Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for operating a ventilation system with a mixing chamber into which air is supplied via a first supply duct and via at least one further supply duct. Air is removed from the mixing chamber by a removal duct. The supply of air—volume control—into the mixing chamber from the supply ducts is controlled in each case via flaps with a plurality of flap leaves and/or a plurality of flap units each having a plurality of intercoupled flap leaves. According to the disclosure, the flap leaves and/or the flap units are activated individually, and an individual opening position of the respective flap leaves or of the flap units with the flap leaves is made possible.
Claims13
A method for operating a ventilation system comprising:
- supplying first air into a mixing chamber via a first supplying duct by controlling a first plurality of flaps having at least one of (i) a first plurality of flap leaves and (ii) a first plurality of flap units, each of the first plurality of flap units having a first plurality of intercoupled flap leaves, by individually activating at least one of the first plurality of flaps such that each of the first plurality of flaps has a respective individual opening position;
- supplying second air into the mixing chamber via a second supplying duct by controlling a second plurality of flaps having at least one of (i) a second plurality of flap leaves and (ii) a second plurality of flap units, each of the second plurality of flap units having a second plurality of intercoupled flap leaves, by individually activating at least one of the second plurality of flaps such that each of the second plurality of flaps has a respective individual opening position;
- mixing the first air with the second air using different flow resistances based on differences between at least one of (i) physical characteristic values of the first air and quality values of the first air and (ii) corresponding physical characteristic values of the second air and quality values of the second air, wherein:
- increasing the flow resistance includes orienting at least one of the first plurality of flaps and the second plurality of flaps such that the first air supplied from the first supplying duct and the second air supplied from the second supplying duct are guided in a direction toward each relative to a removing duct;
- and
- reducing the flow resistance includes orienting at least one of the first plurality of flaps and the second plurality of flaps such that the first air supplied from the first supplying duct and the second air supplied from the second supplying duct are guided in a direction toward the removing duct relative to each other;
- and
- removing the mixed first air and second air from the mixing chamber via a removing duct.

A method for operating a ventilation system comprising:
- supplying first air into a mixing chamber via a first supplying duct and supplying second air into the mixing chamber via a second supplying duct;
- removing the first and second air from the mixing chamber via a removing duct;
- controlling the supply of first air into the mixing chamber from the first supplying duct via at least one first flap having at least one of (i) at least one first flap leaf and (ii) at least one first flap unit, each first flap unit having a first plurality of interconnected flap leaves;
- controlling the supply of second air into the mixing chamber from the second supplying duct via at least one second flap having at least one of (i) at least one second flap leaf and (ii) at least one second flap unit, each second flap unit having a second plurality of interconnected flap leaves;
- and
- mixing the first air with the second air using different flow resistances based on differences between at least one of physical characteristic values of the first air and quality values of the first air and corresponding physical characteristic values of the second air and quality values of the second air, wherein:
- increasing the flow resistance includes orienting each flap such that the first air supplied from the first supplying duct and the second air supplied from the second supplying duct are guided in a direction toward each other relative to the removing duct;
- and
- decreasing the flow resistance includes orienting each flap such that the first air supplied from the first supplying duct and the second air supplied from the second supplying duct are guided in a direction toward the removing duct relative to each other.
