- FIG. 1 diagramatically illustrates apparatus embodying the invention.
- Figure 2 illustrates a first arrangement for use with the apparatus of Figure 1 ,
- FIG. 3 illustrates a modified form of the arrangement of Figure 2
- Figure 4 illustrates schematically a first enclosure embodying the invention, in the form of a marquee
- Figure 5 illustrates schematically a second enclosure embodying the invention, in the form of a cloche.
- Figure 1 shows an arrangement embodying the invention to include a transparent acrylic or other suitable plastics material panel 10 formed of two outer layers 12 and 14 spaced apart by a number of interconnecting webs 16 defining a plurality of fluid tight passageways 18 extending the length (or breadth) of the panel 10.
- a transparent acrylic or other suitable plastics material panel 10 formed of two outer layers 12 and 14 spaced apart by a number of interconnecting webs 16 defining a plurality of fluid tight passageways 18 extending the length (or breadth) of the panel 10.
- the passageways 18 are coupled in groups to various manifolds 20A, 20B, 20C and 20D and each manifold is coupled to an electrically operable flow control valve 22A, 22B, 22C f 22D.
- valves 22 are coupled to receive the output 24 of a fluid pump 26.
- the input to pump 26, shown at 28, is taken from a reservoir 30 containing a fluid 32.
- the fluid may with advantage be a liquid such as water.
- the ends of the passageways 18 remote from the valves 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, are coupled to a fluid return line 33 carrying fluid passing from those passageways back to reservoir 30.
- valves 22 are coupled to receive outputs of temperature sensing devices 34A, 34B, 34C and 34D respectively.
- valve 22A, 22B, 22C or 22D When energised by an output from its associated temperature sensors 34A, 34B, 34C or 34D a valve 22A, 22B, 22C or 22D will open.
- the temperature sensors may take any suitable form.
- the sensors 34 are coupled to a power supply 36. Each of the sensors 34 is set to operate - provide an output energising its associated valve to open - at a different temperature. Furthermore, the temperatures at which they operate are selected such that sensor 34A will operate at a first temperature, sensor 34B will operate at a second temperature greater than the first, sensor 34C will operate at a third temperature greater than the second and sensor 34D will operate at a fourth temperature greater than the third.
- temperature sensor 34A may be set to provide an output to its associated valve 22A at 20°C
- sensor 34B may be set to provide an output opening valve 22B at a temperature of say 23 C
- sensor 34C may be set to provide an output opening valve 22C at say 26°C
- sensor 34D may be set to provide an output opening valve 24C at say 29 C and so on for each of the valves 22 and sensor 34 associated therewith.
- the temperature sensors 34A, 34B, 34C and 34D operate in cascade mode - that is to say the first of them (34A) will begin to operate at a temperature lower than that at which the second and then subsequently the third will begin to operate. It will further be seen that the outputs of the temperature sensors 34A, 34B, 34C and 34D are operable to energise a relay 40 (via diode 42A, 42B, 42C and 42D and resistors 44A, 44B, 44C and 44D respectively) coupling the pump 26 to the power supply 36.
- This arrangement provides that as soon as the temperature sensor device 34A is operable to open the valve 22A - that is to say the temperature at which the system is set to start operation - pump 26 is energised to pump fluid from reservoir 30 to the passageways 18 coupled to the valve 22A.
- pump 26 will pump fluid to the passageways coupled to both valves 22A and 22B. If the temperature further increases valves 22C and then 22D will open allowing fluid to flow through the passageways is associated with those valves.
- pump 26 is capable of supplying sufficient fluid to pass through each of the passageways 18 in panel 10 should all the valves be open at the same time.
- the outputs of the sensors 34A, 34B, 34C and 34D in addition to controlling operation of their associated valves 22A, 22B, 22C and 22D, are used to increase the current input to pump 36 - the respective outputs of the sensors 34A, 34B, 34C and 34D being fed via the resistors 42A, 42B, 42C and 42D and diodes 44A, 44B, 44C and 44D to form the electrical supply to the pump as shown.
- the electrical current to pump 36 is increased as more passageways 18 are opened (by the opening of their associated valve, (22) thus providing that more fluid may be pumped through the panel.
- Arrangements embodying the invention may be used in many different ways.
- the arrangement may be operated in a reverse mode - that is to say the temperature sensors may be operable at successively lower temperatures to pump a generally dark, heat attracting fluid through the passageways - in this way the arrangement may be used to draw heat to an area shaded by it.
- each of the groups of passageways associated with the fluid control valves receive fluid from a separate reservoir via a separate pump (again energised by the temperature sensing devices acting in a cascade manner) - the fluid in each of the reservoirs being differently coloured to provide the effect already described.
- One particularly advantageous arrangement which is envisaged is the provision of the readily mountable and demountable building formed on a number of members arranged as a framework. To the members would be mounted a plurality of panels 10 each as described with reference to Figure 1 , perhaps with some of the panels coupled to one another to form a larger, composite, panel as required.
- each of the panels would then be coupled to receive the outputs of a plurality of pumps each drawing fluid from a different reservoir - the fluids in the different reservoirs possibly being of different colours.
- the walls and roof of a building could, as the temperature sensors associated with the pumps begin to operate, become differently coloured. It is believed that such an arrangement - particular as it provides for the ready and systematised approach to the construction of the building is of particular advantage and could be used on any occasion when a large marquee might be used - the building being readily assembled and then, after use, disassembled as required.
- the arrangement shown in Figure 4 shows such an arrangement to comprise a plurality of panels 100 each having substantially the form of a panel 10 as described above.
- the panels 100 form the walls and roof of an enclosure in the form of a marquee.
- the panels 100 are mounted in a framework comprising a number of frame elements which act both to support the panels 100 and as conduits for fluid to be passed to and from those panels from a fluid supply means 102.
- each panel 100 extend generally vertically (in tie walls) and at an angle to the horizontal (in the roof) of the marquee.
- the fluid supply to the uppermost panels in the 100A in the roof of the marquee is via a frame element 106 forming the ridge of the framework/marquee.
- Fluid from frame element 106 passes generally downwardly through the panels 100A and out of those panels to frame elements 1 8 positioned as shown.
- frame elements 108 act to supply fluid to a second tier of panels 100B forming the roof of the marquee. Fluid passing from panels 100B is returned to the fluid supply means via frame elements 110 at the top of the side walls of the marquee, which further act to pass fluid to panels 100C forming the upper parts of the side walls of the marquee. As illustrated the side walls are divided by further frame elements 112 which act to pass fluid from panels 100C and supply fluid to panels 100D forming the lowermost part of the side walls of the marquee. Fluid passing from panels 100D is returned to the fluid supply means via frame elements 114 at the base of the side walls.
- the gable end of the marquee shown in Figure 4 is provided with a panel 116 which is triangular in form and receives fluid via frame elements 118 physically coupled to and running across the ends of the elements 106, 108 and 110 and passes fluid to a frame element 120 similar to the frame elements 110.
- the end wall of the marquee is completed by panels 100E and 100F similar to panels 100C and 100D and supported by the frame elements 120 and by frame elements 122 and 124 similar to the frame elements 112 and 1 1 4 .
- the marquee is provided with an aperture 126 in one end wall which may considered as an open portal or be provided with a door of standard form if desired.
- Each frame element 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 118, 120, 122 and 124 is individually coupled to the fluid supply means 102 which may be operated to supply fluid at different rates to different ones of the panels 100 (for example applying more fluid to cool the side of the enclosure in direct sunlight), and/or to supply differently coloured fluids to different one of the panels (so that a pleasing or striking appearance is perceived as individuals approach the enclosure).
- the fluid passed to the different panels forming the enclosure may be transparent or coloured as desired and may be more or less opaque as desired to enhance the screening effect as it passes through the passageways in the panels.
- the fluid supply means passing fluid to those panels may also include means operable to heat and/or cool the fluid so that the enclosure is heated and/or cooled as desired.
- the flow of fluid through the panels may be reduced to an extent, say, that the passageways are no more than half full at any time.
- the rate of supply of fluid to the passageways may be increased until they are completely full of liquid - before it is necessary to increase the extent to which the fluid is heated or cooled.
- Another advantage of operating in this way is that the weight of the enclosure may be, if desired, significantly reduced - the weight of the fluid in the passageways of the panels being directly proportional to the volume of the fluid there is there at any time.
- frame elements 108, 112 and 122 may be omitted and the roof be formed by a plurality of panels extending the combined length of panels 100A and 100B, the side walls be formed by a plurality of panels extending the combined length of panels 100C and 10OD and the end walls be formed by a plurality of panels extending the combined length of panels 100E and 100F. Whilst such an arrangement has possible advantages it will be less controllable by a user to effect any desired shading, heating and/or cooling or screening.
- the end walls of the enclosure may be simply provided as structural elements.
- the enclosure of Figure 4 may be of any devised size and used as a greenhouse, free standing conservatory or the like.
- Figure 5 illustrates another enclosure embodying the present invention and in the form of a cloche formed of three panels, two of which, shown at 130, act as side walls for the cloche whilst the third
- the passageways 134 and 136 in the panels 130 and 132 respectively extend generally horizontally.
- the panels are supported in a framework comprising simple support members 148 coupling the upper edges of the panels 130 and the side edges of the roof panel 132 and by end frame elements 150 which are generally as shown and which are operable to pass fluid to and from each of the panels 130 and 132.
- the ends of the cloche are open.
- fluid may be passed from one of the end members 150 through the panels 130 and 132 to the other end member 150 and that the cloche can be used to shade plants or seedling beneath it.
- Fluid passed to one end member 150 of the cloche is taken via a heater and/or cooler device shown at 152 in a fluid supply means 154 incorporating a reservoir 156.
- the cloche may be used to force crops if desired by providing device 152 heats fluid passed to the cloche and in this way the temperature of plants or seedling beneath the cloche will be raised ensuring their quicker development.
- the arrangement may also be used, if desired, to check the growth of plants or seedlings by providing that device 152 cools fluid passing therethrough. To enhance this effect it is possible for fluid passed to the cloche to act to shade plants as well as cooling them, for a given period of the day. In this way, cloche may be used to extend the period in which a crop may be harvested - by forcing plants for an early crop and checking plants to delay their growth in response to both temperature and hours of sunlight falling upon them.
- the panels 130 and 132 may be individually coupled to the fluid supply means 154 and provided with different rates of fluid supply, differently coloured fluids and with fluids which are heated and/or cooled to different extents. It will be appreciated the enclosures shown in
- FIGS 4 and 5 are simply two examples of uses to which the arrangement disclosed above may be put.
- embodiments of the invention may provide arrangements which are permanently mounted on a building or a vehicle and which may be moved between a first position in which they are inoperative to a second position in which they are operative to provide desired screening, heating and/or cooling, or shading.
- Such arrangements are of particular utility in for example vehicles which are taken to exhibitions (where the arrangement would be folded against the side of the vehicle whilst the vehicle was moving and not on the exhibition site and then extended to form an awning once the vehicle was on site) or when attached to a permanent building to allow a householder to put up and down an awning as desired.
- the members used to support the panels in the arrangements of Figures 4 and 5 act, it will be appreciated, as manifolds for supplying fluid to and taking fluid from the panels.
- the support members which supply fluid to the panels may be provided with outlets in the form of small spigots or jets positioned to direct the fluid onto the lowermost wall of the passageway (or an outer wall if the panel is mounted vertically).
- the volume required to cover a wall is less than may otherwise be the case and the weight of the complete structure - when fluid is passing through it - is reduced.
- the panels can be formed with integral supply manifolds - manifolds which form part of the panels.
- fluid supply to these manifolds may be, if desired, via one or more of the passageways themselves.
- the complexity of the fluid supply to the various panels forming the structure may be reduced and the overall aesthetic appearance of the structure enhanced.
- the inner surfaces of the passageways may be coated with materials, which when not in contact with the fluid being used, are transparent but which, when in contact with that fluid, adopt a particular translucent colouring (e.g. green, blue, red or the like).
- a particular translucent colouring e.g. green, blue, red or the like.
- the colour selected may be chosen to enhance the cooling effect of the structure if desired.
- the fluid used may be opaque or translucent or reflective or cause material painted on the inner surfaces of the passageways to be so.
- the degree or cooling and/or shading may be controlled in response to the difference in temperature on either side of the structure and not simply the temperature on one side thereof.
- passageways in the panels 10, 100 are all generally linear, however, it will be appreciated, that if desired, those passageways may be of any sinuous or curvilinear form a user may desire.
- the panels 10, 100 are generally planar, however, it will be appreciated that their shape may be curved in one or two dimensions.
