IPC: F24F3/153
Filed: 1929-11-23
Abstract: 338,733. Hall & Kay, Ltd., Kay, P., and Hall, S. Nov. 23, 1929. Forced ventilation; air, heating, humidifying, and conditioning.-Apparatus for ventilating and controlling atmospheric conditions in rooms or other enclosures comprises means for conditioning, heating, and delivering air into the room or like at a number of points through suitable distributors in proximity to which are provided water sprayers, said sprayers and also the means for heating the air being automatically governed by a thermostat or humidostat in the enclosure. Air from the lower levels of the enclosure or from the outside atmosphere or a mixture of the two is drawn through a damper-controlled inlet 3 by a fan and passes through a filter 5 and a conditioning apparatus 6 comprising hot and cold water sprayers 7 and & respectively. The water for the hot spray passes through a heater 11 controlled by a thermostat 14 at the outlet of the conditioning apparatus 6. Before being delivered to the room by the distributors or diffusers 20 the conditioned air passes through a steam heated radiator 15 controlled by a valve 16 in the supply pipe 17 and governed by a double acting thermostat 18 in the room or enclosure. Near the distributors 20 are provided water sprayers 21 connected by a pipe 2,2 with the delivery of an air compressor which is also connected through a pipe 26 and a valve 28, also governed by the thermostat 18 with the upper portion of a pressure chamber 25 containing water supplied by a pump 30, a constant level being maintained by a ballcock 31. A water connection 29 from the sprayers to a chamber 25 is controlled by a valve 36 and depends below the water level in the chamber. The valve 36 is connected with the pipe 26 at a point between the valve 28 and the chamber 25 and is arranged to open when the pressure in the chamber reaches a predetermined level, thus operating the sprayers. A drain pipe 37 with valve 38 allows the supply pipe 29 to empty when the pressure, falls. If the temperature, of the enclosure falls below a predetermined level, the thermostat 18 operates to open the valve 16 controlling the radiator 15 and also to close the valve 28 supplying air; to the pressure chamber, the reduced pressure, operating valves 38 and 36 to cut off the water supply. Similarly, if the temperatura rises the heater is cut off, and the sprayers turned on. In a modification the valve 16 is governed by a single acting thermostat, and the valve 28 by a humidostat. In a further modification the air supply to the sprayers may also be controlled by the valve 28.
