Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a humidity regulator apparatus in rooms of buildings.
  • rooms of buildings to be used as habitations or at all events to be designed to house persons and/or materials that are particularly sensitive to the moisture degree of the air contained in said rooms can be equipped with true conditioning apparatus or merely with air humidifiers to be used in winter combined with the heating plants and/or or with dehumidifiers to be used in summer to reduce sultriness.
  • JP58051921 a sheet-like material for adjusting humidity.
  • a material is obtained by uniformly bonding a powdery humidity-adjusting agent and a suitable fiber, to form an integral structure.
  • the powdery humidity-adjusting agent is modified montmorillonite clay, which is uniformly coated to Japanese paper and thin leaf paper; also beaten kraft pulp is present in such an embodiment.
  • This sheet-like material is molded into a strip-like or plate-like shape, so as to be used in a case for cultural assets, as a packing material for transportation of cultural assets, as a building material or an interior material.
  • the walls of a building can be made or plastered with clayey materials or crude earth materials that not only offer particular aesthetic natural solutions, but also offer advantageous properties due both to their full compatibility with the living organisms and suitability to neutralise odours and noxious substances, and to their capability of absorbing or releasing humidity also in important amounts without being submitted to structural alterations or losing their characteristics.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to conceive a humidity regulator apparatus capable of substantially obviating the limits of the above mentioned known apparatus and of the walls or other structural elements made up of or coated with clayey materials or crude earth materials at least partly.
  • Another important aim of the invention is to devise a humidity regulator apparatus based on use of natural and non-polluting materials which is able to ensure full bio-compatibility of the rooms in which it is set.
  • a humidity regulator apparatus in rooms of buildings, one said room having walls or other elements such as stoves, columns, panels, pillars, at least partly consisting of crude earth or other suitable material, characterised in that it comprises water supplying means designed to moisten said material and means for controlled conveyance to the material of the water fed by said supplying means.
  • the apparatus can be also used either through exploitation of surfaces of columns or pillars coated with the same materials adapted to absorb and release humidity (clay-based or clay-containing materials, crude earth materials, clayey crude earth or silty crude earth materials or others), or through exploitation of surfaces of other elements such as stoves or the like.
  • the invention can be also carried out in the presence of rooms fully made of said bio-compatible materials having the mentioned properties of absorbing/releasing humidity from and to the air.
  • Said apparatus comprises means 3 for supplying the water designed to moisten the clayey material 2 and means 4 for controlled conveyance of the water fed by said supplying means 3.
  • the water supplying means 3 can consist of one or more containers external to the wall in which storage of the water itself is possible by connection with suitable pipelines or directly through pouring off from other vessels.
  • the means 4 for controlled conveyance of the water to the clayey material 2 can be obtained from simple elements adapted to cause water flow by capillary attraction, such as strips of suitable textile material or other similar materials.
  • tubular elements adapted to convey the water from the container, located on or in an upper part of the clayey wall, to a lower region thereof.
  • Fig. 1 provision is made for use of one or more strips of fibrous material that have a first end 4c plunged in the water held in the container 3 and the other end 4b incorporated into the wall to be humidified.
  • the controlled-conveyance means 4 for the water is advantageously obtained by use of at least one panel of the same type as, or a type similar to those already known and utilised in wall heating.
  • Said panel has a pipe, a pipe coil 4a for example, incorporated thereinto and in communication with the clayey material 2 through a plurality of small apertures.
  • the water supplying means 3 consists of feeding ducts in which the water flow running therethrough can be suitably controlled or programmed by the user depending on requirements.
  • controlled-conveyance means 4 can comprise a valve or similar device capable of selectively enabling passage of water from the water supplying means 3 to the material susceptible of absorbing humidity.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention enables achievement of a healthy and comfortable humidity level in every type of room and under any situation, in particular in the presence of heating elements that by themselves would tend to bring the air to very reduced humidity rates, which humidity level is particularly suitable to the presence of humans and useful also for a correct conservation of wooden artefacts.
  • the apparatus being the object of the invention has a quite independent operation and adjusting action because humidity exchange between the crude earth material and the concerned environment will be greater or smaller depending on the air dryness or humidity, for a natural balance.
  • the apparatus being the object of the invention, in some more elementary forms thereof, can be also a creative and amusement element, in addition to being healthy.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention allows an important energy saving as compared with the apparatus of the known art and in addition the installation costs are very reduced. In fact it exploits the properties of absorbing/releasing humidity of the material forming the wall and also exploits the surface sizes to increase efficiency of the adjusting action.
