WORK STATIO 30
fixed size and shape for the above values on CFM. They can also be used in the same configuration on any site. Features to be protected in the patent pertaining to these ducts are as follows: •Concept of these air distribution raceways to disperse conditioned air at each and every work desk. •Concept of supply, installation, testing and commissioning of Air distribution through these raceways to give considerable time saving during execution. •Reusability of these Raceways with the work desks with minimum finishes touch up.
2. Linear Diffusers Disperse Air
to
These are the grills fixed with the HVAC raceway to diffuse the air on the person occupying the work desk. In the conventional system, these Diffusers are fixed on the false ceiling or on the ducts itself in case there is no false ceiling. These Diffusers are generally at the height of not less than 8ft from the finished floor level; hence they diffuse the air centrally much above the height of a general work desk. The common issue with these grills and ducts faced after the commissioning is the air balancing. In such systems, the ducts create a network of stem and branches. The stem is called the main duct that supplies the air to the branches. These branches
are then installed with the grills to diffuse a set volume of air as per the pre-designed duct and grill sizes and crosssections. The branches are controlled by the volume control dampers that help to balance and manage the flow of air at nominal levels and as per the design parameters. If these dampers are not calibrated properly or are missing at certain locations, there is a disbalance in the volume of air, some branches and their diffusers disperse more volume of air, and the other operates on lesser volume than designed for. This creates an issue of improper air balancing wherein there is always a condition of discomfort among some of the users. In the proposed system, these diffusers are provided at an accessible height with the option of partial opening and closing that works similar to a mechanism seen with the AC grills of a car, these diffusers are calibrated at the maximum required dispersion to reach a designed temperature and can be adjusted by the users to partially or fully close the same as per there comfort.
3. Flip Top Box with Electrical and data supply These are the Flip top boxes with electrical and data terminations, in terms of technology these boxes are similar to the boxes which are used traditionally for a conference table set up, i.e. they house desired number of Electrical 3 pin sockets and data ports on the front
