[0087] As shown in
[0088] In
[0089] According to
[0090] Operation of the ventilation device is based on exact synchronization of the working phase with cycles of the working agent WA phase changes inside the pressure vessel PV. The working agent WA evaporation cycle results in cooling the air jet flowing through the heat exchanger 5, while the working agent WA condensation cycle results in heating the air jet flowing through the heat exchanger 5. The device operates in blowing and exhaust phases that occur alternately while following changes of the direction of the air jet flow through the heat exchanger 5 as a result of operation of the air pumping section 4 provided with the fan 41 built in the main reversible air jet deflector 42. The working phase changes occur as a result of rotational motion of the main air deflector 42 and they are coordinated with the changes of the working agent WA gas transition cycles, occurring as a result of switching the ways of the two-way valve 75. Duration of each of the working phases is the same wherein a moment of the gas transition cycle change is determined depending on indications of the temperature sensors 79 of the air flowing through the heat exchanger according to the algorithm implemented by electronic control system 45. The gas transition cycle change moment may precede the working phase change moment in order to bring the heat exchanger 5 temperature to the desired value in the next working phase. While cooling ventilated rooms during the summer season, during the exhaust of the cool spent air SA, the heat exchanger 5 heated in the working agent WA condensation cycle is cooled to the temperature that does not exceed the room temperature in the final exhaust phase. The purpose of shifting the moment of changing the gas transformation cycles in relation to the moment of changing the operating phases is to prevent a situation where the air of too high temperature would be blown into the cooled room. The heat exchanger 5 operates in two modes, active or passive, wherein cycles of the working agent WA evaporation and condensation occur alternately. In the active working mode, evaporation or condensation of the working agent WA occurs as a result of the pressure lowering or raising respectively inside the pressure vessel PV by means of the pressure control system 7, thanks to energy supplied from outside. The cycle of the working agent WA evaporation occurs when the two-way valve 75 is in suction position and the compressor 78 decreases pressure inside the pressure vessel PV while compressing the working agent WA in the closed high pressure buffer vessel 73. The cycle of the working agent WA condensation occurs when the two-way valve 75 is in pumping position and the compressor 78 increases pressure inside the pressure vessel PV while generating a partial vacuum in the closed low pressure buffer vessel 74. In the active working mode, the heat exchanger 5 with the pressure control system 7 is a heat pump of periodic operation that allows obtainment of the determined temperature of jets of spent air SA and fresh air FA. Particularly in the summer season, the heated spent air SA exhaust phase in the active mode ends when the heat exchanger 5 temperature is equal to the air temperature in the ventilated cooled room. Duration of the blowing phase and the exhaust phase is always the same and determined based on comparison of the fresh air FA temperature in the blowing phase with the present air temperature in the ventilated room. In the passive working mode, the cycles of the working agent WA evaporation or condensation in the constant volume of the pressure vessel PV occur, when the two-way valve 75 is closed, under the influence of the working agent WA temperature raising or lowering respectively as a result of the pressure vessel PV with the heat exchange system 5 being flown around by the spent air SA and the fresh air FA of different temperatures measured with the temperature sensors 79. A preliminary, preferable value of the working agent WA pressure is selected by means of the control system 45, while its stabilization on the advantageous level takes place using the two-way valve 75 that responds to indications of the pressure gauge 711. The passive working mode is used when temperatures of the air jets differ to a small extent and a preliminary working agent WA pressure ensures alternate evaporation and condensation of as great quantity of the working agent WA as possible during each of the device working phases. In the passive working mode, the device according to the invention is a momentary heat store. The heat of the working agent WA phase changes is used in its useful form to cool or heat the fresh blown air depending on the season.
[0091] During the heating season, in the passive working mode, in the phase of the spent air SA exhaust from the ventilated room, the heat exchanger 5 warms itself with the heat of the exhausted air SA while cooling it at the same time. However, in the blowing phase, the fresh air FA from outside warms itself in the previously heated heat exchanger 5 while cooling it at the same time. As a result, the blown air is insignificantly cooler than the air in the ventilated room. In the active working mode in the heating season, in the air blowing phase, the working agent WA pressure is increased inside the vessel PV by expenditure of external energy which leads to the condensation of this medium and the release of the heat of condensation. The heat exchanger 5 maintains its accumulating function in the active working mode longer and if the working agent WA is compressed enough, the blown air FA warms to the temperature exceeding the temperature of the ventilated room. Before the blowing phase is replaced by the exhaust phase, the heat exchanger 5 heated up in the active working mode is being cooled passively with the blown air FA until this air temperature equals the air temperature in the ventilated room. In turn, in the exhaust phase, the previously condensed working agent WA evaporates as a result of its pressure reduction induced by expenditure of external energy, while absorbing heat necessary for its evaporation from the ambience. The heat exchanger 5 cooled in this way cools the spent air SA. Before the exhaust phase is replaced by the blowing phase, the heat exchanger 5 is heated up passively with the exhausted spent air SA within the time established in the preceding blowing phase.
[0092] In the cooling season, in the passive working mode and in the exhaust phase of the spent air SA, the heat exchanger 5 that was heated up previously with the external air cools down under influence of the exhausted cool spent air SA while heating it up at the same time. In the blowing phase, the fresh air FA blown from the outside cools down in the previously cooled heat exchanger 5. Finally, the air in the ventilated room is insignificantly cooler than the blown air. In the cooling season, in the active working mode and in the blowing phase of the fresh air FA, the working agent WA pressure is lowered with expenditure of external energy which leads to the evaporation of this medium and the absorption of the heat of vaporization by the heat exchanger 5. The heat exchanger 5 cooled in this way cools the blown air down. Before the blowing phase is replaced by the exhaust phase, the heat exchanger 5 cooled down in the active working mode is heated up passively with the blown fresh air FA until the air temperature in the ventilated room equals the blown air temperature. In the exhaust phase, the previously evaporated working agent WA condensates as a result of pressure increase induced by expenditure of external energy, while giving up the heat of condensation to the ambience. The heat exchanger 5 heated up in this way heats the exhausted spent air SA. Before the exhaust phase is replaced by the blowing phase, the heat exchanger 5 is cooled down passively with the exhausted spent air SA within the time established in the preceding blowing phase.
[0093] Operation of the ventilation device with the heat accumulation module 11 consists in such a synchronization of the main air deflector 42 position with the secondary air deflector 43 position to allow, both in the exhaust and the blowing phases, the air flowing alternately through the shunt duct 112 and through the heat store 111, whereat
