- Ventilation device and an air distribution system together, preferably in
- Air handling unit independently controlled.
- Many ventilation systems included as well
- Functional units such as sensors or temperature sensors, for example, to measure the temperature of the intake air to avoid possible icing.
- Modern home ventilation systems also operate energy-efficient: a powerful heat exchanger removes up to 98 percent of the heat contained in the exhaust air and uses them to heat the incoming fresh air, which significantly lower energy requirements and a reduction in C02 emissions, which in turn relieves the burden on the environment.
- Dedusting can also be found in other areas such as industrial buildings, large buildings or vehicles such as automobiles or
- Airplanes for the air conditioning of passenger cabins are Airplanes for the air conditioning of passenger cabins.
- channel systems which are made of galvanized sheet steel, aluminum or PVC and consist of cutable pipes or channels and can be connected, for example, with corner or elbow pieces. These have the disadvantage that the channel system often still has to be subsequently isolated in order to avoid freezing or condensation. Also have components of the aforementioned materials

- Channel component of a plastic particle foam comprises a plurality of channel elements which are plugged together and latched at least partially form a cavity.
- the plastic particle foam is an insulating layer with integrated heat or cold insulation and consists of plastic or
- a channel component according to the invention consists of at least one
- injection-molded frame member positioned at the open channel end and consisting of at least two separate parts and having a geometry to connect, seal and stabilize channel members.
- the equipped with a seal frame elements are on the
- channel elements placed and pressed air-tight, which fix themselves sealing by means of undercuts.
- the frame elements can be connected to each other, for example by means of a simple dovetail attachment.
- channel components with special functional elements in the channel system, which are equipped, for example, with fastening or mounting elements,
- This modular solution has the advantage that a duct system can be universally adapted to a wide variety of different environmental conditions.
- the necessary individual parts can be standardized and thus manufactured inexpensively, because you need fewer tools and can produce in higher quantities.
- the items can be stacked to save space and thus have a low transport volume, which also saves on transport costs.
- the lightweight components produced are stable, low-weight articles which, when combined with injection-molded plastic elements, can be sealingly joined together and joined together, with increased stability being achieved. In addition, you can
- the channel members may be varied in height and width by interconnecting more or less uniform channel or frame members, thereby scaling the cross-section of the respective generated channel. They offer the possibility of various interfaces, for example to pipes, channels or
- the channel lengths are flexible depending on the requirements and structural conditions and using the frame elements also stable over long lengths.
- FIGS. 1-8 are merely exemplary representations of the channel components according to the invention and in no way limit the general idea of the invention. Show it:

- Figure 4 Possible items of a frame member according to the invention and two embodiments of a frame member in the perspective view;
- Figure 5 possible items of a channel component according to the invention in the perspective view
- Figure 6 A first embodiment of a modular channel system under
- Figure 7 A second embodiment of a modular channel system under
- Figure 8 A perspective view of one with functional elements
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a channel component (1) in FIG. 1
- the channel component (1) consists of two wide
- Channel elements (2) and two narrow channel elements (3) which are respectively opposite and which are interconnected by four rounded Kanaleckopathy (4) and form a Flohlraum having two open ends.
- the frame members (20) mounted on the open ends are formed by two long frame part pieces (21) and two short frame part pieces (22) extending respectively opposite and which are interconnected by four rounded compassioneck consortiume (23).
- the channel elements (2, 3) are already included here as an example
- FIG. 2 shows the component parts of the channel component (1) of FIG. 1 which can be joined together.
- the connecting devices (11) on the side surfaces (10) of the channel elements (2, 3) and the channel corner elements (4) can be seen.
- the channel and Kanaleckieri (2, 3, 4) form an insulating layer (13), which preferably consists of plastic particle foam and a the
- Insulation layer thickness of which have distanced outer surface (14). Between the outer surface (14) and the inner surface (15) of the insulating layer (13) and the channel or Kanaleckelements (2, 3, 4) extend side surfaces (10). These have connecting devices (1 1), with each of which an immediately adjacent channel or Kanalaleckelement (2, 3, 4) can be engaged and connected airtight. This is, for example, a tongue and groove latching. In each case on a side surface (10) of each channel or Kanaleckelements (2, 3, 4) is arranged a groove and on the opposite side surface a corresponding spring. But there are also other geometries as connection devices conceivable.
- the frame elements (20) are shown in the assembled state. It is easy to see that one side has a receiving space
- Can channel component (1) can be connected, for example in the form of a simple dovetail attachment.

- Channel component (1) according to FIG. 1. It would also be possible to line up further channel elements (2, 3) and to construct the frame element (20) correspondingly with further frame section pieces (21, 22). Thus, the adaptation of the channel component (1) in fleas and width is variably possible.
