The carrier air jet L, still operates inside the hood 30 to enhance the removal of air from the room. The surface temperatures of kitchen appliances are very different and very high, so that the device 5 according to the invention can significantly affect the thermal comfort of persons working close to kitchen appliances by changing the air flow rate and flow direction in the living area.

According to the invention, the supply air source 10 preferably operates just above the stoves 10 and the corresponding cooking means, whereby the jet coming through and directed through the inlet channel 14 can direct and influence the air speed in the living area without increasing the air volume in the vicinity. Thus, at different points in the kitchen space, supply air can be led in the desired direction and speed through the duct opening 16 15, and by further using the constant flow controller 50 (Fig. 6), the incoming air volume can be kept at a controlled and desired value.

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the invention corresponding to Figures 5A-5C. The hood 30, i.e. the combustion air collector or the target exhaust device 20, is only partially shown. The supply air device 10 comprises a body jacket 11. The body jacket 11 and preferably its upper part is connected to a supply air duct 12, which is further associated with a constant flow regulator 50. The inlet duct 12 is preferably of circular cross-section. It is connected to the jacket part 11. From the supply air duct 12, the air enters the interior 13 of the device 10 25 as indicated by the arrow. The high-speed blowing air passes through the duct opening 14 into the room A as shown by the arrow. In connection with the duct opening 14, control devices 15 are arranged, with which the direction and air flow of the high-speed blowing air 30 can be adjusted. The blowing air branching from the interior 13 is arranged to pass out of the device through a duct opening 16 consisting of a plurality of perforated plates 17a, 17b and 17c. Each perforated plate is adapted to act as a structure for uniform turbulence for the air discharged into the room. The purpose of the perforated plate or a plurality of adjacent perforated plates 35 is further to provide a flow resistance to the flow, whereby a high-speed air flow is adapted to pass through the controller 15.

10 74799 1 The air jet L 1 controlled and directed through the exhaust duct 14 and the control devices 15 acts as a deflector for the fresh air coming through the duct opening 16. This high-velocity air flow also acts as a device that provides a certain flow rate and thus promotes the flow.

As shown in Fig. 6, the perforated plate 17a may be formed by two portions 17a 1 and 17a 2, whereby the air flow is adapted to discharge from the outlet duct 16 into the room space both downwards and to the side.

As shown in Fig. 6, the insulator 21 is limited to the interior 13, which is adapted 10 to act as a sound coach for the fresh air entering the interior 13. The insulator 21 is preferably located obliquely to the incoming air. This sloping surface directs the incoming flow towards the outlet channel openings 14 and 16.
