Abstract

Processes and devices for confining, retaining and sucking off vapors, fumes, dust or similar materials including dispersed or dissolved vapor particles in a fluid medium. In order to separate these pollution particles, a fluid boundary layer or front is generated by diverting a jet against a boundary surface. The curved jet forms a vortex flow retaining the particles and transports them to the suction surfaces. The process and device are especially useful for exhaust hoods in the kitchen field and in the field of clean rooms, furthermore, in those fields, where fluid media with different characteristics are to be separated, confined and suctioned off.

Description

Process for limiting, detecting and extracting haze, dust or the like, and device for carrying out the process

The invention relates to a method and a device for restricting, detecting and suctioning off haze, dust, steam and the like. Fluid media which occur at kitchen stoves, cooking areas and industrial workplaces. However, in a broader sense, the invention can also be used for the detection and suction of other fluid media, e.g. Solutions, dispersions or suspensions can be used. In particular, the invention relates to extractor hoods for use in kitchen technology and in clean room technology.

Vapors, dusts, vapors and the like generally represent contaminants which are extracted from a fluid medium, in particular air, by suction through a filter, e.g. Extractor hoods from which the media flow is to be removed. These substances often occur in very fast and turbulent flows. A pure intake flow is generally unsuitable for detecting such flows, since it is not able to deflect and suck off a turbulent flow in terms of strength, structure or stability. For this reason, the suction volume flow is chosen to be considerably larger than the contaminant volume flow, or a large suction screen is used which has a high suction capacity.

From DE-PS 39 18 870 C2 a method for improving the intake flow field of an extractor hood is known. A free jet directed downwards and a wall jet directed towards the suction surface interact with one another to produce a front vortex, the flow field of which is to produce an aerodynamic wall around the extractor hood.

DE 42 03 916 Cl provides a method for designing the blowing flow according to DE 39 18 870 in such a way that it is designed with a higher intrinsic stability and helically and Continues the front swivel on the sides of the extractor hood. A disadvantage of both of the above methods is in particular the complex structure of a double slot nozzle for the production of the front swirl and the wall jet and the problem of deriving the front swirl at the corners of the extractor hoods

DE 33 04 262 C2 results in a recirculation hood which forms an air curtain around the sides of an extractor hood. As is apparent from the shingles of such an air curtain, no sharp front is produced here. In particular, such a recirculation hood is to be further developed and improved with the present invention

The term "front" is known from meteorology as a boundary between different air masses. A front is a strongly convergent flow area on which extreme gradients, for example of temperature or humidity, preferably in the vicinity of boundary surfaces such as the ground or Such a front is also produced in the case of the present invention as a flow area between the extractor section and the outlet area of the extractor hood

The object of the invention is to improve the intake flow field on a fume hood for vapors, dusts and plastics so that vapors, steam and / or dust and ambient air are separated from one another and a front is created in the process

This is achieved according to the invention with a method according to the characterizing part of claim 1 and with an extractor hood with the features of the characterizing part of claim 13. Further refinements of the invention are the subject of the subclaims

For this purpose, a blowing jet emerging in the area of the front edge of the hood is deflected into a movement directed toward the intake surface and into a vortex or a curved shear flow or shear layer formed. Ideally, a vortex consists of a rigidly rotating core which is surrounded by a shear layer or shear flow. It is crucial for the generation of a front that this shear flow can build up a convergent flow field that generates the front if the flow hits a wall or a counterflow. Both front vortices and vortex or shear flows are generated with the invention, and devices are proposed which build a front formed on the underside of the extractor hood in a more stable and effective manner and also generate helical intake flows.

The deflection of a beam to achieve a curved eddy or shear flow is achieved in different ways according to the present invention.

1 . A direct suction effect acts on a jet. The jet is blown out at the front edge of the hood into the area below the hood and deflected to the underside of the hood by a gap suction device formed deeper in the inner edge area of the hood. The optimal orientation of the jet depends on the strength and the distance of the edge suction from the blow slot. The beam is expediently oriented at an angle of + / - 30 ° to the vertical in order to achieve a perfect generation of a front vortex and a front. The opening of the suction slot is provided towards the center of the hood. In the simplest embodiment, the outlet opening and suction opening are separated from one another by a straight surface, the distance depending on the radius of curvature. The suction speed is of the order of magnitude of the blow-out speed and is e.g. 3-5 m / sec. The induction slot can be preceded by a trough, which serves as a collecting trough and as a deflection device for the aspirated free jet and the vapor elements entrained by this free jet.

2. The beam deflection is caused by the effect of the Coanda effect on a wall jet over a curved surface or by obliquely blowing out on a flat surface Flat achieved. The curved suction effect acting on a free jet can also be generated by the free jet itself by blowing out over a curved surface. Such a beam adheres to the curved surface and is deflected up to 240 °. This effect is known as the Coanda effect and produces an eddy current or shear flow. The curved surface partially or wholly takes on the function of a vortex core. If a trailing edge is provided in the curvature, a vortex can be generated at this trailing edge. The beam is directed outwards via a circular profile or a partial circular profile and generates a flow there, which is directed towards the inside of the hood on the underside of the hood. In order that such a wall jet adheres better to a curved surface, boundary layer suction can be provided in the separation areas of the flow from the surface.

Another way to give a beam a curvilinear course is to blow it out at an angle α to the exit direction onto a slanted plate, a correspondingly inclined profile or a curvature if the beam is at an angle of 0 <α <50 ° puts on the plate. This is possible in the case of a flowing plate for the specified angular range. The jet is applied at a distance of 5 - 30% of the thickness of the blow-out slot behind the slot at an angle of 25 ° <α <30 °

Another possibility of the beam deflection is that the blowing out takes place on a straight surface in the tangential direction, ie that α = 0 ° and the jet is a wall jet. This straight surface is followed by a curvature or a profile in order to generate a corresponding flow. For example, a semicircular, segment-shaped, profiled or otherwise curved piece between the vertical blowing jet and the horizontal wall jet of a nozzle according to DE 39 18 870 C2 used, the Effect of the method according to the invention improved, since the core of the front vortex generated does not have to be built up or only partially. Therefore, a larger proportion of the jet can be converted into a vortex flow that generates a front.

3. Another possibility of beam deflection results from the fact that a free jet emerging at the front edge of the hood is directed against a profile in such a way that the beam is deflected in the direction toward the underside of the hood and towards the inside of the hood, thereby producing a curved vortex or shear flow. This beam deflection to the underside of the hood corresponds to the effect of an aircraft slat which, at high angles of attack, directs the flow towards the airfoil profile.

4. A fourth possibility of the beam deflection is that the generation of a front vortex or a front vortex-like flow according to the above options 2. and 3. optionally with an edge suction according to 1. is combined, in which case surface suction can be dispensed with.

If several fans are used for one extractor hood, either all fans can be used in the extraction mode and part of the exhaust air can be branched off for the jet, or separate fans can be used for the extraction or fans for the blow-out. The former method is self-evident when using a single blower, with the disadvantage in exhaust air operation that the amount of air for the jet depends on the line resistance of the exhaust air line. In this case, the ratio of jet volume flow to exhaust air volume flow should be adjusted by throttling in the exhaust air duct and in the blown air duct, depending on the exhaust air duct used, so that this method is suitable for hoods in recirculation mode, with the intake air being divided into the blast jet and the circulating air flow; the air can be blown out into the area above the hood similar to normal air circulation hoods.

In the second case, throttles can be omitted because a distinction is made between the suction blower and the blower for jet and front generation, which is referred to as a vortex blower. A vortex blower sucks, but blows out through the blowout slot. The corresponding volume flow is device-specific. A vortex blower can be extracted via a surface filter as well as via the edge suction or from the environment above the hood, and a suction blower can be operated via both suction devices.

The intake flow field can be improved by appropriate structural designs. One possibility is to homogenize the flow. If the basic hood shape is in the form of a segment of a circle, an ellipsoid segment or has a differently shaped, curved shape, the front vortex is continuous and is not disturbed by corners or sharp edges which are only present on the wall connections of the extractor hood. A ring-shaped, closed basic shape without lateral limitation and disturbance of the front vortex is particularly suitable for island extractor hoods. This applies in principle to all suction processes that work with a vortex flow or a front vortex to create a front along the front edge of the hood.

In the case of angular or rectangular extractor hoods with edge extraction, it is expedient to partially interrupt the suction flow in order to obtain U-vortex-shaped suction cells and to increase the front length. The width of these interruptions is on the order of two to twenty times the thickness of the suction slot, while the length of the suction openings is on the order of two to thirty times the thickness of the suction slot. The length of the interruptions and openings along the suction edge can either be the same size throughout or can be different. In extractor hoods and similar extraction hoods without edge extraction, the flow directed towards the filter surface can be structured by tongue-shaped or wave-shaped configurations of the suction surface.At the points where a tongue is positioned closer to the edge of the hood, a convergence area arises, whereas at the points where there is one There is a gap between two adjacent tongues, a divergence area is created on the underside of the hood. Each tongue is assigned a pair of longitudinal vertebrae, which rotates from the adjacent gaps on the underside of the hood towards the tongue and suction

If a blowing flow is used in a hood producing a front, this can be formed by an additional corrugation of the hood edge and the blow-out slot. This is done in such a way that the flow at the deflection on the front of the hood receives a component to the center line of the bulge. The bulges or wave crests are convergence areas, the trough divergence areas below the hood. This creates long eddies in the current.

In a special embodiment of an extractor hood according to the invention with a Coanda effect and a rectangular hood base surface, it has proven to be expedient to move the outlet opening inwards away from the front edge of the hood (towards the center of the hood) in order to draw the jet under the stem onto the front half space below limit the hood. In comparison to a blow-out opening directly at the front edge of the hood, this increases the suction effect of the jet. The distance for this is, for example, 50 mm in a special embodiment. As a rule, it is sufficient to blow out only at the front of the hood, whereby the blow-out slot is, for example, 4 - 5 mm, the blow-out speed is, for example, 2 - 3 m / sec and the pipe diameter is, for example, 38 mm. The side limits of the blow-over pipe are formed Long swirls that suppress the escape of the vapor at the side edges of the hood. So that a perfect and good effect of these longitudinal swirls is achieved, they should also be arranged under a shield. The end of the blow-out slot and the pipe must therefore also be spaced from the side edges by about 50 mm. In recirculation mode, it is expedient to let the part of the recirculation air that is not blown out through the curvature exit slowly and over a large area. This exit point must be provided as far away as possible from the front of the hood, since this flow can also have a suction effect on the steam, as a result of which the hood operation is significantly impaired

According to a further special embodiment of the invention, the extractor hood is designed in such a way that two or more blow jets, each with a device producing a curved shear flow, are provided, which work in parallel with one another, a blow jet being divided into two separate jets inside the extractor hood, which overlap at the edge of the hood in their lateral curvature area, such that the outer curved wall is shorter than the inner curved wall, so that two spaced-apart shear flows are achieved

A special embodiment of the invention relates to a Coanda swirl hood, in which the blow-out opening is displaced or spaced from the front edge of the hood, which means that the suction effect of the jet under the stem is limited to the half-space, and that compared to a blow-out opening directly at the Hood leading edge the suction effect of the jet is increased. It is sufficient to blow out only on the front of the hood. Long vortices are formed on the lateral boundaries of the overblown tube, which prevent the vapor from escaping at the side edges of the hood - in comparable known arrangements, these long vortices were produced by special deflection devices. For a good design of these long vortices, it is crucial that they are below a Shielding. The end of the blow-out slot and the pipe must therefore also be provided at a distance from the side edges. In recirculation mode, it is advisable to let the part of the recirculation air that is not blown out via the curvature out as slowly and over a large area as possible Front edge of the hood must be spaced, since this flow can also have a suction effect on the vapor or steam, which would degrade the function of the hood

A further embodiment of the invention relates to a combination of frontal swirls with edge suction, whereby an improvement in the suction effect is achieved. In frontal swirl hoods with edge suction, a distinction is made between blowing edges and suction edges of an extractor hood. The blowing edge is an edge that is blown out to create a frontal flow directed towards the suction openings. A suction edge is an edge at which suction is carried out. The edges of an extractor hood can be blowing edges, blowing and suction edges, suction edges or just side edges (without function as blowing or suction edges).

The edge suction works either with a strip-shaped flat filter at the edge or a slot at the edge, the filter being arranged behind this slot.

Often, with extractor hoods, the constructional effort to attach a device for producing a front vortex along all hood edges or along the entire hood circumference is not justified.In these cases, only a hood edge or part of the hood circumference is provided with blow-out openings. The edge extraction is expediently designed so that a very high suction speed in the order of magnitude of the blowing flow is generated along a gap. The channel widens to keep the air speed as low as possible when flowing through the filter. However, a wall-shaped suction on the edges instead of the slit suction is also possible. An improvement in the flow at the corners or at the end of the blow-out devices for producing a frontal vortex is achieved according to the invention by a) profiling the blow-out device, b) boundary layer suction, c) suitable positioning of the suction surfaces, d) using an adhesive jet e) using a vortex tube

The blow-out flow of a frontal vortex hood is no longer “quasi-two-dimensional” at the lateral boundaries of the blow-out slots. Experience shows that the flow there is no longer as good as the lower edge of the hood and is sometimes directed downwards. Around the flow To make the corners fit as well as possible and to make them more stable, the following precautions can be taken. The surface of the overflowed curvature is profiled increasingly flat at the end of the blow-out opening, so that the tendency of the flow to detach is increasingly reduced by this shape. This corresponds to the locking of a wing, in which the angle of the profile decreases towards the outside or the profile shape changes to the outside (geometric and aerodynamic locking). In the case of a freely flowing profile body, this locking can take place according to the profile of the wing ice.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a flow around the tube is provided, in which the profiling takes place on the outside as a straight continuation of a tangent to the curvature, while this continuation is increasingly shortened inside the blow-out device. The transition to the pipe is modernized as smoothly as possible

According to a further method, lateral suction openings near the ends of the blow-out device are provided for lateral stabilization of the flow. A boundary layer suction can be carried out at the ends of the blow-out device.

Another alternative is to blow out a second wall jet, which acts in conjunction with a flow around the pipe as an adhesive jet. This corresponds to a double jet principle. The tube has an inlet for the air of the adhesive jet on the side inside the hood. A slot is formed below the hood, from which the adhesive jet emerges. This adhesive jet can be directed inwards by appropriate positioning of the inlet and outlet openings and by deflecting devices.

The continuation of the frontal vortex or the curved shear flow via an additionally generated longitudinal vortex at the ends of the blow-out device represents a further alternative. The stabilization of the blow flow by means of setting, boundary layer suction near the suction surface or by means of an adhesive jet can also be carried out at other critical points in the Insert blow-out device.

The invention also proposes a suction device in the form of a so-called vortex tube, in which a radial and an axial flow are brought together more and more, as a result of which this flow is formed into a rotating jet when it emerges. Such a flow is suitable as a continuation of a blow-out flow. An eddy current can be arranged on the outside of a pipe with flow around it. The tube also forms the air supply for the vortex tube. The air for the vortex tube also comes from the blowing space of the hood and passes through the opening in the tube via the inlet into the vortex tube. The jet flowing out of the outlet opening is directed towards the suction surfaces. If the exit of the vortex tube is not formed centrally in the truncated cone, the exit follows below the hood base. However, the vortex tube can also be directed obliquely downwards into the space below the hood base, and the truncated cone, which serves to converge the flow, can point in the desired direction. The The direction of rotation of the frontal vertebra and the longitudinal vertebra is such that the longitudinal vertebra is a continuation of the frontal vertebra at the corners. A vortex tube is particularly suitable for continuing the frontal flow structure on the sides of square hoods. However, it can also be used in the case of half-ring-shaped hoods, it being possible for the flow around the hollow body, for example a tube, to pass into a vortex tube.

Further options for making the flow on the sides of the extractor hood more stable are achieved by gradually reducing the thickness of the outlet gap towards the outside, so that the ratio of gap thickness to radius of curvature decreases. It is known from studies of the Coanda effect that the smaller this ratio, the greater the deflection angle of the flow. Another method is to increase the radius of the flow around the circular profile with a constant thickness of the blow-out slot to the outside. The overblown profile or the type of blow-out above the blow-out device must allow the flow to remain in contact for a longer period. The profiling of the blow-out device mentioned above also follows this principle. Basically, the blow-out device must therefore be restricted in a suitable manner, e.g. by profiling or analogous to the geometric setting on an aircraft wing.

According to FIG. 1, a front 1 around an extractor hood, the underside of which is designated 8, is generated by a front vortex 2, while in FIG. 2 the front 1 is generated by a curved shear or vortex flow 3. 1 and 2 show the difference in an extractor hood arrangement between a front vortex 2 and a curved shear or vortex flow 3, as occurs when flowing around a curved surface 4. The schematic flow profiles 5 (Fig. 1) and 6 (Fig. 2) show that the core 48 of the front vortex 2 rotates rigidly and adjoins a shear layer 7 towards the outside, and that when flowing around a curvature surface 4, which in the case of Fig 2 has a circular profile with the same radius as the core 48 of the front vortex 2, a boundary layer 49 occurs, which is followed by a shear layer 7 away from the wall around which it flows. The two flow areas 7 and 49 are separated in FIG. 2 by a dashed line. The shear layers 7 correspond in their effect. In cooperation with the underside of the hood 8, a convergent flow that generates a front 1 is created. The front 1 is dynamic, it is caused by a vortex or shear flow.

3, the generation of a front vortex 2 and a front 1 is shown by means of an edge suction through the suction slot 10. The front vortex 2 is thereby by deflecting one on the hood front side 1 3 emerging free jet 9 generated. The profile 12 shows that the intake flow 1 1 passes into the shear layer 7 of the front vortex 2 in front of the intake slot 10. FIG. 4 shows an extractor hood with a hood front corresponding to FIG. 3, but with an additional extraction trough 50 and an extraction through a surface filter 25. The steam, vapor or the like is either detected by the suction section 10 of the edge extraction and by the Edge filter 51 suctioned off or pushed back on the hood bottom and suctioned off by a flat filter 25. The blown air flow is indicated by dashed lines at 60 and the escaping circulating air at 26. 27 denotes the blow-out slot through which the blown air 60 leaves the hood. In the case of an extractor hood with a blower 52 or a plurality of blowers, from which the blown air is branched off, the necessary blower volume flow can be set in the exhaust air mode with the aid of throttles 32, 33 in the exhaust air line 54 and in the blow duct 1 5. Such an extractor hood is only used for circulating air mode , adjustable throttles 32, 33 can be omitted. The air sucked in via the filter 25 either exits as recirculating air 26 through one or more slots 58 or as blowing air 60 through the exhaust slot 27. The ratio of circulating air 60 to blowing air 26 is determined by appropriately dimensioning the slots 58 and 27

In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the blown air 15 flows out of the blow-out duct along a curved surface 14 in the form of an edge suction and forms the front 1. The curved surface 14 has openings 16 which improve the adhesion of the jet by boundary layer suction, thus under the Larger deflections become possible under the influence of destabilizing haze currents

In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, the blown air is blown out of the blown air duct 1 5 via an inclined plate 1 7 at the angle α to the blow-out direction. The curved shear or vortex flow generated is indicated by 3. A tear-off edge 18 is provided here generates a swirl 19 which acts on the front 1 A variant of the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 is shown in FIG. 7. Here, the blown air emerges from the blown air duct via a flat surface 53 as a wall jet 20 with an angle of α = 0 ° and flows around an adjoining curved surface 4, whereby a curved shear or eddy current 3 is created, which is directed towards the front 1 is.

A further variant of an extractor hood according to the invention results from FIG. 8, in which a flat suction device and an edge suction device are combined with a blow-out via a curvature or blow-on of a profile. A suction fan 23 draws air from the haze area through an annular channel 22 with a suction slot 10 via an edge filter 51. Another blower 24 sucks air from the haze area through a flat filter 25 in the center of the hood and blows this air through the blow duct 15 to the exhaust slot 27. Such an embodiment of a fume hood is particularly suitable for suctioning off oil-containing vapors - the oil can become precipitate in the gutter 28. The blowers 23 and 24 have separate suction spaces 29, the space between the vortex housing 24 and the filter 25, and the annular channel 22. As shown in Fig. 8a by section A-A, this extractor hood has an approximately semicircular shape.

9, a curved vortex flow 3 is generated in that the blowing air is directed via a profile 21, for example an airfoil profile, and against a front, which delimits the range of vapors on the other side and sucks in via a flat filter 25. Vortex blower 24 and suction blower 23 are fed from a common suction chamber 30. If separate vortex blowers are provided, as is the case with the embodiment according to FIG. 9, the blowing volume flow is independent of the flow resistance of the exhaust air line following the connection 54. 10a, 10b and 10c are a semi-circular hood 34, a circular hood 35 and a semi-elliptical hood 36, each of which can produce a front, the schematic shape of which is designated by 1. An extractor hood, as shown in Fig. 8, show the Fig. 1 1 and 1 1 a, in Fig. 1 1 a rectangular hood is shown, the interruptions 38 of the Ansaugschi itzes 10 of the edge suction

The illustration according to FIG. 12 shows a flat filter 25 which has tongues or wave crests 40 which result in a convergence 41 of the intake flow as well as depressions or troughs 55 arranged in between which result in a divergence 42 of the intake flow.

The course of the flow due to corrugations of a curved hood front side 1 3 is shown in FIGS. 13 and 13a. The latter shows the underside of a hood, while FIG. 13 shows a vertical section of the hood front 13 and the blown air duct 15. The blow-out flow 47 flowing through the blast air duct 15 is reflected in the deflection 43 of the wave crest 57 of the hood front 13 and is directed toward the center lines 44 of the wave troughs, so that a convergence 41 occurs along this line under the hood. A divergence 42 arises in the center lines 45 of the troughs 56. The helical long vortices 46 generated below the hood are shown schematically on the extension of the center lines of the wave crests.

The embodiment according to FIGS. 14 and 15 relates to an extractor hood with a Coanda effect, which has a rectangular cross section and which is designed in FIG. 14 as a recirculation hood. The hood 61 is arranged on the front of the hood 62, the outlet opening for the blown air on the hood bottom 64 at a distance from the front edge or to the rear at a distance of, for example, 50 mm. The blow-out gap 63 has a slot width of approximately 4-5 mm and is blown to the rear by an overblown one Limited pipe 65, which in a special embodiment has a pipe diameter of 38 mm. The blow-out speed of the blowing air in this embodiment is 2-3 m / sec. By moving the blow-out gap 63 to the rear at a distance from the front edge of the hood, the suction effect of the jet under the stem is limited to the half space, and the suction action of the jet is thereby increased in comparison to a blow-out opening directly at the hood front edge. The exit of the circulating air is indicated at 66 in FIG. 14. At the lateral boundaries of the overblown tube 65, longitudinal vortices 67, 68 are generated which suppress the evaporation of the vapor at the edges of the hood. For a correct formation of these longitudinal vertebrae, it is essential that the longitudinal vertebrae are below a shield 69, 70. The end of the blow-out slot 63 and the tube 65 must therefore also be spaced from the lateral edges, as shown in FIG. 1 5.

The double-jet extractor hood shown schematically in FIG. 16 has two separate blow-out channels 71, 72, which direct blow jets 73, 74 downwards and inwards and produce a curved shear or vortex flow. The two exit points of the blow-out channels are spaced apart or offset in height.

Figure 1 7 shows a modified embodiment of an extractor hood with Coanda effect according to Figures 14 and 1 5, in which a blowing edge is shown on the front and the side edges without a blow-out opening. The hood 80 according to FIG. 1 7 has a blower 81, a surface filter 82 in the central region, edge filter 83 and an edge suction with suction slots 84. The filter elements 82, 83 are attached to an extension of the blow-out channel behind the edge suction slots.

FIGS. 18a, 18b and 18c show different embodiments of Coanda vortex hoods with edge suction in supervision, namely FIG. 18a with side edge Suction, Figure 18b with a U-shaped edge suction and Figure 18c without a central suction. The hood 85 has a front vortex generator 86, a middle flat filter 87, edge filter 88 and suction section 89.

FIGS. 19a-19c schematically show a development series of extractor hoods according to The Invention, which use grumpy shear currents to produce a front. FIG. 19a shows the basic application of the Coanda effect, FIG. 19c shows a double-jet version of the application of the Coanda effect. The embodiment according to FIG. 1 9b shows a double-jet version of the application of the Coanda effect. Forming the semicircular element according to FIG. 19b into a profile results in a combination of a flow around the profile body (for example according to FIG. 9) with the simple Coanda effect according to FIG. 19c. A second jet can be used either over the entire blow-out length or only at the points where the flow should be particularly good. In the case of a combination with a blown profile, as shown in FIG. 19c, one can speak of a free jet which becomes a wall jet after flowing around the profile after a short running distance. The common characteristic of the front vortex generators of FIG. 19 is that the flow is deflected by the "wall effect". The use of a second wall jet according to FIG. 19b stabilizes the jet deflection so that the jet adheres better to the underside of the hood (see FIG. 21). The hood 90 each is shown with a blow-out duct 21, suction ports 92, curved blast jet guide 93, flat filter 94, Coanda profile body 95, airfoil profile body 96 and double blow duct 97

The embodiment according to FIG. 20 shows a flow around a tube which abuts a surface. This tube is the flow around a frontal vortex hood. The surface is the underside of an extractor hood. The pipe is filled or profiled towards the edge. This profiling decreases towards the outside, and the filler is increasingly stepped until only the pipe as a flow body is present on the inside. The Profiling takes place on the outside as a straight continuation 101 of a tangent 102 to the curvature of the tube. This continuation 101 is increasingly shortened to the inside of the blow-out device, as indicated at 103. The transition

104 is the area in which the straight filler merges into the curvature of the pipe, the surfaces 101, 102, 103 delimit this filler body. Surface 103 is the continuation of the underside of the hood.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 21, a second wall jet is blown out on the hood 105, which acts as a kind of adhesive jet. This corresponds to the double jet principle according to FIG. 16 and FIG. 19. A flow around tube 106 has an inlet 107 on the sides inside the hood for the air of the adhesive jet. Below the hood

105, a slot 108 is provided as an exit point for the adhesive jet. By appropriate positioning of the inlet and outlet openings 107, 108 and by means of deflection devices 109, e.g. Air baffles before the outlet, the adhesive jet can be directed inwards. However, a continuation of the frontal vortex or the curved shear flow can also be provided via an additionally generated longitudinal vortex at the ends of the blow-out device. The blowing flow can be stabilized by means of setting, boundary layer suction, proximity of the suction surface or by means of an adhesive jet can also be used at other critical points in the blowing device.

FIG. 22 shows a vortex tube 110 in which a radial and an axial flow are increasingly brought together, as a result of which this flow becomes a rotating jet at the exit point. This flow is suitable as a continuation of the blow-out flow. In this case, a tube 1 1 1 with flow around it is provided, to which the vortex tube 1 10 connects to the n outside. The flow around tube 1 10 is at the same time air supply for the vortex tube 1 10. The air for the vortex tube comes from the blowing space 1 1 2 (that is the space above the hood base) of the hood and passes through the opening 1 1 3 in the tube 1 1 1 via the inlet 1 14 in the vortex tube 1 10. The jet 1 15 flowing out of the outlet opening, which represents the jet with longitudinal vortex generated by the vortex tube, is expediently directed toward the interior of the hood and towards the suction surface. In the illustration in FIG. 22, the exit from the vortex tube 110 is shown off-center in the truncated cone, so that the exit takes place below the hood base. However, the vortex tube can also be oriented obliquely downwards into the space below the hood base, and the truncated cone, which serves to converge the flow, can point in the desired direction. The direction of rotation of the frontal vortex and the longitudinal vortex is selected so that the longitudinal vortex represents a continuation of the frontal vortex or the front-generating, curved shear flow at the corners. The vortex tube 110 is particularly suitable for continuing the frontal flow structure on the sides in the case of angular hoods. The vortex tube can, however, also be used in the case of half-ring-shaped hoods, the flow around the hollow body, as a rule a tube, advantageously passing into a vortex tube. This is shown schematically in FIG. 23. The curved element 1 16 is the top view of a curved tube, which is referred to as an overblown round body. The vortex tubes connect to the ends of this curved tube. The illustration according to FIG. 23 points towards the opened hood from above. The longitudinal vortices emanating from the outlet openings of the vortex tubes are visible through the suction opening 11.
