An exposed high induction supply air duct is provided and is adapted to be installed in an open ceiling environment. Conditioned air is diffused from the supply air duct through an array of nozzles disposed along the length of the supply air duct. At the same time, existing air in an open space underlying the duct is induced upwardly towards the nozzles where the existing air is efficiently mixed with the supply air being exhausted by the nozzles.

ROOFTOP EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR EXHAUSTING AIR FROM A BUILDING
The present invention entails a rooftop exhaust system for a building. The exhaust system includes a motor that is configured to directly drive a fan. The fan during the course of operation generates a negative pressure on the upstream side of the fan. This negative pressure is utilized to induce outside cooling air into a shroud that partially encloses the motor. Cooling air passing through the shroud contacts the motor and heat associated with the motor is transferred to the cooling air after which the cooling air exits the shroud.

Cooling air is discharged from a motor compartment and mixed with exhaust air to form an air mixture that is directed through the housing of the exhaust fan.
A rooftop exhaust fan incorporates a mechanical motor lockout that prevents a fan motor from being energized when the exhaust fan assumes an open position for cleaning, maintenance or inspection.
The present invention relates to a rooftop exhaust fan that is pivotally mounted to a curb or other support structure and which, in response to pivoting the exhaust fan from a closed position to an inclined open position, the exhaust fan is automatically locked in the inclined open position.
An exhaust fan configured to exhaust air from a building includes a housing, a fan, and a motor for driving the fan. Overlying the fan is one or more dampers that are moveable from a closed position to an open position. Underlying the dampers is at least one pivot arm per damper that is pivotally connected to the fan and which normally assumes a horizontal position spaced from the overlying damper. A mechanical fusible link is connected to the pivot arm and is configured to break in response to a buildup of heat in and around the dampers. Once the fusible link breaks, then the pivot arm is operative to engage and open the overlying damper.

A system for directing two separate streams of air to a commercial or industrial kitchen environment. The system includes a dual airflow plenum that is normally disposed adjacent a kitchen exhaust hood. Typically one stream of air is a tempered, that is heated or cooled, and is directed through the dual airflow plenum to where it is exhausted at an area or point adjacent the exhaust hood. A second untempered, that is ambient air, air stream is directed through the same dual air flow plenum and is exhausted into an area adjacent the exhaust hood. Preferably the plenum is positioned with respect to the exhaust hood such that the outlet for the untempered air is disposed generally between the exhaust hood and the outlet for the tempered air. Moreover, the relative velocity of the two air streams is maintained or controlled such that the velocity of the tempered air stream is equal to or greater than the velocity of the untempered air stream.
