Combined lighting and air conditioning fixture

摘要

The disclosed embodiments describe a cost and energy efficient combined lighting and air conditioning fixture. This combined system may employ a flexible distributed air handler that can employ distributed heat exchangers to a liquid loop. The described system may be comprised of distributed dampers, heat exchangers, and air handlers that are controlled from a controller integrated into a ceiling, floor, or wall unit. The controller may also be part of a combined LED lighting drop-in ceiling fixture.

主权项

1. A combined lighting and air conditioning fixture comprising:
at least one distributed damper, said damper opening and closing depending on a temperature of air in a room; at least one heat exchanger, said heat exchanger in thermal contact with a fluid and a portion of said air in said room, wherein said heat exchanger either transfers heat from a liquid medium to said air or transfers heat from said air to said liquid medium depending on the difference between a desired temperature of said room and said temperature of air in said room; an air handler, said air handler forcing said air in said room to contact said heat exchanger; an LED lighting fixture, wherein said at least one distributed damper, said at least one heat exchanger, said air handler, and said LED lighting fixture are combined such that said combination is capable of replacing a single drop in ceiling panel; and an electronic control device, said electronic control device controlling said at least one distributed damper, said at least one heat exchanger, said air handler, and said LED lighting fixture to adjust or maintain both said temperature of said room and the brightness of said LED lighting fixture.
