ABSTRACT:
An air circulating device and method includes a base positioned on the floor of a room with a pair of ducts extending therefrom and terminating adjacent the ceiling and fans disposed within the base to draw hot air from the ceiling via one of the ducts and force cold air toward the ceiling via the other duct such that hot air drawn from the ceiling is replaced with cold air drawn from the floor is replaced by hot air drawn from the ceiling. The cold air drawn from the floor is discharged at the ceiling at a rate greater than the rate at which hot air from the ceiling is discharged at the floor, preferably three times as great, to eliminate floor drafts and obtain a proper mixture of cold and hot air. A humidifier is disposed within the base and includes a reservoir of humidifying liquid, a sponge having a portion disposed in the reservoir below a predetermined level and a liquid dispenser for automatically maintaining the humidifying liquid at the predetermined level, air forced through the base by the fans being humidified by picking up moisture from the humidifying liquid as the air passes through perforations in the sponge. An electrical heater can be disposed in the base to heat air after it is humidified, and a germicidal lamp can be disposed along one of the ducts to irradiate air flowing therethrough with ultraviolet light.
