Floor Furnace Type Patents (Class 392/351)
  • Publication number: 20120052789
    Abstract: A personal distribution terminal is designed to provide a self-contained free standing or stand-alone enclosure for easy placement wherever office personnel require convenient access to building services. The placement of this enclosure may be in the vicinity of a standard desk or other workstations or where people congregate. The occupant of the nearby workstation has control over personal air flow for personal comfort. The enclosure is so constructed to also provide space control by displacement ventilation for the surrounding area to provide greater indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption. Incorporated into the enclosure are other services in the modem office, such as electric, both constant or interruptible, communication terminals and internet connections. The use of this terminal eliminates floor and wall grilles for better esthetics, and easier, more economical installation and housekeeping.
