A ventilation system for ventilating a room, comprising: a lowered ceiling, defining a ceiling space between the lowered ceiling and a ceiling of the room and having an air permeable ceiling surface area; a raised flooring, supported by a support frame and defining a floor space between the raised flooring and a floor of the room, the raised flooring being air permeable over a floor surface area opposite to the air permeable ceiling surface area; an air supply inlet connected to the floor space; and an air outlet, connected to the ceiling space, wherein the air permeability of the raised flooring varies in dependence on distance from the air supply inlet for forming a substantial vertical air flow in which air entering the room through the floor surface area displaces air in the room in the vertical direction and forces air out through the ceiling surface area.

A grate access floor panel comprising a support frame and a plurality of vanes supported by the frame, each of the plurality of vanes having an upstream end and a downstream end with respect to a direction of airflow across the plurality of vanes and faces that extend between the upstream and downstream ends, wherein at least some of the vanes have openings that extend through the faces thereof and have angled tips.

The present invention provides an intelligent air shield formation device, having a plurality of nozzles are configured to discharge purified air towards ground, detecting a body region of the detected person, generating region information, controlling the plurality of nozzles corresponding to the region information, generating movement information based on a speed of movement of the body region, controlling the shape of the region information to be deformed based on the movement information.

A vortex ring generation device includes a casing and an extrusion mechanism. The casing has a gas passage and a discharge port. The extrusion mechanism extrudes gas in the gas passage such that the gas in a vortex ring shape is discharged from the discharge port. V (m.sup.3) represents an extrusion volume, D (m) represents a diameter of the discharge port, L (m) represents a length of a cylinder having the diameter D and the volume V, and U (m/s) represents a discharge flow rate 0.045≤D≤0.135, 0.15≤L≤0.35, and 3≤U≤5.

An arrangement for ventilating a room contains a supply air duct arranged above an aisle region for delivering air into a room and, arranged above the supply air duct, an exhaust air duct for discharging exhaust air. The supply air duct contains two lateral air delivery portions which extend along the aisle region and each contain air outlet openings from which the supply air exits laterally. A substantially airtight central separating portion separates the first and the second air delivery portions from one another. The exhaust air duct contains two slot-like suction openings which extend substantially parallel to the supply air duct and are arranged in the ceiling such that there is formed on both sides of the aisle region a rolling air flow via which supply air heated in the region of work tables passes in a vertical direction into the region of the ceiling.

A pressure equalization device for installation on or at an entry of an attic of a home or other building is described. The pressure equalization device can be an access panel of an attic access hatch. The access panel is a solid, generally flat panel of material such as wood or plastic. The access panel includes an aperture that passes therethrough. The aperture is covered with an air-permeable cover made from a material such as cloth or plastic mesh. The mesh is constructed to allow air to pass through the aperture between the attic and interior of the building for purposes of equalizing pressure between them. Pores of the mesh are sized so that insects, rodents, and other animals and dust and debris cannot pass through and into the interior of the building.
