Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and method for the regulation of fluid, such as air, supplied to an isolated cell, such as a cabin on a sea-going vessel, such as a large passenger ship, or a fixed or floating offshore installation.
  • fluid such as air
  • a ventilation system has to provide a comfortable indoor climate, irrespective of whether the ship is traveling through a tropical or an arctic climate and irrespective of the activities taking place on board.
  • the isolated cells When ventilating isolated cells, such as cabins on board a ship, the isolated cells are supplied with pre-treated air from one or more centrally located air-handling units via a system of ducts.
  • the supply air is usually, filtered, cooled or heated and dehumidified or humidified fresh air from the outside of the ship.
  • the temperature of supply air is usually between 5 and 15 °C when it leaves the air-handler in order to always be able to meet any demand for cool air in any one of the cabins supplied by said central air-handler.
  • Each cabin is usually equipped with a local room temperature regulating device at the end of a supply air duct. Air is extracted from the cabin via exhaust-air ducts that extract used air to the outside of the ship.
  • variable air volume control device varies the amount of conditioned air that is supplied to a cabin.
  • VAV air terminal device maintains a desired temperature within the cabin by varying the quantity of conditioned air supplied to the cabin and/or by heating the supply air using a built-in supply air heater in response to the cabin temperature deviation from a set point of a thermostat.
  • VAV air terminal devices have means to maintain the air flow between a low limit that is dictated by the minimum statutory level of ventilation (exchange of stale air) and a high limit based on the maximum calculated thermal load that the cabin in question can be subjected to. The latter limit serves the purpose of limiting the required maximum air-handler output capacity.
  • VAV air terminal devices usually comprise means to establish the actual airflow by means of differential pressure measurement or direct airflow measurement in the air stream.
  • Swedish patent no. 510 211 discloses a measuring and control unit for air inlet and air outlet devices, which comprises a terminal unit in the form of a casing, to which an air outlet or air inlet device is coupled.
  • the terminal unit has a device for controlling the air flow and the pressure and comprises a perforated plate with a moveable damper plate on the surface.
  • An actuation force of high magnitude is required to displace the damper plate, especially when it's in an almost closed position because of the internal pressure of the terminal unit that acts on the damper plate.
  • WO 01/75374 discloses a unit according to the preamble of appending claim 1.
  • An object of the present invention is to regulate the airflow supplied to an isolated cell, reliably and precisely in a simple and novel way.
  • a device that a duct having an air inlet and two air outlets located on opposite sides/parts of the duct or a plurality of such pairs of outlets and a damper that comprises a displaceable element that is arranged to move over said at least two air outlets in order to adjust the cross sectional area (A) of said at least two air outlets.
  • the device also comprises means to determine the pressure of air upstream of the damper (p 1 ), means to determine the pressure of air downstream of the damper (p 2 ), means to determine the cross sectional area (A) of said at least two outlets, means to calculate the air flow (Q) or pressure that is supplied to the isolated cell through said at least two outlets of the duct and actuation means to displace the displaceable element in order to obtain a desired air flow.
  • the displaceable element comprises two opposing gates whereby one of said gates is arranged to open, partly obstruct or close one or more air outlets located on one side/part of the duct and the other gate is arranged to open, partly obstruct or close one or more air outlets located on the opposing side/part of the duct in order to achieve the desired air flow.
  • opposing gates is intended to mean gates that are placed substantially opposite one another on opposing sides or parts of a duct. The force of the internal pressure of the duct or apparatus which acts on the first gate equals the force acting on the second gate and these forces of equal magnitude acting in opposing directions cancel out one another. This results in the displaceable element being easy to displace even if the air outlets are almost completely closed.
  • the duct may be of any polygonal or non-polygonal shape. If the duct is substantially circular and therefore devoid of "sides" the pair(s) of air outlets are located on opposing parts of the duct. Even though the ventilation systems of ships are subjected to high pressures (typically in the range of 200-1500 Pa) the air pressure inside the duct does not influence the actuation force of the displaceable element even if said at least two air outlets of the duct are almost closed due to the provision of two air outlets located on opposite sides/parts of the duct.
  • high pressures typically in the range of 200-1500 Pa
  • the damper arrangement is designed in such a way that it cannot accumulate fibres or other debris and large flow induced vortices are broken up into smaller ones thus converting low frequency noise into middle or high frequency noise that can be attenuated sufficiently within the apparatus by means of a resistive technique before it reaches the inlet or the outlet of the apparatus regardless if the apparatus is used to control the supply- or exhaust air.
  • the measured differential air pressure may be incorporated into a derivation of the Bernoulli equation to determine the air flow rate through the device.
  • the cross sectional area of said at least two air outlets varies in proportion to the displacement of the displaceable element.
  • the displacement of the displaceable element in relation to a fixed point may therefore be used to establish the non-linear relationship between said differential pressure, said displacement and the actual airflow through said device.
  • the device further comprises means to calculate the airflow that is supplied to the isolated cell through said at least two air outlets of the duct and actuation means to displace the displaceable element by a predetermined and exact amount in order to obtain a desired airflow.
  • Such a device by virtue of the design of the displaceable element, eliminates the effect that the internal pressure would otherwise have on the displaceable element area, and hence on the actuation force of the damper mechanism.
  • the inventive device whose construction is simple, facilitates installation, replacement and maintenance work has a low consumption of energy, is relatively inexpensive and it's damper arrangement design results in low pressure-induced forces on the displaceable elements which in turn gives rise to a low actuation force of the damper arrangement.
  • the inventive device has a low internal pressure drop since the mass flow though the device is established mathematically using the differential pressure across the damper arrangement together with the cross sectional area of said at least two air outlets which is always known since the damper position relative a fixed point is always known. The need for an additional flow restriction across which the differential pressure drop could be measured is therefore avoided.
  • said at least two air outlets may be arranged so that dust, fibres or other debris will not accumulate in front of the damper arrangement the duct.
  • the cross sectional area of the air outlets increases as the damper is opened. If an air outlet becomes blocked, by a piece of mineral wool for example, the device automatically detects an undesired air flow reduction and opens the damper in order to increase the air flow whereby the piece of mineral wool will be blown through the air outlet. The device will then regulate the air flow back to restore the desired air flow.
  • the device is therefore self-cleaning and blockages will not be able to permanently affect the air flow negatively.
  • the inventive device therefore provides pressure independent airflow regulation of air for ventilation and temperature control of an isolated cell, such as a passenger cabin on a sea-going vessel or a fixed or floating offshore installation.
  • the invention may also be used to match the air quantity supplied to an isolated cell with the air quantity extracted from such a cell irrespective of pressure variations, in absolute and relative terms, in the supply-and exhaust duct systems.
  • the invention has self-cleaning properties in respect to dust and debris present in the air that passes the device.
  • the device comprises vortex reducing means to break up large flow induced vortices into smaller vortices, such as at least one perforated plate, located downstream of said at least two air outlets.
  • Vortex reducing means to break up large flow induced vortices into smaller vortices, such as at least one perforated plate, located downstream of said at least two air outlets.
  • Low frequency noise which is often generated by large flow induced vortices in conventional VAV air terminal devices when their damper arrangement is almost closed, is thus converted into intermediate or high frequency noise that can be attenuated sufficiently, by means of a simple and inexpensive resistive technique, before it reaches the inlet or the outlet of the apparatus utilising the inventive device regardless of whether the device is used to regulate the supply or exhaust air flow.
  • the device comprises air flow diverting means, located downstream of said at least two air outlets, to direct the air flow in a particular direction.
  • the air flow direction can therefore be changed without suffering an additional pressure loss in the system.
  • a single component such as perforated diverter plates that direct air in a particular direction on leaving said at least two air outlets, can provide the vortex reducing means and flow diverting means.
  • said at least two opposing plates are thin, i.e. the thickness of said at least two opposing gates is less than 5mm, preferably less than 3mm and most preferably less than 2mm.
  • the displaceable element is a slideably, pivotably or rotatably mounted element.
  • the device comprises actuation means to displace the displaceable element automatically whereby said actuation means are responsive to an output of a sensor or control unit that is indicative of the desired airflow.
  • said actuation means comprise a motor and a control linkage.
  • the displaceable element may be controlled or displaced manually, for example by the movement of a lever to which the displaceable element is mechanically linked.
  • a user such as the occupant of a cabin on a cruise ship, may select or vary the damper position so as to control the volume of air entering the cabin.

  • One of said gates is arranged to open, partly obstruct or close one or more air outlets located on one side/part of the duct and the other gate is arranged to open, partly obstruct or close one or more air outlets located on the opposing side/part of the duct in order to achieve the desired air flow.
