (1). To eliminate the uneconomic load peaks of the district heating network, at least part of the air sucked from the room (1) is first conducted, in series, through an air outlet radiator (12') and an air inlet radiator (12'') of the heat recovery means and then to the heating and cooling radiators (6, 7).
Abstract:
A ventilation system for a multi-storey building (1), which system comprises a ventilation apparatus (4) mounted on a roof and provided with fans (5) for generating an inlet air flow (B) and a distributing channel for supplying the inlet air flow to various intermediate levels (2) of the building. To avoid a separate distributing channel and to spare building space, a service shaft (3) of the building serves as an inlet air flow channel, which shaft forms a flow path for the inlet air flow directed from the fans (5) downwards, whereby the service shaft has deflecting means (11) for passing a part (D) of the air flow to each intermediate level of the building.
