Exterior ventilator door for receiving outdoor air
Abstract:
A ventilator door brings fresh outside air into a structure through an outside opening and a fan or blower pulls outside air into a duct in the door. The air flows through the duct and into the structure through an inside grill remote from the outside opening. Heat is transferred from the flow of air to a heat sink disposed in the duct to cool the fresh air flowing into the duct. A regenerative heat sink may be used to capture heat from a flow of air from inside the structure and transfer the captured heat to a flow of outside air flowing into the structure. An inside opening in the door generally opposite to the outside opening. The air flow through the openings is controlled by movable panels by aligning or by misaligning openings in the movable panels with the openings in the outside and inside panels. A microprocessor controls the movable panels and the fan or blower in response to sensors inside and outside of the door.
