Abstract
An air conditioning system serving a room to be treated using a source of conditioned air includes one or more multifunction apparatuses, which are equipped with a plenum, one or more air supply ducts to feed the plenum through one or more inlet openings, and a terminal element for interfacing the one or more multifunction apparatuses to enable the passage of the conditioned air and exchange heat by irradiation and/or convection with the room to be treated. The multifunction apparatuses are arranged into the room to be treated with a vertical or horizontal extension and include regulation systems for varying the distribution of conditioned air in the one or more multifunction apparatuses between the vertical and/or horizontal internal portions of the apparatuses.
Claims25
An air conditioning system serving a room to be treated, comprising:
- a source of conditioned air;
- one or more multifunction apparatuses (1), said one or more multifunction apparatuses (1) being each equipped with a plenum (3), one or more air supply ducts (2, 16, 17, 19, 24, 25, 32) to feed said plenum (3) through one or more inlet openings (5, 22, 28a, 28b, 33), and a terminal element (4) for interfacing said one or more multifunction apparatuses (1) with the room to be treated,
- wherein said terminal element (4) comprises a surface permeable to air, so as to allow a passage of the conditioned air and perform heat exchanges by irradiation and/or convection with the room to be treated,
- wherein said plenums (3) of said multifunction apparatuses (1) extend vertically and are equipped with one or more partitioning walls or diaphragms (6, 53), said one or more partitioning walls or diaphragms (6, 53) dividing said plenums (3) into internal horizontal portions (7) of predetermined height, and
- wherein said multifunction apparatuses (1) comprise regulation systems (8, 12, 15, 15a, 15B, 23, 26, 27, 34, 50, 231) for varying a distribution of the conditioned air between the internal horizontal portions (7) of said apparatuses as a function of temperature and/or flow rate of the conditioned air, and/or a temperature difference between the conditioned air and the room to be treated.
An air conditioning system serving a room to be treated, comprising:
- a source of conditioned air;
- one or more multifunction apparatuses (1) each equipped with a plenum (3);
- one or more air supply ducts (2, 16, 17, 19, 24, 25, 32), to feed said plenum (3) through one or more inlet openings (5);
- and
- a terminal element (4) for interfacing said one or more multifunction apparatuses (1) with the room to be treated,
- wherein said terminal element (4) comprises a perforated sheet or a surface permeable to air to allow a passage of the conditioned air and to perform thermal exchanges by irradiation and/or convection with the room to be treated,
- wherein said plenums (3) of said one or more multifunction apparatuses (1) extend horizontally and comprise one or more partitioning walls (6) which divide said plenums (3) into at least one upper internal portion (7) and at least one lower internal portion (7) of said plenums (3),
- wherein said partitioning walls (6) are provided with openings (203) for a controlled passage of the conditioned air between the upper and the lower portions (7) of the plenums (3).
