Definitions
- the first is dehumidification by the use of refrigeration techniques. This usually involves the removal of moisture from the air using refrigerated surfaces which allow water to condense from the air and thereafter be removed.
- a second method is dehumidification using desiccants such as Silica Gel.
- the third method of drying waterlogged and water damaged rooms is by direct heating. This raises the temperature of the air in the room and the moisture in the walls and floor is removed due to accelerated evaporation.
- the present invention is derived from the realisation that it would be advantageous to adopt a method and apparatus for drying waterlogged or water damaged buildings which constantly monitors the effectiveness of the drying process by reference to several criteria including air temperature, air humidity, wall and floor temperature, humidity and electrical conductivity
- a method of drying damp or waterlogged rooms within a building including the steps of sealing the room from outside ambient air ingress and heating it internally until the inside ambient air therewithin is warm and humid following surface evaporation of water in the room, thereafter exhausting the warm and humid air from the room and drawing in outside ambient air, and monitoring humidity levels within the room, the sequence continuing until an indication is received that the room is suitably dry.
- the dry status of the room being dried is communicated via a desired signal or signals, such as by telecommunications, to a monitor operator of the method who may therefore abort or otherwise cancel the drying process at the earliest convenient time, therefore saving energy that would otherwise be used for drying an otherwise suitably dry room.
- drying apparatus for installation within a sealed damp or waterlogged room, the apparatus including sensing means to sense the level of humidity within the room, heating means to provide heat for the room, air circulation means for selectively circulating heated air within the room or selectively exhausting warm and humid air from the room and for allowing outside ambient air into the room, the apparatus also including sensor means for measuring selected characteristics indicative of water content within the room and means for cyclically changing the air within the room when a predetermined level of air humidity is reached, the apparatus being adapted to cyclically continue until the sensed humidity reaches a required level, the apparatus thereafter indicating, directly or indirectly, the completion of the drying process.
- the apparatus includes a heater, such as an electric heater, coupled via ducting to air circulation fans, such as an inlet fan and an outlet fan, the inlet fan selectively either recirculating air within the room until a chosen saturation point is sensed or, via the use of an air intake valve, drawing outside ambient air into the room to replace saturated air expelled by the exhaust fan at the end of each drying cycle.
- the apparatus includes a central processing unit which receives sensed signals from sensors in the room and on or in the apparatus which sense air or surface humidity.
- This may conveniently be achieved by temperature and humidity sensors positioned at the intake end of the intake fan and by corresponding sensors upstream of the exhaust fan, which may be further enhanced by sensors embedded in or on wall surfaces of the room in various chosen locations, such as the floor, walls and roof, to detect humidity levels or electrical conductivity indicative of humidity levels.
- the apparatus also includes means for recording energy used during the drying process so as to maximise the energy efficiency, and a timer for recording data at required intervals, such as hourly.
- the apparatus may be stand alone and simply operate until it detects that the room within which it is installed is sufficiently dry, it may instead advantageously include a remote communications facility which indicates to a monitor of the apparatus that the room is sufficiently dry for the apparatus to be removed and relocated if necessary to dry another room.
- Figure 1 is a schematic drawing of a drying apparatus operating in air circulation mode.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a drying apparatus operating in an air exchange/removal mode.
- Figure 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of a drying apparatus.
- Figure 4 is a front view of a portable drying apparatus.
- Figure 5 is a side view of the drying apparatus of Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a rear view of the drying apparatus of Figure 4 and.
- Figure 7 is a plan view of the drying apparatus of Figure 4.
- drying apparatus shown generally at 1 includes a heater housing 2 containing a heater element 3 and inlet fan 4 housed within an inlet duct 5 as well as outlet fan 6 and outlet duct 7, collectively by which heated air may be circulated within the room and exhausted from it when required.
- the apparatus 1 also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) 8 which monitors sensed signals from a temperature sensor 9 and a humidity sensor 10 upstream of the air intake fan 4 as well as exhaust temperature sensor 11 and exhaust humidity sensor 12 upstream of the exhaust fan 6.
- ECU 8 also monitors via a wall-mounted humidity or conductivity sensor 13 the amount of water in the wall 14 of the room being dried. Control and variation of the air circulation within and without the room is by means of a simple gate valve 15 positioned between an outside ambient air inlet duct 16 and a room air inlet 17, with an air filter 18 being positioned within the air inlet duct 5 immediately downstream thereof.
- a further temperature sensor 19 is provided immediately downstream of the heater element 3 to indicate a blocked filter 18 or loss of air flow due to e.g. failure of the inlet fan 4.
- the apparatus 1 is switched by ECU 8 to the mode illustrated in Figure 2 in which it will be seen that the gate valve 15 has been rotated through 90 degrees via a command from the ECU 8 such that it only allows outside ambient air into the room via the ambient air inlet 16, which then passes through the filter 18 and is monitored by the temperature and humidity sensors 9,10 and then heated via the heater element 3 to thereafter be monitored for temperature and humidity by sensors 11 and 12 while warm and humid air is removed by the exhaust fan 6 being switched on by the ECU 8 until a required temperature and humidity is sensed.
- the apparatus 1 In this exhaust mode the apparatus 1 is effectively removing warm humid air from the room and replacing it with dryer outside air, but which is preheated as it enters the room, thereby minimizing the possible effects of condensation caused by cold outside air entering the heated room.
- the ECU 8 may conveniently include a radio transmitter or other remote control sensing and control functions, for example for providing a warning that the room is dry following successive cycles of air recirculation and air exhaust. In this way, maximum use is made of the property of the air within the room to absorb water until it reaches a required water saturation point whereafter all the air in the room is then exhausted to be replaced by fresh, outside ambient but warmed air of a relatively low humidity which can thereafter more readily absorb evaporated water in the room at the least cost in terms of energy.
- a radio transmitter or other remote control sensing and control functions for example for providing a warning that the room is dry following successive cycles of air recirculation and air exhaust.
- optional flexible tubing 50 is employed.
- FIG. 3 there is shown a simplified circuit diagram for the apparatus described , in Figures 1 and 2 where like numbers are given to like parts. As is shown, most of the various components are connected to the ECU 8, which therefore controls the method and apparatus described earlier. As well as various temperature and humidity sensors 9,10,11 ,12 and 19 being arranged within the apparatus 1 there are also humidity sensors 13 which may conveniently be positioned on floor, wall and ceiling surfaces of the room within which the apparatus 1 is installed.
- the apparatus 1 may conveniently be provided with a mains electricity supply 20 which passes through a regulating filter 21 to reduce RF emissions and the electrical power is then supplied via a switch mode power supply unit 22 and measured by a meter 23.
- a control relay 24 is incorporated within the apparatus 1 upstream of the heater 3 to provide a mechanical cut-out in the circuit to prevent over temperature in the event of reduced airflow.
- the ECU 8 may conveniently include or have communications access to a card reader 25 to, store logged data from the drying process, such as temperature, humidity, energy used, and any error signals. This may be uploaded to a PC via a smart card for subsequently inspecting the data stored during the drying cycle. Alternatively, remote communication may be via a GSM module 26 to thereby remotely indicate when a room within which the apparatus 1 has been installed has, been dried.
- a power consumption and control panel 27, which may be incorporated within the apparatus or remote therefrom, monitors and displays the status of the drying operation and the apparatus 1 , and may also be used to modify the mode of operation by, for example, extending the drying cycle for a period beyond the indicated or projected time to dry a given room:
- the alternative embodiment operates as described above and is similar in construction to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, where like parts have like reference numerals.
- the alternative, easily portable, apparatus V is mounted on a wheeled cart 30 so that it can be wheeled to a suitable location in a room to be dried.
- the circuitry and mechanical parts described above may be replicated in this alternative apparatus 1', but are hidden from view within the casing of the embodiments of the apparatus depicted in Figures 4,5,6, and 7.
- the room 14 may be sealed and in a first operating mode, room air may be drawn into internal inlet duct 17, heated within apparatus V and expelled back into the room via room outlet duct 31.
- the warmed air may be monitored for humidity level and recirculated, continually increasing in temperature and humidity.
- the apparatus may be switched to a second mode whereby the moisture laden air in the room is sucked into further inlet duct 33 and exhausted from the room via exhaust duct 32.
- fresh air may be drawn into external inlet duct 16 from outside the room. That fresh air may then be heated and forced into the room via room outlet duct 31.
- Figure 7 shows the apparatus connected to flexible tubing 5.0.
- This tubing is used to connect the apparatus to external sources of air and to direct the ducts 17,31 and 33 to suitable locations in the room.
- the heated air outlet duct 31 can be directed to a locally damp area in the room to aid drying in that area.
- humidity within the room can be monitored at more than one point, for example via remote humidity sensors as described above. These monitors can transmit humidity data between them, so only one needs to be in line of sight with the apparatus if IR communication is used.
- Various safety features can be employed, for example a maximum room temperature can be selected or preset. If reached, perhaps when the room is dry and not increasing in humidity beyond a selected or pre-set level, then the apparatus operates in the second mode of operation, thereby drawing in fresh air to the room and lowering the room temperature.
