Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 shows the filter components of the present invention in order of assembly. Exterior aluminum grill (10) is the outer most component. The fresh air flow is directed into the exterior aluminum grill (10) between the numerous vented slats (15) horizontally placed in the exterior aluminum grill (10). Just behind the exterior aluminum grill (10) is the carbon pre filter (20) which is made of polyester and carbon is used to arrest a 85% of the particles ≧5 micron and absorb gasses, such as ozone and auto exhaust, and chemicals from landscape fertilizers and pesticides. Next is the electrostatic filter cloth (30). The electrostatic filter cloth (30) is reusable and has anti-microbial properties combined with low airflow resistance and high particle capture ability. A wire mesh (40) is then place behind the electrostatic filter cloth (30) to secure the carbon pre filter (20) and the electrostatic filter cloth (30) in place. A metal aluminum frame (50) secures the metal mesh (40...

Abstract

For use in residential buildings, a device to draw in outside air and have it mix with the air inside the building to improve indoor air-quality through dilution and building pressurization. Pressurizing a building even slightly inhibits air infiltration of pollutants such as pollen, mold spores, and seasonal allergens from entering penetrations ie, poor door and window seals, chimney, bathroom, dryer and stove exhaust ducts from entering the building.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is an air intake system for use within residential buildings in conjunction with the existing air duct system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Today residential homes are equipped with heating, ventilation and air conditioning units (HVAC units) that condition the air within the home tailored to the user's needs. Air is drawn from within the house into the HVAC unit where it is then heated or cooled and through the air ducts delivered back to the house. Using and re-using the air within the home becomes a problem when entities such as pollen, mold spores and other seasonal allergens are introduced into the air. Re-using the air only re-circulates these entities. [0003] Moreover, homes that have recently been constructed typically have a “new home smell” which is essentially chemical pollutants in the air. There is a need to remove the chemical pollutants. [0004] Additionally pressurizing a building even slightly inhibits air inf...
