Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates to a ventilation device with reversible direction of air flow inside a through compartment with a reversible air driver and a radial fan with constant rotation direction, as well as a system of duct-free, reverse ventilation of buildings, where said ventilation is used.

BACKGROUND

Polish patent application P. 418279 discloses a ventilation device reversing the air flow direction inside a through compartment, inside which a uniform, reversible air driver provided with its own drive is installed on a bearing. The air driver is made of a hollow suction-inlet body and a hollow pumping-outlet body placed around the same rotation axis. Each body of the driver is provided with a side outlet and a through frontal opening, wherein the side outlets of both bodies are oriented in opposite directions, and axes of openings in both bodies are aligned with their mutual rotation axis. A radial fan with constant direction of rotation is located in the pumping-outlet body of the driver. Two ribs are formed on circumferential edges of the bodies, tightly fitted to the internal, circumferential frame of walls of the through compartment at their extreme ends, dividing the compartment in the transverse direction. The rotor of the fan is driven with a motor installed directly on a stationary core, which is also used as a bearing for the driver. The through compartment of this known ventilation device is not intended for placement of additional air treating devices inside, in particular, for placement of fresh air filters, as such elements would be exposed to undesirable effects of used outlet air.

A system of duct-free, reverse ventilation of buildings where people are present is also known, and provided with ventilation and heat recovery devices. Ventilation devices used in this system have the form of reversible radial fan, located in individual premises of the building. Each of the fans is placed inside an opening provided in the external wall of the building, wherein such openings also include fresh air filters and regenerative heat exchangers. This known ventilation system requires use of at least two axial fans operating in opposite phases. A disadvantage of this solution lies in the relatively small power of axial fans, resulting in their low efficiency and poor compression, as well as low efficiency caused by high energy consumptions caused by the fan motor start-up taking place every several seconds.

The air then bypasses the pumping body 10 of the driver 6 and flows through the suction area 28 of the middle part B of compartment 1 and through the suction-inlet body 9 located therein, then is drawn by the fan 13 and flows through the opening 25 of the driver 6 to the pumping area 30 of the middle part B of compartment 1 under the rotary flange 24 and under the partitioning element 17, passing through the initial part A of the compartment 1. The air then flows through the pumping duct 19 of the initial part A of the compartment 1 and the muffler 22 located therein and leaves the compartment 1 through its terminal opening 2, and outside the building D through the opening 4 in the internal wall 5. The inlet and outlet phases are similar in a two compartment ventilation device according to FIGS. 8 and 9. During the inlet phase, air flowing from the middle part B of the first compartment 1 flows through the intermediate duct 39 and the heat exchanger located there in 21, and flows to the second compartment 1a, above the partitioning element 17 in the middle part B, and is then pumped by the fan 13 and flows through the pumping duct 19 of the compartment 1a and the sound muffler 22 located therein, eventually leaving the compartment 1a through its opening 2 and into the building D. Analogously, during the outlet phase, air flowing from the middle part B of the second compartment 1a flows through the intermediate duct 39 in the opposite direction, and then through the compartment 1 and its pumping duct 19 with a sound muffler 22 inside it, eventually leaving this compartment through the terminal opening 2, and outside the building D through the opening 4 in the building wall 5.

In the case of the ventilation system according to FIG. 17, fresh air is provided during the inlet phase from outside the building D to the ventilation device W, located inside the main premise R, and subsequently, operation of the fan 13 pushes the air out from the device W into the premise, and with a positive pressure of several Pascals flows to neighbouring premises R1 and R2, removing used air from there through ventilating fans P located in openings 4 in walls 5 of the building (D). After several seconds, the driver 6 is reversed inside the ventilation device W, the 13 fan ow which draws and removes used air from the building D, whilst fresh air is simultaneously drawn into the building through the ventilating fans P. Again, after several seconds, the air driver 6 is reversed again and the ventilation device W again pumps fresh air into the building D. Thus, cyclical changes of air inlet and outlet phases according to the solution take place inside the ventilation system of this building D. The fan 54 of the toilet room T, intended for periodic operation intended to remove used air from the room, is started in the known mode for a period between 3 and 10 minutes as controlled by a signal sent by a lighting switch and/or motion sensor and/or humidity sensor (not shown). When the fan 54 is switched off, its tight blind 55 is closed. The flap 53 closing the opening 52 in the wall 51 of the toilet room T opens automatically under negative pressure inside the toilet room T. Its fan 54 is equipped with a signalling module (not shown) for the purpose, cooperating with the radial fan 13 of the ventilation device W. Signals generated by the fan 54 when the toilet room T is used causes the rotation speed of the radial fan 13 to decrease such that negative pressure generated inside the toilet room T is greater than the negative pressure outside the toilet room. In the ventilation system according to FIG. 18, ventilating fans P have been replaced with local ventilation devices W1 and W2 with the same design as the main device W. As a result of electric coupling of their drives, air drivers 6 of the main ventilation device W and of the local devices W1, W2 are oriented in opposite directions during air inlet and outlet phases. Thanks to this solution, used air is removed from the building D by fans 13 of the local ventilation devices W1 and W2, while during the outlet phase, fresh air is pumped into the building D using fans 13, through reversed fans 6 of the local devices W1, W2.
