Definitions
- the present invention relates to the provision of ventilation air for buildings and to cooling of the ventilation air prior to introduction into a building.
- an apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building includes a radiating panel having an emissive surface for use on the building such that the emissive surface of the panel is directed skyward and exposed to ambient air.
- the radiating panel defines an air collection space between itself and the building and has a plurality of air openings for the ambient air to pass through the openings to the air collection space.
- a passageway extends between the air collection space and an interior of the building and is located for passage of cooled ambient air from the air collection space into the interior of the building.
- a fan is located for moving the cooled ambient air from the air collection space through the passageway to the interior of the building.
- a method of cooling ventilation air for a building includes providing on a surface of a building, a radiating panel having an emissive surface such that the emissive surface of the panel is directed skyward and exposed to ambient air.
- the panel defines an air collection space between itself and the building and includes a plurality of air openings for the ambient air to pass through the openings to the air collection space.
- the method further includes drawing the ambient air through the air openings and into the air collection space, cooling the ambient air by transferring heat to the panel and radiating heat from the panel to the sky, to provide cooled ventilation air and withdrawing the cooled ventilation air through an air inlet and pushing the cooled ventilation air into the building.
- air that is drawn into the air collection space between the panel and the building is cooled by heat transfer to the panel and radiation of heat from the panel to the sky.
- the ventilation air provided to the building is cooled compared to ambient air temperature.
- horizontal Z-bars are used to support the panel on a sloped roof. Some condensation that forms on the backside of the panel runs downwardly to a Z-bar and then drops off and to the roof of the building where the water runs off.
- less water remains on the backside of the panel, leaving less water to cool down, allowing for cooling of the air.
- a heating passage is located for passage of heated ambient air from the collection space into the interior of the building.
- ambient air heated by solar radiation is directed into the building during the heating months while cooled air is directed into the building during the cooling months.

- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the apparatus of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of an apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of an apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of an apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 6 is a sectional side view of an apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 7 is a partial sectional side view of the apparatus of Figure 6, drawn to a larger scale.
- Figure 8 is a partial top view of the apparatus of Figure 6, drawn to a larger scale.
- the Stefan-Boltzmann Law of Radiation provides a calculation of heat loss from a warm surface to a colder surface. Roofs of buildings exposed to the clear night sky experience a temperature drop below that of ambient air temperature due to radiation heat loss from the roof to the cool night sky.
- the cooling rate in a clear, dry climate is approximately 75 W/m 2 of roof. The cooling rate reduces with higher humidity and cloud cover.
- the night cooling effect begins when the heat loss exceeds the solar heat gain, typically beginning prior to dusk and lasting until after dawn. Thus, approximately 10 to 12 hours of potential cooling to the night sky, exists each day.
- the apparatus 10 includes a radiating panel 14 having an emissive surface 16 for use on the building 50 such that the emissive surface 16 of the panel 14 is directed skyward and exposed to ambient air.
- the radiating panel 14 defines an air collection space 18 between itself and the building 50 and has a plurality of air inlet openings 20 for the ambient air to pass through the openings 20 to the air collection space 18.
- a passageway 22 extends between the air collection space 18 and an interior of the building 50 and is located for passage of cooled ambient air from the air collection space 18 into the interior of the building 50.
- a fan 24 is located for moving the cooled ambient air from the air collection space 18 through the passageway 22 to the interior of the building 50.
- the apparatus 10 for cooling ventilation air for a building 50 will now be further described with continued reference to Figures 1 and 2.
- the apparatus 10 is shown fixed to a roof 52 of the building 50.
- the radiating panel 14, referred to herein as the panel 14, is a corrugated metal panel with a highly emissive or radiating surface 16 and an opposing surface 17 with low absorption and emissivity.
- one surface has a higher emissivity rate than the other surface.
- the panel 14 is fixed to the outer surface of the roof 52 with the highly emissive surface 16 facing skyward and the less emissive surface 17 (also referred to herein as the downward facing surface 17) facing the roof 52 of the building 50.
- the roof 52 in the present embodiment is angled downwardly from an apex near the center of the roof 52 toward the outer edge and portions of the corrugated panel 14 extend generally parallel with the roof 52.
- the panel 14 includes a lower portion 26 proximal the outer edge of the roof 52 and an upper portion 28 proximal the apex of the roof 52.
- the panel 14 covers the majority of the roof 50 to provide shade to the roof 50.
- the panel 14 is fixed to the outer surface of the roof 52 by intermediary Z-section bars 30 mounted on hat clips 32.
- the hat clips 32 are secured to the outer surface of the roof 52 using suitable fasteners.
- the clips 32 are located in horizontal rows and are spaced apart so as to permit air flow between the clips.
- the Z-section of each of the bars 30 is shown in Figure 2. As shown, these bars 30 are fixed to the clips 32 and to the panel 14 such that the central web portion of the Z-section bars further spaces the panel 14 from the roof 52. Thus, one edge of the Z-section bar is seated against the spaced apart clips 32, while the other edge of the bar is seated against the panel 14.
- the panel 14 includes the air inlet openings 20 distributed throughout the surface of the panel 14.
- the air inlet openings 20 provide a travel path for ambient air to enter the air collection space 18 from the exterior.
- the air inlet openings 20 are distributed generally uniformly over the surface of the panel 14 with the exception of the immediate surrounding area where the passageway 22 meets the air collection space 18.
- the air inlet openings are formed by rotary punching slits in the panel 14 such that gaps at the end of the slits provide the air inlet openings 20.
- the air inlet openings 20 are small to aid in filtering air prior to entry into the apparatus for cooling ventilation air.
- the perimeter of the panel 14 is closed off by a metal frame 33 that surrounds the panel 14.
- the metal frame 33 is sealed to the roof 52 around the sides and the top of the panel 14, using, for example, silicon caulking.
- the bottom of the metal frame is not sealed so as to allow rain or moisture to run off of the roof 52.
- An air duct 34 is in communication with the air collection space 18, extending from a lower portion of the air collection space 18 (at a lower portion of the sloped roof 52), passing through an exterior wall of the building 50, and providing the passageway 22 for cooled ambient air from the air collection space 18 to enter the interior of the building 50.
- the air duct 34 extends into the building 50 to provide cooled outside air to the interior of the building 50, through openings in the air duct 34.
- a fan housing 36 is connected along the air duct 34 and includes the fan 24 for moving air from the air collection space 18 into the interior of the building.
- the fan housing 36 is located on the roof 52, exterior to the building 50. Motorized dampers in the fan housing 36 are adjustable to allow air from the interior of the building to be mixed with cooled air from the air collection space 18.
- the fan 24 is typically sized to meet ventilation requirements and to inhibit negative air pressure within the building. A positive air pressure can be achieved by introducing the cooled air into the building through the air duct 34. Interior air leaves the building through openings and cracks.
- the fan 24 is a variable speed fan that is controlled by a controller dependent on the temperature of the incoming air. Thus, when the incoming air is above room temperature, the fan 24 runs at low speed. When the temperature of the incoming air is below room temperature, the fan speed increases to provide both ventilation air and cooling.
- the apparatus 10 for cooling ventilation air is located on the roof 52 of the building 50.
- Ambient air enters the air collection space 18 through the air inlet openings 20 in the panel 14, where the air is cooled.
- warm air in the air collection space 18 rises while the cool air in the air collection 18 space falls.
- the coolest air in the air collection space 18 naturally falls toward the lower portion of the air collection space 18, where the air is withdrawn from the air collection space 18 by the fan 24, through the passageway 22 provided by the air duct 34 and into the building 50, thereby providing cooled ventilation air to the building 50.
- a cooling unit 38 in the form of an air conditioner is provided and the fan 24 is located within the cooling unit. Cooled air that is withdrawn from the air collection space 18 and into the air duct 34 is passed to the cooling unit for further cooling before being introduced to mix with air in the interior of the building, thereby providing further cooling.
- the cooling unit 38 also includes a dehumidifier for removing some of the moisture from the air entering the building. The dehumidifier is useful in humid climates.
- the emissive surface 16 of the panel 14 is coated with a medium colored paint (between dark and white) to provide a heat absorbent surface.
- the panel 14 therefore acts as to heat the air in the air collection space 18 during the daylight hours.
- a second air duct 40 is in communication with the air collection space 18, extending from an upper portion of the air collection space 18 (at an upper portion of the sloped roof 52), to the fan 24, and providing a second passageway, this second passageway for heated ambient air from the air collection space 18 to enter the interior of the building 50.
- the first and second air ducts 34, 40 include dampers to direct air flow to the fan and into the building 50. Thus, air is selectively drawn from the air collection space 18 depending on time of day or heating or cooling needs.
- the apparatus 10 of the present embodiment is used for cooling ventilation air during the cooling (or summer) months.
- the apparatus 10 of the present embodiment is also used during the heating (or winter) months for heating ventilation.
- the air in the air collection space 18 is heated by a combination of solar heat transmitted by conduction through the panel 14 and by heat escaping from the inside of the building 50, through the roof 52. As indicated above, warm air in the air collection space 18 rises while the cool air in the air collection 18 space falls. Thus, the second air duct 40 is located to remove air from the upper portion of the air collection space. The heated air is then withdrawn from the air collection space 18 through the second air duct 40 by the fan 24 and is introduced into the building 50.
- the use of the coating of heat absorbent paint permits daytime heating while still permitting night time cooling when the sun is not up.
- air flow openings can be unevenly distributed, for example, by having fewer air flow openings at the lower portion of the panel, close to where the air duct 34 opens into the air collection space.
- the density of air inlet openings can increase with distance from the air duct 34.
- the size of the air inlet openings can increase with distance from the air duct 34.
- the air duct 34 for providing cooled air to the building is described as entering through a side wall of the building, it is also contemplated that this air duct can enter through the roof of the building.
- the apparatus for cooling ventilation air for a building has been shown and described on a sloped roof.
- the apparatus can also be used on a flat roof, as shown for example in Figure 5 which shows radiating panels 14 with several air openings 20 to permit air flow into the air collection space defined by the radiating panel on the roof 52 of the building 50.
- the radiating panels 14 are sloped in relation to the roof 52 such that the air is drawn off into the passageway 22 at a lower level of the air collection space. Since hot air rises, hot air moves toward the uppermost part of the radiating panels 14 or out the openings 20. The cooler air falls toward the passageway 22 where it is drawn off when in use. As shown, there are no air openings at the point where the air duct 34 meets the air collection space.
- the fan housing 36 (which includes the fan) is located on the roof 52.
- the air inlet openings can be formed in any suitable manner.
- the openings can be in the form of slits as described, or holes or gaps between adjacent and overlapping roof tiles.
- a radiating panel 14 that is made up of overlapping roof tiles 46 is shown.
- ventilation air passes through a gap under each tile, around the tile and then down between vertical supports 47 to which horizontal supports 48 are fixed.
- the horizontal supports 48 are fixed to the roof 52 of the building 50.
- the overlapping tiles that are used are photovoltaic panels for producing electricity during the day time.
- the heated air in the third-described embodiment can be further heated prior to mixing with air inside the building 50.
- a second fan housing and second fan can be used for drawing air in.
- the use of the hat clips and Z bars is described herein for exemplary purposes only. Other attachment means are contemplated.
- vertical Z bars can be used rather than clips, for example, if a certain distance of the roof is to be spanned or if roof supports are not in line with a clip mounting position.
- the vertical bars are positioned to allow air to move horizontally towards the passageway.
- the vertical bar under the horizontal bar stops short of the lower roof line to allow air to move horizontally towards the fan inlet.
- the size of the radiating surface of the panel and the flow rate controlled by the fan are related.
- the flow rate can be determined based on the size of the radiating surface of the panel and the maximum cooling rate for air passing through the openings.
- the size of the panel can be determined based on the flow rate and the maximum cooling rate for air passing through the openings.
