ABSTRACT:
In building environmental control, primary HVAC services are distributed to multiple terminal units. An active diffuser terminal unit has a variable speed fan to controllably draw room air into the unit for reheating the air; and, conversely, to force conditioned air down into the space for cooling by reversing the direction of the fan motor. Variation of the fan speed serves to modulate the airflow direction mix through a combination of a vertical port and a horizontal port. This closed system avoids filtering plenum air, and reduces cost by supporting both heating and cooling services with a single fan.
