Abstract:
The present invention entails a rooftop exhaust system for a building. The exhaust system includes a motor that is configured to directly drive a fan. The fan during the course of operation generates a negative pressure on the upstream side of the fan. This negative pressure is utilized to induce outside cooling air into a shroud that partially encloses the motor. Cooling air passing through the shroud contacts the motor and heat associated with the motor is transferred to the cooling air after which the cooling air exits the shroud.

The invention relates to a geothermal insulation system (10) for the insulation of an external surface (16) of a building (12), characterised by comprising: - internal insulation panels (24), - first internal spacers (22) attaching the internal insulation panels (24) onto the external surface (16) of a wall (14) of the building (12) in the mounted state such that an internal air chamber (20) is left between the internal insulation panels (24) and the external surface (16) of the wall (14), - external insulation panels (34), - second spacers (32) attaching the external insulation panels (34) onto an external side of the internal insulation panels (24) in the mounted state such that an external air chamber (30) is left between the external insulation panels (34) and the external side of the internal insulation panels (24) and an upper region of the external air chamber (30) is in air communication with an upper region of the internal air chamber (20), - a soil-air heat exchanger (44) recessed into the soil, - a first air duct (46) connecting the soil-air heat exchanger (44) with the internal air chamber (20), - a second air duct (48) connecting the soil-air heat exchanger (44) with the external air chamber (30). The invention further relates to a method for the insulation of an external surface (16) of a building (12) with the use of geothermal energy.

Abstract:
An external wall end hole member and a vent cap having a high wind and rain entry preventing capability capable of allowing an outside air side to communicate with an inside air side through an outside air side air vent hole on the outside air side and an inside air side vent hole on the inside air side, the external wall end hole member comprising a first projected member projected from one side of an inner peripheral wall of the external wall end hole member, a second projected member projected from the opposite side of the first projected member, and a third projected member projected in approximately the same direction as the first projected member, characterized in that the first, second, and third projected members are provided so that the edge part of at least the second projected member is set on the inside air side of the edge part of the first projected member and that the edge part of the third projected member is set on the inside air side of the edge part of at least the second projected member, and the second projected member is formed so that it separates the outside air side vent port into at least two vent ports.
Abstract:
A branch take-off and silencer apparatus for an air distribution system. The apparatus couples an input duct (10) to one or more branch ducts (14) and to an output duct (12). Inner and outer sections (22, 20) define a shell region (24). The shell region (24) is closed at its downstream end (26) and is adapted at its upstream end to receive air from the input duct (10). Porous acoustical material (32, 34, 35) is positioned within the shell region (24) to establish one or more channels in that region which extend from the upstream end to points (X) adjacent to one or more of the branch ducts (14). At these points (X), the channels are coupled to one or more of the branch ducts (14). The downstream end of the inner section (22) is coupled to the output duct (12).
Abstract:
A housing is constructed and arranged to be mounted to a curtain. The housing can include an aperture. Upon installation of the housing to the curtain, a portion of the curtain is removed in the region of the aperture. A flexible air duct can be presented through the aperture.
Abstract:
A rotor windage noise damping system for an induction motor cooling vent A duct having a duct airflow path has a proximal end opening in communication with the cooling vent and the distal end opening is for communication with ambient air. The duct includes a plurality of baffles. The baffles are oriented in a generally parallel mutually spaced symmetrical or asymmetrical array relative to each other and the duct airflow path. Dimensions for baffle array symmetry or asymmetry, parallel spacing, baffle thickness and baffle inset from one of the duct openings are chosen to restrict distance between adjacent baffles to less than a wavelength of windage noise at selected propagation frequencies, yet provide for sufficient cooling airflow through the duct. The duct may be tuned to dampen selected propagation frequencies by changing the baffle array.
