Abstract
A ventilation apparatus, preferably in the form of a wall mounted cabinet, has an outlet 6 for air; an inside air intake, an outside air intake 10; a fan 18 for drawing air towards the outlet 6 from either intake; a heat pump with an evaporator 16 for extracting heat from air moving towards the outlet 6 and a valve means for directing inside and/or outside air to the outlet 6. The apparatus can thus function to extract heat from outside and/or inside air in accordance with the inside and outside temperature respectively. Preferably the valve means includes a cabinet door for exposing the inside air intake which is connected to a valve 24 for closing the outside air inlet as the inside air inlet is exposed. A filter may enable the inside air intake to function in the manner of an air extractor over a cooker. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Ventilation apparatus
Field ofinvention The invention relates to ventilation apparatus particularly for use in kitchen, restaurants etc. where warm polluted air has at times to be ventilated to atmosphere.
Background ofinvention Heat pumps have been used to recover waste heat from warm air to be ventilated to atmosphere. It has been found that the usage of such heat pumps in less intensive applications, such as domestic kitchens, has been insufficient to justify installation on economic grounds. It is the main purpose of the invention to so arrange the ventilation apparatus including a heat pump that it is more beneficial.
Summary ofinvention According to the invention a ventilation apparatus having a heat pump is arranged for operation in an external source mode wherein the heat pump interacts with outside air to extract heat therefrom and/or in an internal source mode wherein the heat pump interacts with inside air to extract heat therefrom before ventilating it to atmosphere. In a most preferred form of the invention the apparatus is housed in a cabinet having an inside air intake (which may be positioned over a cooker); a heat pump; an outside air intake; an outlet to outside and a valve mechanism and fan for directing inside and/or outside air to the outlet and past the evaporatop coil of the heat pump.
If required the apparatus may permit flow from the outside air intake past the evaporator coil to be exhausted inside and hence cool the inside air. The heat absorbed by the evaporator coil can be transferred in a heat exchanger for the heating of water.
Thus the energy requirement for heating water from primary energy sources can be reduced, both during hot weather when heat is recovered mainly from outside air and during cold wether when heat can be supplemented and/or recovered mainly from inside air.
The invention thus permits ventilation apparatus to be used for heat extraction and hot water heating purposes for most of the year in temperate climates.
Obviously the heat exhanger can be used to heat other fluids than water.
Preferably the valve is operated by a lid or door on the front of the cabinet which is constructed for wall-mounting. The opening of the lid or door can expose a filter inlet for a head constituting the inside air intake. The valve mechanism may be connected to the lid or door so that when the inside air intake is opened the outside air intake is closed.

Specific description
With reference to the Figures a wall mounted cabinet 2 has a lid or door 4 hinging about a transverse axis 5 at the top. When the door 4 is opened (see Figure 3) there is an outlet 6 for exhaust air, an inside air intake or inlet 8 formed by the door opening and an outside air intake 10. The air outlet 6 and the intake 10 can be arranged along different axes shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 to connect to ducting through walls orthrough ceilings. Afilter 12 (see Figure 4) is arranged to lie across the inside air intake 8. A duct 14 connects the intake 8 to a comprtment 15 containing a heat pump evaporator 16 and fan 18 (see Figure 1). The door 4 is connected through a wire 20 and pulleys 22 to close a valve flap 24 for the outside air intake 10 as the door 4 opens.
The compartment 15 may be a pre-assembled unit fitted into the cabinet 2. Apart from containing the fan 18 which is arranged in the air outlet 6, the evaporator 16 and the flap 24, it also contains a drip tray at 26. The cabinet 2 further contains a compressor 28 which is oil-cooled and a thermostatically controlled expansion valve 30 and drier 32. The cabinet 2 also supports a heat exhanger 33 for heating ore pre-heating water. The heat exchanger may be coiled, coaxial or a shell in tube type. An associated hot water storage tank may be contained in an adjacent wall mounted cabinet (not shown).
Hot and cold water connections are provided at 34 and 36. The heat pump system is of conventional lay out but optimized for operation in a heat extraction function.
In use the wall cabinet is preferably positioned over a source of waste heat such as a cooker. The door 4 can be opened only when required. The air is then propelled through the filter 12, between the door 4 and bellow type sides 11 past the evaporator 16 and to the outside by the fan 18. When the door is closed the fan can extract heat from outside air through the intake 10. Intermediate conditions can be provided by partly opening the door 4.
The filter 12 may be mounted on a fixed grating moving with the door 4. In Figure 4, the filter is mounted on a pair of foldable gratings 40 on frames 41 pivoted to the door 4 and the cabinet body to enable the interior space of the cabinet 2 to be used more fully. In yet another construction, the grating could be fixed to the bottom of the cabinet 2 and a further flap valve be used to permit air to pass through the grating and filter.
The duct 6 could have an opening to exhaust air either outside the building or inside. By exhausting air inside, the inside of a building can be cooled on hot days.
