(54) | Zoned air conditioning system |
(57) O A zoned air conditioning system using a room airterminal which has the same horizontal
dimensions as a floor tile of a raised tile floor such that the terminal may replace
one tile in such a floor. The terminal includes a cool air inlet below the floor for
drawing in cooling air circulated in the under floor space and a return air inlet
in the top surface of the terminal. The cool air and return air is mixed in a mixing
chamber and drawn from the mixing chamber by a fan and returned to the room through
an outlet vent The ratio of cool air to return air mixed in the mixing chamber is
controlled by a modulating damper which is controlled in response to the temperature
of the return air in order to control the room temperature in the region of the terminal
in accordance with an adjustable set point. A heater is also provided in the terminal
for those occasions where the return air is cooler than the set point. |
