Abstract

An HVAC delivery system to supply air from an HVAC system in proximity to a fan blade. A fan blade for use in a high volume, low-speed fan, wherein the fan blade includes a body portion, a leading edge portion and a trailing portion. The leading edge portion of the fan blade includes a series of steps extending along the length of the leading edge. The fan distributes airflow from the HVAC delivery system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A combination ceiling fan and HVAC delivery system comprising:
 a mounting apparatus;   a motor mounted to said mounting apparatus;   an gear mechanism coupled to said motor;   a plurality of fan blades forming a centerline, the fan blades engage the gear mechanism to rotate the fan blades around the centerline;   each of the fan blades having a body portion, a top portion, a leading edge portion and a trailing portion; wherein the leading edge portion of the fan blade is configured to include a plurality of steps extending along a length of the leading edge portion of each fan blade;   an HVAC delivery system mounted within the fan having an HVAC inlet positioned to accommodate an HVAC system and an HVAC outlet positioned at, or in close proximity to the centerline of the fan, wherein the HVAC outlet supplies air from the HVAC system in an impact area of the fan blades.   
     
     
         2 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 1  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location above the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         3 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 1  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         4 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 1  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location above and below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         5 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 1  wherein the fan comprises a high volume, low speed fan. 
     
     
         6 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 5  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location above the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         7 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 5  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         8 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 5  further comprising an air exchanger configured to distribute air at a location above and below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         9 . A combination ceiling fan and HVAC delivery system comprising:
 a mounting apparatus;   a motor mounted to said mounting apparatus;   an gear mechanism coupled to said motor;   a plurality of fan blades forming a centerline, the fan blades engage the gear mechanism to rotate the fan blades around the centerline, said fan blades further forming a plane;   an HVAC delivery system mounted within the fan having an HVAC inlet positioned to accommodate an HVAC system and an HVAC outlet positioned in close proximity to supply air from the HVAC system to the impact area of the fan blades.   
     
     
         10 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 9  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location above the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         11 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 9  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         12 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 9  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location above and below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         13 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 9  wherein the fan comprises a high volume, low speed fan. 
     
     
         14 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 13  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location above the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         15 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 13  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         16 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 13  further comprising an air outlet configured to distribute air at a location above and below the plane formed by the plurality of fan blades. 
     
     
         17 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 14 , wherein the HVAC outlet is positioned at or close proximity to the centerline of the fan. 
     
     
         18 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 15 , wherein the HVAC outlet is positioned at or close proximity to the centerline of the fan. 
     
     
         19 . The combination fan and HVAC delivery system of  claim 16 , wherein the HVAC outlet is positioned at or close proximity to the centerline of the fan.
