Definitions

  • the invention concerns a supply air terminal device.
  • This application presents a supply air terminal device of a new type, wherein the . circulated air is mixed in an internal mixing chamber with the fresh supply air without heating or cooling the circulated air.
  • Internal circulation of air in the device is a way of avoiding expensive recirculated air solutions through the supply air terminal unit and at the same time of preventing impurities from spreading from one room space to another.
  • the primary air is blown into the device tlirough nozzles.
  • the secondary room air is taken into the device by way of controlled flow routes.
  • the flow of secondary air is brought about by using the induction effect of the primary air.
  • the primary air and the secondary air are mixed within the device before the air discharges from the device into the room space.
  • the ratio of secondary air can be controlled by using an internal control part in the supply air terminal device either manually or using an electric - motor. Motor control is controlled with the aid of a separate control device or control algorithm.
  • the device may also function as a condensing device, whereby it is equipped with a condensate removal fitting.
  • the device can be used for controlling the room air velocity and thus for controlling comfort conditions irrespective ofthe flow of supply air.
  • the supply air terminal device is characterised in that its supply air jet behaves almost like an isothermal jet, whereby in a cooling situation it is possible to prevent the supply air jet from dropping directly into the occupied zone and thus significantly to avoid the risk of draught, and in a heating situation it is possible to avoid un unfavourable temperature stratification in the ceiling.
  • the behaviour of the inducing supply air terminal device also guarantees an efficient mixing of room air and a high efficiency of ventilation. Owing to its characteristics, the inducing supply air terminal device is especially suitable for such service situations, where the primary air used as supply air is significantly cooler or warmer than the room air.
  • the supply air temperature may vary significantly in different service situations of the installation, or the air volume of supply air, that is, of the primary airflow, may change during serv- ice.
  • the supply air terminal device which strongly induces the circulated air, may be used e.g. in the following cases: in cases where unheated supply air is used as the primary air, in air heating systems, in installations, where cold storages are used to level out electric energy consumption peaks round the clock, ,

  • the circulated airflow is thus drawn with the aid of the supply airflow into the mixing chamber, and the combined airflow will leave the device.
  • the combined airflow moves freely into the room space through a flow gap extending over the length of the device or through a round or annular flow aperture without any perforated surface or such that would slow down the airflow.
  • the device is thus efficient and it can be used to circulate great air volumes of room air.

  • the airflow induced by the primary airflow and conducted from the room space is called the circulated airflow, that is, the secondary airflow, in this application.
  • control of the induction ratio has also become necessary in certain applications. This means that it is possible to control the ratio Q 2 /Q ⁇ between the flow volumes Q 2 and Q] ofthe circulated airflow L 2 and the supply airflow L,.
  • the present application proposes use of a separate induction ratio control device.
