Abstract
An air conditioning and filtration system (10) comprising a pre-treatment system (12) for initially filtering air drawn from an external environment; pressurisation means (50) for positively pressurising air filtered by the pre-treatment system (12) and at least one circulation means (106). Each circulation means (106) draws air from the external environment through the pre-treatment system (12) and pressurisation means (50) as well as air from at least one enclosed area (1) for combination into an air stream. The air stream is thereafter directed to at least one set of filtration means (94) and air conditioning means (96) before being conveyed to at least one of the at least one enclosed areas (1).
Claims12
An air conditioning and filtration system comprising:
- a pre-treatment system for initially filtering air drawn from an external environment;
- pressurisation means downstream of said pre-treatment system and configured for positively pressurising air that has been filtered by the pre-treatment system;
- at least one circulation means, each circulation means operable to draw air from the external environment through the pre-treatment system and pressurisation means and air from at least one enclosed area, and to combine the air drawn from the external environment through the pre-treatment system and pressurisation means and air drawn from at least one enclosed area to generated a combined air stream;
- an air treatment set, each element of the air treatment set comprising a filtration means and an air conditioning means, each element of the air treatment set being housed in a stackable housing that is separate from said pre-treatment system;
- and wherein the combined air stream is directed to the air treatment set before being conveyed to at least one of the at least one enclosed areas, and wherein, when stacked, stackable units are in fluid communication with a head housing by way of a common air conduit, the head housing operable to house at least the pre-treatment system and the pressurisation means;
- wherein the filtration means in the air treatment set comprises drum filters;
- wherein the pre-treatment system comprises at least one cyclonic particle separator;
- wherein the pressurisation means system comprises either a pressurisation fan or a pressurisation filter;
- and wherein the circulation means comprises at least one circulation fan.
