Description
La présente invention concerne un système d'entrée d'air pour l'aération intérieure d'un bâtiment, en particulier pour une habitation ou un bâtiment tertiaire.The present invention relates to an air intake system for the interior ventilation of a building, in particular for a dwelling or a tertiary building.
Les bâtiments recevant des personnes, notamment les logements ou les locaux tertiaires comme les écoles ou les bureaux, comportent généralement un système d'aération des différentes pièces pour renouveler l'air, comprenant un système d'extraction de l'air des locaux, et des entrées d'air venant de l'extérieur afin de compenser cette extraction.Buildings receiving people, in particular housing or tertiary premises such as schools or offices, generally include a ventilation system for the various rooms to renew the air, comprising a system for extracting the air from the premises, and air inlets coming from the outside to compensate for this extraction.
Le renouvellement de l'air des pièces a pour principal objectif d'évacuer les polluants de l'air liés à la présence des occupants, à la présence du matériel ou des machines utilisées dans ces locaux, ainsi que ceux émis par le bâtiment lui-même. Les polluants de l'air sont en particulier le gaz carbonique CO2, l'humidité et les composés organiques volatils appelés « COV ».The main objective of renewing the air in the rooms is to remove pollutants from the air linked to the presence of occupants, the presence of the equipment or machines used in these premises, as well as those emitted by the building itself. even. Air pollutants are in particular carbon dioxide CO2, humidity and volatile organic compounds called “VOCs”.
En particulier chaque personne respirant pendant une journée un volume d'air d'environ 12m3, il est important pour des raisons d'hygiène et de confort de réaliser un renouvellement de l'air des pièces fermées. On renouvelle aussi cet air pour contrôler le taux d'hygrométrie intérieur du bâtiment. De plus il est nécessaire de maîtriser le débit du renouvellement d'air, afin de limiter les déperditions thermiques dues à l'évacuation de l'air intérieur chauffé en hiver.In particular each person breathing during a day an air volume of approximately 12m 3 , it is important for reasons of hygiene and comfort to carry out a renewal of the air of the closed rooms. This air is also renewed to control the humidity level inside the building. In addition, it is necessary to control the flow of air renewal, in order to limit the heat losses due to the evacuation of the indoor air heated in winter.
La ventilation des locaux peut être naturelle, avec des conduits d'air partant de différentes pièces pour déboucher à l'extérieur, qui présentent un tirage thermique activé par la différence de pression naturelle quand l'air est plus froid à l'extérieur. Quand la température extérieure est plus élevée on perd le différentiel de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, et le débit d'air peut être insuffisant.The ventilation of the premises can be natural, with air ducts from different rooms to the outside, which have a thermal draft activated by the natural pressure difference when the air is colder outside. When the outside temperature is higher, the pressure differential between the inside and the outside is lost, and the air flow may be insufficient.
La ventilation des locaux peut être aussi réalisée par une ventilation mécanique contrôlée appelée « VMC », comportant une turbine entraînée par un moteur électrique tournant en permanence, qui génère une dépression pour activer le débit dans les conduits d'air débouchant à l'extérieur. La ventilation peut comporter un fonctionnement variable, présentant notamment un débit fixe, modulé ou intermittent.The ventilation of the premises can also be carried out by a controlled mechanical ventilation called "VMC", comprising a turbine driven by a continuously rotating electric motor, which generates a vacuum for activate the flow in the air ducts opening to the outside. The ventilation can have variable operation, in particular having a fixed, modulated or intermittent flow rate.
En variante un système de ventilation intermédiaire, appelé aussi ventilation hybride, comporte une turbine présentant à l'arrêt une faible perte de charge dans le conduit, qui est arrêtée quand le tirage thermique de la ventilation naturelle est suffisant, et qui tourne à une vitesse variable adaptée quand la ventilation naturelle est insuffisante pour compenser le débit trop faible. En particulier la vitesse de la turbine peut être ajustée automatiquement en fonction de la température extérieure qui active la ventilation naturelle.As a variant, an intermediate ventilation system, also called hybrid ventilation, comprises a turbine having a low pressure drop in the duct when stopped, which is stopped when the thermal draft of the natural ventilation is sufficient, and which rotates at a speed variable adapted when natural ventilation is insufficient to compensate for the too low flow. In particular, the speed of the turbine can be automatically adjusted according to the outside temperature which activates natural ventilation.
D'une manière générale dans un bâtiment à usage d'habitation on extrait l'air par des bouches d'extraction placées dans des pièces techniques, comme la cuisine, les toilettes ou la salle de bains, et on introduit l'air dans des pièces d'habitation, comme le séjour, le bureau, le salon ou les chambres.In general, in a building for residential use, the air is extracted through extraction vents placed in technical rooms, such as the kitchen, the toilets or the bathroom, and the air is introduced into living rooms, such as the living room, the office, the living room or the bedrooms.
Les entrées d'air forment généralement des grilles placées au-dessus des portes ou des fenêtres, ou en haut des murs, ce qui donne d'abord un balayage des pièces d'habitation, puis ensuite des pièces techniques où l'air est extrait, représentant généralement les locaux où les polluants sont plus nombreux.Air inlets generally form grilles placed above doors or windows, or at the top of walls, which first scans living rooms, then technical rooms where air is extracted. , generally representing rooms where pollutants are more numerous.
Les grilles d'entrée d'air comportent une surface fixée sur la paroi entourant une ouverture vers l'extérieur, et une forme qui dirige l'air vers l'intérieur comprenant dans certains cas un système de réglage de la section de passage qui peut être partiellement ou entièrement fermée. Ce réglage peut être manuel, ou automatisé avec une modulation automatique en fonction de la détection d'un polluant.The air intake grilles have a surface fixed to the wall surrounding an opening to the outside, and a shape which directs the air inwards including in some cases a system for adjusting the passage section which can be partially or fully closed. This adjustment can be manual, or automated with automatic modulation according to the detection of a pollutant.
Un problème qui se pose dans le cas de systèmes d'entrée d'air comprenant un réglage de la section de passage, est qu'un opérateur peut fermer entièrement ce débit dans le cas où on ne souhaite pas aérer la pièce, et par la suite oublier de le réouvrir au moins en partie pour procéder à l'aération normale de la pièce. Il en est de même pour un réglage automatisé de la section de passage d'air, avec un risque de fermeture complète en cas notamment de panne du système de commande. On n'a alors plus de balayage de la pièce d'entrée. Le document
La présente invention a notamment pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients de la technique antérieure.The object of the present invention is in particular to avoid these drawbacks of the prior art.
Elle propose à cet effet un système d'entrée d'air pour l'aération d'un bâtiment, selon la revendication 1.To this end, it proposes an air intake system for ventilating a building, according to
Un avantage de ce système d'entrée d'air est qu'en fixant l'entretoise sur la paroi à la place d'un dispositif d'entrée d'air réglable standard, ce dispositif étant fixé sur cette entretoise, on garantit dans tous les cas le flux d'air constant minimum avec le passage direct vers l'intérieur du bâtiment qui ne peut pas être réduit, quels que soient les réglages du dispositif d'entrée d'air standard.An advantage of this air inlet system is that by fixing the spacer on the wall instead of a standard adjustable air inlet device, this device being fixed on this spacer, it is guaranteed in all cases the minimum constant air flow with the direct passage to the interior of the building which cannot be reduced, regardless of the settings of the standard air inlet device.
De plus en prévoyant des fixations de l'entretoise sur la paroi équivalentes à celles du dispositif d'entrée d'air, on fixe alors cette entretoise sur la paroi à la place du dispositif sans aucune modification de cette paroi. Le montage se fait de manière simple, rapide et économique.In addition by providing fixings of the spacer on the wall equivalent to those of the air inlet device, this spacer is then fixed on the wall in place of the device without any modification of this wall. The assembly is done in a simple, fast and economical way.
Le système d'entrée d'air selon l'invention peut de plus comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, qui peuvent être combinées entre elles.The air intake system according to the invention can also include one or more of the following characteristics, which can be combined with one another.
Avantageusement, le passage d'air direct de l'entretoise vers l'intérieur du bâtiment est prévu pour être dirigé vers le haut. De cette manière le flux d'air constant n'est pas dirigé sur les usagers.Advantageously, the direct passage of air from the spacer towards the interior of the building is designed to be directed upwards. In this way the constant air flow is not directed towards the users.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les deux faces de l'entretoise prévues pour les fixations sont parallèles. Le dispositif d'entrée d'air trouve alors la même orientation qu'il a sans l'entretoise.According to one embodiment, the two faces of the spacer provided for the fasteners are parallel. The air intake device then finds the same orientation as it has without the spacer.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les deux faces de l'entretoise prévues pour les fixations forment un angle qui incline le dispositif d'entrée d'air vers le bas.According to another embodiment, the two faces of the spacer provided for the fixings form an angle which tilts the air inlet device downwards.
Dans ce cas, l'angle formé par les deux faces de l'entretoise peut être compris entre 15 et 45°.In this case, the angle formed by the two faces of the spacer may be between 15 and 45 °.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif d'entrée d'air comporte un moyen de réglage du débit. Quel que soit le réglage du débit, on obtient alors au minimum le flux d'air constant.According to the invention, the air inlet device comprises a means for adjusting the flow rate. Whatever the setting of the flow rate, the constant air flow is then obtained as a minimum.
Dans ce cas, le moyen de réglage du débit peut comporter un automatisme en fonction d'une mesure de polluants dans l'air.In this case, the flow rate adjustment means may include an automatic mechanism based on a measurement of pollutants in the air.
Avantageusement, le flux d'air principal est prévu pour être dirigé vers le haut.Advantageously, the main air flow is designed to be directed upwards.
Avantageusement, le dispositif d'entrée d'air et l'entretoise peuvent comporter des perçages alignés permettant la fixation sur la paroi avec des mêmes vis. De cette manière on n'ajoute pas de moyen de fixation spécifique pour l'entretoise, l'ensemble étant fixé de la même manière que le dispositif d'entrée d'air seul.Advantageously, the air inlet device and the spacer can include aligned holes allowing fixing to the wall with the same screws. In this way, no specific fixing means are added for the spacer, the assembly being fixed in the same way as the air inlet device alone.
Avantageusement, le contour extérieur de l'entretoise correspond à celui du dispositif d'entrée d'air. On obtient un ensemble présentant des surfaces extérieures alignées, qui est esthétique.Advantageously, the outer contour of the spacer corresponds to that of the air inlet device. This gives an assembly having aligned exterior surfaces, which is aesthetic.

On a le flux principal F qui va d'un flux minimum Fmin à un flux maximum Fmax, auquel s'ajoute dans tous les cas le flux constant F1 qui ne change pas. Si le dispositif d'entrée d'air comporte un flux minimum Fmin égale à zéro, on a alors toujours le flux constant F1.We have the main flow F which goes from a minimum flow Fmin to a maximum flow Fmax, to which is added in all cases the constant flow F1 which does not change. If the air inlet device has a minimum flow Fmin equal to zero, then there is always the constant flow F1.
