System, apparatus and method for conditioning a space

Abstract

An induction heating and cooling unit. Included are a coil suitable to receive room air from a room to be heated or cooled; a mixer having an outside air receiver, and comprising a nozzle suitable to inject the outside air into the presence of the room air at the coil, wherein the injected outside air induces a lower pressure area behind the coil, which thereby draws the room air across the coil to mix the room air with the injected outside air; a plurality of temperature sensors capable of monitoring at least outside air temperature, a temperature of water entering the coil, a secondary water temperature of secondary water being circulated around a building perimeter, discharged air temperature; at least one valve capable of modulating an amount of the water provided to the coil; and at least one controller capable of controlling at least the modulation of the amount of water and a velocity of the injected outside air responsive to data from the plurality of temperature sensors.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An induction heating and cooling unit, comprising:
 a coil suitable to receive room air from a room to be heated or cooled;   a mixer having an outside air receiver, and comprising a nozzle suitable to inject the outside air into the presence of the room air at the coil, wherein the injected outside air induces a lower pressure area behind the coil, which thereby draws the room air across the coil to mix the room air with the injected outside air;   a plurality of temperature sensors capable of monitoring at least outside air temperature, a temperature of water entering the coil, a secondary water temperature of secondary water being circulated around a building perimeter, discharged air temperature;   at least one valve capable of modulating an amount of the water provided to the coil;   at least one controller capable of controlling at least the modulation of the amount of water and a velocity of the injected outside air responsive to data from the plurality of temperature sensors; and   a discharge to the room comprising at least a grate, wherefrom the mixed air is delivered to the room to be heated or cooled after passing over the coil.
