Abstract
A ventilation device for ventilating rooms in dwelling locations, or other spaces such as workman's barracks, cold storage and freezing rooms, and the like. An elongated housing is provided with a fan at one end with a reversible motor for controlling the direction of the fan. Heat holdover means comprising a series of heat-exchange plates is positioned in the housing and parallel to the direction of the air flow. Thermostats are provide at both ends of the housing for sensing the temperature of the air flowing by and thereby operating the reversible motor, thus controlling the direction of the fan.
Claims4
A device for ventilating spaces such as dwelling rooms, workmens barracks, cold storage and freeze spaces and the like, which device includes a fan located in a housing provided with two sockets positioned at a distance to each other, means for reversing the direction of said for, characterized in that the housing, apart from the fan, comprises a package positioned between the sockets, heat holdover means including several plates provided at a distance to each other, elongated narrow channels being defined between the plates, whereby inlet or outlet air passes through these channels and thereby gives off heat or cold to the plates while the air after exchange of the directions of rotation of the fan passes in the opposite direction through the channels picks up the heat and the cold, respectively, stored in the plates and returns it to the ventilated space.
