AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013] The present invention provides a method and apparatus for delivering heated or conditioned air to a remote room in a building structure. The inventive apparatus includes an integrated blower, motorized damper, and thermostat apparatus comprising an area-specific booster unit incorporated into selected locations of the ventilation ductwork of the building, which facilitates rapid delivery of heated or conditioned air to remote rooms in structures having a central source of forced air.

Problems solved by technology

Residents of multi-story dwellings routinely have a problem with the proper distribution of heated and cooled air, especially to rooms on upper stories.
In consequence, the rooms in the upper floors often fail to get heated or cooled air as needed.
Furthermore, sun location and other ambient differences in the several rooms served by the system can give rise to temperature variations that cannot be appropriately addressed through the use of a single thermostat.

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein like reference numerals refer to like components in the various views, there is illustrated therein a new and improved apparatus for delivering heated or conditioned air to a remote room. The inventive apparatus, generally denominated 10 herein, comprises a section of ductwork 12, typically ten or twelve inches in diameter, having a blower impeller 14 and blower motor 16 (collectively a booster fan 17, preferably 120V) disposed at one end 12a thereof, and a damper 18 driven by a damper motor 20 (preferably 24V) disposed at the other end 12b. Collectively, the apparatus comprises an area-specific air booster unit. The actual physical configuration and proximity to the duct section ends is not critical to system functioning. In fact, although it is preferable that the booster fan be more proximate the central air supply (with respect to air flow) than the damper, even that positioning is not imperative.

[0026] Both the damper motor and the bl...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 513,905, filed 23 Oct. 2003.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable. TECHNICAL FIELD [0004] The present invention relates generally to residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus for delivering heated and / or conditioned air to a remote room in a building structure. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART [0005] Residents of multi-story dwellings routinely have a problem with the proper distribution of heated and cooled air, especially to rooms on upper stories. Generally, forced air systems move heated or cooled air from a furnace or air conditioning unit through a system of ductwork to rooms in various parts of ...
