Vent, Ductwork, Or Element Thereof Patents (Class D23/393)
  • Patent number: 9863657
    Abstract: The invention is a thermostatically controlled vent installed in the existing outflow ventilation ducts of a heating, ventilation, air conditioning system. When the central heating/cooling unit is operating, temperature variation is achieved by an electronic control which opens and closes air flow fins on the vent based on the settings of an individual thermostat for each room in a building that has the device installed. The individual thermostat of each vent in the system is connected to the primary building thermostat and therefore has the ability to signal the need to turn on/off the heating/cooling unit as appropriate. In addition, the invention can purify the air flow by means of an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. It is possible to remotely set the temperature settings via an internet enabled software app.
