  • Publication number: 20170097193
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, a radiator system, its components, as well as methods of mounting and/or installing thereof. Provided components include radiating fins arranged around a water pipe to form a core assembly. The radiating fins may include a collar and/or reflare and are spaced in the core assembly to permit airflow through the system. The core assembly may be mounted by support elements on hangers from a back plate which is wall mountable. The support elements may create space for airflow between the core assembly and a front casing and/or the back panel. Provided systems, components and methods are useful in commercial and residential baseboard radiators.

  • Patent number: 6742582
    Abstract: An apparatus for internal climate control. The apparatus comprises an inlet and outlet for air, a tangential fan that rotates about a vertically oriented axis, a fan coil assembly through which air is circulated by the tangential fan from the inlet to the outlet, a barrier to prevent recirculation of the air within the apparatus after it is circulated over the fan coil assembly, and a joint to provide fluidic communication with a source of recirculating fluid. The fan coil assembly is connected in series to the source of recirculating fluid and provides thermal communication between the recirculating fluid and the circulating air.

  • Patent number: 6725915
    Abstract: Air temperature is adjusted by employing a tangential fan having a vertically-oriented axis to direct air over a coil assembly, directing a fluid through the coil assembly, and adjusting the temperature of the fluid to cool or heat the air, wherein the coil assembly provides thermal communication between the air and the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20010018963
    Abstract: A modular climate control unit for use with circulating coolant. The unit includes two tangential fans oriented vertically and disposed one over the other. The fans direct air over an aluminum fin/copper fan coil assembly which is in thermal communication with both water coming from and returning to a central water heating or cooling system. The unit is compact and fits between two studs between a wall; air is directed into and out of it through parallel vertical louvers. The orientation of the tangential fans increases unit efficiency while reducing noise levels. The unit is easily accessed for maintenance within the wall and can direct air to an adjacent room.
