Method and system for conditioning air in an enclosed environment with distributed air circulation systems
First Claim
1. A system for conditioning air in a building, comprising:
- a fan-coil unit arranged adjacent to or within an indoor space within the building and additionally configured to at least one of heat and cool the air of the indoor space; and
a scrubber arranged adjacent to or within the indoor space, the scrubber configured during a scrub cycle to scrub indoor air from the indoor space, the scrubber including;
one or more adsorbent materials arranged therein to adsorb at least one gas from the indoor air during the scrub cycle; and
a source of purging gas,wherein the scrubber is configured, during a purge cycle, to direct the purging gas over and/or through the one or more adsorbent materials to purge at least a portion of the at least one gas adsorbed by the one or more adsorbent materials during the scrub cycle from the one or more adsorbent materials and thereafter exhaust the purging gas via an exhaust.

Abstract
A system for conditioning air in a building including a fan-coil unit arranged adjacent to or within an indoor space within the building and additionally configured to at least one of heat and cool the air of the indoor space, and a scrubber arranged adjacent to or within the indoor space, the scrubber configured during a scrub cycle for scrubbing of indoor air from the indoor space. The scrubber includes one or more adsorbent materials arranged therein to adsorb at least one predetermined gas from the indoor air during the scrub cycle, and an exhaust, wherein the scrubber is configured during a purge cycle to direct a purging air over and/or through the adsorbent materials to purge at least a portion of the at least one predetermined gas adsorbed by the adsorbent materials during the scrub cycle from the adsorbent materials and thereafter exhausting the flow via the exhaust.

8. An air treatment system for conditioning air in a building, comprising:
-
a fan-coil unit configured to circulate indoor air of an indoor space; heating or cooling means configured to respectively heat or cool the indoor air; a scrubber configured, during a scrub cycle, to scrub the indoor air from the indoor space, the scrubber placed within or adjacent to the indoor space and including one or more adsorbent materials arranged therein to adsorb at least one gas from the air of the indoor space during the scrub cycle, and a source of purging gas; wherein, during a purge cycle, the scrubber is configured to flow the purging gas over and/or through the one or more adsorbent materials to purge the one or more adsorbent materials of at least a portion of the at least one gas adsorbed by the one or more adsorbent materials and thereafter exhaust the purging gas via an exhaust. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A method for conditioning air in a building, comprising:
-
circulating indoor air of an indoor space via a fan-coil unit; scrubbing the indoor air during a scrub cycle using a scrubber placed within or adjacent to the indoor space, the scrubber including one or more adsorbent materials arranged therein to adsorb at least one gas from the air of the indoor space during the scrub cycle; flowing a purging gas over and/or through the one or more adsorbent materials so as to purge the adsorbent materials of at least a portion of the at least one gas adsorbed by the one or more adsorbent materials; and thereafter exhausting the purging gas flow via an exhaust. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
