Abstract
A multi-duct air conditioning system integrating ventilation, humidity control, filtering, chilling and heating, and distribution of liquids, embodied in a combination of means operating at peak efficiency under varied conditions, characterized by a dual-stage refrigeration heat-pump apparatus with separate condensing of refrigerant subsequently comingled and expanded in a single evaporator supplying chilled water, and by a dual-media air conditioning apparatus with refrigeration chilled water and evaporatively cooled water for heat absorption from ventilation units, luminaires and space zones.
Claims39
An integrated multi-duct air conditioning system for building structures divided into perimeter and interior space zones, and including;
- fluid distribution means delivering conditioned air separately to the perimeter and interior space zones and taking return air therefrom,
- evaporative cooling means supplying cooling liquid to the perimeter and interior space zones,
- chilling-heating means supplying separate chilling and heating liquids to the fluid distribution means and conditioning the air delivered thereby and supplying chilling liquid to the perimeter and interior space zones,
- and liquid distribution means receiving the evaporatively cooled liquid and applying it to the absorption of heat from lighting means in the perimeter and interior space zones respectively and receiving the chilling liquid and applying it to the absorption of space heat from the perimeter and interior space zones respectively.
An integrated air recovery conditioning system for building structures, and including;
- fluid distribution means delivering dehumidified conditioned air into space zones of the building and taking return air therefrom,
- evaporative cooling means operating on said dehumidified return air and supplying cooling liquid to the space zones,
- chilling-heating means supplying separate chilling and heating liquids to the fluid distribution means and conditioning the air delivered thereby and supplying chilling liquid to the space zones,
- and liquid distribution means receiving the evaporatively cooled liquid and applying it to the absorption of heat from lighting means within the space zones and receiving the chilling liquid and applying it to the absorption of space heat from within said space zones.
An integrated two stage air conditioning system for building structures, and including;
- fluid distribution means delivering conditioned air to space zones of the building structure and taking return air therefrom,
- two stage chilling-heating means supplying separate chilling and heating liquids to the fluid distribution means and conditioning the air delivered thereby, there being a first stage low pressure refrigeration means associated with waste heat, and there being a second stage high pressure refrigeration means associated with heat recovery, the said two stages being directed through separate waste heat and heat recovery condensors.
An integrated dual stage liquid media heat transfer air conditioning system for building structure space zones having luminaire lighting, and including;
- fluid distribution means delivering conditioned air to a space zone of the building structure and taking return air therefrom,
- evaporative cooling means supplying cooling liquid to said space zone,
- chilling-heating means supplying chilling and heating liquids to said space zone and conditioning the air delivered thereby to the fluid distribution means,
- and liquid distribution means receiving the evaporatively cooled liquid and applying it to absorption of heat from the luminaires and receiving the chilling liquid and applying it to the absorption of heat from the space zone surrounding said luminaires.
An integrated multi-duct air recovery conditioning system for building structures divided into perimeter and interior space zones, and including;
- fluid distribution means delivering dehumidified conditioned air separately to the perimeter and interior space zones and taking return air therefrom,
- evaporative cooling means operating on said dehumidified return air and supplying cooling liquid to the perimeter and interior space zones,
- chilling-heating means supplying separate chilling and heating liquids to the fluid distribution means and conditioning the air delivered thereby and supplying chilling liquid to the perimeter and interior space zones,
- and liquid distribution means receiving the evaporatively cooled liquid and applying it to the absorption of heat from lighting means in the perimeter and interior space zones respectively and receiving the chilling liquid and applying it to the absorption of space heat from the perimeter and interior space zones respectively.
An integrated multi-duct air recovery conditioning system for building structures divided into perimeter and interior space zones, and including;
