Problems solved by technology

Current forced air equipment cannot deliver simultaneous heating or cooling to selected areas where they serve the same structure.
Furthermore, once a forced air system shuts off after satisfying the demand, all warm or cold air in the ducts dissipates with no thermal retention and thus, the energy required to create warm or cold air is co

Embodiment Construction

[0034]FIG. 1 shows a typical forced air system employing a heating unit furnace (1) installed in the building and the air conditioning condenser (2) portion of the air conditioning system installed a the exterior of the building. Either heated or cooled air can be selected to be delivered throughout the building via a series of ducts (3) to adjustable exit vents (4) located in the individual rooms in the building. FIG. 1 illustration is a small version of a forced air system however anyone knowledgeable in the state of the art knows that in larger structures there is simply more extensive duct work and larger capacity units. Typically, one thermostat (5) controls the entire system.

[0035]In more complex forced air systems where greater control of temperature gradients is required, the ducting may be further divided into zones which can be manually or electronically adjusted, or programmed to operate automatically, utilizing duct dampers (6) driven by additional thermostats. It must b...

Abstract

A combined chiller-boiler HVAC system which integrates all operating components including the boiler, chiller, distribution pumps, condenser coils, condenser fans and controls onto one single enclosed platform built for installation exterior to the structure being served and designed to produce heated or cooling fluid sequentially or simultaneously in differing areas of a building on demand. This system utilizes both air and water cooling whereby waste heat absorbed during a water cooling cycle, can be captured and re-directed for other uses.

Description

[0001]No federally sponsored research and development association exists with this invention. As such, there are no rights associated therewith.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention is related to the methods used to supply heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings which ordinarily require two separate systems, one for heating and another for cooling.[0003]Typical applications of heat and / or cooling within commercial and / or residential building provide either heating or cooling. There are numerous building configurations or “use” applications where it is desired or required to supply heat in one area and cooling in another. Medical-professional buildings, hospitals, computer rooms and large or multi storied residential housing frequently need selective heating and cooling, Current equipment utilizes a separate heat source and a separate cooling source. The heat source is placed inside the building and the cooling source is placed outside the building. Heat...
