Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a source outlet for introducing cold and / or warm supply air into a room with an inlet, which connects to an air duct system, and an adjoining housing shell, which is provided with a multiplicity of holes, an outlet disk on the housing shell Connects outlet openings, the clear width of which can be changed and wherein the outlet disk is assigned a throttle disk, the throttle disk being provided with openings which change the clear width of the outlet openings when the throttle disk is rotated about a common axis with the outlet disk,
  • Such source outlets are known in many forms and designs. Above all, they serve to prevent supply air from being thrown into a room, as is the case, for example, with swirl outlets or outlets with slits.
  • Such diffusers differ in that the supply air virtually oozes out through the large number of holes in the housing jacket, and drafts are avoided in any case. Therefore, such source outlets are used for the introduction of cold air in the ceiling area, while they are arranged for the introduction of warm air on the floor.
  • DE 37 43 579 (A1) shows an outlet, in particular a ceiling outlet for warm and / or cold air, in which the air is fed into an enclosure via an inlet.
  • This housing has a base plate with cutouts for venting the air. The width of these recesses can be changed if necessary.
  • an air passage is known from EP 0 401 481, which has a perforated jacket. This passage is provided with a bottom, which has closable air passage openings. These air passage openings are optionally opened or closed continuously by a segment disk.
  • An air outlet for ventilation and / or air conditioning systems is known from DE-OS 26 50 413. This is provided with a cylindrical housing, which has an end wall with air openings at the end. These air openings can be partially or completely closed by means of a shut-off device. In addition, isolated support jet blow-out openings are provided in the edge area, which permanently bring air to the outside.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a source outlet, which improves both the introduction of cold air and warm air from the ceiling area.
  • perforations are provided at least partially in the throttle disk and / or outlet disk, which are released when the throttle disk is rotated accordingly.
  • a throttle disk is preferably provided within the source outlet, which is also populated with openings. These openings preferably coincide with the outlet openings, and of course both the geometric configuration of these openings and their arrangement can be selected as desired.
  • perforations in the throttle disk or in the outlet disk which can be released by a corresponding rotation of the throttle disk.
  • these perforations are provided on a fixed strip of the throttle disc near the openings. This makes it possible to adjust the source outlet so that a certain part of the amount of air can escape downward as source air, so that the total area of the source outlet is actually used for one source air outlet. This has the great advantage that a very large amount of air can be introduced into a room without drafts and without any problems.
  • this is the area distant from a center point of the outlet disk.
  • direct passages are formed in the area near the center through which air can flow directly downwards.
  • this occurs with a lower penetration depth.
  • the air flow with a lower penetration depth means that Air swelling out of the perforations is quickly introduced into the room, although the perforations in turn create a large number of small induction zones which lead to a mixing of the air.
  • the throttle disk forms an insert in the housing jacket together with an annular jacket.
  • This insert is rotatably connected to the outlet disc, and the rotation can be done manually or via a corresponding servomotor. Many possibilities are conceivable here and are intended to be encompassed by the invention.
  • Outlet slots are preferably punched into the ring jacket.
  • the ring jacket extends only over a smaller part of the height of the housing jacket with the holes.
  • These outlet slots have the advantage that they impart a swirl and an acceleration to the emerging supply air, through which the supply air flows horizontally out of the outlet at a higher speed.
  • the supply air especially cold air, is routed across a larger area approximately horizontally along a ceiling and only then sinks into the room. This is a very significant advantage of the present invention.
  • the air that swells out of the housing jacket above the outlet slots cannot sink directly downward, but is carried along by the air that swells out at a higher speed and is guided to the outside.
  • the overall shape of the source outlet is also of minor importance, it can be round, angular, roman or the like.
  • the outlet according to the invention can be used in both low and very high rooms, and when used in low rooms it generally serves as a source outlet.
  • this outlet can be continuously covered from 20% to 60% on the side, so that this outlet can also be attached to round or square columns, walls, etc.
  • the amount of air supplied to the outlet should preferably be controlled by a preliminary shut-off valve, which can be adjusted from below.
  • a known volume flow controller is also possible, as described, for example, in DE-OS 39 17 360.
  • a source outlet Q according to the invention has gem.
  • Fig. 2 has a funnel-shaped inlet 1 for warm or cold supply air, which passes through the inlet 1 into an interior 2 of the source outlet Q.
  • the funnel-shaped inlet 1 connects, not shown in more detail, to a corresponding air duct system.
  • the funnel-shaped inlet 1 has an annular collar 3 with which it is placed on a housing jacket 4 of the source outlet Q.
  • This housing jacket 4 is provided with a multiplicity of holes 5.
  • a supply air located in the interior 2 can emerge approximately horizontally through these holes 5. It “swells" from the multitude of Holes 5 out, which gives this outlet the name "source outlet”.
  • outlet disk 6 which in turn is placed on the housing jacket 4 via an annular collar 7.
  • outlet openings 8 are preferably arranged which, as shown in FIG. 1, run away from a center M of the outlet disk 6 in a star shape. In the present exemplary embodiment, these outlet openings 8 have a rectangular or square shape, but a large number of other geometric shapes are also conceivable.
  • insert 9 which has an annular jacket 10 and a throttle disk 11. The insert 9 is connected to the outlet disk 6 so that in particular the throttle disk 11 can be rotated about an axis A with respect to the outlet disk 6.
  • a screw 12 with a lock nut 13 connects the outlet disk 6 to the throttle disk 11.
  • the screw 12 thus sits in the center M of the outlet disk 6.
  • the insert 9 can be placed in the interior 2 by Axis A can be rotated.
  • the throttle plate 11 is also provided with corresponding openings 14, which correspond approximately to the outlet openings 8 in their width, the clear width of the outlet openings 8 can hereby be adjusted.
  • part of a remaining strip 15 is preferably provided with perforations 16, from which supply air can also flow out. The distribution of these perforations on the corresponding openings 14 or outlet openings 8 is done as desired.
  • This configuration has the advantage that in any case a certain part of the air volume is also downward as source air can escape, which means that large amounts of air can be introduced into a room without any draft.
  • only the outer openings 14 are provided with stationary parts with perforations 16, while the inner openings 14 around the center M have no such strips with perforations. This creates a suitable outflow zone, which means that the supply air only reaches a certain depth. This is of great advantage when cold air is supplied. The cold air exits through the perforations 16 and the small passages 17 near the center M only as source air or air with a low penetration depth.
  • the outlet openings 8 are opened as far as possible, so that the air can escape with a very large depth of penetration.
  • the strips 15 and the perforations create a large number of small induction zones which immediately mix the inflowing air. This is absolutely desirable in the case of warm air, because it ensures that rooms are heated up very quickly and that the warm air also comes deep into a lounge area. This avoids long heating times and, above all, annoying cold air lakes, which could possibly form in the bottom of a room. The short heating-up times save an enormous amount of energy.
  • the ring jacket 10 should also be provided with outlet slots 18.
  • These outlet slots 18 are preferably stamped into the ring jacket 10 and are formed obliquely, so that a swirl is also given to air which then emerges through the housing jacket 4 or the holes 5.
  • Source outlet Q is flung away, so that, for example, cold air is brought very far along a ceiling until it can sink into the room from above. Drafts are avoided in any case. The call air also does not fall directly from the source outlet.
  • outlet slots 18 arranged just above the outlet disk 6 have the advantage that the escaping air intercepts the swelling air emerging above the holes 5 and takes them out along a ceiling.
  • a source outlet Q1 in accordance with FIG. 4, is particularly useful if, as shown in FIG. 4, this outlet is set up near a wall 19 or unhooked. Furthermore, the insert 9 is missing from this outlet.
  • the strips 15a are also not provided with perforations.
  • Stiffening rings 20 can be provided inside the jellyfish outlet Q1. Depending on requirements, it is also possible to design these stiffening rings with a different width b or b1, in which case these stiffening rings 20 also act as deflection plates. It is also possible that an additional perforated plate of different diameters is located inside the stiffening rings 20.
  • an outlet can be connected to the housing jacket 4 in a further exemplary embodiment of a swelling outlet Q2 according to FIGS. 5 and 6, as is known from DE-OS 37 43 579.
