BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a ventilation system as defined in the preamble
of claim 1 and to a method for controlling the same, in which air volume and external
static pressure can be increased as defined in the preamble of claim 14.
Discussion of the Related Art
[0002] Due to persons' breathes and the like, air in the closed room is gradually polluted
with the lapse of time. A ventilation system is used to replace polluted indoor air
with fresh outdoor air.
[0003] A general ventilation system includes an air supply fan for supplying an outdoor
air into a room, an air supply duct for guiding an outdoor air into the room, an air
exhaust fan for exhausting an indoor air out of the room, and an air exhaust duct
for guiding the indoor air out of the room.
[0004] In order to supply air into the room through the duct, the ventilation system must
have required air volume and external static pressure. For example, when air is supplied
through a circular duct in an about 231-m
2 indoor space by ventilation of 350 CMH, an external static pressure of about 300
Pa is required. At this point, airflow resistance of a duct is an important factor
in determining the required air volume and external static pressure. As the indoor
space is wide, a length of the duct becomes longer. As the number of partitioned spaces
is increasing, the branches of the duct increase. Consequently, the airflow resistance
increases and the required air volume and external static pressure increases. However,
it is difficult to increase a capacity of the ventilation system so large as to form
sufficient air volume and external static pressure. Thus, the ventilation is not performed
smoothly.
[0005] Also, the general ventilation system is installed in a ceiling. However, since the
ventilation system is designed considering spatial efficiency and economic efficiency,
there is a limit in a distance between a bottom of a lower floor and a bottom of an
upper floor. Thus, it is difficult to secure sufficient space for installing the ventilation
system. Accordingly, in order to solve the problem, the ventilation system needs to
be designed to be small-sized.
[0006] US 5,236,393 A discloses a ventilation system comprising a heating, ventilation and air conditioning
unit providing a primary fan which forces air into a primary duct. The primary duct
opens into a plenum in which a second fan is installed. The plenum is exposed to the
cooling air flowing through the primary duct and outside air from the room around
the plenum. The second fan transports mixed air from the cooling air and the outside
air into a secondary duct from which the air stream is discharged through ventilation
outlets.
[0007] US 3,955,205 A discloses an air-conditioning system having a central utility means which supplies
a certain amount of cold air through a ducting system into different rooms. In each
room the respective duct from the ducting system is connected to a distribution unit
which also comprises a fan. The air is discharged from the distribution unit through
distribution ducts into the room.
[0008] US 5,976,010 discloses a heating, ventilation an air conditioning system in which fresh air coming
from a primary air duct is mixed with ambient air in the respective room. The mixed
air is discharged again into the room by a fan through outlet openings.
[0009] US 5,119,987 A discloses a ventilation system for a room. The ventilation system comprises a two-pass
pipe between the outdoors and a ventilating apparatus provided within the room. The
ventilating apparatus draws fresh air from the outside through a duct system into
the room by a first fan. A second fan provided also in the ventilating apparatus discharges
exhaust air from the room through a second path of the two-pass pipe to the outside.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a ventilation system and a pressure
intensifying apparatus that substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations
and disadvantages of the related art.
[0011] An object of the present invention is to provide a ventilation system, a pressure
intensifying apparatus, and a method for controlling the same, in which external static
pressure is formed so high that a wide indoor space can be ventilated.
[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized ventilation system
and a pressure intensifying apparatus, which can be installed in a narrow space.
[0013] Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0034] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present
invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever
possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer
to the same or like parts.
[0035] FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a ventilation system according to an embodiment of
the present invention.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, the ventilation system includes a duct 100 spatially branched
into at least two indoor spaces, a ventilator 200 connected to the duct 100 to selectively
or simultaneously exchange indoor air with outdoor air through the duct 100, and a
pressure intensifying apparatus 300 having a fan (320 in FIG. 2) for increasing a
static pressure of air supplied/exhausted through the duct 100.
[0037] The duct 100 is branched such that the indoor air is exchanged with outdoor air in
the partitioned indoor spaces. The duct 100 includes an air supply duct 110 for supplying
the outdoor air into the indoor spaces, and an air exhaust duct 120 for exhausting
the indoor air to an exterior. The ventilation system installed in a wide indoor space
is exemplarily shown in FIG. 1. The air supply duct 110 is indicated by a solid line
and the exhaust duct 120 is indicated by a dotted line. An air supply diffuser and
an air exhaust diffuser are connected to indoor end portions of the air supply duct
110 and the air exhaust duct 120, respectively. In FIG. 1, the diffusers are indicated
by circles. Meanwhile, the duct may be configured with only one of the air supply
duct and the air exhaust duct.
[0038] Also, the ducts 110 and 120 can be circular or polygonal. Because the pressure intensifying
apparatus 300 increases a static pressure in the duct 100, the polygonal duct having
a relatively large airflow resistance can be used. It is apparent that the circular
duct is advantageous to reduce airflow resistance. Such a duct is buried in a ceiling.
[0039] The ventilator 200 includes a total heat exchanger (not shown) for exchanging heat
between the indoor air and the outdoor air, and a blower fan (not shown) for blowing
the indoor air and the outdoor air. The total heat exchanger may not be installed
in the ventilator 200. Also, it is preferable to install a filter (not shown) that
filters out foreign particles contained in the supplied outdoor air.
[0040] In addition, it is preferable to install the pressure intensifying apparatus 300
in the air supply duct 110 and the air exhaust duct. It is apparent that the pressure
intensifying apparatus 300 can be installed in only one of the air supply duct and
the air exhaust duct. Further, it is preferable that the pressure intensifying apparatus
300 is buried in a ceiling. It is also apparent that two or more pressure intensifying
apparatuses can be respectively installed in the air supply duct and the air exhaust
duct
[0041] The pressure intensifying apparatus will now be described with reference to FIGs.
2 to 4.
[0042] The pressure intensifying apparatus 300 includes a case 310 installed in the ducts
110 and 120, air supply units 311 connected to the ducts 110 and 120 to guide air
of at least the ducts 110 and 120 into the case 310, air exhaust units 312 for guiding
an inside air of the case 310 to the ducts 110 and 120, a fan 320 installed inside
the case 310 to rotate to supply/exhaust air, and a drive motor 330 for rotating the
fan 320.
[0043] It is preferable that the case 310 is formed evenly. Also, it is preferable that
at least two air supply units 311 and at least two air exhaust units 312 are provided
at a periphery of the case 310. The case 310 is formed evenly for the purpose of enabling
it to be buried. Also, the air supply unit 311 and the air exhaust unit 312 are provided
at the periphery of the case for the purpose of enabling the branched ducts 110 and
120 to be connected from all directions.
[0044] For example, the case 310 has top and bottom surfaces formed in a circular shape.
On the periphery of the case 310, the air supply unit 311 and the air exhaust duct
312 are formed spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals. It is apparent
that the case 310 can be made in a polygonal shape. The case 310 having the top and
bottom surfaces formed in the circular shape is advantageous to reduce airflow resistance.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 4, the fan 320 may be a turbo fan 320 that sucks air in an axial
direction and discharges air in a radial direction. The turbo fan 320 includes a plurality
of blades 321 radially arranged and a donut-shaped shroud 322 fixed to one side (an
upper side in FIG. 3) of the blade 321. Accordingly, the sucked air passes through
the central portion of the shroud 322 and is then discharged in the radial direction
as the blades 321 are rotating. A high static pressure is formed inside the case 310,
such that air is discharged.
[0046] Because the turbo fan 320 is advantageous to increase the static pressure, the turbo
fan 320 is installed so as to increase the static pressure in the duct 100. If the
turbo fan 320 is used, the height of the case 310 is lowered, such that the pressure
intensifying apparatus can be easily buried in the ceiling.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the air supply unit 311 and the air exhaust
unit 312 are inclined by a predetermined angle (θ) with respect to a rotational radius
of the turbo fan 320. It aims to reduce airflow resistance because the supplied/exhausted
air flows obliquely with respect to the rotational radius of the fan 320.
[0048] The pressure intensifying apparatus 300 may further include dampers 340 and 350 for
opening/closing the air supply unit 311 and the air exhaust unit 312. When the damper
340 disposed at the air supply unit 311 is opened, air sucked inside the case 310
is guided in an axial direction (toward an upper portion) of the turbo fan 320. As
shown in FIG. 4, the damper 340 is installed to be rotatable about a lower end thereof.
Accordingly, in the case of the damper 340, a separate guide for guiding air in the
axial direction of the turbo fan 320 need not be installed.
[0049] The ventilator 200 and/or the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 may further include
a controller (not shown) for controlling it depending on user's input information.
The controller (not shown) for the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 controls the
static pressure of air passing through the intensifying apparatus 300 by selectively
opening/closing the damper 340 depending on the input information.
[0050] The pressure intensifying apparatus 300 can be applied to gas circulating devices,
such as a ventilation system and an air conditioner.
[0051] An operation of the ventilation system and the pressure intensifying apparatus according
to the present invention will now be described.
[0052] A ventilation mode is started according to a user's selection. At this point, an
air supply stroke and an air exhaust stroke can be done at the same time, or only
one stroke of them can be done. The former case will be described below.
[0053] When the ventilator 200 operates, an outdoor air flows along the air supply duct
110 and a polluted indoor air flows along the air exhaust duct 120 due to pressure
of the ventilator 200. The static pressure in the duct is greatly reduced due to airflow
resistance generated while the indoor and outdoor air flows through the ducts 110
and 120.
[0054] In such a state, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 opens
the dampers 340 and 350 such that air flowing through the ducts 110 and 120 is distributed
to the branched ducts. At this point, the damper 340 disposed at the air supply unit
311 is opened in an inclined manner such that an upper portion of the air supply unit
311 is opened.
Accordingly, air introduced in the air supply unit 311 is guided toward the central
portion of the turbo fan 320 by the damper 340.
[0055] As the turbo fan 320 rotates, the guided air flows in a radial direction. This operation
of the turbo fan 320 causes airflow pressure to increase greatly in the inner periphery
of the case 310. Accordingly, air discharged through the air exhaust unit 312 is in
a state of very high pressure and is exhausted to the ducts 110 and 120 connected
to the air exhaust unit 312. Consequently, the static pressure in the ducts 110 and
120 can increase greatly.
[0056] FIG. 5 is a graph of a test result when the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 is
installed in an about 231-m
2 indoor space. When the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 is not installed, the
static pressure in the ducts 110 and 120 is about 170 Pa (L
1). On the contrary, when the pressure intensifying apparatus 300 is installed, the
static pressure in the ducts 110 and 120 is about 300 Pa (L
2), which is two times as high as the former case. Accordingly, the pressure intensifying
apparatus 300 can supply/exhaust sufficient air to/from the indoor space.
[0057] FIGs. 6 to 8 are views of a pressure intensifying apparatus 400 according to a second
embodiment of the present invention.
[0058] The pressure intensifying apparatus 400 includes a case 410, an air supply unit 411,
an air exhaust unit 412, an air supply fan 420, and an air exhaust fan 430. The case
410 is installed in at least two branched ducts 110 and 120 and is divided into an
upper space and a lower space. The air supply unit 411 and the air exhaust unit 412
communicate the upper and lower spaces of the case 410 with the ducts 110 and 120.
The air supply fan 420 and the air exhaust fan 430 are installed inside the case 410
and are coaxially connected with a drive motor 440.
[0059] The case 410 has top and bottom surfaces formed in a circular shape. On the periphery
of the case 410, the air supply unit 411 and the air exhaust unit 412 are formed spaced
apart from each other at predetermined intervals. The case 310 having the top and
bottom surfaces formed in the circular shape is advantageous to reduce the airflow
resistance. Also, an entire height of the case 410 can be reduced.
[0060] The air supply fan 420 sucks air through the air supply unit 411 and exhausts it
to the air exhaust unit 412. The air exhaust fan 412 sucks air through the air exhaust
unit 412 and exhausts it to the air supply unit 411. It is preferable that the fans
420 and 430 are a double suction fan in which the air supply fan 420 and the air exhaust
fan 430 are coaxially connected to the drive motor 440.
[0061] The case 410 is partitioned to separate the spaces where the air supply fan 420 and
the air exhaust fan 430 are installed.
[0062] The air supply unit 411 includes a first air supply damper 451 for guiding the sucked
air in an axial direction of the air supply fan 420, and a second air supply damper
461 for preventing the air from being exhausted from the air exhaust fan 430 to the
air supply unit 411 when the first air supply damper 451 is opened. The air exhaust
unit 412 includes a first air exhaust damper 452 for guiding the air exhausted from
the air supply fan 420 to the air exhaust unit 412 toward the air exhaust duct 120,
and a second air exhaust damper 462 for preventing air from being sucked to the air
exhaust fan 430 when the first air exhaust damper 452.
[0063] As shown in FIGs. 6 or 7, the air supply dampers 451 and 461 and the air exhaust
dampers 452 and 462 are installed up and down such that they are rotatable about a
partition plate that separates the air supply fan 420 and the air exhaust fan 430.
Also, the first air supply damper 451 is opened in an inclined manner such that an
upper surface of the air supply fan 420 is opened. The second air supply damper 462
is opened in an inclined manner such that a lower portion of the air exhaust fan 430
is opened. Accordingly, if the dampers 451 and 462 are applied, a separate guide for
guiding air in an axial direction of the fan need not be installed.
[0064] In the operation of the air supply dampers 451 and 461 and the air exhaust dampers
452 and 462, when the first air supply damper 451 and the first air exhaust damper
452 are opened, the air supply fan 420 operates to increase the static pressure of
air supplied from the air supply unit 411 to the air exhaust unit 412. When the second
air exhaust damper 462 and the second air supply damper 461 are opened, the air exhaust
fan 430 operates to increase the static pressure of air supplied from the air exhaust
unit 412 to the air supply unit 411. At this point, the dampers can be selectively
opened/closed.
[0065] As described above, in the case of the double suction fan, the static pressure of
the ducts 110 and 120 can be increased at the same time by installing the pressure
intensifying apparatus 400 in the intersection between the air supply duct 110 and
the air exhaust duct 120, not in each of the air supply duct and the air exhaust duct
120.
[0066] Also, the air supply dampers 451 and 461 and the air exhaust dampers 452 and 462
are selectively opened and closed, such that the connection between the air supply
unit 411 and the duct 110 and between the air exhaust unit 412 and the duct 120 can
be modified. Also, air volume provided to the ducts 110 and 120 can be changed.
[0067] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations
can be made in the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention
covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within
