Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method implemented in the system for controlling air discharge.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the present disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and therefore, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system(s) are critical for maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The HVAC systems regulate temperature, humidity, and air quality, ensuring that indoor spaces remain conducive to human occupation and use.

Traditional HVAC systems typically involve a combination of components such as air handlers, ductwork, vents, and thermostats to manage and distribute conditioned air throughout a building. While these HVAC systems are effective, they often face challenges related to the efficient and uniform distribution of air. Common issues include temperature inconsistencies, varying air pressure, and uneven air flow, which can result in discomfort for occupants and increased energy consumption.

In recent years, advancements in HVAC technology have aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of air distribution. One approach involves the use of linear profile system equipped with integrated air distribution mechanisms. These profiles are designed to seamlessly integrate with the architecture of a building, providing an aesthetically pleasing solution while enhancing the performance of the HVAC system.

Further, in a few of the existing solutions, ducts carry conditioned air, while openings or registers deliver concentrated air with high flow to multiple locations or zones. Zoning is managed by opening and closing dampers or registers at a delivery point or at an intersection of a diversion. Such zone setup occupies a significant amount of ceiling space, causes substantial temperature loss due to metal ducts, and may result in high-velocity air flow that creates hot and cold spots, which may cause discomfort to the occupants.
Alternatively, localized split units are used, but they suffer from similar issues, including the inability to achieve central control and the problems previously mentioned. Further, the existing solutions which attempt to improve air distribution are complex to install and adjust and may still struggle to achieve optimal air distribution across large or complex spaces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.

In conventional solutions, ducts carry conditioned air, while openings or registers deliver concentrated air with high flow to multiple locations or zones. Zoning is managed by opening and closing pre discharge manifold or registers at a delivery point or at an intersection of a diversion. Such zone setup occupies a significant amount of ceiling space, causes substantial temperature loss due to metal ducts, and may result in high-velocity air flow that creates hot and cold spots, which may cause discomfort to the occupants. Alternatively, localized split units can be used, but they suffer from similar issues, including the inability to achieve central control and the problems previously mentioned.

However, even with these advancements, there remains a need for more refined control over the distribution of conditioned air. Specifically, there is a demand for systems that can precisely direct air into predefined zones within a space, ensuring that each area receives the optimal amount of conditioned air based on specific parameters such as occupancy, usage patterns, and environmental conditions.

The present invention addresses these needs by introducing a system comprising a linear profile system with a plurality of linear profiles and an air discharge unit, designed to deliver conditioned air efficiently and uniformly into predefined zones. The inclusion of an intermediary pre-discharge manifold between the air discharge unit and the linear profiles ensure controlled intermediary pre-discharge of air, thereby enhancing the overall distribution and performance of the system.

The present invention not only improves air distribution but also allows for greater customization and control of the system, leading to enhanced comfort, better energy efficiency, and improved indoor air quality.
In an embodiment, FIG. 1 discloses an example schematic diagram showing system 100. In an example, the system 100 can be a Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The system 100 comprises of a linear profile system 102 adapted to be mounted in a predefined area. In an example, the predefined area may comprise and not limited to one of a ceiling area or a wall area or an independent post used in vertical arrangement or horizontal arrangement. The linear profile system 102 comprises a plurality of linear profiles 104 comprising openings (not shown in FIGs.) for receiving conditioned air and arranged to circulate the conditioned air into one or more predefined zones 118. In an example, the plurality of linear profiles 104 may comprise and not limited to wood bases, glass based, polymer-based or metal based, or ceramic based, or composites bases, or cloth based linear profiles and preferably Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and/or Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, UPVC linear profiles or any other polymer group or any other material as per the user requirement. In an example, the UPVC linear profiles are preferable as thermal conductivity of the UPVC linear profiles prevents condensation in ducts.
In an embodiment, a first set of linear profiles from the plurality of linear profiles 104 are arranged for circulation of cold air to bottom and a second set of linear profiles from the plurality of linear profiles 104 are arranged for receiving hot air at top, leading to lower velocity or lower pressure or combination of both the lower velocity and lower pressure of the discharged air to provide uniform cooling in the one or more predefined zones 118. In other words, the plurality of linear profiles direct cold air downward due to the weight of air while drawing hot air from the top, resulting in near to zero velocity for uniform cooling and enhanced thermal comfort. Thus, using the plurality of linear profiles makes the system 100 a uniform atmospheric zero velocity cooling system. Further, the plurality of linear profiles offers lower thermal loss and heat transmission compared to existing metal ducts due to the pre-discharge air distribution intermediary pre discharge manifold being arranged much before the end outlet. In an example, the plurality of linear profiles 104 can also be placed along side walls, allowing cold air to be distributed from the sides while hot air is absorbed from the top, facilitating efficient heat transfer throughout the space.
The system 100 further comprises an air discharge unit 106. The air discharge unit 106 is arranged to discharge the conditioned air into the one or more predefined zones 118a, 118b…118n (shown later in Figure 2B) (combinedly may referred to as 118). In an example, there can be plurality of air discharge unit 106 arranged in the system 100.
The system 100 further comprises at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108. In an example, there can be plurality of intermediary pre discharge manifold s 108 arranged in the system 100. The at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 is arranged for each zone of the one or more predefined zones 118 to control flow of the conditioned air from the air discharge unit 106. The at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 is arranged in between the air discharge unit 106 and the plurality of linear profiles 104. The plurality of linear profiles 104 enables a uniform distribution of the conditioned air. The intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 is arranged to control the pre-discharge of the conditioned air through the plurality of linear profiles 104 in the one or more predefined zones according to one or more parameters.
Further, the air discharge unit 106 has a plurality of openings to facilitate connectivity between the air discharge unit 106 and the at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108. The air discharge unit 106 may comprise at least an inlet for carrying conditioned air to be discharged through the plurality of linear profiles 104 and at least one outlet for collecting return air from the plurality of linear profiles 104. In an example, the at least one outlet may have one or more temperature sensors to sense temperature data of the collected hot air and wherein the temperature data is communicated with the at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108. In an example, the air discharge unit 106 may have one or more AC ducts.
The system 100 further comprises at least one processing circuitry (not shown in FIGs). The at least one processing circuitry can be implemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing units, state machines, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that manipulate signals based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, the at least one processing circuitry are configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory (not shown in FIG.s). The memory may include any computer-readable medium known in the art including, for example, volatile memory, such as static random-access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and/or non-volatile memory, such as read only memory (ROM), erasable programmable ROM, flash memories, hard disks, optical disks, and magnetic tapes.
In an embodiment, the at least one processing circuitry is arranged in the one or more predefined zones 118. The at least one processing circuitry is configured to receive feedback data from a plurality of sources. In an example, the plurality of sources comprises at least one of: a sensor, a temperature sensor, presence sensor, air quality sensor, humidity sensor, a camera, thermal camera, a scan code or a QR code for connecting to a user interface, a thermostat, a motion sensor, a user interface. The plurality of sources is equipped in the one or more predefined zone. In an example, a user also may provide feedback through a remote-control device. The at least one processing circuitry is further configured to communicate one or more control actions to the intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 according to the feedback data. The one or more control actions are executed by the at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 to adjust the discharge of the conditioned air through the plurality of linear profiles 104 in the one or more predefined zones 118. The plurality of linear profiles 104 enables a uniform distribution of the conditioned air. The at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 control the flow during the pre-discharge of the conditioned air through the plurality of linear profiles 104 from a duct in the one or more predefined zones 118 according to one or more parameters.

In an example, the one or more control actions may comprise and not limited to position adjustment for the pre discharge manifold 108, fan speed control, etc. For example, the processing circuitry may communicate the one or more control actions to adjust position of the pre discharge manifold 108 in the system 100 based on the feedback. This controls airflow volume of the conditioned air to specific zones from the one or more predefined zones 118. For example, if the processing circuitry received the feedback from the sensors that a particular zone from the one or more predefined zones 118 is too hot or warm, the processing circuitry may communicate to the at least one intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 to increase the opening of the pre discharge manifold 108 to that zone, allowing more cool air to flow.
In an embodiment, the linear profile system 102 may be modular (assembled / disassembled) as per the space requirement in the predefined area and thus not site specific. Further, the linear profile system 102 can be made with custom perforation or slots (continuous perforations) as per the space requirements. Furthermore, the linear profile system 102 can be custom-engineered with perforations or continuous slots tailored to the specific heating and cooling requirements of the predefined area.

The plurality of linear profiles 104 may be engineered with perforations or slots that may reduce velocity and pressure of air. In other words, the perforations or slots on the plurality of linear profiles 104 may facilitate spreading of the air, by virtue thereof, the velocity and the pressure of the air is reduced.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the slots may facilitate the ejection of the cold air (or conditioned air) and may receive the hot air. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a first set of slots may facilitate the ejection of the cold air and a second set of slots may receive the hot air. The first set of slots may be disposed on a first location of the plurality of linear profiles and the second set of slots may be disposed on a second location of the plurality of linear profiles.

In an embodiment, the system 100 further comprises an upper assembly part (not shown in FIGs.). The upper assembly part may be arranged for integration of acoustics, lighting, carrying cables, and anchor points for suspending signage.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system 100 further comprises a return duct 114. The return duct 114 may be arranged on top of an inlet duct or in a bent position to left of the inlet duct or to a bent position to right of the inlet duct or may arrange in a different floor. As shown in FIG. 1, in an example, the return duct 114 may be arranged on top of an inlet duct 112.
In an example, the linear profiles 104 used in the system 100 have following advantages.
- Highly distributed flow leading to lower velocity aiding uniform cooling.
- Lower thermal transmission compared to existing metals ducts
- Ability to cool zone wise by integrating sensors and pre discharge manifold.
The linear profiles 104 result in blowing cold air to bottom and automatically receiving hot air at top leading to lower velocity (close to zero) aiding uniform cooling and higher thermal comfort.
In an embodiment, the linear profile system 102 is of a specific proprietary composition and not prone to attract molds, absorb moisture, and not susceptible to any decay or warping or scaling or flaking or oxidation unlike metal which is prone to oxidation. The linear profiles 104 may also be made from anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-viral composition which may aid inhibition of growth of microorganisms in the air discharge unit 106 which aid for purer air.
Referring to FIG. 2A, the system 100 may comprise a plurality of profiles 116. The plurality of profiles 116 are arranged in the intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 to attach the intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 with the plurality of linear profiles 104. In an example, the profiles 116 may comprise aluminum profiles or UPVC profiles or any metals /any other polymer group or as per the user requirement.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the system 100 comprises the return duct 114. The return duct 114 may also have one inlet and one outlet for carrying the conditioned air and the return air respectively. In an example, an outlet of the air conditioning comes through a plenum box 110 (as shown in FIG. 1) and goes to the inlet duct 112. From the inlet duct 112, there are separate intermediary pre discharge manifolds 108 arranged for each of the predefined zone 118. The intermediary pre discharge manifold 108 opens and closes and discharges the conditioned air through the plurality of linear profiles 104 in the one or more predefined zones 118 based on the one or more parameters.
FIG. 3A shows an exemplary top view of the system 100. FIG. 3B shows an exemplary view of the system 100 installed in a roof area. The air discharge unit of the linear profile system 102 is connected to an AC outdoor unit 302 as shown in FIG. 3B.

The system 100 may further comprise a duct system designed to facilitate easy transport which may be pre-insulated for lower thermal loss.
The proposed system 100 is a retrofit on an existing HVAC system.
The present invention helps to achieve uniform cooling in an area without cold and hot spots by eliminating high velocity flow present in current systems. Further, the system 100 helps to save energy by zonal cooling in a particular area or predefined zone rather than cooling the entire area or room by use of presence sensing and flow through the UPVC linear profiles. Further, lower thermal conductivity of the linear profiles 104 aids lower thermal loss. The proposed system 100 is cost effective and easy to install.
In an embodiment, the system 100 may use image processing to determine whether to circulate conditioned air in the different predefined zones of the predefined area, based on detection of specific individuals/occupants. Further, a climate control system (not shown in FIGs.) may detect an individual's activity and gestures to determine appropriate temperature adjustment for the environment.
