Ventilation component for an air distributor system, an air distributor system for buildings with this component, a method for assembling the ventilation component and a method for operating the air distributor system

p0001The present invention relates to an air management assembly for an air distribution system, air distribution system for a building with these air guide assembly, a method for arranging the air duct assembly and a method for operating an air distribution system. The invention is described in connection with the air-conditioning of a room, which are arranged in a building. It should be noted that the invention can also be found independently of residential buildings use.

p0002Air conditioning systems for buildings are known from the prior art. These are characterized often by separate guidance of fresh air and tempered water for the air conditioning of a building or a room. Ventilation systems found in new construction and in renovation of buildings is becoming increasingly important and topical. Increasingly, it is necessary to prove the prescribed by the DIN and EN standards minimum air exchange in buildings through a ventilation system or fulfill. Also the demands on air quality and the comfort of the operator in connection with energy efficiency. The existing air distribution is usually done via flow-distribution channels, which are laid in or on the raw roof deck. These systems are created with central inputs and outlets per room. The underfloor heating systems currently in use are autonomously operated with water as the carrier medium.

p0003There are no solutions, with which air distribution and floor heating in a system with a relatively low construction and expenses are possible. The marketable underfloor heating via DHW distributions in pipe systems. This heat advance to screed, which supply heat to the room with a significant delay. By this delay effect is subject to the room temperature larger temperature fluctuations. This can be reduced only with great technical effort. The previous methods are limited to each individual functions. These are in the underfloor heating of the floor (by heating of the room) and ventilation systems, the exchange of indoor air with optional heat recovery and air filtration. Due to the separation of the systems underfloor heating and indoor ventilation a significant planning and installation effort is necessary. In addition, the upgrade is extremely complicated and costly and thus usually uneconomical with existing buildings. For this reason, omitted here retrofit generally. Due to the water supply in Fußbodenheizleitungen is at work on the installed lines and fatigue is a risk of water leakage and resulting water damage. The hitherto known methods are based solely on the individual function as a water-bearing floor heating or room-ventilation system, but not in combination.

p0004For new buildings and renovations two separate installations for heating with tempered water and ventilation are necessary. The combination of both systems in a system is due to the different carrier media not possible (water / air) and Verteilarten without much effort. By necessary dimensioning line crossings are more difficult and additional floor construction height required. This is often seen as a problem.
