METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT HAVING A COIL WITH AN ACTIVE PORTION AND AN INACTIVE PORTION
20220113039 · 2022-04-14 ·

An air-conditioning unit is provided, comprising: an input vent for receiving return air; an intermediate vent; an output vent; a blower fan proximate to the input vent for moving the return air from the input vent to the intermediate vent; and an air-conditioner coil between the intermediate vent and the output vent including an active portion including one or more operational air-conditioning coils that receive a first portion of the return air from the intermediate vent, for circulating a coolant, condition the first portion of the return air by heat exchange with the coolant to create conditioned air, and pass the conditioned air to the output vent, and an inactive portion that does not circulate coolant and passes a second portion of the return air as unconditioned air to the output vent, wherein the conditioned air and the unconditioned air pass through the output vent as supply air.

CLEAN NEGATIVE PRESSURE HOSPITAL ROOM SYSTEM USING COMPRESSOR AND TURBINE

The present disclosure sucks air in hospital room using a compressor to maintain an inner portion of the hospital room in a negative pressure state, and creates a high-temperature and humid environment by a water spray, the compressor, and a sterilization chamber to kill bacteria or viruses. In addition, the compressor uses power generated by a turbine, and is configured so that heat of air coming out of the compressor is recovered to a suction side of the compressor, such that efficiency of a system may be secured. Further, some of clean air generated while passing through the sterilization chamber may be directly supplied again to the hospital room through a bypass means.

A refrigerant leak management system includes a return inlet assembly and a purge exhaust outlet assembly. The system also includes a sensor configured to detect refrigerant proximate an air handling enclosure of a HVAC unit. The system further includes a controller configured to control the system to drive air from a conditioned interior space of a building into an external environment via the purge exhaust outlet assembly when the sensor detects the refrigerant proximate the air handling enclosure by: actuating the return inlet assembly to close the return inlet assembly, actuating the purge exhaust outlet assembly to open the purge exhaust outlet assembly, and activating a reversible supply fan of the HVAC unit in a reverse direction.
