HUMIDIFIER SYSTEM

A system that provides effective and efficient introduction of water droplets into an air flow. The water droplets are sufficiently small so as to evaporate primarily before leaving the mixing enclosure where the droplets are injected by spray nozzles. Large droplets are kept to a minimum, thus reducing condensation and water accumulation to a very small amount. An amount of water usage is significantly less than that of a conventional evaporative humidifier of the same capacity. The present system may be placed in an enclosure that can readily replace other conventional evaporative humidifiers in enclosures. The present enclosure and system may be installed in lieu of a conventional enclosure and evaporative humidifier with minimal effort. The present enclosure has features that facilitate droplet to air mixing, viewing, humidification, and testing. In permissible situations, the present system may replace a conventional system but retain the conventional enclosure.

A system and related method are disclosed for controlling condensation in a space. The system includes a fan and one or more sensors for sensing environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity associated with the space and/or objects within the space. For instance, the sensors may sense a surface temperature of an object within the room. The system also includes a controller capable of receiving measurements from the sensor(s) and controlling the fan based on the sensed information. The system may additionally include a heater and/or a damper for transferring outside air into the space, either of which may be controlled by the controller based on the measurements.

Bathroom Ventilation System

A room ventilation system ventilates a structurally enclosable first room as exemplified by a restroom. A second room adjoins the first room with a shared wall therebetween. A fan assembly is mounted within the shared wall such that the airflow from the fan assembly is directed toward the first room. A vent cover in downstream adjacency to the fan assembly has first louvres for re-directing airflow from the fan assembly in a first oblique, downward direction. A vent cover in upstream adjacency to the fan assembly has second louvres for re-directing airflow from the second room in a second oblique, downward direction. Circuitry, in electrical communication with a power source and the fan motor assembly, includes a switch for enabling the user to selectively power the fan motor thereby directing airflow from the second room into the first room for replacing air within the first room.

AVOIDING COIL FREEZE IN HVAC SYSTEMS
20210088243 · 2021-03-25 ·

An HVAC system includes an evaporator. The evaporator includes a sensor configured to measure a property value (i.e., a saturated suction temperature or a saturated suction pressure) associated with saturated refrigerant flowing through the evaporator. The system includes a variable-speed compressor configured to receive the refrigerant and compress the received refrigerant. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and the variable-speed compressor. The controller monitors the property value measured by the sensor and detects a system fault, based on the monitored property value. In response to detecting the system fault, the controller operates the compressor in a freeze-prevention mode, which is configured to maintain the property value above a setpoint value by adjusting a speed of the variable-speed compressor. This prevents or delays freezing of the evaporator during operation of the system during the detected system fault.

DEFROSTING ROLL-UP CLIMATE CONTROLLED DOOR
20210054689 · 2021-02-25 ·

A roll-up door assembly includes a first curtain, a second curtain, and a side frame. The first curtain and the second curtain can transition between a lowered position and a raised position. The first curtain and the second curtain at least partially define an internal volume in the lowered position. The side frame includes an elongated body defining a hollow interior, a pair of curtain tracks, a heating assembly, and an inlet assembly. The pair of curtain tracks can guide the first curtain and the second curtain between the lowered position and the raised position. The heating assembly can circulate heated air into the internal volume. The inlet assembly can provide fluid commination between the heating assembly and a lower temperature conditioned space such that the heating assembly can circulate air from the lower temperature conditioned space into the internal volume.
