AIR EMISSION STACK, CONTROLLED EMISSION RELEASE

Many import and export regulations require fumigation of goods, such as products or commodities, to ensure that non-native pests are not introduced. The fumigating process can involve placing the goods in a sealed containment system, and introducing the sealed good to a fumigant, such as methyl bromide gas, for a predetermined amount of time. After fumigation, regulations may require how to dispense the fumigant. The fumigant can be exhausted through fans, baffles, dampers, filters, and a chimney, as part of an emission system, in a controlled manner. The controlled manner can include combining the fumigant with ambient air and releasing or exhausting the combination over an amount of time, which mitigates pollution by the fumigant. The time-period is not specific, and instead is the time needed to meet regulatory requirements.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING AIR PROPERTIES IN STRUCTURES AND INHIBITING MOISTURE ACCUMULATION AND MOLD PROPAGATION IN STRUCTURES
20220170650 · 2022-06-02 · ·

A structure comprises at least one outer wall having an internal wall section and an outer wall section with an air flow passage therebetween. A circulation system circulates air through the flow passage to inhibit moisture accumulation and mold growth. A sensing system determines the presence of moisture in the flow passage and generates a signal in response thereto. A controller receives the signal from the sensing system and controls the circulation system to maintain a predetermined temperature and relative humidity in the flow passage.

Vapor mitigation system, vapor mitigation controller and methods of controlling, monitoring and mitigating vapors

A vapor management system includes a monitoring service system configured to communicate one or more system parameters with at least one vapor mitigation system. The monitoring service system is further configured to generate a user interface. The user interface is configured to display and permit adjustment of the one or more system parameters.

SYSTEM FOR AIR CONDITIONING THE INTERIOR OF A BUILDING
20230266037 · 2023-08-24 · ·

In a system for air-conditioning interior spaces of a building which are connected via at least one exhaust air duct, one or more interior spaces are provided with an air-conditioning unit which has a inlet line of outdoor air, which supplies inlet air or circulating air to the interior space or spaces, and which is connected to a fluid circuit of a heat pump. The exhaust air duct and a further fluid circuit of the heat pump are connected to an energy store installed outside the building, wherein the energy store is connected to a heat exchanger in a liquid reservoir for energy transfer and for energy storage, which is connected via the heat exchanger to another fluid circuit of the heat pump, the exhaust air being directed into the liquid reservoir via a heat exchanger.

A capsule pod sleeping chamber with a ceiling and walls adjacent to the ceiling sealing an interior space to prevent a mixture of air between the interior space and a communal space exterior to the portable enclosure. The capsule pod sleeping chamber has first duct to route supply air into the interior space from a first area that is separated from the communal space and a second duct to route exhaust air out from the interior space to a second area separated from the communal space. Lastly, the capsule pod sleeping chamber has a plurality of apertures located in at least one wall of the plurality of walls that include the first aperture opening into the first duct and the second aperture opening into the second duct.

AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM

An air treatment system controls airflow volume in accordance with momentarily varying airflow volume to be demanded. A supply fan unit is disposed separately from an air treatment unit, and sends outdoor air from an outdoor space to the air treatment unit and sends outdoor air treated by the air treatment unit to an indoor space. An exhaust fan unit is disposed separately from the air treatment unit, and sends indoor air from the indoor space to the air treatment unit and sends indoor air treated by the air treatment unit to the outdoor space. A controller controls a rotation speed of a first fan in accordance with a first detection value of a first airflow volume detection unit, and controls a rotation speed of a second fan in accordance with a second detection value of a second airflow volume detection unit.

PRECURSOR SUPPLY CABINET
20220146051 · 2022-05-12 ·

A precursor supply cabinet for accommodating one or more precursor containers having cabinet walls defining an inner cabinet space. The precursor supply cabinet includes a ventilation discharge connection arranged to discharge ventilation gas from the inner cabinet space, one or more ventilation inlet connections, two or more separate gas tight precursor supply chambers for accommodating precursor containers. The gas tight precursor supply chambers are arranged inside the inner cabinet space of the precursor supply cabinet such that the inner cabinet space of the precursor supply cabinet surrounding the separate gas tight precursor supply chambers is ventilated.

Nozzle assembly for exhaust fan unit of HVAC system

A nozzle assembly for a fan unit includes an inner nozzle having a tapered outer diameter and a flow path radially inward from the tapered outer diameter with respect to a longitudinal axis of the nozzle assembly. The flow path is configured to guide a fluid flow and to expel the fluid flow through an inner outlet of the inner nozzle to a surrounding environment. The nozzle assembly also includes an outer nozzle disposed radially outward from the inner nozzle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The outer nozzle and the tapered outer diameter of the inner nozzle define an annular flow path therebetween. The annular flow path is configured to guide the fluid flow and to expel the fluid flow to the surrounding environment through an outer outlet of the outer nozzle. A cross-sectional area of the outer outlet is adjustable via movement of the inner nozzle, the outer nozzle, or both along the longitudinal axis of the nozzle assembly.

Negative Pressure Ventilation System
20220128250 · 2022-04-28 ·

The purpose is to remove viruses and other airborne germs from public and private buildings, rooms, dwellings, and enclosures by lowering the air pressure of the entire building and directing contaminated air out of the building. By installing a negative pressure vent system, at strategic locations, this contaminated air will keep moving until captured and removed by the ductwork from rooms. This strategic location is found using smoke or laser lights. By installing fresh air ducts at strategic locations air flow speed and direction may be controlled thereby keeping contaminated air away from non-contaminated persons.
