Radiant heating systems are provided for warming an occupant of an enclosed space. The system includes a component with a surface configured to face the occupant. The surface defines an A-surface quality meaning the surface is visible and is designed with styling objectives to have an aesthetic appearance. Conductive strands are exposed at the surface and a power supply is configured to supply electric power to the conductive strands. A controller is configured to control the electric power supplied to the conductive strands.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a user interface configured to display a zone management screen having a first selectable representation of a first zone of the HVAC system including a first temperature set point and a first operating mode of the first zone, and a second selectable representation of a second zone of the HVAC system having a second temperature set point and a second operating mode of the second zone. The control system further includes a controller configured to receive a first input via the zone management screen to adjust the first temperature set point or to adjust the second temperature set point, and receive a second input via the zone management screen to adjust the first operating mode or to adjust the second operating mode.

Heated cabinets suitable for storing temperature-sensitive products, systems including the same, and methods of using such systems. Such a cabinet includes walls that define a cavity therebetween, a door adapted to selectively enclose the cavity and provide access to the cavity, at least one heating element embedded within one or more of the walls or mounted to interior surfaces of one or more of the walls, and a source of electrical power for the heating element.

The invention provides a personal micro-climate system that reduces the energy requirement to keep a person cool by providing a personal air-conditioned space specially for bed-ridden patients. A dome is provided to create a personal space that just cools the area where the patient is at avoiding wasting energy in cooling the room's floor, ceiling, walls and empty space. The cooling system can be energized through solar power, deep cycle battery packs, small power plant or through a combination thereof. The system allows for the movement of an automatic or semi-automatic bed. A transparent cover is stretched over a frame structure to allow for maximum visibility from the inside out and vice versa. The system allows ease of opening an attendant window for patient care or to help a bedridden patient in an emergency. Breathing tubes, feeding tubes, IV lines, sensors and cables can be fed into the dome through openings between a mattress cover and the micro-climate dome. The personal microclimate system serves as a positive or negative personal isolation chamber provided with high-efficiency particulate air filters and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems. An anteroom can be added next to the micro-climate dome and/or a secondary larger structure may be added to enclose the micro-climate dome.

An air purifying apparatus for purifying air in an isolation space is disclosed. The isolation space is surrounded by a mask body and bounded from an outer space by the mask body. The air purifying apparatus includes a main casing, an intake device and a decontamination device. The main casing is formed with an accommodating space, an inner exhausting runner and an inner intake runner. The inner exhausting runner is communicated with the isolation space and the accommodating space. The inner intake runner is communicated with isolation space and the accommodating space. The intake device and the decontamination device are disposed in the accommodating space. The decontamination device is for purifying and decontaminating air in the accommodating space.

A furniture apparatus includes an integrated holder for supporting and securing an air filter system adjacent the furniture apparatus to filter air exhaled between persons at or near the furniture apparatus.

An evaporative air cooler is described. The evaporative air cooler comprises a housing, a tank, a filter structure, and a fan. The housing comprises a top panel, wherein the housing defines an interior of the evaporative air cooler. The tank is positioned at least partially adjacent the top panel, wherein the tank is configured to receive, store, and release liquid. The filter structure comprises a filter, wherein the filter is configured to absorb the liquid. The fan is configured to draw air into the interior and direct the air through the filter structure and out of the interior.

A compact cartridge fan system for use in an articulating bed structure having a stationary horizontal support panel includes a frame adapted to be engaged in a receiving aperture in the stationary horizontal support panel. A cartridge is removably received in a receiving aperture in the frame. The cartridge has a case containing a box fan and a connector attachment. A connector is engaged in the connector attachment and adapted to be received through a mattress base supported on the stationary support panel.

Tables for mitigating infectious disease spread are disclosed having at least two seating areas that are configured to minimize the transfer of aerosolized droplets among the seating areas. Between each seating area are a series of impermeable barriersat least one hanging impermeable barrier that projects downwards towards a top surface of a table and at least one rising impermeable barrier that projects upwards away from a top surface of a table. The impermeable barriers are disposed to overlap one another along a line of sight between seating areas such that a bottom edge of the hanging impermeable barrier is at a height above the top edge of the rising impermeable barrier. Vacuum mechanisms can be positioned above the hanging impermeable barriers and below the rising impermeable barriers to create airstreams along the impermeable barriers that guide airborne particulate matter blocked by an impermeable barrier into a vacuum mechanism.

The present application discloses a control method and device of an air conditioning system, for solving the problem of ineffectively controlling the air supply amount of the air conditioning system in the related art. The disclosed control method includes performing at least one of: acquiring a current discharge air temperature of an air conditioning system and a current operating frequency of a fan, and controlling a compressor of the air conditioning system to adjust an operating frequency of the compressor according to the discharge air temperature and the current operating frequency of the fan; or acquiring a current return air temperature of the air conditioning system and a current operating frequency of the compressor, and adjusting an operating frequency of the fan according to the return air temperature and the current operating frequency of the compressor.
