Benefits of technology
The present invention relates to a heating and cooling ventilation system for a building enclosure. The system includes an enclosure with multiple air outlet openings and a plurality of airflow damper plates that can adjust the amount of airflow passing through each outlet. The system also includes a hydronic heat exchanger cartridge and a blower for moving air across the heat exchanger. The invention offers an improved thermal comfort and energy efficiency in building ventilation.
Problems solved by technology
Conventional systems have been around for years and typically use large bulky ducting to deliver conditioned air to a space at relatively low velocity and pressure.
These systems are popular because they are generally the lowest cost, but are also considered to be the least comfortable of the options available, primarily because they usually have only a single thermostat to control the temperature of an entire home or other structure.
This sacrifices comfort and carries an energy penalty as well.

Embodiment Construction
[0026]Example embodiments that incorporate one or more aspects of the present invention are described and illustrated in the drawings. These illustrated examples are not intended to be a limitation on the present invention. For example, one or more aspects of the present invention can be utilized in other embodiments and even other types of devices. Moreover, certain terminology is used herein for convenience only and is not to be taken as a limitation on the present invention. Still further, in the drawings, the same reference numerals are employed for designating the same elements.
[0027]Turning to the shown example of FIG. 1, a modular heating and cooling ventilation system 10 is shown together with associated airflow ducting structure 12. While this system is described as a “mid-velocity” ventilation system, this is not intended to provide a limitation upon the appended claims. The ventilation system 10 is configured to be easily installed and supported by mounting struts 13 or o...

A heating and cooling ventilation system includes an enclosure including a plurality of walls and a nose plate that are interconnected to enclose an interior volume of the enclosure. An air inlet opening, and a plurality of air outlet openings extending through the nose plate, are in fluid communication with the interior volume. At least one or more heat exchangers and a blower are disposed within the interior volume. At least one airflow damper plate is associated with one of the plurality of air outlet openings and is adjustable relative to said one air outlet opening to thereby adjust an amount of airflow passing through said one air outlet opening. In various examples, the heat exchanger(s) are hydronic and / or utilize other heat transfer fluids in a variety of configurations, and at least one airflow damper plate is adjustable from an exterior of the enclosure, and / or the nose plate is interchangeable.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to an air ventilation system, and more particularly, to an air ventilation system that utilizes at least one or more heat exchangers to heat and / or cool air.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The use of heat exchangers in residences and other buildings is well known. Typically, heat exchangers employed in houses and other buildings incorporate a blower, or other means, which causes air to flow through the heat exchanger at sufficient flow and pressure. Conventional systems include heat pump, or a bifurcated heater and air-conditioner. A packaged small-duct, high-velocity air conditioning is also known.[0004]The heating and cooling ventilation system described herein is a mid-velocity system (e.g., about 0.4-0.9 inches water column) that uses one or more heat exchangers for heating and cooling of the air stream to provide comfort and performance from a single ...
