Abstract
A system for conditioning the air of a selected area, e.g. a room, of a house or other building structure, including individual refrigeration units for respectively heating and cooling the room. The respective units are sized according to the heating and cooling loads of the room, and when heating add blower motor and compressor heat and when cooling exclude such extraneous heat.
Claims9
A system for heating the air of an area of a building, comprising a refrigeration heating unit, including an evaporation coil, a condensation coil, an expansion valve, a compressor, and a working fluid, thermal insulation means for separating at least a substantial portion of said evaporation coil from said condensation coil, the former and latter being positioned in air flow communication, respectively, with air exteriorly and with air inside of such building as separated by said thermal insulation means, blower means for blowing air from within such area along a flow path across said condensation coil to be heated thereby and into such area for heating the same, and motor means for driving said blower means, said motor means being positioned on a side of said thermal insulation means in exposure to air from within such area whereby heat developed by said motor means is transmitted to air in such flow path.
A system for heating the air of an area of a building, comprising a refrigeration heating unit, including an evaporation coil, a condensation coil, an expansion valve, a compressor, and a working fluid, thermal insulation means for separating at least a substantial portion of said evaporation coil from said condensation coil, the former and latter being positioned in air flow communication, respectively, with air exteriorly and with air inside of such building as separated by said thermal insulation means, blower means for blowing air from within such area along a flow path across said condensation coil to be heated thereby and into such area for heating the same, and motor means for driving at least one of said compressor and blower means, said motor means being positioned interiorly of said thermal insulation means whereby heat developed by said motor means is transmitted to air in such flow path.
A system for conditioning the air of a selected area of a building having at least one exterior wall, comprising heating and cooling means for respectively heating and cooling such area, said heating and cooling means comprising a separate refrigeration heating unit and refrigeration cooling unit positioned in such exterior wall of such area, and each being of a size corresponding, respectively, to the approximate heating and cooling requirements of such area, said refrigeration heating unit of said heating means including an evaporation coil, a condensation coil, and expansion valve, a compressor, and a working fluid, said heating means further comprising thermal insulation means for separating at least a substantial portion of said evaporation coil from said condensation coil, the former and latter being positioned in air flow communication, respectively, with air exteriorly and with air inside of said building as separated by said thermal insulation means, blower means for blowing air from within such area along a flow path across said condensation coil to be heated thereby and into such area for heating the same, and motor means for driving said blower means, said motor means being positioned on a side of said thermal insulation means in exposure to air from within such area, whereby heat developed by said motor means is transmitted to air in such flow path.
A system for conditioning the air of a selected area of a building having at least one exterior wall, comprising heating and cooling means for respectively heating and cooling such area, said heating and cooling means respectively comprising a separate refrigeration heating unit and a separate refrigeration cooling unit, each positioned in such exterior wall of such area, and each being of a size corresponding, respectively, to the approximate heating and cooling requirements of such area, said separate refrigeration heating and cooling units respectively including means only for heating and cooling such area and not vice versa, said refrigeration heating unit of said heating means including an evaporation coil, a condensation coil, an expansion valve, a compressor, and a working fluid, said heating means further comprising thermal insulation means for separating at least a substantial portion of said evaporation coil from said condensation coil, the former and latter being positioned in air flow communication, respectively, with air exteriorly and with air inside of such building as separated by said thermal insulation means, blower means for blowing air from within such area along a flow path across said condensation coil to be heated thereby and into such area for heating the same, and motor means for driving at least one of said compressor and blower means, said motor means being positioned interiorly of said thermal insulation means whereby heat developed by said motor means is transmitted to air in such flow path.
