  • Patent number: 9759443
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a ventilation system with a mixing chamber into which air is supplied via a first supply duct and via at least one further supply duct. Air is removed from the mixing chamber by a removal duct. The supply of air—volume control—into the mixing chamber from the supply ducts is controlled in each case via flaps with a plurality of flap leaves and/or a plurality of flap units each having a plurality of intercoupled flap leaves. According to the disclosure, the flap leaves and/or the flap units are activated individually, and an individual opening position of the respective flap leaves or of the flap units with the flap leaves is made possible.

  • Patent number: 8051903
    Abstract: A cooling and/or heating device (10, 60) for use in the cooling and/or heating of one or more units (8a to 8c) includes a conduit network containing flow and return conduits (14, 16; 68, 70), with several circuits (12a to 12c; 32 to 38, 74 to 78) connected to the flow and return conduits (14, 16; 68, 70). Valves (28, 88, 96) are located in each circuit and used to regulate or control the volumetric flow through the circuits (12a to 12c; 32 to 38; 74 to 78). A heat transfer medium or coolant circulates through the conduit network, with at least one consuming device disposed in each circuit. Sensors (38) are provided in each circuit (12a-12c; 32-38; 74-78), the sensors (38) sending signals to a control unit and forming part of a control circuit. The control unit adjusts the valves (28, 88, 96) of each circuit as a function of the signals transmitted from the sensors (38) so as to hydraulically balance the individual circuits.

  • Publication number: 20110100617
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air-conditioning apparatus which regulates at least the temperature of at least one room to a predetermined temperature desired value (TRAUM SOLL) by ventilation with heated or cooled supply air. The air-conditioning apparatus has a supply air motor (15) which feeds the supply air over a supply air channel (10) to the room (1) to be air-conditioned, a cooling and/or heating device (30, 40 33) for the cooling or warming of the supply air, and an exhaust air motor (16) which draws the exhaust air from the room (1) to be air-conditioned over an exhaust air channel (11). According to the invention, the desired value (PAB SOLL) for the regulator of the exhaust air motor (16) forms a room excess pressure established with respect to the outside pressure (PA).
