Blower assembly for use in an air handling system and method for assembling the same
A blower assembly includes a housing including an inner shell and an outer shell that define a flow passage therebetween. The inner shell also at least partially defines a cavity. The blower assembly also includes a fan coupled within the housing such that the fan also at least partially defines the cavity. The blower assembly further includes a motor configured to rotate about an axis. The motor is coupled to the inner shell and is positioned within the cavity radially inward of the flow passage.
Bedding climate control apparatus with forced airflow for heating and ventilating
A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) and untempered (room temperature) air through a flexible hose to bedding. The quiet manner is attained with acoustic foam in the path of incoming airflow to the fan/blower and by oversizing each of the components that create a pressure drop including the capacity of the fan/blower over what is needed to deliver a required amount of airflow. Temperature may be set remotely via a wireless remote control and via a Bluetooth enabled device.
SPRINKLER TEST DEVICE AND METHOD
The invention relates to a sprinkler test device comprising: a chamber configured to fit around a sprinkler head mounted in a sprinkler system; a drain conduit for guiding extinguishing agent to a disposal or collection container; a temperature regulator for regulating the temperature in the chamber. The invention further relates to a method for testing a sprinkler system, comprising the following steps, to be executed in any suitable order; providing a sprinkler test device as described herein above; positioning the chamber of the sprinkler test device around a first sprinkler head of a sprinkler system to be tested; and regulating the temperature around the sprinkler head for testing purposes.
Unpowered auxiliary heat dissipation apparatus and device using the same
An exemplary heat dissipation apparatus includes a bracket, a reticular cover fixed to the bracket and a receiving space being defined with the bracket, and a tray received in the receiving space. The tray includes a first surface and a second surface. A number of first through holes is defined on the bracket. A number of second through holes is defined on the tray respectively corresponding to the first through holes, each of the second through holes extends obliquely from the first surface of the tray to the second surface of the tray relative to a vertical line of the first and second surfaces of the tray. A first magnet is installed on the first surface of the tray, a second magnet corresponding to the first magnet is installed on the bracket.
DEVICE AND COLLECTIVE HEATING INDIVIDUAL
Individual heater device (1) that generates a microclimate between the skin and the layer of clothing of a user such that the body is warmed and the clothing dried, which comprises an interior chamber (A), a generator unit (B) that produces warm air that comprises a motor (C) that actuates a turbine (D) that generates air, the flow of air from this turbine being directed towards an electrical resistance element (E), and it further comprises a casing (120) that contains said generator unit (B), an internal chamber (G) for distribution of the warm air coming from the generator unit (B) and it comprises a plurality of outlet ducts (130) for the warm air towards the exterior. Collective heater device (100) that comprises a gas-powered industrial heater (F), a motor (C) that actuates a turbine (D) that generates air, the flow of air from the turbine being directed towards a heat exchanger (E), wherein the collective heater device further comprises a casing (10′) that contains an internal chamber (20′) for distribution of the warm air coming from an industrial heater (F) and it comprises at least two assemblies (300) that comprise outlet ducts (30′) for the warm air towards the exterior.
Air conditioner unit and method for operating same
Air conditioner units and methods for operating air conditioner units are provided. A method includes determining an operational state of each heater bank of a plurality of heater banks of the air conditioner unit, and determining a speed of a blower fan of the air conditioner unit when the operational state of every heater bank is active. The method further includes comparing a blower fan input voltage to a voltage threshold value when the speed is a low speed, and deactivating one of the plurality of heater banks when the blower fan input voltage is less than the voltage threshold value.
FLOW CONTROL DEVICES FOR CONVECTOR HEATERS
Flow control devices for convector heaters are provided. Such devices may include a casing in the shape of a cylindrical tube having in a first portion thereof, facing in a mounted condition towards the intake conduit of a convector heater, a plurality of first openings and in a second portion thereof, facing in the mounted condition towards the opposite side of the intake conduit, a plurality of second openings, the casing being arranged to be mounted onto the ceiling (S) in such a manner that the first and second openings allow the inside of the casing to be placed into communication with a first space (A1) beneath the ceiling (S) and with a second space (A2) above the ceiling (S), respectively; a closure member in the shape of a cylindrical tube which is mounted within the casing and is axially slidable relative to the latter between a first position, in which it leaves the first openings open and closes the second openings, and a second position, in which it closes the first openings and leaves the second openings open; and actuation elements for controlling the axial sliding movement of the closure member relative to the casing between the first and second position.
Furnace, a method for operating a furnace and a furnace controller configured for the same
