Abstract

A system for generating uniform air diffusion is disclosed that includes a diffuser tube having a first elongated profile and a first surface extending along a longitudinal length of the diffuser tube and defining a first enclosed space. The diffuser tube may receive conditioned air within the first enclosed space. The first surface includes a first plurality of openings that allow movement of air across the first surface. The longitudinal length of the diffuser tube is changeable. The system may additionally include an external casing having a second elongated profile and a second surface extending along a longitudinal length of the external casing and defining a second enclosed space. The external casing may encase the diffuser tube. The second surface may include a second plurality of openings that allow movement of air thereacross. The external casing may be rotatable relative to the diffuser tube.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for generating uniform air diffusion, the system comprising:
 a diffuser tube having a first elongated profile and comprising a first surface extending along a longitudinal length of the diffuser tube and defining a first enclosed space, the diffuser tube configured to receive conditioned air within the first enclosed space via at least one inlet, the first surface comprising:
 a first plurality of openings, each of the first plurality of openings configured to allow movement of air across the first surface; 
 wherein the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube is changeable; and 
   an external casing having a second elongated profile and comprising a second surface extending along a longitudinal length of the external casing and defining a second enclosed space, the external casing configured to encase the diffuser tube within the second enclosed space, the second surface comprising:
 a second plurality of openings, each of the second plurality of openings configured to allow movement of air across the second surface; 
 wherein the external casing is rotatable relative to the diffuser tube, to cause a uniform circulation of the air in the vicinity of external casing. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first elongated profile is a cylindrical profile, having a circular cross-section of a first radius,   wherein the second elongated profile is a cylindrical profile, having a circular cross-section of a second radius, and   wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the diffuser tube comprises one of:
 an assembly of a plurality of telescopic tubes,
 wherein at least one of the plurality of telescopic tubes is slidable relative to the remaining of the plurality of telescopic tubes, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube; or 
   a helicoidal structure,
 wherein the helicoidal structure is collapsible and expandable to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube. 
   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising a first actuator coupled to the diffuser tube, wherein the first actuator is configured to cause change of the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube, by one of:
 sliding of the at least one of the plurality of telescopic tubes relative to the remaining of the plurality of telescopic tubes, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube; or   collapsing or expanding of the helicoidal structure, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the first actuator is further configured to cause rotation of the external casing relative to the diffuser tube. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second actuator coupled to the external casing, the second actuator configured to cause rotation of the external casing relative to the diffuser tube. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the at least one inlet is defined on a side-face of the diffuser tube, and   wherein the diffuser tube is to receive the conditioned air via an input air duct coupled with the at least one inlet.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein an orientation of each of the first plurality of openings is oblique to the first surface associated with the diffuser tube. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein an axis of rotation of the external casing is inclined at an angle to an axis associated with the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube. 
     
     
         10 . A diffuser tube for generating uniform air diffusion, the diffuser tube comprising:
 a first elongated profile defining:
 a first surface extending along a longitudinal length of the first elongated profile, the first surface comprising a first plurality of openings; and 
 a first enclosed space, 
 wherein the diffuser tube is configured to receive conditioned air within the first enclosed space via at least one inlet, 
 wherein each of the first plurality of openings is configured to allow movement of air across the first surface, and 
 wherein the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube is changeable. 
   
     
     
         11 . The diffuser tube of  claim 10 ,
 wherein the first elongated profile is a cylindrical profile, having a circular cross-section of a first radius,   wherein the second elongated profile is a cylindrical profile, having a circular cross-section of a second radius, and   wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius.   
     
     
         12 . The diffuser tube of  claim 10  further comprising one of:
 an assembly of a plurality of telescopic tubes,
 wherein at least one of the plurality of telescopic tubes is slidable relative to the remaining of the plurality of telescopic tubes, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube; or 
 
 a helicoidal structure,
 wherein the helicoidal structure is collapsible and expandable to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube. 
 
 
     
     
         13 . The diffuser tube of  claim 12 , further comprising a first actuator configured to cause change of the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube, by one of:
 sliding of the at least one of the plurality of telescopic tubes relative to the remaining of the plurality of telescopic tubes, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube; or   collapsing or expanding of the helicoidal structure, to change the longitudinal length of the diffuser tube.   
     
     
         14 . The diffuser tube of  claim 13 , wherein the first actuator is further configured to cause rotation of the external casing relative to the diffuser tube.
