Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung, die beispielsweise als Bestandteil eines lufttechnischen Geräts vorliegt.The invention relates to a fluid deflection device which is present, for example, as a component of an air-conditioning device.

Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung dient insbesondere einer Verteilung und/oder einer Umlenkung eines Fluids. Das Fluid liegt beispielsweise in Form von Luft vor, sodass die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung auch als Luftumlenkungseinrichtung bezeichnet werden kann. Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung ist besonders bevorzugt Bestandteil des lufttechnischen Geräts, welches beispielsweise als Lüftungsgerät beziehungsweise Lüftungsanlage ausgestaltet ist, insbesondere als Fassadenlüftungsgerät. Das Fassadenlüftungsgerät ist in eine Wand eines Gebäudes integrierbar ausgestaltet. Das lufttechnische Gerät verfügt zusätzlich zu der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung bevorzugt über wenigstens einen Wärmetauscher und/oder eine Luftfördereinrichtung, beispielsweise einen Ventilator oder dergleichen. Das Dokument WO 2016/096965 A1 offenbart eine Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1.The fluid deflection device is used in particular to distribute and / or deflect a fluid. The fluid is in the form of air, for example, so that the fluid deflection device can also be referred to as an air deflection device. The fluid deflection device is particularly preferably a component of the ventilation device, which is designed, for example, as a ventilation device or ventilation system, in particular as a facade ventilation device. The facade ventilation device is designed to be integrated into a wall of a building. In addition to the fluid deflection device, the ventilation device preferably has at least one heat exchanger and / or an air delivery device, for example a fan or the like. The document WO 2016/096965 A1 discloses a fluid deflection device having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung vorzuschlagen, welche gegenüber bekannten Fluidumlenkungseinrichtungen Vorteile aufweist, insbesondere geringe Strömungsverluste aufweist und zugleich einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist.It is the object of the invention to propose a fluid deflection device which has advantages over known fluid deflection devices, in particular has low flow losses and at the same time can be produced simply and inexpensively.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erreicht. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen definiert. Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung eine Innenwand, eine Zwischenwand und eine Außenwand aufweist, die bezüglich einer Längsmittelachse der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung jeweils kreiszylindrisch sind, wobei auf einer ersten axialen Seite der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung auf einer ersten radialen Seite der Zwischenwand, insbesondere zwischen der Innenwand und der Zwischenwand, ein erster innerer Fluidanschluss und auf einer zweiten radialen Seite der Zwischenwand, insbesondere zwischen der Zwischenwand und der Außenwand, ein erster äußerer Fluidanschluss und auf einer der ersten axialen Seite gegenüberliegenden zweiten axialen Seite der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung auf der ersten radialen Seite der Zwischenwand, insbesondere zwischen der Innenwand und der Zwischenwand, ein zweiter innerer Fluidanschluss und auf der zweiten radialen Seite der Zwischenwand, insbesondere zwischen der Zwischenwand und der Außenwand, ein zweiter äußerer Fluidanschluss ausgebildet ist, wobei der erste innere Fluidanschluss mit dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss in Fluidverbindung steht und von dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss fluidtechnisch getrennt ist, und der erste äußere Fluidanschluss mit dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss in Fluidverbindung steht und von dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss fluidtechnisch getrennt ist.This is achieved according to the invention with a fluid deflection device having the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the subclaims. According to the invention it is provided that the fluid deflection device has an inner wall, an intermediate wall and an outer wall which are each circular cylindrical with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the fluid deflection device, on a first axial side of the fluid deflection device on a first radial side of the intermediate wall, in particular between the inner wall and the partition, a first inner fluid connection and on a second radial side of the partition, in particular between the partition and the outer wall, a first outer fluid connection and on a second axial side opposite the first axial side of the fluid deflection device on the first radial side of the partition, in particular formed between the inner wall and the intermediate wall, a second inner fluid connection and on the second radial side of the intermediate wall, in particular between the intermediate wall and the outer wall, a second outer fluid connection is, where the first inner fluid port is in fluid communication with the second outer fluid port and is fluidly separated from the second inner fluid port, and the first outer fluid port is in fluid communication with the second inner fluid port and is fluidly separated from the second outer fluid port.

Insgesamt sind die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung oder zumindest die genannten Wände, also die Innenwand, die Zwischenwand und die Außenwand, kreiszylindrisch aufgebaut, nämlich bezüglich der Längsmittelachse. Die Längsmittelachse der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung entspricht dabei der Längsmittelachse der kreiszylindrischen Innenwand, der Längsmittelachse der kreiszylindrischen Zwischenwand und der Längsmittelachse der kreiszylindrischen Außenwand, welche insoweit zusammenfallen.Overall, the fluid deflection device or at least the named walls, that is to say the inner wall, the intermediate wall and the outer wall, are constructed to be circular-cylindrical, namely with respect to the longitudinal center axis. The longitudinal center axis of the fluid deflection device corresponds to the longitudinal center axis of the circular cylindrical inner wall, the longitudinal center axis of the circular cylindrical intermediate wall and the longitudinal center axis of the circular cylindrical outer wall, which coincide to that extent.

Die genannten Fluidanschlüsse, also der erste innere Fluidanschluss, der erste äußere Fluidanschluss, der zweite innere Fluidanschluss und der zweite äußere Fluidanschluss sind paarweise auf gegenüberliegenden axialen Seiten der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung angeordnet, also an gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung. Hierbei sind die beiden ersten Fluidanschlüsse, also der erste innere Fluidanschluss und der erste äußere Fluidanschluss, auf derselben Seite der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung angeordnet beziehungsweise ausgebildet. Das Gleiche gilt für die beiden zweiten Fluidanschlüsse, also dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss.The mentioned fluid connections, that is the first inner fluid connection, the first outer fluid connection, the second inner fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection are arranged in pairs on opposite axial sides of the fluid deflection device, that is on opposite end faces of the fluid deflection device. Here, the two first fluid connections, that is to say the first inner fluid connection and the first outer fluid connection, are arranged or formed on the same side of the fluid deflection device. The same applies to the two second fluid connections, that is to say the second inner fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection.

Die Fluidanschlüsse sind jeweils kreisförmig oder ringförmig ausgebildet. So werden die inneren Fluidanschlüsse in radialer Richtung nach außen von der Zwischenwand begrenzt und können in radialer Richtung nach innen durchgehend bis zu der Längsmittelachse verlaufen. Insoweit ist der entsprechende innere Fluidanschluss kreisförmig. Alternativ kann es selbstverständlich vorgesehen sein, dass der innere Fluidanschluss in radialer Richtung nach außen von der Zwischenwand und in radialer Richtung nach innen von der Innenwand begrenzt ist, sodass er kreisringförmig ist. Wenigstens einer der äußeren Fluidanschlüsse wird in radialer Richtung nach innen von der Zwischenwand und in radialer Richtung nach außen von der Außenwand begrenzt, sodass er kreisringförmig ist. Besonders bevorzugt gilt dies für beide äußere Fluidanschlüsse. Die Zwischenwand dient beiderseits der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung jeweils der fluidtechnischen Trennung des entsprechend inneren Fluidanschlusses von dem äußeren Fluidanschluss auf derselben axialen Seite. Bevorzugt ist es daher vorgesehen, dass die Zwischenwand und die Außenwand miteinander fluchtende Stirnseiten aufweisen, welche insoweit auf derselben senkrecht auf der Längsmittelachse stehenden Ebene liegen.The fluid connections are each designed to be circular or ring-shaped. The inner fluid connections are bounded outward in the radial direction by the intermediate wall and can extend continuously inward in the radial direction up to the longitudinal center axis. In this respect, the corresponding inner fluid connection is circular. Alternatively, it can of course be provided that the inner fluid connection is delimited in the radial direction outward by the intermediate wall and in the radial direction inward by the inner wall, so that it is circular. At least one of the outer fluid connections is delimited in the radial direction inward by the intermediate wall and in the radial direction outward by the outer wall, so that it is circular. This particularly preferably applies to both outer fluid connections. The intermediate wall serves on both sides of the fluid deflection device in each case for the fluid-technical separation of the corresponding inner fluid connection from the outer fluid connection on the same axial side. It is therefore preferably provided that the intermediate wall and the outer wall have end faces which are aligned with one another and which in this respect lie on the same plane perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis.

Im Längsschnitt gesehen, also entlang der Längsmittelachse geschnitten, sollen die ersten Fluidanschlüsse mit den zweiten Fluidanschlüssen überkreuz in Strömungsverbindung stehen. So soll der erste innere Fluidanschluss mit dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss strömungstechnisch verbunden sein, von dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss strömungstechnisch jedoch separiert sein. Zugleich soll der erste äußere Fluidanschluss mit dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss in Strömungsverbindung stehen und von dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss strömungstechnisch separiert sein. Im Inneren der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung erfährt das durch einen der Fluidanschlüsse eintretende Fluid insoweit stets eine Umlenkung in radialer Richtung, nämlich in radialer Richtung nach innen oder in radialer Richtung nach außen, bevor es auf der axial gegenüberliegenden Seite aus der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung austritt. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung ermöglicht eine kompakte Ausgestaltung des lufttechnischen Geräts. Aufgrund des Aufbaus der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung mit den drei Wänden, nämlich der Innenwand, der Zwischenwand und der Außenwand, welche bevorzugt zudem koaxial beziehungsweise konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind, ist zudem eine einfache Herstellbarkeit bei gleichzeitig hoher Formstabilität der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung gegeben.Seen in the longitudinal section, that is to say cut along the longitudinal center axis, the first fluid connections are intended to be in cross-flow connection with the second fluid connections. Thus, the first inner fluid connection should be fluidically connected to the second outer fluid connection, but should be fluidically separated from the second inner fluid connection. At the same time, the first outer fluid connection should be in flow connection with the second inner fluid connection and be fluidically separated from the second outer fluid connection. Inside the fluid deflection device, the fluid entering through one of the fluid connections is always deflected in the radial direction, namely in the radial direction inwards or in the radial direction outwards, before it exits the fluid deflection device on the axially opposite side. Such a configuration of the fluid deflection device enables a compact configuration of the ventilation device. Due to the structure of the fluid deflection device with the three walls, namely the inner wall, the intermediate wall and the outer wall, which are also preferably arranged coaxially or concentrically with one another, the fluid deflection device is also easy to manufacture with high dimensional stability at the same time.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss über wenigstens eine erste Strömungskammer und die Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss über wenigstens eine zweite Strömungskammer vorliegt. Die Fluidanschlüsse liegen per Definition vorzugsweise in der jeweiligen Stirnseitenebene der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung. Bevorzugt liegen dabei die ersten Fluidanschlüsse vollständig in einer ersten Ebene und die zweiten Fluidanschlüsse vollständig in einer zu dieser parallelen zweiten Ebene, wobei die Ebenen in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet sind. Vorzugsweise stehen die beiden Ebenen jeweils senkrecht auf der Längsmittelachse. Die beiden Ebenen können gegenüberliegende Stirnseiten beziehungsweise Stirnflächen der Außenwand und/oder der Zwischenwand und/oder Innenwand jeweils aufnehmen.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the fluid connection between the first inner fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection is via at least one first flow chamber and the fluid connection between the first outer fluid connection and the second inner fluid connection is via at least one second flow chamber. By definition, the fluid connections are preferably located in the respective face plane of the fluid deflection device. Preferably, the first fluid connections lie completely in a first plane and the second fluid connections lie completely in a second plane parallel to this, the planes being spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. The two planes are each preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis. The two planes can each accommodate opposite end faces or end faces of the outer wall and / or the intermediate wall and / or inner wall.

Jeder der Fluidverbindungen, also zum einen der Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss als auch zum anderen der Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss, ist jeweils eine Strömungskammer zugeordnet, wobei die Strömungskammern als die erste Strömungskammer und die zweite Strömungskammer bezeichnet werden. Selbstverständlich können jeweils mehrere Fluidverbindungen vorgesehen sein, sodass auch mehrere erste Strömungskammern und/oder mehrere zweite Strömungskammern realisiert sein können. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung dieselbe Anzahl an ersten Strömungskammern und an zweiten Strömungskammern auf.A flow chamber is assigned to each of the fluid connections, i.e. on the one hand the fluid connection between the first inner fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection and on the other hand the fluid connection between the first outer fluid connection and the second inner fluid connection, the flow chambers being the first flow chamber and the second flow chamber can be referred to. Of course, several fluid connections can be provided in each case, so that several first flow chambers are also provided and / or several second flow chambers can be implemented. The fluid deflection device particularly preferably has the same number of first flow chambers and second flow chambers.

Der erste innere Fluidanschluss kann über einen ersten inneren Strömungskanal an die erste Strömungskammer angeschlossen sein, wohingegen diese über einen zweiten äußeren Strömungskanal an den zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss angeschlossen ist. Analog hierzu kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der erste äußere Fluidanschluss über einen ersten äußeren Strömungskanal mit der zweiten Strömungskammer und diese wiederum über einen zweiten inneren Strömungskanal mit dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss in Strömungsverbindung steht. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere erste Strömungskammern und mehrere zweite Strömungskammern ausgebildet.The first inner fluid connection can be connected to the first flow chamber via a first inner flow channel, whereas the latter is connected to the second outer fluid connection via a second outer flow channel. Analogously to this, it can be provided that the first outer fluid connection is in flow connection with the second flow chamber via a first outer flow channel and the latter in turn is in flow connection with the second inner fluid connection via a second inner flow channel. A plurality of first flow chambers and a plurality of second flow chambers are preferably formed.

Die Strömungskanäle sind vorzugsweise jeweils gerade und verfügen jeweils über eine Längsmittelachse, welche parallel zu der Längsmittelachse verläuft. Alternativ kann die erste Strömungskammer einerseits von dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss und andererseits von dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss begrenzt sein. In diesem Fall ist die zweite Strömungskammer einerseits von dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss und andererseits von dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss begrenzt. Die erste Strömungskammer schließt sich in anderen Worten also einerseits unmittelbar an den ersten inneren Fluidanschluss und andererseits unmittelbar an den zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss an. Entsprechend schließt sich die zweite Strömungskammer einerseits unmittelbar an den ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss und andererseits unmittelbar an den zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss an.The flow channels are preferably each straight and each have a longitudinal center axis which runs parallel to the longitudinal center axis. Alternatively, the first flow chamber can be delimited on the one hand by the first inner fluid connection and on the other hand by the second outer fluid connection. In this case, the second flow chamber is delimited on the one hand by the first outer fluid connection and on the other hand by the second inner fluid connection. In other words, the first flow chamber connects directly to the first inner fluid connection on the one hand and directly to the second outer fluid connection on the other. Correspondingly, the second flow chamber connects directly to the first outer fluid connection on the one hand and directly to the second inner fluid connection on the other.

Die Strömungskammern, also die erste Strömungskammer und die zweite Strömungskammer, sind vorzugsweise jeweils zum Umlenken der Fluidströmung ausgestaltet. So erfolgt vorzugsweise in der ersten Strömungskammer eine Umlenkung ausgehend von dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss in radialer Richtung nach außen hin zu dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss und in der zweiten Strömungskammer eine Umlenkung in radialer Richtung nach innen ausgehend von dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss hin zu dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss beziehungsweise jeweils umgekehrt. Bevorzugt sind die Strömungskammern derart ausgestaltet, dass das in sie durch einen der Fluidanschlüsse einströmende Fluid parallel zu der Längsmittelachse in sie einströmt und dort umgelenkt in radialer Richtung umgelenkt wird, bevor es durch einen anderen der Fluidanschlüsse aus der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung austritt.The flow chambers, that is to say the first flow chamber and the second flow chamber, are preferably each designed to deflect the fluid flow. In the first flow chamber, there is preferably a deflection starting from the first inner fluid connection in the radial direction outwards to the second outer fluid connection and in the second flow chamber a deflection in the radial direction inwards starting from the first outer fluid connection to the second inner fluid connection or vice versa. The flow chambers are preferably designed such that the fluid flowing into them through one of the fluid connections flows into them parallel to the longitudinal center axis and is deflected there in the radial direction before it exits the fluid deflection device through another of the fluid connections.

Eine bevorzugte weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die erste Strömungskammer und/oder die zweite Strömungskammer jeweils in radialer Richtung gesehen in einem ersten Strömungsbereich innen von der Innenwand und/oder außen von der Zwischenwand, und/oder in einem zweiten Strömungsbereich innen von der Innenwand und außen von der Außenwand, und/oder in einem dritten Strömungsbereich innen von der Zwischenwand und außen von der Außenwand begrenzt ist. Wenigstens eine der Strömungskammern, vorzugsweise jedoch beide Strömungskammern, sind in die unterschiedlichen Strömungsbereiche unterteilt. In dem ersten Strömungsbereich kann es - im Längsschnitt bezüglich der Längsmittelachse gesehen - vorgesehen sein, dass die jeweilige Strömungskammer lediglich in radialer Richtung nach außen von der Zwischenwand begrenzt ist, während sie in radialer Richtung nach innen durchgehend ist, also sich bis hin zu der Längsmittelachse erstreckt. Alternativ kann es jedoch vorgesehen sein, dass die jeweilige Strömungskammer - im Längsschnitt bezüglich der Längsmittelachse gesehen - in dem ersten Strömungsbereich in radialer Richtung gesehen innen von der Innenwand und außen von der Zwischenwand begrenzt ist und insoweit sich ringförmig zwischen diesen erstreckt.A preferred further embodiment of the invention provides that the first flow chamber and / or the second flow chamber, viewed in the radial direction, in a first flow area on the inside of the inner wall and / or on the outside of the partition, and / or in a second flow area on the inside of the Inside wall and outside by the outer wall, and / or in a third flow area is bounded inside by the partition and outside by the outer wall. At least one of the flow chambers, but preferably both flow chambers, are divided into the different flow regions. In the first flow area - seen in longitudinal section with respect to the longitudinal center axis - it can be provided that the respective flow chamber is limited only in the radial direction outward by the partition, while it is continuous in the radial direction inward, i.e. up to the longitudinal center axis extends. Alternatively, however, it can be provided that the respective flow chamber - viewed in longitudinal section with respect to the longitudinal center axis - is delimited in the first flow area in the radial direction on the inside by the inner wall and on the outside by the partition and to that extent extends annularly between them.

In dem zweiten Strömungsbereich erstreckt sich die jeweilige Strömungskammer - im Längsschnitt bezüglich der Längsmittelachse gesehen - in radialer Richtung von innen nach außen ausgehend von der Innenwand bis hin zu der Außenwand. In dem dritten Strömungsbereich wird sie hingegen - im Längsschnitt bezüglich der Längsmittelachse gesehen - innen von der Zwischenwand und außen von der Außenwand begrenzt. Es wird deutlich, dass die jeweilige Strömungskammer in dem zweiten Strömungsbereich die größte Erstreckung in radialer Richtung aufweist. In dem zweiten Strömungsbereich erfolgt insoweit auch die Umlenkung in radialer Richtung, nämlich ausgehend von dem ersten Strömungsbereich in radialer Richtung nach außen hin zu dem zweiten Strömungsbereich beziehungsweise umgekehrt in radialer Richtung nach innen ausgehend von dem dritten Strömungsbereich bis hin zu dem ersten Strömungsbereich.In the second flow area, the respective flow chamber extends - viewed in longitudinal section with respect to the longitudinal center axis - in the radial direction from the inside to the outside, starting from the inner wall up to the outer wall. In the third flow area, on the other hand, it is delimited on the inside by the intermediate wall and on the outside by the outer wall - viewed in longitudinal section with respect to the longitudinal center axis. It becomes clear that the respective flow chamber in the second flow area has the greatest extent in the radial direction. In the second flow area, the deflection also takes place in the radial direction, namely starting from the first flow area in the radial direction outwards to the second flow area or, conversely, in the radial direction inwards starting from the third flow area up to the first flow area.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Innenwand, die Zwischenwand und die Außenwand über Radialstege miteinander verbunden sind, wobei jeweils zwei der Radialstege die erste Strömungskammer und/oder die zweite Strömungskammer in Umfangsrichtung begrenzen. Die Radialstege erstrecken sich bevorzugt in Draufsicht beziehungsweise im Querschnitt gesehen gerade in radialer Richtung von innen nach außen. Beispielsweise beginnen sie an der Innenwand und erstrecken sich bis hin zu der Außenwand. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass sie in radialer Richtung durchgehend von der Längsmittelachse bis hin zu der Außenwand verlaufen, bevorzugt durchgehend gerade. Sind insoweit mehr als zwei Radialstege vorgesehen, so sind diese vorzugsweise sternförmig zueinander beziehungsweise bezüglich der Längsmittelachse angeordnet.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the inner wall, the intermediate wall and the outer wall are connected to one another via radial webs, two of the radial webs delimiting the first flow chamber and / or the second flow chamber in the circumferential direction. The radial webs preferably extend straight in the radial direction from the inside to the outside, as seen in plan view or in cross section. For example, they start on the inner wall and extend to the outer wall. However, it can also be provided that they run continuously in the radial direction from the longitudinal center axis to the outer wall, preferably continuously straight. In this respect, there are more than two radial webs provided, these are preferably arranged in a star shape with respect to one another or with respect to the longitudinal center axis.

Jeweils zwei der Radialstege begrenzen die erste Strömungskammer und/oder die zweite Strömungskammer in Umfangsrichtung. Sind lediglich genau zwei Radialstege vorgesehen, so fluchten diese miteinander, sodass einer der Radialstege die Verlängerung des jeweils anderen der Radialstege darstellt. Bei einer derartigen Ausführungsform begrenzen die Radialstege jeweils einerseits die erste Strömungskammer und andererseits die zweite Strömungskammer, grenzen die beiden Strömungskammern also voneinander ab. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch mehr als zwei Radialstege vorgesehen, besonders bevorzugt ist die Anzahl der Radialstege ein Mehrfaches von zwei. Jeder der Radialstege begrenzt insoweit in Umfangsrichtung einerseits die erste Strömungskammer beziehungsweise eine der ersten Strömungskammern und in Umfangsrichtung andererseits die zweite Strömungskammer beziehungsweise eine der zweiten Strömungskammern.Two of the radial webs each delimit the first flow chamber and / or the second flow chamber in the circumferential direction. If only exactly two radial webs are provided, they are aligned with one another so that one of the radial webs is the extension of the other of the radial webs. In such an embodiment, the radial webs delimit the first flow chamber on the one hand and the second flow chamber on the other hand, that is to say delimit the two flow chambers from one another. Preferably, however, more than two radial webs are provided, particularly preferably the number of radial webs is a multiple of two. Each of the radial webs limits the first flow chamber or one of the first flow chambers in the circumferential direction and the second flow chamber or one of the second flow chambers in the circumferential direction.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die jeweils zwei der Radialstege auf ihren der ersten axialen Seite zugewandten Stirnflächen über eine die Innenwand und die Zwischenwand miteinander verbindende und von der Außenwand beabstandete innere Strömungsführungswand miteinander verbunden sind und/oder oder auf ihren der zweiten axialen Seite zugewandten Stirnflächen über eine die Zwischenwand und die Außenwand miteinander verbindende und von der Innenwand beabstandete äußere Strömungsführungswand miteinander verbunden sind. Die Radialstege sind, wie vorstehend bereits erläutert, zumindest zwischen der Innenwand und der Außenwand, durchgehend ausgebildet. Zur strömungstechnischen Abtrennung der ersten Strömungskammer von der zweiten Strömungskammer sind nun die Strömungsführungswände, also die erste Strömungsführungswand und die zweite Strömungsführungswand, vorgesehen.A further development of the invention provides that the two of the radial webs are connected to one another on their end faces facing the first axial side via an inner flow guide wall connecting the inner wall and the intermediate wall and spaced from the outer wall and / or on their second axial side facing end faces are connected to one another via an outer flow guide wall which connects the intermediate wall and the outer wall to one another and is spaced from the inner wall. As already explained above, the radial webs are formed continuously at least between the inner wall and the outer wall. The flow guide walls, that is to say the first flow guide wall and the second flow guide wall, are now provided for separating the first flow chamber from the second flow chamber in terms of flow technology.

Die innere Strömungsführungswand erstreckt sich in radialer Richtung zwischen der Innenwand und der Zwischenwand, also in radialer Richtung ausgehend von der Innenwand bis hin zu der Zwischenwand. Ebenso erstreckt sie sich in Umfangsrichtung ausgehend von einem der Radialstege bis hin zu dem anderen der Radialstege. In analoger Art und Weise erstreckt sich die äußere Strömungsführungswand in radialer Richtung ausgehend von der Zwischenwand bis hin zu der Außenwand sowie in Umfangsrichtung ausgehend von dem einen der Radialstege bis hin zu dem anderen der Radialstege.The inner flow guide wall extends in the radial direction between the inner wall and the intermediate wall, that is to say in the radial direction starting from the inner wall up to the intermediate wall. It also extends in the circumferential direction from one of the radial webs to the other of the radial webs. In an analogous manner, the outer flow guide wall extends in the radial direction starting from the intermediate wall up to the outer wall and in the circumferential direction starting from one of the radial webs to the other of the radial webs.

Besonders bevorzugt sind zwei der Radialstege, welche über die innere Strömungsführungswand miteinander verbunden sind, nicht über eine äußere Strömungsführungswand miteinander verbunden und umgekehrt. Einer der Radialstege ist insoweit mit einem ersten weiteren der Radialstege über die innere Strömungsführungswand und mit einem zweiten weiteren der Radialstege über eine äußere Strömungsführungswand verbunden. Anders ausgedrückt greift an jedem der Radialstege eine innere Strömungsführungswand sowie eine äußere Strömungsführungswand an, welche sich jedoch in Umfangsrichtung in entgegengesetzte Richtungen erstrecken.Two of the radial webs, which are connected to one another via the inner flow guide wall, are particularly preferably not connected to one another via an outer flow guide wall, and vice versa. One of the radial webs is connected to a first further of the radial webs via the inner flow guide wall and to a second further radial webs via an outer flow guide wall. In other words, an inner flow guide wall and an outer flow guide wall act on each of the radial webs, but these extend in the circumferential direction in opposite directions.

Im Rahmen einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die innere Strömungsführungswand und/oder die äußere Strömungsführungswand in Umfangsrichtung gekrümmt ist, insbesondere durchgehend oder nur in einem an die Radialstege angrenzenden Krümmungsbereich, und/oder tangential in die Radialstege übergeht. Aufgrund der Krümmung der Strömungsführungswand wird ein äußerst geringer Druckverlust der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung erzielt. Die Krümmung liegt in Umfangsrichtung vor, wobei vorzugsweise die innere Strömungsführungswand, insbesondere in ihrer Mitte in Umfangsrichtung, eine stärkere Krümmung aufweist als die äußere Strömungsführungswand. Die Krümmung kann insbesondere durchgehend sein oder sich auf den oder die Krümmungsbereiche beschränken, an welchen die jeweilige Strömungsführungswand in dem oder die Radialstege übergeht. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausgestaltung, bei welcher die jeweilige Strömungsführungswand tangential in wenigstens einen der Radialstege, besonders bevorzugt jedoch in beide der Radialstege, übergeht und hierzu eine entsprechende Krümmung aufweist. Die Krümmung kann grundsätzlich konkav oder konvex ausgestaltet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the inner flow guide wall and / or the outer flow guide wall is curved in the circumferential direction, in particular continuously or only in a curvature region adjoining the radial webs, and / or merges tangentially into the radial webs. Due to the curvature of the flow guide wall, an extremely low pressure loss of the fluid deflection device is achieved. The curvature is present in the circumferential direction, the inner flow guiding wall preferably having a greater curvature than the outer flow guiding wall, in particular in its center in the circumferential direction. The curvature can in particular be continuous or be limited to the curvature region or regions at which the respective flow guide wall merges into the radial web or webs. An embodiment is particularly preferred in which the respective flow guide wall merges tangentially into at least one of the radial webs, but particularly preferably into both of the radial webs, and has a corresponding curvature for this purpose. The curvature can basically be concave or convex.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die innere Strömungsführungswand und/oder die äußere Strömungsführungswand in radialer Richtung und/oder in tangentialer Richtung geneigt sind, insbesondere in entgegengesetzte Richtungen geneigt sind. Zusätzlich oder alternativ zu der vorstehend beschriebenen Krümmung der jeweiligen Strömungsführungswand kann diese geneigt sein. Die Neigung ist dabei in radialer Richtung und/oder in Umfangsrichtung vorgesehen. Unter der Neigung in radialer Richtung ist dabei zu verstehen, dass die Strömungsführungswand an unterschiedlichen Radialpositionen unterschiedliche Axialpositionen aufweisen, also beispielsweise in radialer Richtung von innen nach außen gesehen in axialer Richtung nach hinten oder vorne oder allgemeiner in die eine oder andere Richtung gekippt sind. Die Neigung in tangentialer Richtung ist derart vorgesehen, dass die Strömungsführungswand an unterschiedlichen Tangentialpositionen unterschiedliche Axialpositionen aufweist. Die tangentiale Richtung kann alternativ auch als Umfangsrichtung und entsprechend die Tangentialposition als Umfangsposition bezeichnet werden. Die Neigung in tangentialer Richtung ist beispielsweise derart gerichtet, dass eine eventuell vorliegende Umfangskomponente der Strömung in eine Axialkomponente umgesetzt wird.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the inner flow guide wall and / or the outer flow guide wall are inclined in the radial direction and / or in the tangential direction, in particular are inclined in opposite directions. In addition or as an alternative to the curvature of the respective flow guide wall described above, it can be inclined. The inclination is provided in the radial direction and / or in the circumferential direction. The inclination in the radial direction is to be understood as meaning that the flow guide wall has different axial positions at different radial positions, for example, as seen in the radial direction from the inside to the outside, is tilted in the axial direction backwards or forwards or more generally in one direction or the other. The inclination in the tangential direction is provided such that the flow guide wall has different axial positions at different tangential positions. The tangential The direction can alternatively also be referred to as the circumferential direction and accordingly the tangential position as the circumferential position. The inclination in the tangential direction is directed, for example, in such a way that any circumferential component of the flow that may be present is converted into an axial component.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die äußere Strömungsführungswand an eine in axialer Richtung innenliegende Stirnfläche der Zwischenwand unmittelbar angrenzt und die innere Strömungsführungswand über einen die Zwischenwand fortsetzenden Verbindungssteg an der Stirnfläche der Zwischenwand angreift. Die Zwischenwand ist bevorzugt in axialer Richtung nicht durchgehend ausgestaltet, sondern ist in zwei Zwischenwandbereiche unterteilt, welche in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet sind. Die Zwischenwand beziehungsweise einer der Zwischenwandbereiche weist insoweit eine in axialer Richtung innenliegende Stirnfläche auf. Von dieser geht die äußere Strömungsführungswand vorzugsweise unmittelbar aus. Für die innere Strömungsführungswand trifft dies nicht zu. Vielmehr ist diese über den Verbindungssteg an die Stirnfläche angebunden. Der Verbindungssteg setzt die Zwischenwand fort und bildet insoweit eine Verlängerung in axialer Richtung von diesem. Bevorzugt wird der Verbindungssteg in Umfangsrichtung beidseitig jeweils von einer äußeren Strömungsführungswand begrenzt.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the outer flow guide wall directly adjoins an axially inner end face of the partition and the inner flow guide wall engages the end face of the partition via a connecting web continuing the partition. The intermediate wall is preferably not designed continuously in the axial direction, but is divided into two intermediate wall areas which are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. The intermediate wall or one of the intermediate wall areas has to this extent an end face lying on the inside in the axial direction. The outer flow guide wall preferably starts directly from this. This does not apply to the inner flow guide wall. Rather, it is connected to the end face via the connecting web. The connecting web continues the intermediate wall and in this respect forms an extension of it in the axial direction. The connecting web is preferably delimited on both sides in the circumferential direction by an outer flow guide wall.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung zwei in axialer Richtung aneinander angrenzende Axialbereiche aufweist, wobei jeder der Axialbereiche einen Innenwandbereich der Innenwand, einen Zwischenwandbereich der Zwischenwand, einen Außenwandbereich der Außenwand und Radialstegbereiche der Radialstege aufweist, wobei die Außenwandbereiche, die Innenwandbereiche und die Radialstegbareiche aneinander angrenzen und die Zwischenwandbereiche miteinander fluchtend in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet sind. Auf eine derartige Ausgestaltung wurde bereits hingewiesen. Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung ist insoweit in zwei Bereiche, nämlich die beiden Axialbereiche, aufteilbar. Dabei weisen die beiden Axialbereiche dieselbe Erstreckung in axialer Richtung auf, verfügen also über dieselbe Axialerstreckung.According to the invention it is provided that the fluid deflection device has two axial areas adjoining one another in the axial direction, each of the axial areas having an inner wall area of the inner wall, an intermediate wall area of the intermediate wall, an outer wall area of the outer wall and radial web areas of the radial webs, the outer wall areas, the inner wall areas and Radialstegbareiche adjoin one another and the partition areas are aligned with one another and spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. Such a design has already been pointed out. The fluid deflection device can be divided into two areas, namely the two axial areas. The two axial areas have the same extension in the axial direction, that is, they have the same axial extension.

Die Innenwandbereiche und die Außenwandbereiche grenzen in axialer Richtung unmittelbar aneinander an, sodass die Innenwand und die Außenwand jeweils als durchgehender Kreiszylinder vorliegen. Auch die Radialstegbereiche der Radialstege liegen in axialer Richtung gesehen unmittelbar aneinander an, sodass in axialer Richtung durchgehende Axialstege ausgestaltet sind. Die Zwischenwandbereiche sind jedoch in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet und liegen jeweils als Kreiszylinder vor. Die Ausbildung der Zwischenwand beziehungsweise der Zwischenwandbereiche ermöglicht eine einfache Fluidtrennung der inneren Fluidanschlüsse von den äußeren Fluidanschlüssen und insoweit eine kompakte Ausgestaltung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung.The inner wall areas and the outer wall areas directly adjoin one another in the axial direction, so that the inner wall and the outer wall are each present as a continuous circular cylinder. The radial web areas of the radial webs also lie directly against one another, viewed in the axial direction, so that continuous axial webs are configured in the axial direction. However, the intermediate wall areas are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction and are located each as a circular cylinder. The design of the intermediate wall or the intermediate wall areas enables a simple fluid separation of the inner fluid connections from the outer fluid connections and, in this respect, a compact design of the fluid deflection device.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass in jedem der Axialbereiche in Umfangsrichtung abwechselnd eine innere Strömungsführungswand und eine äußere Strömungsführungswand an dem jeweiligen Zwischenwandbereich angreifen, sodass die Strömungsführungswände der Axialbereiche in in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandeten Reihen angeordnet sind. In jedem der Axialbereiche liegen insoweit jeweils wenigstens eine innere Strömungsführungswand und eine äußere Strömungsführungswand vor, vorzugsweise jedoch jeweils mehrere innere Strömungsführungswände sowie mehrere äußere Strömungsführungswände.A further development of the invention provides that in each of the axial regions in the circumferential direction an inner flow guide wall and an outer flow guide wall alternately engage the respective intermediate wall region so that the flow guide walls of the axial regions are arranged in rows spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. In each of the axial regions there are at least one inner flow guide wall and one outer flow guide wall, but preferably a plurality of inner flow guide walls and a plurality of outer flow guide walls.

Die wenigstens eine Strömungsführungswand und die wenigstens eine äußere Strömungsführungswand jedes der Axialbereiche liegen in axialer Richtung gesehen beziehungsweise im Längsschnitt gesehen wenigstens bereichsweise in Überdeckung zueinander vor. Die Strömungsführungswände der unterschiedlichen Axialbereiche sind jedoch in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet oder grenzen allenfalls in axialer Richtung unmittelbar aneinander an. In jedem Fall liegen jedoch die Strömungsführungswände eines der Axialbereiche in einer ersten Reihe und die Strömungsführungswände eines anderen der Axialbereiche in einer zweiten Reihe vor, wobei die beiden Reihen in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet sind.The at least one flow guiding wall and the at least one outer flow guiding wall of each of the axial regions are at least partially overlapping one another when viewed in the axial direction or when viewed in longitudinal section. The flow guide walls of the different axial regions, however, are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction or at most directly adjoin one another in the axial direction. In any case, however, the flow guide walls of one of the axial regions are in a first row and the flow guide walls of another of the axial regions are in a second row, the two rows being spaced apart from one another in the axial direction.

Weiter sieht die Erfindung vor, dass jeder der Axialbereiche jeweils von einem Fluidverteilungselement ausgebildet ist und die Fluidverteilungselemente als Gleichteile vorliegen. Die Fluidverteilungselemente sind vollständig identisch zueinander aufgebaut und werden zur Ausbildung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung aneinander angeordnet, insbesondere aneinander befestigt. Das Befestigen kann grundsätzlich auf beliebige Art und Weise erfolgen, beispielsweise ist eine formschlüssige und/oder eine stoffschlüssige Befestigung vorgesehen. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Fluidverteilungselemente als Gleichteile ermöglicht eine kostengünstige Herstellung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung, weil die Fluidverteilungselemente mittels desselben Werkzeugs herstellbar sind, beispielsweise durch Spritzgießen oder dergleichen.The invention further provides that each of the axial regions is formed by a fluid distribution element and the fluid distribution elements are present as identical parts. The fluid distribution elements are constructed completely identical to one another and are arranged on one another, in particular fastened on one another, to form the fluid deflection device. The fastening can in principle take place in any manner, for example a form-fitting and / or a material-fitting fastening is provided. The inventive design of the fluid distribution elements as identical parts enables the fluid deflection device to be manufactured inexpensively because the fluid distribution elements can be manufactured using the same tool, for example by injection molding or the like.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist auch vorgesehen, dass die Fluidverteilungselemente in Umfangsrichtung winkelversetzt miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Fluidverteilungselemente werden insoweit nicht in derselben Winkelorientierung miteinander verbunden, sondern vielmehr ist ein Winkelversatz um bevorzugt einen der Radialstege vorgesehen. Der Winkelversatz wird derart gewählt, dass die eingangs beschriebene Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten äußeren Fluideinschluss einerseits und dem ersteren Fluidanschluss und dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss andererseits realisiert ist.According to the invention it is also provided that the fluid distribution elements are connected to one another at an angle offset in the circumferential direction. The two fluid distribution elements are not connected to one another in the same angular orientation, but rather rather, an angular offset is preferably provided around one of the radial webs. The angular offset is selected such that the fluid connection described at the beginning is realized between the first inner fluid connection and the second outer fluid inclusion on the one hand and the first fluid connection and the second inner fluid connection on the other hand.

Im Rahmen einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der erste innere Fluidanschluss und der zweite innere Fluidanschluss denselben Durchströmungsquerschnitt aufweisen und/oder dass der erste äußere Fluidanschluss und der zweite äußere Fluidanschluss denselben Durchströmungsquerschnitt aufweisen. Dies wird insbesondere durch die koaxiale Anordnung der Zwischenwandbereiche erzielt. Die Innenwand und die Außenwand sind hierbei ohnehin in axialer Richtung durchgehend ausgestaltet und kreiszylinderförmig. Selbstverständlich können grundsätzlich auch verschiedene Durchströmungsquerschnitte realisiert werden, sodass also der erste innere Fluidanschluss und der zweite innere Fluidanschluss und/oder der erste äußere Fluidanschluss und der zweite äußere Fluidanschluss (jeweils) zueinander verschiedene Durchströmungsquerschnitte aufweisen.Within the scope of a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the first inner fluid connection and the second inner fluid connection have the same flow cross section and / or that the first outer fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection have the same flow cross section. This is achieved in particular by the coaxial arrangement of the intermediate wall areas. The inner wall and the outer wall are in any case designed continuously in the axial direction and are circular-cylindrical. Of course, in principle different flow cross-sections can also be implemented, so that the first inner fluid connection and the second inner fluid connection and / or the first outer fluid connection and the second outer fluid connection (each) have different flow cross-sections from one another.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass eine der ersten axialen Seite zugewandte Stirnfläche der Innenwand in axialer Richtung in Richtung der zweiten axialen Seite versetzt und/oder eine der zweiten axialen Seite zugewandte Stirnfläche der Innenwand in axialer Richtung in Richtung der ersten axialen Seite versetzt angeordnet ist, insbesondere jeweils zur Ausbildung einer Aufnahmekammer, vorzugsweise für eine Ventilatoreinrichtung und/oder einer Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung. Vorstehend wurde bereits erläutert, dass die Stirnseiten beziehungsweise Stirnflächen der Außenwand und der Zwischenwand in axialer Richtung gesehen vorzugsweise miteinander fluchten, insbesondere auf beiden Seiten der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung in axialer Richtung. Im Gegensatz hierzu können die Stirnflächen der Innenwände oder zumindest eine der Stirnflächen in axialer Richtung nach innen versetzt sein, sodass zum einen in dem ersten Strömungsbereich die erste Strömungskammer beziehungsweise die zweite Strömungskammer in radialer Richtung innen unbegrenzt ist, sich also bis hin zu der Längsmittelachse erstreckt und zum anderen die Anordnung weiterer Einrichtungen möglich ist.A further development of the invention provides that an end face of the inner wall facing the first axial side is offset in the axial direction towards the second axial side and / or an end face of the inner wall facing the second axial side is offset in the axial direction towards the first axial side is, in particular, in each case for the formation of a receiving chamber, preferably for a fan device and / or a cross-section adjustment device. It has already been explained above that the end faces or end faces of the outer wall and the intermediate wall, viewed in the axial direction, are preferably aligned with one another, in particular on both sides of the fluid deflection device in the axial direction. In contrast to this, the end faces of the inner walls or at least one of the end faces can be offset inward in the axial direction, so that on the one hand the first flow chamber or the second flow chamber is unlimited inward in the radial direction in the first flow area, i.e. extends up to the longitudinal center axis and on the other hand, the arrangement of further facilities is possible.

Vorzugsweise dient das Zurücksetzen der Stirnfläche der Ausbildung der Aufnahmekammer für die Ventilatoreinrichtung und/oder für die Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung. Die Ventilatoreinrichtung weist beispielsweise ein Laufrad auf, das in der Aufnahmekammer angeordnet ist, wohingegen ein Motor der Ventilatoreinrichtung in einer von der Innenwand in radialer Richtung nach außen begrenzten Kammer angeordnet sein kann. Zusätzlich oder alternativ zur Ventilatoreinrichtung kann in der Aufnahmekammer die Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen sein, mittels welcher der Durchströmungsquerschnitt wenigstens einer der Strömungskammer, bevorzugt beider Strömungskammern, einstellbar ist. Bevorzugt ist der Durchströmungsquerschnitt mittels der Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung beliebig einstellbar, insbesondere die Strömungsverbindung wahlweise vollständig unterbrechbar oder vollständig freigebbar. Die Aufnahmekammer ist in ihren Abmessungen vorzugsweise an die Ventilatoreinrichtung beziehungsweise die Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung angepasst, beispielsweise liegt ein Motor der Ventilatoreinrichtung mit seiner Außenumfangsfläche zumindest abschnittsweise an einer die Aufnahmekammer begrenzenden Innenumfangsfläche an, insbesondere derart, dass er kraftschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig in der Aufnahmekammer festgesetzt ist. Alternativ kann die Aufnahmekammer selbstverständlich mit massivem Material gefüllt sein, welches insbesondere einstückig und/oder materialeinheitlich mit der Innenwand ist.The resetting of the end face is preferably used to form the receiving chamber for the fan device and / or for the cross-section adjustment device. The fan device has, for example, an impeller which is arranged in the receiving chamber, whereas a motor of the fan device can be arranged in a chamber delimited outward in the radial direction by the inner wall. In addition or as an alternative to the fan device For example, the cross-section adjustment device can be provided in the receiving chamber, by means of which the flow cross-section of at least one of the flow chambers, preferably both flow chambers, can be adjusted. The flow cross-section can preferably be set as desired by means of the cross-section adjustment device, in particular the flow connection can optionally be completely interrupted or completely released. The dimensions of the receiving chamber are preferably adapted to the fan device or the cross-section adjustment device, for example a motor of the fan device rests with its outer circumferential surface at least in sections on an inner circumferential surface delimiting the receiving chamber, in particular in such a way that it is fixed in the receiving chamber in a force-locking and / or form-fitting manner. Alternatively, the receiving chamber can of course be filled with solid material, which is in particular in one piece and / or of the same material with the inner wall.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein lufttechnisches Gerät, welches eine Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung gemäß den vorstehenden Ausführungen aufweist.The invention further relates to a ventilation device which has a fluid deflection device according to the above statements.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert, ohne dass eine Beschränkung der Erfindung erfolgt. Dabei zeigt:

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1, wie sie beispielsweise in einem hier nicht dargestellten lufttechnischen Gerät 2 verbaut sein kann. Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 weist eine Innenwand 3, eine Zwischenwand 4 sowie eine Außenwand 5 auf. Sie setzt sich grundsätzlich aus zwei Fluidverteilungselementen 6 und 7 zusammen, welche in einer gedachten Trennebene 8 unmittelbar aneinander angrenzen.The Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a fluid deflection device 1, as it can be installed, for example, in a ventilation device 2 (not shown here). The fluid deflection device 1 has an inner wall 3, an intermediate wall 4 and an outer wall 5. It is basically composed of two fluid distribution elements 6 and 7, which directly adjoin one another in an imaginary parting plane 8.

Es ist zumindest ansatzweise erkennbar, dass sich die Außenwand 5 aus zwei in axialer Richtung aneinander angrenzenden Außenwandbereichen 9 und 10 zusammensetzt beziehungsweise diese aufweist. Die Zwischenwand 4 weist Zwischenwandbereiche 11 und 12 auf, die in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet vorliegen. Die Innenwand 3 wiederum weist Innenwandbereiche 13 und 14 auf, von welchen hier lediglich der Innenwandbereich 13 erkennbar ist. Die Innenwandbereiche 13 und 14 liegen analog zu den Außenwandbereichen 9 und 10 in axialer Richtung unmittelbar aneinander an, sodass die Innenwand 3 und die Außenwand 5 jeweils in Form eines durchgehenden Kreiszylinders ausgestaltet sind. Hingegen bilden die Zwischenwandbereiche 11 und 12 jeweils einen separaten Kreiszylinder.It can be seen, at least to some extent, that the outer wall 5 is composed or has two outer wall areas 9 and 10 adjoining one another in the axial direction. The intermediate wall 4 has intermediate wall regions 11 and 12 which are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. The inner wall 3 in turn has inner wall areas 13 and 14, of which only the inner wall area 13 can be seen here. The inner wall areas 13 and 14, analogously to the outer wall areas 9 and 10, lie directly against one another in the axial direction, so that the inner wall 3 and the outer wall 5 are each designed in the form of a continuous circular cylinder. In contrast, the intermediate wall areas 11 and 12 each form a separate circular cylinder.

Zusätzlich zu den genannten Wänden 3, 4 und 5 verfügt die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 über mehrere Radialstege 15, von welchen lediglich einige rein beispielhaft gekennzeichnet sind. Die Radialstege erstrecken sich in radialer Richtung vorzugsweise durchgehend ausgehend von der Innenwand 3 bis hin zu der Außenwand 5, verbinden diese also. Zusätzlich ist die Zwischenwand 4 über die Radialstege 15 einerseits mit der Innenwand 3 und andererseits mit der Außenwand 5 verbunden.In addition to the walls 3, 4 and 5 mentioned, the fluid deflection device 1 has several radial webs 15, only a few of which are marked purely by way of example. The radial webs extend in the radial direction, preferably continuously, starting from the inner wall 3 up to the outer wall 5, that is to say connect them. In addition, the intermediate wall 4 is connected to the inner wall 3 on the one hand and to the outer wall 5 on the other hand via the radial webs 15.

Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 verfügt über zwei in axialer Richtung gegenüberliegende Seiten. Auf einer ersten Seite sind ein erster innerer Fluidanschluss 16 sowie ein erster äußerer Fluidanschluss 17 vorgesehen. Auf der zweiten Seite hingegen (hier nicht erkennbar) ein zweiter innerer Fluidanschluss 18 und ein zweiter äußerer Fluidanschluss 19. Die inneren Fluidanschlüsse 16 und 18 sind in radialer Richtung nach außen von der Zwischenwand 4 begrenzt. Die äußeren Fluidanschlüsse 17 und 19 liegen in radialer Richtung gesehen zwischen der Zwischenwand 4 und der Außenwand 5 vor, werden also nach innen von der Zwischenwand 4 und nach außen von der Außenwand 5 begrenzt.The fluid deflection device 1 has two opposite sides in the axial direction. A first inner fluid connection 16 and a first outer fluid connection 17 are provided on a first side. On the other hand, on the second side (not visible here) a second inner fluid connection 18 and a second outer fluid connection 19. The inner fluid connections 16 and 18 are delimited outward in the radial direction by the intermediate wall 4. The outer fluid connections 17 and 19 are located between the intermediate wall 4 and the outer wall 5, seen in the radial direction, that is to say they are delimited inwardly by the intermediate wall 4 and outwardly by the outer wall 5.

Es ist nun vorgesehen, dass der erste innere Fluidanschluss 16 mit dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss 19 in Fluidverbindung steht und von dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss und selbstverständlich auch von dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss 17 fluidtechnisch getrennt ist. Der erste äußere Fluidanschluss 17 soll hingegen mit dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss 18 in Fluidverbindung stehen und von dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss 19 und selbstredend auch von dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss 16 fluidtechnisch getrennt sein. Die Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten inneren Fluidanschluss 16 und dem zweiten äußeren Fluidanschluss 19 liegt dabei über wenigstens eine erste Strömungskammer 20 und die Fluidverbindung zwischen dem ersten äußeren Fluidanschluss 17 und dem zweiten inneren Fluidanschluss 18 über wenigstens eine zweite Strömungskammer 21 vor.It is now provided that the first inner fluid connection 16 is in fluid connection with the second outer fluid connection 19 and is fluidly separated from the second inner fluid connection and of course also from the first outer fluid connection 17. In contrast, the first outer fluid connection 17 should be in fluid connection with the second inner fluid connection 18 and be fluidically separated from the second outer fluid connection 19 and of course also from the first inner fluid connection 16. The fluid connection between the first inner fluid connection 16 and the second outer fluid connection 19 is via at least one first flow chamber 20 and the fluid connection between the first outer fluid connection 17 and the second inner fluid connection 18 is via at least one second flow chamber 21.

In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind mehrere erste Strömungskammern 20 und mehrere zweite Strömungskammern 21 ausgebildet, welche in Umfangsrichtung gesehen abwechselnd ausgebildet sind. Die ersten Strömungskammern 20 und die zweiten Strömungskammern 21 sind hier lediglich beispielhaft angedeutet und durchgreifen die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 jeweils ausgehend von einem der Fluidanschlüsse auf der ersten Seite bis hin zu einem anderen der Fluidanschlüsse auf der anderen Seite. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein von der Innenwand 3 in radialer Richtung nach außen begrenzter Innenraum 22 (hier nicht erkennbar) in axialer Richtung gesehen wenigstens einseitig mittels eines Deckels 23 verschlossen. Vorzugsweise ist der Innenraum 22 beidseitig mittels Deckeln 23 verschlossen. Der Deckel 23 beziehungsweise die Deckel 23 sind hierbei bevorzugt einstückig und/oder materialeinheitlich mit der Innenwand 3 ausgestaltet. Der Deckel 23 kann grundsätzlich eine beliebige Form aufweisen. Beispielsweise ist er durchgehend plan, kegelförmig, kegelstumpfförmig oder teilkugelförmig, insbesondere halbkugelförmig.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, a plurality of first flow chambers 20 and a plurality of second flow chambers 21 are formed, which are formed alternately as seen in the circumferential direction. The first flow chambers 20 and the second flow chambers 21 are only indicated here by way of example and each reach through the fluid deflection device 1 starting from one of the fluid connections on the first side to another of the fluid connections on the other side. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, an interior space 22 (not recognizable here), which is delimited outward in the radial direction by the inner wall 3, is closed at least on one side by means of a cover 23 when viewed in the axial direction. The interior 22 is preferably closed on both sides by means of covers 23. The cover 23 or the cover 23 are preferably designed in one piece and / or made of the same material with the inner wall 3. The cover 23 can in principle have any shape. For example, it is continuously planar, conical, frustoconical or part-spherical, in particular hemispherical.

Die Figur 2 zeigt rein beispielhaft das Fluidverteilungselement 7. Deutlich erkennbar ist hier die Trennebene 8, in welcher die Außenwandbereiche 9 und 10 und die Innenwandbereiche 13 und 14 aneinander angrenzen. Es wird deutlich, dass das Fluidverteilungselement 7 eine Vielzahl von Radialstegen 15 beziehungsweise Radialstegbereichen aufweist. Jeweils zwei der Radialstege 15 begrenzt zwischen sich eine der ersten Strömungskammern 20 oder eine der zweiten Strömungskammern 21. Vorzugsweise begrenzt jeder der Radialstege 15 in Umfangsrichtung gesehen einerseits eine der ersten Strömungskammern 20 und andererseits eine der zweiten Strömungskammern 21. Es ist weiter erkennbar, dass in Umfangsrichtung gesehen sich die ersten Strömungskammern 20 mit den zweiten Strömungskammern 21 abwechseln.The Figure 2 shows, purely by way of example, the fluid distribution element 7. The parting plane 8, in which the outer wall areas 9 and 10 and the inner wall areas 13 and 14 adjoin one another, can be clearly seen here. It is clear that the fluid distribution element 7 has a multiplicity of radial webs 15 or radial web regions. In each case two of the radial webs 15 delimit one of the first flow chambers 20 or one of the second flow chambers 21 between them. Preferably, each of the radial webs 15, viewed in the circumferential direction, delimits one of the first flow chambers 20 on the one hand and one of the second flow chambers 21 on the other Viewed in the circumferential direction, the first flow chambers 20 alternate with the second flow chambers 21.

Zur Ausbildung der Strömungskammern 20 und 21 sind jeweils zwei der Radialstege 15 mittels einer inneren Strömungsführungswand 24 oder einer äußeren Strömungsführungswand 25 miteinander verbunden. Bevorzugt wechseln sich die inneren Strömungsführungswände 24 und die äußeren Strömungsführungswände 25 in Umfangsrichtung ab. Von jedem der Radialstege 15 geht also in Umfangsrichtung einerseits eine innere Strömungsführungswand 24, jedoch keine äußere Strömungsführungswand 25, und andererseits eine äußere Strömungsführungswand 25, jedoch keine innere Strömungsführungswand 24 aus. In anderen Worten nehmen jeweils genau eine der inneren Strömungsführungswände 24 und genau eine der äußeren Strömungsführungswände 25 jeweils genau einen Radialsteg 15 zwischen sich auf beziehungsweise grenzen unmittelbar an diesen an.To form the flow chambers 20 and 21, two of the radial webs 15 are connected to one another by means of an inner flow guide wall 24 or an outer flow guide wall 25. The inner flow guide walls 24 and the outer flow guide walls 25 preferably alternate in the circumferential direction. From each of the radial webs 15, on the one hand, an inner flow guide wall 24, but no outer flow guide wall 25, and on the other hand an outer flow guide wall 25, but no inner flow guide wall 24 extend in the circumferential direction. In other words, exactly one of the inner flow guide walls 24 and exactly one of the outer flow guide walls 25 each have exactly one radial web 15 between them or directly adjoin them.

Die Figur 3 zeigt eine Längsschnittdarstellung durch die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 entlang einer Längsmittelachse 26. Die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 weist in dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beidseitig jeweils eine Aufnahmekammer 27 beziehungsweise 28 auf, die durch ein Zurücktreten der Innenwand 3 in axialer Richtung nach innen, also in Richtung der Trennebene 8, realisiert ist. Die Innenwand 3 weist in axialer Richtung einander gegenüberliegende Stirnflächen 29 und 30, die Zwischenwand 4 in axialer Richtung einander gegenüberliegende Stirnflächen 31 und 32 sowie die Außenwand 5 in axialer Richtung einander gegenüberliegende Stirnflächen 33 und 34 auf.The Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view through the fluid deflection device 1 along a longitudinal center axis 26. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the fluid deflection device 1 has a receiving chamber 27 or 28 on both sides, which by stepping back the inner wall 3 in the axial direction inward, i.e. in the direction of the parting plane 8, is realized. The inner wall 3 has end faces 29 and 30 opposite one another in the axial direction, the intermediate wall 4 has end faces 31 and 32 opposite one another in the axial direction, and the outer wall 5 has end faces 33 and 34 opposite one another in the axial direction.

Es wird deutlich, dass die Stirnflächen 31 und 33 einerseits sowie die Stirnflächen 32 und 34 andererseits jeweils in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, wobei diese Ebene senkrecht auf der Längsmittelachse 26 steht. Die Stirnflächen 29 und 30 sind hingegen in axialer Richtung nach innen aufeinander zu versetzt, um die Aufnahmekammern 27 und 28 auszubilden. In den Aufnahmekammern 27 und 28 ist jeweils ein Laufrad 35 einer Ventilatoreinrichtung 36 angeordnet. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Laufräder 35 mittels desselben Motors 37 antreibbar sind, welcher in dem Innenraum 22 angeordnet ist.It is clear that the end faces 31 and 33 on the one hand and the end faces 32 and 34 on the other hand each lie in a common plane, this plane being perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis 26. The end faces 29 and 30, on the other hand, are offset inwardly towards one another in the axial direction in order to form the receiving chambers 27 and 28. An impeller 35 of a fan device 36 is arranged in each of the receiving chambers 27 and 28. It can be provided that the running wheels 35 can be driven by means of the same motor 37 which is arranged in the interior 22.

Die Strömungskammern 20 und 21 sind in axialer Richtung gesehen jeweils in einen ersten Strömungsbereich, einen zweiten Strömungsbereich und einen dritten Strömungsbereich gedanklich aufteilbar. In dem ersten Strömungsbereich werden sie in radialer Richtung außen von der Zwischenwand 4, in dem zweiten Strömungsbereich in radialer Richtung innen von der Innenwand 3 und in radialer Richtung außen von der Außenwand 5 und in dem dritten Strömungsbereich in radialer Richtung innen von der Zwischenwand 4 und außen von der Außenwand 5 begrenzt.The flow chambers 20 and 21, viewed in the axial direction, can each be conceptually divided into a first flow area, a second flow area and a third flow area. In the first flow area they are in the radial direction outside from the partition 4, in the second flow area in the radial direction inside from the inner wall 3 and in the radial direction outside from the outside wall 5 and in the third flow area in the radial direction inside from the partition 4 and bounded on the outside by the outer wall 5.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine alternative Ausgestaltung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1. Grundsätzlich wird auf die vorstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen und lediglich auf die Unterschiede eingegangen. Anstelle der Ventilatoreinrichtung 36 mit dem Laufrad 35 und dem Motor 37 ist nunmehr eine Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung 38 wenigstens bereichsweise in der Aufnahmekammer 27 angeordnet. Die Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung 38 weist eine verstellbare Blende 39 auf, mittels welcher der Durchströmungsquerschnitt der ersten Strömungskammer 20 (in dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel) verstellbar ist. Selbstverständlich kann die Querschnittsverstelleinrichtung 38 zusätzlich oder alternativ eine Blende aufweisen, welche dem Einstellen des Durchströmungsquerschnitts der zweiten Strömungskammer 21 dient. Die Blende 39 ist beispielsweise mittels eines Motors verstellbar, welcher analog zu dem Motor 37 in dem Innenraum 22 angeordnet ist.The Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the fluid deflection device 1. Basically, reference is made to the above statements and only the differences are discussed. Instead of the fan device 36 with the impeller 35 and the motor 37, a cross-section adjustment device 38 is now arranged at least in some areas in the receiving chamber 27. The cross-section adjustment device 38 has an adjustable diaphragm 39, by means of which the flow cross-section of the first flow chamber 20 (in the exemplary embodiment shown here) can be adjusted. Of course, the cross-section adjustment device 38 can additionally or alternatively have a screen which is used to adjust the flow cross-section of the second flow chamber 21. The screen 39 can be adjusted, for example, by means of a motor which is arranged in the interior 22 analogously to the motor 37.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 in einer zweiten Ausführungsform. Diese ist weitgehend identisch mit der bereits beschriebenen Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 aufgebaut, sodass auf die vorstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen und nachfolgend lediglich auf die Unterschiede eingegangen wird. Diese liegen darin, dass die innere Strömungsführungswand 24 und/oder die äußere Strömungsführungswand 25 nun nicht lediglich in Umfangsrichtung gekrümmt, sondern zusätzlich geneigt angeordnet sind. In anderen Worten sind die innere Strömungsführungswand 24, die äußere Strömungsführungswand 25 oder beide in Umfangsrichtung angestellt. Dies kann zusätzlich oder alternativ zu der Krümmung vorgesehen sein. Beispielsweise sind die innere Strömungsführungswand 24 und/oder die äußere Strömungsführungswand 25 bereichsweise plan ausgebildet beziehungsweise liegen bereichsweise in einer gedachten Ebene. Der plane Bereich beziehungsweise die gedachte Ebene ist nun gegenüber der Längsmittelachse 26 angewinkelt, schließt mit dieser also einen Winkel ein, der größer als 0° und kleiner als 180° ist.The Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of the fluid deflection device 1 in a second embodiment. This has a largely identical structure to the fluid deflection device 1 already described, so that reference is made to the above statements and only the differences are discussed below. These are due to the fact that the inner flow guide wall 24 and / or the outer flow guide wall 25 are not only curved in the circumferential direction, but are also arranged inclined. In other words, the inner flow guiding wall 24, the outer flow guiding wall 25 or both are positioned in the circumferential direction. This can be provided in addition to or as an alternative to the curvature. For example, the inner flow guiding wall 24 and / or the outer flow guiding wall 25 are designed to be planar in areas or are located in areas in an imaginary plane. The planar area or the imaginary plane is now angled with respect to the longitudinal center axis 26, so it forms an angle with it that is greater than 0 ° and less than 180 °.

Die Neigung der inneren Strömungsführungswand 24 und/oder der äußeren Strömungsführungswand 25 ist beispielsweise einer Drehrichtung einer die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 durchströmenden Strömung entgegengerichtet. Insbesondere ist die Neigung einer Drehrichtung des jeweils nächstliegenden Laufrads 35 entgegengerichtet, um insoweit die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Strömung zu reduzieren, die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des von dem Laufrad 35 geförderten Fluids also stromabwärts des Laufrads 35 zu reduzieren. Mit einer derartigen Ausgestaltung der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 wird eine gleichmäßigere Durchströmung realisiert. Für alle Ausführungsformen der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Radialstege 15 geneigt und/oder gekrümmt sind, jeweils in axialer und/oder radialer und/oder tangentialer Richtung. Beispielsweise sind die Radialstege 15 beziehungsweise ist jeder der Radialstege 15 derart geneigt, insbesondere in axialer Richtung, dass ein Diffusor ausgebildet ist, insbesondere also die erste Strömungskammer 20 und/oder die zweite Strömungskammer 21 (jeweils) diffusorartig ausgestaltet sind und mithin in Strömungsrichtung einen größer werdenden Durchströmungsquerschnitt aufweisen. In anderen Worten weist der erste innere Fluidanschluss 16 einen kleineren Durchströmungsquerschnitt auf als der mit ihm in Strömungsverbindung stehende zweite äußere Fluidanschluss 19 und/oder der erste äußere Fluidanschluss 17 einen kleineren Durchströmungsquerschnitt als der mit ihm in Strömungsverbindung stehende zweite innere Fluidanschluss 18. Alternativ kann selbstverständlich eine düsenartige Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, bei welcher die Verhältnisse der Durchströmungsquerschnitte umgekehrt sind. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können die Radialstege 15 in Umfangsrichtung und/oder in tangentialer Richtung geneigt sein. Auch eine Krümmung der Radialstege 15 kann realisiert sein, insbesondere eine Krümmung in radialer Richtung.The inclination of the inner flow guiding wall 24 and / or the outer flow guiding wall 25 is, for example, opposite to a direction of rotation of a flow flowing through the fluid deflection device 1. In particular, the inclination of a direction of rotation of the respectively closest impeller 35 is directed in order to reduce the circumferential speed of the flow, that is, to reduce the circumferential speed of the fluid conveyed by the impeller 35 downstream of the impeller 35. With such a configuration of the fluid deflection device 1, a more uniform flow is achieved. For all embodiments of the fluid deflection device 1 it can be provided that the radial webs 15 are inclined and / or curved, in each case in the axial and / or radial and / or tangential direction. For example, the radial webs 15 or each of the radial webs 15 are inclined in such a way, in particular in the axial direction, that a diffuser is formed, in particular that the first flow chamber 20 and / or the second flow chamber 21 are (each) configured like a diffuser and are therefore one larger in the flow direction will have the flow cross-section. In other words, the first inner fluid connection 16 has a smaller flow cross section than the second outer fluid connection 19 which is in flow connection with it and / or the first outer fluid connection 17 has a smaller flow cross section than the second inner fluid connection 18 which is in flow connection with it a nozzle-like configuration can be provided in which the ratios of the flow cross-sections are reversed. Alternatively or additionally, the radial webs 15 can be inclined in the circumferential direction and / or in the tangential direction. A curvature of the radial webs 15 can also be implemented, in particular a curvature in the radial direction.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine erste Ausgestaltung des lufttechnischen Geräts 2, welches eine Mauer 40 durchgreift. Das lufttechnische Gerät 2 verfügt über einen Innenanschluss 41 mit einer Innenraumblende 42 einerseits der Mauer 40. Auf der dem Innenanschluss 41 gegenüberliegenden Seite des lufttechnischen Geräts 2 ist ein Außenanschluss 43 mit einer Außenblende 44 andererseits der Mauer 40 vorgesehen. Mittels des lufttechnischen Geräts 2 werden zwei Durchströmungswege 45 und 46 realisiert. In dem Durchströmungsweg 45 sind innenseitig ein Kreisfilter 47 und außenseitig ein Ringfilter 48 und in dem Durchströmungsweg 46 innenseitig ein Ringfilter 49 und außenseitig ein Kreisfilter 50 vorgesehen. In beiden Durchströmungswegen 45 und 46 sind ein Wärmespeicher 51 und die Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 angeordnet. Der Wärmespeicher 51 ist dabei vorzugsweise für beide Durchströmungswege 45 und 46 einstückig ausgebildet und liegt beispielsweise in Form eines Keramikwärmespeichers, insbesondere eines Keramikwabenwärmespeichers, vor.The Figure 6 shows a first embodiment of the ventilation device 2, which extends through a wall 40. The ventilation device 2 has an internal connection 41 with an interior panel 42 on one side of the wall 40. On the side of the ventilation device 2 opposite the internal connection 41, an external connection 43 with an external panel 44 on the other side of the wall 40 is provided. By means of the ventilation device 2, two flow paths 45 and 46 are implemented. A circular filter 47 is provided on the inside and a ring filter 48 on the outside, and a ring filter 49 on the inside and a circular filter 50 on the outside is provided in the flow path 46. A heat accumulator 51 and the fluid deflection device 1 are arranged in both flow paths 45 and 46. The heat accumulator 51 is preferably designed in one piece for both flow paths 45 and 46 and is, for example, in the form of a ceramic heat accumulator, in particular a ceramic honeycomb heat accumulator.

Die Figur 7 zeigt eine zweite Variante des lufttechnischen Geräts 2. Nachfolgend wird auf die vorstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen und lediglich auf die Unterschiede eingegangen. Diese liegen darin, dass anstelle des Wärmespeichers 51 zwei Teilwärmespeicher 52 und 53 vorgesehen sind, welche in Durchströmungsrichtung beidseitig der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 angeordnet sind. In anderen Worten ist der Teilwärmespeicher 52 innenseitig beziehungsweise einerseits und der Teilwärmespeicher 53 außenseitig beziehungsweise andererseits der Fluidumlenkungseinrichtung 1 vorgesehen. Die Durchströmungswege 45 und 46 entsprechen im Wesentlichen den vorstehend beschriebenen. Grundsätzlich sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die Durchströmungswege 45 und 46 des lufttechnischen Geräts 2 grundsätzlich in beliebige Richtung durchströmbar sind. Beispielsweise ist das lufttechnische Gerät 2 als sogenanntes Push-Pull-Gerät ausgestaltet, bei welchem jeder der Durchströmungswege 45 und 46 zeitweise in jeweils eine erste Richtung und zeitweise in jeweils eine der ersten Richtung entgegengesetzte zweite Richtung durchströmt wird.The Figure 7 shows a second variant of the ventilation device 2. In the following, reference is made to the above statements and only the differences are discussed. These lie in the fact that, instead of the heat accumulator 51, two partial heat accumulators 52 and 53 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the fluid deflection device 1 in the direction of flow. In other words, the partial heat store 52 is on the inside or on the one hand and the partial heat accumulator 53 is provided on the outside or on the other hand of the fluid deflection device 1. The flow paths 45 and 46 essentially correspond to those described above. Basically, it should be pointed out that the flow paths 45 and 46 of the ventilation device 2 can basically be flown through in any direction. For example, the ventilation device 2 is designed as a so-called push-pull device, in which each of the flow paths 45 and 46 is flowed through at times in a first direction and at times in a second direction opposite the first direction.
