In order in a facade comprising hollow uprights and hollow upper and lower transverse crossbars to be able to dispense with an expensive air-conditioning installation, a cross-stream blower is arranged under a railing crossbar. Over the cross-stream blower there is either provided a star ribbed pipe or the railing crossbar is constructed in several parts and provided with laminations the function of which is to serve in the pre-cooling or pre-heating of air drawn from a room of the building by the cross-stream blower, the pre-cooling or pre-heating taking place as the air is discharged from the blower and before it is sent back into the room. Pre-heated or pre-cooled air may be returned to the room by way of the railing crossbar, by way of and from the hollow uprights or by way of and from the upper transverse crossbar. A filter provided in advance of the cross-stream blower inhibits the passage of any health-hazardous dust or bacteria from reaching the blower or being transmitted back into the room.
Apparatus for conditioning the environment within a room or room area of a building bounded by a facade wall or walls thereof including means defining a function field of said apparatus comprising, with reference to a floor level of said room or room area to which it applies, and in a wall portion thereof, at least one pair of laterally spaced hollow uprights interconnected with and bridged by a plurality of hollow cross bars which are vertically spaced and include upper, lower and intermediately positioned cross bars, an intermediate of said cross bars being a railing cross bar which bounds one limit of the vertical extent of a railing zone of said function field the opposite limit of which is defined by another of said cross bars and the lateral limits of which are defined by portions of said one pair of uprights, said hollow uprights and cross bars defining a framework including therein means defining a flow path interconnected with means extending through said railing zone for delivering thereto and inducing the passage therethrough of a flow of hot or cold liquid, as needs require, means in connection with and within the railing zone of said framework including a cross stream blower defining a passage for movement of air from an inlet thereto, which is upstream of said blower and communicates with the interior of said room or room area the environment of which must be conditioned, to an interior portion of said railing cross bar, said cross stream blower, when energized, being operative to draw air from said room or room area through said inlet and deliver it to and through said railing zone and to and from said railing cross bar in the process of which to inherently subject said air to the influence of said hot or cold liquid and means providing for discharge of said air so conditioned by way of openings from one or more of said hollow uprights and vertically spaced cross bars directly back to said room or room area from which said air was originally drawn, thereby to provide a simple, complete and highly effective system for conditioning the environment thereof.
Apparatus for conditioning the environment within a room or room area of a building bounded by a facade wall or walls thereof including means defining a function field of said apparatus comprising, with reference to a floor level of said room or room area to which it applies, and in a wall portion thereof, at least one pair of laterally spaced hollow uprights interconnected with and bridged by a plurality of hollow cross bars which are vertically spaced and include upper, lower and intermediately positioned cross bars, an intermediate of said cross bars being a railing cross bar which bounds the upper limit of the vertical extent of a railing zone of said function field, the opposite limit of which is defined by another of said cross bars and the lateral limits of which are defined by portions of said one pair of uprights, a cross stream blower within said railing zone, pipe-like means having in connection therewith a line for the delivery thereto and therethrough of hot or cold fluid, as needs require, said pipe-like means being downstream of said blower, in advance of and in adjacent relation to said railing cross bar, said pipe-like means orienting transverse to portions of said hollow uprights which laterally bound said railing zone and being connected to direct liquid received thereby through means defining a channel in connection with and generally lengthwise of said railing cross bar, means defining an inlet to said railing zone which is in direct communication with the environment of the room or room area bounded by said wall portion thereof, said cross stream blower, when energized, being operative to draw air from said room or room area through said inlet and direct it to and through said railing zone, means for directing said air from said blower in a controlled path to cause it to move over substantially the entire surface of said pipe-like means and into said railing cross bar in the process of which to inherently subject said air to the influence of said hot or cold fluid in said pipe-like means and said channel and means providing for discharge of said air from said railing cross bar, so conditioned, by way of openings from one or more of said hollow uprights and vertically spaced cross bars, directly back to said room area or room from which said air was originally drawn, thereby to provide a complete system for conditioning the environment thereof.
