Device and System for Eliminating Air Pockets, Eliminating Air Stratification, Minimizing Inconsistent Temperature, and Increasing Internal Air Turns

Abstract

A device for managing air flow within a volume and / or within the device throw area or range, which includes an air transfer component, an entrance to the device, air induction ports, directional vanes, and three exit zones that incorporate lattices. The device minimizes or eliminates air pockets, air stratification, inconsistent temperature, and increases interior air turns within the volume of air to be managed.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that can improve air quality in a building by eliminating air stratification, air pockets, and inconsistent temperature. It also increases the amount of air flow within the building. The device includes a housing with a fan and a nozzle to increase the velocity of the air. It also has air induction ports and directional vanes to direct the air flow. The device can reduce the amount of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems needed to improve air quality. Overall, the device can create a more comfortable and efficient building.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional HVAC systems introduce hot, cool, or ventilation air into a facility—typically through a costly system of ductwork or via ductwork to a diffuser box.

Due to intermittent run time and duct and diffuser box air distribution systems, conventional systems tend to create air stratification and hot zones.

Area fans also do not eliminate air pockets or thermal stratification in a facility, nor are they capable of minimizing temperature fluctuations in a facility.
