Abstract
A ventilation system for providing fresh outdoor directly to each floor through an intake damper on the floor and for admitting only as much air as is required to meet the required outdoor air requirements when the temperature of the outdoor is at extreme ambient temperatures. The system utilizes a compartment unit on each floor and a plurality of VAV's which are located in zones on the floor for achieving desired temperatures in each zone by combining the recirculating air with the outdoor fresh air for delivering to the VAV's at about 55° F.
Claims15
A ventilation system for a high rise building having a plurality of conditioned floors, the system comprising:
- a compartment unit at each of the plurality of conditioned floors for mixing outdoor air and returned air therein for delivering conditioned air to each floor at a design temperature;
- an intake damper at each of the plurality of floors for directly connecting between the compartment unit and the outdoors, each intake damper directly admitting outdoor air from the outdoors to the compartment unit and capable of admitting a volume of outdoor air up to a total volume of conditioned air for the floor;
- one or more distributors on each conditioned floor for receiving the conditioned air from the compartment unit at the design temperature and for controlling the amount of conditioned air delivered to each of one or more zones on the conditioned floor so as to achieve a desired zonal temperature in the one or more zones;
- and
- an exhaust damper for each conditioned floor for exhausting excess air in an amount equal to or less than the admitted outdoor air.
