SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT AIR COOLING, EXCHANGE AND CIRCULATION
First Claim
1. An air ventilation system for use in cooling, exchanging, and circulating air inside a room comprising:
- a first conduit that captures air from upper level of the room;
a second conduit that directs air to inside the room;
a first opening conduit that expels air from said first conduit to outside the room;
a second opening conduit that draws air from outside to be directed to said second conduit;
a fan unit;
a partition door that directs airflow in said first and second conduits;
a control unit operable to configure said fan unit and partition door to perform air cooling, exchange and circulation operation; and
a stand;
whereby said air cooling, exchange and circulation operation causes said system to operate in one of the modes comprising of;
(a) room air is captured from said first conduit and expelled to outside; and
outside air is drawn from outside to inside the room through said second conduit;
(b) room air is captured by said first conduit and expelled to outside only; and
no outside air is drawn to inside the room; and
(c) room air is captured from said first conduit and directed downward to said second conduit and expelled to inside the room;
whereas no inside air is expelled to outside and no outside air is drawn to inside the room.

Abstract
An airflow management device is described that assists air cooling, exchange, and circulation of interior spaces by creating inward and outward airflow through a window opening. The device measures temperatures outside and inside a room, and determines when to exhaust warmer ceiling air and to draw cooler outside air. The exhaust component of the device captures warmer air at a higher level of the room and exhausts it through a window opening at a lower level. The intake component of the device draws cooler outside air through the window opening and discharges it into the room at a lower level than exhaust inflow. By expelling air from a high level and drawing it at a lower level, the room vertical temperature gradient is maintained thus optimizing cooling effectiveness. By microcontroller regulation of inflow and outflow, air pressure equilibrium between outside and inside is maintained thus maximizing airflow efficiency.

12. A method of cooling, exchanging, and circulating air inside a room having an opening on the wall, floor or ceiling to outside the room, said method comprising the steps of:
-
setting user desired room temperature; sensing the temperature at upper level inside of said room; sensing the temperature at lower level inside of said room; sensing the temperature at outside of said room; and controlling and directing the airflow of said room based on said user set desired room temperature;
said temperature at upper level;
said temperature at lower level inside said room; and
said temperature outside said room. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
