  • Patent number: 10852015
    Abstract: A controlled dilution fluid flow pattern is described. In an embodiment, a fluid supply device is configured for controlling a pattern of a flow of a fluid within a critical room. The critical room comprises a critical area subject to contamination. A first fluid supply nozzle is configured to provide a first fluid supply jet to provide a first flow of the fluid towards a substantial center of the critical area. A second fluid nozzle is configured to provide a second fluid supply jet to provide a second flow of the fluid towards a perimeter of the room. A momentum of the first fluid supply jet and a momentum of the second fluid supply jet are adjusted so that the substantial center of the critical area is flushed by the first flow and penetration of the second flow into the substantial center of the critical area is generally prevented. In other embodiments, a HVAC system and method are discussed along with the features of the device.

  • Patent number: 9222683
    Abstract: A fresh airflow is conducted from a supply air chamber through nozzles into a ring-shaped mixing chamber. A circulated airflow is conducted from a room space into a cylindrical suction chamber inside a ring-shaped heat exchanger. From the suction chamber the circulated airflow travels through the heat exchanger into the mixing chamber. The nozzles are located in the upper part of the mixing chamber at a distance from each other on the periphery of at least one circle, whereby the mid-point of the circle is located on the vertical central axis of the supply air terminal device. The horizontal component of the direction vector of the fresh airflow discharging from each nozzle forms an angle ?, which is in a range of 45-135 degrees, with the radius of said at least one circle, and the direction vector is directed downward, in relation to the horizontal plane at an angle ?, which is in a range of 15-75 degrees, whereby a rotating airflow directed downward is formed in the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20080236785
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device (100) for treatment of indoor air. The device (100) comprises a supply air chamber (11) and from this nozzles (12a1, 12a2 . . . ) or a nozzle gap (12) to make a flow of fresh supply air flow out of the supply air chamber, which flow (J1) will induce a circulated airflow to flow out of the room (H) through a heat exchanger (10). The circulated airflow (J2) joins the supply airflow (J1), whereby the combined airflow (J1+J2) is made to flow out of the device. In the device (100) its heat exchanger (10a1, 10a2; 10) is used to either cool or heat the circulated airflow (J2). The device (100) for treatment of indoor air may also be a so-called passive beam, which can be fitted close to the ceiling of the room space (H), whereby the heated air is cooled by the heat exchanger (10) of the passive beam (100) as it ascends in the room space approaching the heat exchanger (10), from which upon being cooled it will descend back into the occupied zone of the room space (H).
