Abstract: An smart air duct/vent cover plate for air conditioning and ventilation can be implemented either as a nested three cylinder device which or as a cover frame with a flexible layer perforated with through holes. Either device provides selectivity in terms of the amount of airflow provided to an interior ambient air space. The functionality of both devices can be controlled by a wireless handheld remote control.

Arranged in the housing (2) is a displacement element (3) which has at least one cutting plane that is configured as a cutting plane of a hollow cylinder widening along a longitudinal axis (26) of the housing (2).

Abstract: A method includes providing a diffuser that has a frame with a base portion and an outer perimeter portion that protrudes outwards from the base portion. The outer perimeter portion includes a metal flange. A portion of the metal flange is attached to a ceiling stud of a ceiling. The method includes forming an opening in a gypsum board to accommodate the diffuser, and assembling the gypsum board with the ceiling stud so that a bottom surface of the frame of the diffuser is flush with the gypsum board.

Abstract: A vent that includes: a rotary head with blades arranged between a top and bottom section of the rotary head; a fixed component to mount the rotary head to a roof of a building, the fixed component having a throat that provides a flow path from inside the building to an interior of the rotary head; and a diffuser to split airflow vented from the throat and direct the vented airflow out through the rotary head.

Abstract: The invention discloses a wall-mounted air conditioner including an indoor unit. The indoor unit includes a front housing and a rear housing forming housing, the housing is provided with main air intake portions, heat exchangers are disposed inside the housing, both orthographic projection of the front housing and the rear housing are circular or approximately circular, the rear housing is located within a limiting area of the front housing, a surface of the front housing is an arc surface in which an upper portion and a lower portion contract backwards and a middle portion protrudes forwards, and a lower portion of the front housing is provided with an air outlet. The wall-mounted air conditioner according to the invention improves a structure of an existing wall-mounted air conditioner and can output air backwards, thereby ensuring fast flow and temperature adjustment of indoor air.

Abstract: The present invention is a vent cover, kits comprising the vent cover and methods of using the vent cover to direct air flow from a ventilation duct such as those found in homes and businesses. The vent cover has a base, a plurality of concentric segments retractably connected to each other and the base; and a locking element connected to the base and surrounded by the innermost concentric segment. The locking element opens and closes the vent cover. In the open position the plurality of segments are expanded outward from the base allowing air to pass through the vent cover. In the closed position the plurality of concentric segments are retracted flush with the base preventing air from being released from the vent cover.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a method of operating the same. The air conditioner includes a human body detection unit configured to rotatably operate and to detect a person within an indoor area, a position determination unit configured to determine a position of the person using data detected by the human body detection unit and to set a reference area to which a current of air will be provided according to a frequency of detection on the person, and a control unit configured to control the human body detection unit so that the human body detection unit detects the person by a reference frequency or more and to control the current of air based on the determination results by the position determination unit so that the current of air is discharged toward the reference area.

Abstract: 3-Cone Diffuser including a central cone (1), an intermediate cone (2) and outer cone or outer frame (3) placed one above the other in a spaced apart relationships having same vertical axis (14). The central cone (1) at the back is provided with bracket (8) spot welded or brazed or rivetted directly or via an intermediate plate to the central cone to hold the centre cone which is fixed on the intermediate cone with the central opening (15) having outwardly projected flanges (16) having holes (17) to accommodate the front (18) and back (19) support of the bracket. The back support is provided with springs (9) for easy removal of the bracket, thereby enabling dismantling the central cone easily.

Abstract: An air vent, in particular for a vehicle, includes an air outflow channel and several operating elements which regulate the outflow direction and the volume flow of an airflow and which are designed as sliding elements, a first sliding element (14) moving horizontal vanes (16), a second sliding element (18) moving vertical vanes (20), and a third sliding element (22) moving a shutoff flap (24).

Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a vent which comprises a body member and an adjustment member. The body member comprises a vent passageway that extends from an inward side to an outward side of the body member. The body member also comprises a collar having a collar passageway that extends from an inward side to an outward side of the collar. The collar passageway is in fluid communication with the vent passageway. The adjustment member comprises a head disposed to adjustably restrict a flow of air through the vent passageway and an inwardly projecting stem having one or more stem portions. The one or more stem portions comprise one or more contact portions which engage an interior surface of the collar and which adjustably couple the adjustment member to the body member. The one or more stem portions, alone or in combination with the interior surface of the collar, define one or more collar openings that extend through the collar passageway.

Abstract: An air duct diffuser is shown for attachment to a ceiling grid. The diffuser includes a frame which mounts to the ceiling grid and a louvre which mounts to the frame for directing diffused air within an associated air space. A pre-formed, composite housing of insulating material mounts to the frame and has punch-out duct openings of varying sizes provided therein.

Abstract: An airhouse for supplying conditioned air to the interior area of an enclosed building. The airhouse incorporates one or more blowers having variable speed controllers enabling them to be operated at variable volumetric flow rates. The airhouse housing includes variable area dampers for controlling the inlet of outside or building return air. A dedicated controller is provided for adjusting the inlet areas of the two inlet pathways to provide a constant flow velocity through a direct fire burner through a range of blower volumetric output settings. In addition the units may include variable area diffuser units which tend to maintain constant discharge velocity pressure at various blower volumetric flow rate settings. In addition various control and operating strategies are provided for the individual airhouse units and a distributed array of such units in a large building structure controlled by a central computer.

Abstract: An air supply and exhaust grill which requires no tools or fixtures for assembly of the components thereof and which provides for convenient manual adjustment of air flow therethrough. The device is preferably circular about a longitudinal axis to facilitate connection to a round air conduit and to provide a distinctive finished appearance, and includes an outer an an inner housing each having a main tubular portion and a radially extending flange. The inner tubular member is frictionally adjustable axially within the outer housing so as to control the air gap between the two flanges. Mating notches and stop are also provided between inner and outer housings which are selectively engagable by rotation of the inner housing.
