Benefits of technology

"The invention is a system and method for using a fan more efficiently. It includes a flow diverter that can direct air in multiple directions, making it easier to control the flow of air. The diverter can be connected to different types of fans and can be used on the intake or exhaust of the fans. The system also includes hoses that can be attached to the diverter to direct the air to different locations. Additionally, an adapter allows the diverter to connect to a wider variety of fans. Overall, the invention improves the productivity and efficiency of air movers."

Problems solved by technology

Buildings suffer water damage, from floods, sprinkler systems, storms, and other acts of nature.
They are often used inefficiently, as in a situation where a damp area is small such that the fan produces much more air flow than is needed to dry the area in a timely manner.
In this case, any excess capacity of the fan may be wasted.
In cases where there are many damp areas in different locations, a user may have too few fans to finish the job in a timely manner.
A user may have to acquire more fans, thereby increasing the cost of remediation.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] In accordance with the several principles of the present invention, a flow diverter embodiment is generally indicated at reference numeral 100 of FIG. 1 and the other various figures of the drawings. The flow diverter 100 is generally hemispherical in shape and includes a rounded cap 110 and a circular base 120. While the preferred embodiment of most of the components of the described system are preferably constructed of plastic, those components may be made of other suitable materials known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0030] A perimeter of the base 120 varies in diameter in a stepwise fashion such that it may operably connect to a variety of air movers having flow outlets or inlets of differing diameters. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the base 120 has a three-tiered circular perimeter. The radii of the tiers from smallest to largest are twelve inches, fourteen inches, and sixteen inches, respectively, in this embodiment. Other embodiments may include a cone-s...
