  • Patent number: 7013950
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ventilation device for ventilation room by room and/or zone by zone and comprises: a) a device casing (12), which is provided in or adjacent an outer wall of a building or the like and which connects room air to outside air, b) a heat-exchange (22) of counter flow type, provided in the casing (12) and transferring heat from the outgoing and in-going airflows, respectively, c) two fans (18,20) arranged in said casing (12), of which one is connected to the ingoing air duct (14) of the heat-exchanger (22) and the other to the outgoing air duct (16) of the heat-exchanger (22), d) at least one sensor (30) for determination of the airflow's relative deviation in velocity from a neutral value of the airflows passing through each respective duct (14, 16), and e) a control means (32), which, depending on the values given by the sensor (30), is arranged to regulate the rotation speed of the fans (18, 20), for the purpose of substantially balancing the airflow, so that it is substantially equa

  • Patent number: 6676506
    Abstract: Arrangement for protecting floors above the crawl space and buildings on foundations of the crawl-space type from damp and microbial growth, where the crawl space (2) is delimited by the floor (4) above the crawl space of the building, bearing foundation walls (1) with vents (9) for outdoor air and the foundation ground (3). The arrangement comprises an essentially windtight and vapourtight climate screen (12) which is arranged in such a manner that it divides the crawl space (2) into at least one upper (10) and at least one lower (11) climate zone and forms a tight partition between the climate zones. The climate screen (12) is located at such at height in the crawl space (2) that the outdoor air vents (9) in the foundation walls (1) communicate with only the lower climate zone (11). The upper climate zone (10) is provided with at least one supply air opening (18) which is connected to a room above in the building, and an exhaust air opening (21; 22) which is connected to a discharge duct (23; 24).
