Abstract
Means for air conditioning a building interior so as to afford optimum comfort to all its occupants in terms of their physical characteristics. An automatic control mechanism monitors devices for measuring humidity, air velocity, bulb temperature, and the weight and body temperature of humans or animals occupying the said interior. The mechanism comprises a calculator assembly comprising a computer and a comparator. Control is effected by comparing in the comparator the ideal temperature calculated by the computer with the actual measured temperature. The transmitted error signal imposes the control either on a heater or on a ventilator 1 in response to a command signal from a thermostat.
Claims18
Apparatus for conditioning the air in an interior space in such manner that the parameters which contribute to a feeling of comfort on the part of the occupants of said space and the physical parameters of said occupants simultaneously satisfy an experimental condition of optimum comfort, said apparatus comprising:
- at least one computer means connected to
- (i) a group of means for measuring said parameters contributing to said feeling of comfort and transmitting a signal proportional to said parameters;
- (ii) a group of means for displaying said physical parameters of said occupants of said space and transmitting a signal proportional to said parameters;
- (iii) a group of adjusting means capable of modifying, during operation, at least one said parameter contributing to said feeling of comfort,
- said computer means comprising means for controlling at least one of said adjusting means to adjust at least one said parameter contributing to said feeling of comfort in response to said signals transmitted by said means for measuring and said means for displaying, to satisfy said condition.
