- This invention relates toair distribution systems generally, and'particularly to apparatus forreceivingconditionedair from a source and delivering'the air to one ormore spaces;
- the invention deals with" the-distribution of airto offices within an office building, rooms within-a school-building, and'the'like:
- the present invention provides an air distribution apparatus'including'anair controlsection andat'least one air diffuser section in fluid'communication such that air fl'owsfrom 'the cont'rol section to one'or more diffuser sections.
- the 'control section includes a' damper m'echa-- nism for throttling-airflow-through thecontrol section,-
- FIG. 1 isaperspective view, partially'brokenaway, of an airdistribution apparatus
- FIGVZ is afrontview'in-elevation of the appa'ratusof 45" FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is ase'ction view'taken along line 3-3 inFlG. r
- FIG. 4 is a section view taken alongline 4-4 of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged section of one form of sound baffle
- an air distribution apparatus is
- controlsection ll an'd'diffiiser section 12. While the" control-sectionll andfdiffuser section 12*are shown to be'contiguous, it-will be understood that such is notnecessary to thepresent" invention; and that diffuser section 12- may be located at some distance. remote from control section 11, the two-sections'in that instance being: connected'by suitable conduit or ductwork.
- baffle 26 is provided sound dampening baffle 26.
- Baffle 26 is in Control section 11 and diffuser section l2are generally,rectangular in cross section and are preferably constructed'of metal such as galvanized or enameled steel.”
- Ailayer of' sound absorbing insulation 15 is attached to the interior'walls of both sections.
- Diffuser section 12 includes depending flanges 16 at each longitudinal 'end thereof which are useful in attaching the diffuser section to the ceiling supports, such asaT-bar, generally providedfor installations of this;
- Control'section includes an air'inlet l3 and air outlets" l4 and 171
- Outlet 14 may be usedto connect control section" 11 to an additional diffuser section re-- motely located from control section 11.
- Outlet 17 places control section 11 into fluid communication with diffuser section 12 whereby a portion of the air" passin'glthrough control section 11 passes through outlet-I7 into diffuser section 12.
- the air delivery slots are formed by depending flanges 19, which are preferably semi-octagonal in contour, with a center strip 20 disposed between flanges 19, the center strip 20 having;
- Air entering control section 11 through inlet 13 passes through aV-shaped'perforated screen 22 which has been found to be useful in dampeningthe sound of theincoming-air.
- Air flow-through control section 11, and-subsequently into and through difiuser section 12, iscontrolled' by damper 25 rotatable about rod-3]. It has been found that air flow can be effectively controlledwhen damper'25 is arranged to turn through an angle of about 60 from the fullyopen to the fully closed'positions. To-accomplish this, damperstops 23 the-general form of 'a perforated plate, and is of'a particular configuration for best results.
- the baffle 26 includesan angled portion 27, a horizontal portion 28,
- angled portion 27 may be somewhat varied, it is preferred that this portion be at an angle'which' is about 0 to l5 from the horizontal less than the angle of damper 25 from the horizontal with the damper inthe closed position. For example, if angle A in FIG. 3 is about 60, it would be preferred that angle 8 be'from' about 45 to about 60.
- portion 28 is substantially horizontal, it can be seen that it will be essentially parallel'to damper 25 'when the damper is in the open position. It is also preferred that portion 29'be substantially vertical.
- baffle 26 After the air has passed through baffle 26, a portion of the flow will exitthrough outlet 14 to a satellite diffuser, and a portion of the flow will pass through outlet 17, through perforated screen 30, into diffuser section 12, to be delivered to the space in the manner previously described hereinbefore.
- sound dampening baffle 26 be of the particular configuration described, as that configuration has been found to be most effective in reducing the types of noise emissions most objectionable to most people.
- some beneficial results can be obtained with slightly different shaped baffles as will be more fully described with reference to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7.
- baffle 26a An alternative shaped baffle 26a is shown in FIG. 5.
- Baffle 260 includes angled portion 27a, curved portion 28a, and horizontal projection 34a.
- Yet another baffle shape is illustrated at 26b of FIG. 6, wherein baffle 26b includes angled portion 27b, vertical portion 29b, and horizontal projection 34b.
- FIG. 8 is illustrative of an alternative installation of baffle 26 and damper 25 within the air distribution apparatus 10.
- the structure is essentially the same as that illustrated in FIG. 3, for example, except that the damper mechanism and the sound baffle 26 have been inverted.
- damper 25 and baffle 26 have been maintained in that the damper lies adjacent horizontal portion 28 when in the open position, and lies in angular disposition along and spaced from slanted portion 27 in the closed position.
- damper 25 rotates counter-clockwise from the open to the closed position, rather than clockwise as in the configuration shown in FIG. 3, for example.
- the apparatus of FIG. 8 covers an advantage in that outlet 17 can be shifted more toward the center of control section 11, subjacent slanted portion 27. The more central location of outlet 17 provides improved distribution to diffuser section 12.
- SlL Speech Interference Levels
- L loudness level
- the SlL is a single number derived by taking the arithmetic average of sound pressure levels in the three octave frequency bands 600l,200, l,200-2,400, and 2,400-4,800 cycles per second.
- L,, in phons isobtained by measuring the sound pressure in each of eight octave bands, converting each to loudness in sones, and summing these to obtain a loudness in sones. This can then be converted to loudness in phons, or L,,, by the formula:
- N is the sum of the loudnesses in sones.
- the NC curves are plotted over a graph showing octave band level in decibels on the vertical axis, and sound frequency in cycle per second along the horizontal axis.
- NC levels are, in essence, an objective or empirical expression of a subjective matter. That is, NC levels seek to express the effect on humans of sounds of particular groups of frequencies and loudness levels. In general, the lower the NC level the less noticeable. and less annoying the sound represented; the higher NC levels indicating more noticeable and more annoying sounds. Accordingly, with reference to FIG. 7, it can be seen that for two sounds of equal loudness, the noise criteria level increases with the frequency of the sound. For example, at a level of 40 decibels, a sound at a frequency of I25 cps would have an NC level of about 20 whereas abound of 4,000 cps would have an NC level of about 42. That.
- NC levels for air delivery equipment for different types of environments have been suggested in the industry as general design guidelines. For example, a concert hall--NC 22, private hospital room--NC 30, school classroom--NC 35, general office space--NC 40, cafeteria--NC 45, and factory--NC 65. Viewing Table I, it can be seen without a sound dampening baffle such as baffles 26, 26a, and 26b, the NC level at 300 CFM (damper 25 in the open position) was too high for most air conditioning applications. However, with baffle 26, 26a, or 26b installed, the NC level has been brought within acceptable ranges, although some increases were noted at 50 CFM (danper 25 nearly closed).
- the apparatus of the present invention provides for the control and delivery of conditioned air to a space or plurality of spaces in a manner that insures the comfort of the occupants of the space from both a phsyiological and psychological view point by providing for air delivery which is relatively draft-free and does not create annoying background noise.
- An air distribution apparatus for providing conditioned air to at least one space, said apparatus comprismg:
- an air receiving portion having an air inlet and a plurality of air outlets
- damper means disposed in said air receiving portion to vary the volume of air passing through said portion
- said air receiving portion includes top and bottom walls, and wherein said second baffle slants downwardly and rearwardly from said top wall, thereafter extends substantially horizontally and rearwardly, and thereafter extends substantially vertically downwardly into contact with said bottom wall.
- said second baffle includes a slanted portion, said slanted portion disposed at an angle measured from the horizontal which is from about 0 to about 20 less than the angle at which said damper means is disposed from the horizontal when said damper means is in the closed position.
- said air receiving portion includes top and bottom walls; and wherein said second baffle slants downwardly and rearwardly from said top wall and thereafter smoothly curves downwardly and forwardly into contact with said bottom wall.
- said air receiving portion includes top and bottom walls, and wherein said second baffle slants downwardly and rearwardly from said top wall and thereafter extends substantially vertically downwardly into contact with said bottom wall.
- said air receiving portion includes top and bottom walls, and wherein said second baffle extends substantially vertically downwardly from said top wall to a point about midway between said top and bottom walls, thereafter extends substantially horizontally and forwardly toward said damper means, and thereafter slants downwardly and forwardly into contact with said bottom wall.
- said first perforated baffle comprises a substantially V-shaped perforated plate between said damper means and said air inlet, said first baffle extending substantially across the area of said air inlet.
- said slot means includes a semi-octagonal side and an L-shaped side facing said semi-octagonal side, whereby air passing through said slot means flows along the ceiling of said space.
- said slot means includes two spaced apart semi-octagonal sides and an inverted U-shaped member disposed between said semi-octagonal sides, said U-shaped member having horizontal projections at each tip thereof facing toward a respective semi-octagonal side, whereby air passing through said slot flows along the ceiling of said space in two oppositely directed streams.
- each of said diffuser portions includes a third perforated baffle disposed in the fluid passageways between said air outlets and each of said diffuser portions.
- said second perforated baffle including a slanted portion, a horizontal portion, and a vertical portion
- said damper means including a rotatable damper blade, wherein said slanted portion is disposed at an angle measured from the horizontal which is about 0 to 20 less than the angle at which said damper blade is disposed from the horizontal when said damper blade is in the closed position.
