Definitions
- a method and means to create an individually controlled climate at a separate workstation in a room having a primary climate equipment is a method and means to create an individually controlled climate at a separate workstation in a room having a primary climate equipment.
- the present invention relates to a method and means to create an individually controlled climate at a separate work station in a room having a primary climate equipment by using one of several possible connection points at a connection network in a roof or in a ceiling and covering an essential part of the surface of the room.
- the human being needs fresh air and a regulated temperature to feel comfortable. This is also the case in a working station in an office where bad air and a too high or a too low temperature will decrease the working capacity.
- the comfortable temperature is highly individual as well as the sensitivity to draught and odours.
- To control the climate in a workroom or in an open-plan office from just one basic setting is not enough in most cases as some persons will be in close to venting air outlets and/or radiators and will suffer from this, while other persons will be further away and will have a poor air ventilation and/or a too low temperature to work efficient during a whole working day.
- Technique according prior art involves use of huge static and hard to control systems integrated in the building and working with an air exchange in the order of
- the main object of the present invention is to obtain an individually (of each person controlled) climate adaption of just any workstation by integrating the secondary climate equipment into a furniture module.
- Yet another object of the invention is to obtain an individual workstation having its own heat pump module for comfort cooling or heating.
- the initial expenses for the climate system can be kept low in the event a full climate adaption capacity for all the possible workstations is not needed.
- the separate workstations have small heat pump modules these can very well be used for a basic climate adaption of the room during non- working hour.
- the secondary climate equipment forms part of a furniture module in connection to the workstation, which module is arranged for a releasable connection to and co-operation with the primary climate equipment of the building by the use of an arrangement with columns containing channels, conduits and/or wiring for the utilities to be used at the workstation.
- connection means for different utilities, which means being just connectable to the correct positions at the conduit network.
- One advantage with the invention is to use the cooling and ventilation possibilities at the separate workstation also for the workchair.
- the appropriate conduit network for this purpose can be made flexible and not bulky by the use of a hose containing channels for both inflowing and outflowing air.
- a channel network for ventilation may consist of crossed channels for inflowing and/or outflowing air joined in a check pattern together with conduits for heating/cooling, electricity, data, etc.
- the piercing of the air inlet channels and the closing of the same in connection to a rearrangement of the room module including movement of the workstations can be done in many different ways.
- a kind of push lids can be used, or the apertures can be made with a special perforating saw equipment and can be resealed with special sealing means being snapped in place. Lids in the roof and/or in the ceiling will give admittance to the channel system.
- the primary climate adaption equipment When it comes to the primary climate adaption equipment integrated in the building this can be completely free from the channel system being arranged in the floor and maybe in the ceiling.
- the primary climate adaption equipment will give a basic climate in the building and for the separate room modules, e.g. an initial heating and an initial ventilation, while the individual climate adaption for each workstation with a personally chosen temperature level and degree of ventilation will be taken care of by the secondary climate equipment, where the evacuation of air preferably takes place.
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an office room where a conduit chequered pattern network has been put into the ceiling and where a connection of a couple of workstations have been shown,
- Fig. 2 is a side view of a ventilation evacuation part in connection to a workstation
- Fig. 3 is a side view of a ventilation evacuation part in connection to a workstation under its desk
- Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a workstation completed with a column arrangement to connect to a conduit network in the ceiling, and where
- Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic side view of a workstation equipped with an air heat pump module.
- fig. 1 is a perspective view of a large office room where a conduit network 1 for the evacuating air is shown.
- Two workstations 3 are shown connected to the conduit network 1 by connection means 2.
- the incoming air is here shown coming in peripherally at two short ends of the room, but also this conduit network can be more branched off if regarded suitable for certain applications.
- fig. 2 a side view of an evacuation part 4 above a workstation 3 and being connected to the conduit network 1 by connection means 2 and by channel means 5.
- the shown evacuation means is arranged to use the inflowing air to perform an ejecting action, i.e. eject the existing indoor air with said inflowing air.
- FIG. 4 a diagrammatic perspective view of a workstation 3 completed with a column arrangement 7 for connection to a conduit network 1 in the ceiling is shown.
- evacuating means 4, 8 for fresh air, etc. has been arranged for a co-operation to individually control the microclimate.
- a conduit 8a has also been shown connected to the chair. Otherwise connections 6 for a telephone 9 and for a computer 10 (internet) are shown.
- FIG. 5 a diagrammatic side view of a workstation 3 equipped with an air heat pump module A having a capacity to draw in indoor air to heat, cool and/or dehumidify said air before it is ejected to contribute to the creation of a comfortable micro climate.
- an air heat pump module A having a capacity to draw in indoor air to heat, cool and/or dehumidify said air before it is ejected to contribute to the creation of a comfortable micro climate.
- possibility for a ion emission procedure can be arranged to increase the self cleaning ability of the indoor air in such a way that electrically charged particles in the room will more easily be united to form heavier particles falling out from the indoor air and become more easily taken care of.
