  • Methods for air handling in buildings and clean rooms
    Patent number: 6375719
    Abstract: The present invention includes a system and method for air flow improvement in central air handling systems primarily for buildings and clean rooms. It may include a return flow path, a reversing element, an axial flow device, and a supply flow path where at least a portion of a supply flow path is substantially parallel to the return flow path and one of the flow paths at least partially surrounds the other flow path and could include an annulus between the supply and return flow paths and may provide uniform flow to the axial flow device. The system could include a filter which could be inclined, converging, or a skewed flow face filter, or combinations thereof. It may also include a coil, with a variety of shapes including flat, circular, or frustoconical and could be arranged perpendicular to a primary flow direction of the one or both of the flow paths. The system might also include at least one boundary layer affecting element. A remote access and replacement filter changing element may be included.
    Type: Grant
