Definitions

  • the present invention relates to air distribution terminals and air treatment systems incorporating such terminals.
  • Air treatment systems are known in which air is heated centrally and is distributed through ducts to points of utilisation distributed around the volume to be heated, typically in separate rooms of a building or in different parts of rooms of a building.
  • the delivery of heated air into the space to be heated can cause an unacceptable amount of turbulence and of noise in the heated space and it is known therefore to reduce these effects by causing the high velocity air to induce a secondary flow of air, air being drawn from the space to be heated and delivered back into the space mixed with the high velocity heated air, or primary air as it might be called from the heating source.
  • An example of such a system is described in GB-A 1316887.
  • a ball valve is mounted in the air duct adjacent the venturi restriction and is movable axially in the duct to approach and recede from the restriction under the control of an actuator linked to a thermostat.
  • the ball is also spring loaded and is displacable in the axial direction to a limited extent by pressure in the duct.
  • control valve of the butterfly type Another uses a control valve having a ported cytinder at the outlet of the primary air conduit and a piston axially movable to open and close the ports.
  • US-A 3 669 349 is an example of many disclosures of air distribution terminals having inlets and/or outlets which are variable between closed and open positions by relative movement of overlying perforate plates so that the perforations in the one plate overly those in the other to a greater or lesser extent.
  • the control is too coarse for the purposes of the present applicant as the whole range from closed to open is covered by movement of one plate over a distance corresponding to the dimension of a simple perforation.
  • the perforations or other apertures employed are too large for present purposes.
  • GB-A 2 069 127 (Simmons) a system for treating environmental air is described in which treated air is conveyed between small diameter ducts to air distribution terminals where it is released into a buffer zone of enlarged diameter and passes from the buffer zone through a flow restricting perforated plate and is then mixed with air drawn into the distribution terminal by an air blower which expells the mixed air from the terminal.
  • Such a system is quiet and efficient in use.
  • the effective open cross-sectional area of the perforate plate for each terminal needs to be selected with care in order that the system may be properly balanced.
  • Daugherty teaches might solve this problem in that Daugherty professes to provide a continuous control of the effective cross-sectional area of the exit from the duct for treated air into the distribution terminal.
  • Daugherty's control mechanism will not provide a satisfactory variable control over the flow of treated air into the terminal as the ball and restriction mechanism taught by Daugherty acts to provide too sharp a cut off of air flow in response to linear movement of the ball.
  • GB-A 1 226 089 discloses a control valve for regulating the flow of air from a high pressure side receiving supplies of hot and cold air to a low pressure side of the valve.
  • a piston is displaced by pressure in the air supply to partially obscure outlet holes in a cylinder in which the piston is mounted, so as to provide a constant volume output despite variations in inlet pressure.
  • Such a valve would not be suitable for controlling air flow in an air distribution terminal to overcome the problems discussed above. It lacks any means for controlling the output of treated air to provide a variable output.
  • the systems described above are applicable not only to the distribution of heated air but also primary air treated in other ways, e.g. by cooling.
  • the present invention provides an air distribution terminal comprising a housing having at least one inlet for drawing in ambient air, an inlet for treated air, at least one terminal outlet for a mixture of said treated air and ambient air, and a control valve regulating the flow through said inlet for treated air, which control valve comprises means defining a flow path for air from the inlet for treated air to the interior of the housing, and a variable flow restrictor in said flow path characterised in that the flow restrictor comprises a wall member dividing an upstream part of said flow path from a downstream part of said flow path, and having flow passages therethrough, means acting as a shutter for at least substantially closing a proportion of the flow passages of said wall member against air flow therethrough, mechanical means for producing relative movement between said wall member and said closing means to vary the area of said wall member exposed for air flow therethrough, the cross-sectional area of each of the flow passages through said wall member being not greater than about 0.7 cm2.
  • control valve will be likely to experience inlet pressures from 62 Pa (0.25 inches water gauge) upwards, e.g. 1495 Pa (6 inches water gauge).
  • the apertures are in the range of 9.5 mm to 1.6 mm diameter. More preferably therefore the diameter of such circular perforations in the wall member is in the range of 0.44 to 0.51 cm.
  • the apertures preferably have a largest dimension in this range or an area equivalent to a circle with a diameter in that range.
  • the perforations in the wall member need not be circular. More generally therefore the flow passages through the wall member each have a cross sectional area not exceeding 0.7 sq.cm., e.g. from 0.02 to 0.7 sq.cm., more preferably not exceeding 0.2 sq.cm., e.g. from 0.15 to 0.2 sq.cm. For use in systems where the primary air static pressure is relatively low, flow passages at the lower ends of these ranges may be desired.
  • the form of the wall member and the manner in which it interacts with the means for closing a portion of the wall member against fluid flow may be of various kinds.
  • the valve is as described above, and the wall member is a foraminous or perforate tube telescopically movable to extend from the downstream end of the said flow path defining means by a greater or lesser extent, the bore of said tube having a closure or flow restriction therein e.g. at the end of the tube.
  • the tube is uniformally foraminous or perforate along its length, so that the effective cross sectional area open for air flow from the valve into the interior of the housing is directly proportional to the length of the foraminous or perforate tube extending.
  • the valve further comprises actuator means adapted to move the tube telescopically in the outlet by a degree dependent on a signal provided to the actuator means.
  • the means for generating a signal to cause the actuator to move the tube telescopically which is preferably provided may for instance be a manual control such as a manually operable switch or may be some means for monitoring some ambient condition and moving the tube in response to variations in that condition, for instance a thermostat.
  • valve may be generally as described above and the wall member may have a first portion having said flow passages and a second portion without said flow passages, and the closure may be a shutter having one or more apertures therein and the wall member and the shutter may be mounted to be adjacent and rotatable with respect to one another so as to vary the amount of said first and second portions of the wall member aligned with the aperture in the shutter.
  • the wall member and shutter are interfitting generally cylindrical members. Alternatively, they might for instance be overlying circular members.
  • the wall member is disposed over the shutter.
  • the shutter may lie over the wall member.
  • the valve further comprises actuator means adapted to rotate the wall member and shutter with respect to one another.
  • the valve further comprises means for generating a signal to cause said actuator to rotate said wall member and actuator with respect to one another.
  • the signal generating means may be a thermostat or a manually operable switch or other control.
  • the terminal includes an air blower for expelling air from the housing through the outlet or outlets.
  • the housing has a cross-sectional area substantially in excess of the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the valve.
  • the invention further provides an air treatment system comprising a plurality of terminals as described above, air treatment apparatus including means for drawing in and treating air, and means for delivering treated air from said air treatment apparatus to the flow path of the flow control valve of each said terminal.
  • the means for treating air may suitably be means for heating or cooling or humidifying the air or a mixture of two or more of these functions.
  • the means for delivering treated air is a system of conduits of a cross-sectional area substantially less than the cross-sectional area of the housing of each terminal, preferably similar to the cross-sectional area of said flow path of the valve.
  • the system of conduits include flexible conduit portions connecting to the terminals.
  • an air treatment system comprises an air blower such as a centrifugal fan 2 for drawing air to be treated from outside a wall 1 demarcating the space within which the air is to be treated.
  • Wall 1 is therefore typically an exterior wall of a building.
  • Air is directed by the blower 2 through an air treatment means 3 such as an air heater or an air cooler. From the air treatment means 3 the air is directed through a duct 4 to a primary air duct 14 serving air distribution terminals. Each terminal is connected to the respective primary air duct 4 by a flexible duct 15.
  • Each terminal comprises a housing 12 defining an air inlet 8 for drawing air from a room or other space in which the air is to be treated, an air blower 11 in the form of an axial fan in this instance within the housing 12 for drawing air into the inlet 8 and an outlet duct 13 having an outlet into the space in which the air is to be treated.
  • an inlet for treated air connected to the flexible duct 15.
  • the inlet for treated air is provided at one end of a conduit 16 having an opposite open outlet end in which is received a perforate tube 5 closed at its downstream end by an end plate 18.
  • the perforate tube 5 is provided uniformly along its length with perforations 19 and therefore provides a wall member through which air passing through the conduit 16 may escape into the housing 12 upstream of the inlet 8.
  • rod 21 is articulated to an actuator arm 7 which is in turn connected at one end to a rotary actuator 6a.
  • a mixing zone 10 Downstream of the inlet 8 but upstream of the fan 11 is a mixing zone 10 demarcated by a perforate plate 9 at its upstream end.
  • Plate 9 is particularly of use in terminals having a cross section which is very wide compared to its height and serves to ensure good mixing of air entering the mixing zone 10.
  • the fan 11 draws air from the space or room in which the air is to be treated through inlet 8 and into the housing 12.
  • treated e.g. heated
  • air passes at a relatively high velocity through the ducts 4, 14 and 15 and is released through the perforate tube 5 at a rate depending upon the amount of the tube 5 extending from the conduit 16.
  • This treated air mixes with the air drawn in through inlet 8 in the mixing zone 10 and is expelled back into the space through outlet duct 13.
  • the extent to which the foraminous or perforate tube 5 extends from the outlet end of conduit 16 of the treated air duct depends on the setting of the actuator 6. This may be linked to one of a variety of means for controlling the setting of the position of the tube 5.
  • the actuator 6 may be linked to a manually operated control used to fix the position of the tube 5 so that the whole system, incorporating a number of terminal units 12, is in balance and provides the correct degree of heating or cooling from each terminal.
  • the actuator 6 may be linked to a thermostat or other means for monitoring some condition of the air in the space to be treated to provide some degree of movement of the tube 5 to increase or decrease the amount of treated air allowed into the housing 12 in response to conditions in the space or room.
  • the flow of air through the housing 12 as a whole will be substantially constant but depending on the position of the foraminous tube 5, more or less of this air will be constituted by air drawn from the treated air ducts 4, 14 and 15.
  • the position of the foraminous tube 5 may be completely under the control of a thermostat acting through actuator 6 or may be entirely dictated by a manual control acting through actuator 6, it is possible to mix these functions so that a manual control dictates a base position for the tube 5 which is modified by a thermostat or such that the position of the tube 5 is controlled by a thermostat within a range dictated by a manual control.
  • the perforated tube 5 allows control over the air flow from the duct 14 from full air flow to zero air flow and the rate of flow of air from the duct 14 into the housing 12 is linearly proportional to the displacement of the tube 5 from the end of the conduit 16.
  • the maximum rate of flow from the tube 5 into the housing 12 is easily selected by an appropriate choice of the specific free area provided by the perforations in the tube 5. All this provides a very accurate control over the flow of the high velocity air into the housing 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a distribution terminal according to the invention incorporating a further type of valve.
  • a distribution terminal 30 has an inlet for primary air 31 leading through a control valve 32 to the interior of the distribution terminal.
  • Inlets 33 for air drawn from the room containing the terminal are provided on a front face of the terminal on either side of an outlet for air drawn into the terminal from the room mixed with air from the primary air inlet 31.
  • This secondary air outlet may be formed by a grill 34 behind which is positioned a centrifugal blower 35 of a crossflow or tangential type driven by a motor 36.
  • the valve comprises an outer cylindrical sheet metal wall member 37 having a hemi-cylindrical surface portion 38 provided with a multitude of small circular perforations. Portion 38 is disposed between two ciruclar end bands 39 which are not perforated. Within the cylindrical wall member 37 is received a generally cylindrical shutter 40 having a cut away portion forming an aperture 41 generally corresponding in size to the portion 38 containing the perforations in the cylindrical wall members 37. Gaskets (not shown) form a seal between the wall member and the cylindrical member at each end.
  • Radially directed arms 42 meet in the centre of each end face of the cylindrical member 40 at a bushing 43 in which is received a drive shaft 44 mounted to an end cap 45 which on its outer surface bears an electric motor 46 connected to the rod 44 for rotation thereof.
  • Rotation of the rod 44 causes rotation of the cylindrical shutter 40 within the cylinder 37 causing the aperture 41 to coincide to a greater or lesser extent with the perforate portion 38 of the member 37.
  • Electric motor 46 is connected to a thermostatic control which adjusts the position of the cylindrical shutter 40 in response to room temperature. In a modification of what is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, motor 46 may be replaced by a manually operable control to allow presetting of the position of the shutter 40 according to the expected heat demands for the particular terminal.
  • the static pressure in the primary air distribution ducts leading to the inlet 31 to the terminal produces a volume rate of flow through the apertures in the member 37 proportional to the exposed area of the portion 38 containing the perforations.
  • the pressure of the high velocity primary air is absorbed in passing the perforate barrier. The unit therefore operates in a quiet manner with accurate control of the flow of treated air through the primary air circuit.
  • the distribution terminal shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is of the kind likely to be suitable for residental systems.
  • a distribution terminal 50 comprising an inlet 51 for primary treated air to a control valve 52. Air from the room enters the distribution terminal from below through an inlet 53 and mixes with primary air passing out of the control valve 52 in a mixing chamber 54 and is drawn from the mixing chamber 54 by a centrifugal blower 55 in an inline configuration and directed out of the terminal through exits 56.
  • the control valve 52 comprises a generally T-shaped housing, the inlet 51 constituting the upright of the T.
  • the cross member of the T is formed by a cylindrical closed- ended tubular member 57 having adjacent each closed end a cut away window covered by a perforated plate 58.
  • Each window extends around approximately half of the circumference of the tube 57 and extends inwardly from adjacent the respective end of the tube 57 to a line continuing the base of the T formed by the inlet 51.
  • a rotatable shutter is provided mounted for rotation by a valve motor 59 provided on one end of the tube 57.
  • the rotatable shutter 60 is divided into two parts, one received adjacent each of the perforated plates 58. Each part of the shutter 60 is linked by a central drive shaft (not shown) connected to the motor 59.
  • Each of the two parts of the shutter 60 is formed as a cylindrical tube having a window therein corresponding in size and shape to the perforated plate 58 so that the shutter 60 is rotatable so that the perforated plate 58 is entirely closed by an underlying, non-windowed portion of the shutter 60 and is also rotatable, via intermediate positions, to a position in which the perforated plate 58 is fully open for air flow therethrough and is coincident with the aperture formed in the respective part of the shutter 60.
