Description
The unique solution to your ventilation needs! Air Displacement works with natural
principles to provide a reduction of ventilation air while increasing air quaulity.
Like the clean
water on the bottom of the illustration, breathing air is kept clean while hot,
dirty air is displaced to the ceiling where
it is exhausted. Conventional systems, like the water below, mix dirt and fresh
air creating an unhealthy environment.
Conventional
Dilution Air Systems cannot compete with the air quality Air Displacement
systems because conventional systems try to clean air by mixing it. Yet, just
as warm, dirty, water cannot become clean mixing by mixing it with cool, clean
water, so dirty breathing air cannot be cleaned by mixing in fresh air. Air
Displacement eliminates this problem by using the difference in air densities
to thermally seperate the hot dirty air and the cool, clean air.
You can get an additional brief
overview or detailed description of the system.
Since the air being placed on the ground by the Air Displacement
system is several degrees cooler than the existing air, it is denser and stays
on the ground. The warm, humid air, which contains the dirt, is displaced
to the ceiling because it is lighter, or at a lower density. Warm air, dirty
air is generated by a whole range of things, including people and the machinery
they use. The thermal stratification is similar to placing oil and water in
a glass. They do not mix because they are different densities. What the process
means is clean, fresh air stays where people want to breathe while dirty air
is exhausted at the ceiling.
Ventilation air comes through a large duct near the ground at extremely low
velocity.
Air can also be delivered through fabric duct work. For more information

Advantages:
- Outdoor Ventilation Air means Harmful Gases and Particulates
are Elimated from the Breathing Space
- Air is Thermally Stratified from Floor to Ceiling so
Cool Clean Air is where People Need to Breath it and Hot, Dirty Air is at
the Ceiling being Exhausted
- No Drafts
- Extremely Clean Occupied Air Zone
- Dirty Air remains Near the Ceiling
- Less Ventilation Air is Required to Maintain a High
Air Quality which Means Less Equipment is Necessary to do the Job
- Lower Equipment Requirements mean Lower Start Up Costs
and Greatly Reduced Running Costs
Reasons to Utilize Air Displacement:
- High Number of People in a Space
- Ceilings which are 8 feet or Higher
- Facilities Requiring Large Quantities of Ventilation
Air
- Contaminated Environments
- A Need to Save Fuel or Energy
