Definitions

  • the invention relates to an extractor device with an intake area and a flow channel which is connected to the intake area in the direction of flow and has an outlet opening for blowing out the extracted air.
  • the outlet port is usually followed by a pipe that can be routed to an area outside the building.
  • Vapor extraction devices with an intake area, in which grease filters are usually integrated, and a flow channel connected thereto are known from the prior art.
  • the installation space available for the fan is extremely limited due to the flow channel, which is usually narrow for design reasons.
  • the large suction area covers the cooker underneath the extractor hood.
  • the air drawn in via the intake area is channeled into the much narrower flow channel, so that a significant proportion of the flow from the intake area enters the flow channel from the side and is deflected for the first time in an axial direction, ie in the center direction of the exhaust channel.
  • the centrifugal fan draws in air radially from the flow channel and blows it out axially.
  • the air is deflected at right angles for the second time. Any deflection of the air volume flow results in further pressure losses and thus reduced efficiency, since the fan output has to be adjusted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an extractor device which, with the same extraction capacity, ensures lower power consumption and optionally reduced noise generation.
  • a fume extraction device with an intake area, a flow channel which is connected to the intake area in the direction of flow and is flow-connected, and an outlet opening proposed, wherein a suction cross-sectional area is larger than a flow channel cross-sectional area and an outlet opening cross-sectional area is smaller than the flow channel cross-sectional area.
  • a diagonal fan with an axial inlet and an axial outlet is arranged in the flow channel, which during operation draws in air axially from the flow channel via the axial inlet and blows it out axially via the axial outlet into the outlet opening flow-connected to the outlet.
  • the use of the diagonal fan in the flow channel advantageously results in a reduction in pressure loss of 40-60% compared to conventionally used radial fans. Deflection losses and power consumption are reduced accordingly. In addition, the generation of noise is reduced, since the flow, once it has entered the flow channel, does not undergo any further change of direction up to the outlet.
  • the advantageous flow control in the vapor extraction device is made possible by the diagonal fan with axial inlet and axial outlet.
  • an outlet cross-sectional area of the diagonal fan corresponds to the outlet opening cross-sectional area.
  • the diagonal fan is mounted with its outlet directly on the outlet opening, in particular, in order to provide a flush transition between the outlet on the fan and the outlet opening on the flow duct.
  • the diagonal fan is often connected directly to a pipe connected to the outlet opening.
  • the intake cross-sectional area is larger than the flow channel cross-sectional area by a factor of 2 to 20, preferably 3 to 10, more preferably 4 to 6.
  • Cross-sectional sizes of the flow channel that are often realized in practice are, for example, 240 mm x 240 mm.
  • outlet openings are usually set to a (pipe) diameter of 150mm.
  • the diagonal fan has a diagonal fan impeller with a surrounding cover plate.
  • the cover disk is arranged on the diagonal fan wheel on the side facing the inlet and covers the otherwise free axial fan blade edges. In a portion facing towards the inlet, the shroud runs parallel to an axial centerline detached from the fan blades.
  • an inlet nozzle which determines the axial inlet and has a flow cross-sectional area that decreases in the axial direction of flow, is arranged on the diagonal fan. It is advantageous to design the inlet nozzle in one piece with the fan housing or to define a part of the fan housing through the inlet nozzle.
  • the inlet nozzle extends in the axial direction into the diagonal fan wheel, so that an axial overlapping area is formed between the diagonal fan wheel and the inlet nozzle.
  • the inlet nozzle is surrounded at least in sections by the cover plate, in particular by the section directed towards the inlet and running parallel to the axial center line.
  • a flow-guiding preliminary guide grille is arranged on the suction side on the inlet nozzle, which contributes in particular to reducing noise emissions and minimizes disruptive low-frequency sounds.
  • the inlet nozzle has a maximum Inlet flow cross-sectional area, which determines a factor of 0.15 - 0.4 of the maximum flow channel cross-sectional area.
  • a guide wheel which determines the axial outlet and has a flow cross-sectional area that increases in the axial direction of flow, is arranged on the diagonal fan.
  • the flow cross-sectional area tapers to the outlet opening cross-sectional area.
  • the guide vane is arranged after the diagonal fan impeller and enables an increase in the axial outflow velocity. It therefore contributes to increasing the efficiency. It is also advantageous to design the guide wheel in one piece with the fan housing or to define a part of the fan housing with the guide wheel.
  • the diagonal fan has a multi-part housing, via which it is fastened to the flow duct.
  • the first part of the housing is formed by the inlet nozzle and the second part by the guide vane.
  • part of the invention is the use of a diagonal fan in an extractor device as described above.
  • the diagonal fan can include individual or all of the features disclosed, insofar as this is technically possible.
  • FIG 1 an extractor hood 200 according to the prior art with a double-flow radial fan 210 is shown schematically by way of example.
  • the air flow generated by the radial fan 210 is shown with arrows S, it being easy to see that the air flow is deflected several times.
  • figure 2 shows a fume extraction device 1 with an intake area 2, a flow-connected flow channel 3 with a square cross-section, which is directly adjacent to the intake area 2 in the direction of flow, and an outlet opening 4, which opens into a pipe 23.
  • the diagonal fan 5 is attached to the wall. The air flow generated by the diagonal fan 5 during operation is represented by the arrows P.
  • the intake area cross-sectional area of the intake area 2 is many times greater than the flow channel cross-sectional area of the flow channel 3, the outlet opening cross-sectional area of the outlet opening 4 is smaller than the flow channel cross-sectional area of the flow channel 3.
  • the diagonal fan 5 has the axial inlet 6 in the direction of the intake area 2, via which during operation Air is sucked in axially from the flow channel 3 and blown out directly into the tube 23 via the axial outlet 7 .
  • the axial outlet 7 is directly connected to the outlet opening 4 and the pipe 23 .
  • the outlet cross-sectional area of the outlet 7 of the diagonal fan 5 corresponds to that of the exhaust port cross-sectional area of the exhaust port 4.
  • the diagonal fan 5 has a structure with a motor 18 which is accommodated and fastened centrally on a motor mount 20 and around which the pressure chamber is routed.
  • the motor 18 drives a diagonal fan wheel 8 arranged upstream, which has a circumferential cover disk 9 which partially covers the axially exposed edges of the diagonal fan wheel blades 19 .
  • the cover disk 9 runs in the inlet section 21 parallel to the axial center line and obliquely outwards in the downstream direction, so that a flow space formed by the cover disk 9 and the base disk 28 merges essentially flush into the pressure space.
  • the axial inlet 6 is formed by the inlet nozzle 10, the flow cross-sectional area of which decreases in the axial direction of flow.
  • the inlet nozzle 10 has an inlet contour 24 which extends in the axial direction into the diagonal fan wheel 8 and forms the axial overlap region 11 with the inlet section 21 of the cover plate 9 .
  • a circumferential radial gap is provided between the inlet contour 24 of the inlet nozzle 10 and the inlet section 21 of the cover disk 9 .
  • the axial distance between the axial edges of the diagonal fan wheel blades 19 and the axial end of the inlet contour 24 of the inlet nozzle 10 is very small and corresponds to 10% of the axial extent of the inlet contour 24 of the inlet nozzle 10.
  • the inlet nozzle 10 forms a maximum inlet flow cross-sectional area which corresponds to 40% of the flow channel cross-sectional area.
  • the inlet nozzle 10 forms a first housing part of the diagonal fan 5.
  • the second housing part which is directly connected and fastened to the first housing part, is provided by the guide vane 12.
  • the guide vane 12 forms the axial outlet 7 and has the shape of the pressure chamber co-determining flow guide elements 22, which extend around the motor 18 to the outlet 7 and thereby in the axial direction of flow Increase flow cross-sectional area to create a venturi effect.
  • the outer housing wall of the guide vane 12 that guides the flow runs parallel to the axial center line.
  • figure 3 shows the lower pressure loss when using the in figure 2 shown diagonal fan 5 in an extractor device 1 compared to the solutions known from the prior art, with graphs 66 and 77 relating to a radial fan and a radial fan installed in an extractor device and graphs 88 and 99 relating to a diagonal fan 5 and a diagonal fan 5 in the refer to Figure 2 installed state.
  • the two graphs 88 and 99 are much closer together, especially at higher volume flows.
  • a flow guide grid can be arranged at the inlet nozzle upstream.
  • the diagonal fan can also be attached to the flow duct only on the axial side and be spaced apart from the flow duct in the radial direction.
