  • Patent number: 6616524
    Abstract: A raised floor air handling system for use in a building that is used in combination with and set into an elevated floor assembly that is mounted on a principal floor of a building so as to provide an air plenum between the two floors. An air handling assembly is mounted below an integral raised or elevated floor tile to pull air via a radial impeller fan from the air plenum and directs it vertically through the integral raised floor tile into air distribution ducting (flexible, anti-static fabric with nozzles, linear vents, or other types of perforations) and onto the equipment/location being served air. The raised floor tile is designed to match the load rating of other floor tiles to become an integral part of the elevated floor assembly. The ducting attaches to the top of the raised floor tile via removable duct collars and is supported vertically/horizontally by miscellaneous hardware attached to existing/new structures.
