Definitions
- an elongated pressure chamber for primary air is provided with nozzles, or ejector openings in the top thereof, leading into a second chamber which is subdivided by a vertical partition, one side of the partition being arranged to be supplied with secondary air, the other side of the partition being exposed to the outlet from the nozzles or ejectors, so that the secondary air is drawn into the second portion of the chamber, which will therefore form a mixing chamber; the partition extends not quite up to the dividing wall between the pressure chambers and the mixing chamber, to form a slot-like gap, through which air is drawn, to effect thorough mixing of secondary and primary air.
- the present invention relates to an air outlet arrangement for air conditioning and ventilating apparatus, and more particularly to such apparatus in which two different air streams are being mixed; typically, one air stream is primary, cooled air, and the other air stream is secondary, ambient, or fresh air, and which is simple to construct and presents little noise in operation.
- Air outlet devices have therefore been developed wherein the cold primary air is first intimately mixed with (warmer) secondary air in a mixing zone before this air mixture flows through the air-exhaust opening of the air outlet into the space at an air temperature and air speed which ensure draught-free air conditioning.
- the secondary air in this case may be room air or atmospheric air.
- An air outlet device of this type is described for instance in German Pat. specification No. 1 103546. This known device includes a longitudinallyextending box portion open at the front, which in crosssection has a wall portion extending transversely to the flow direction and along whose length are disposed spaced apertures for the upwardly flowing primary air.
- this device At some spacing in front of an upwardly and forwardly directed wall portion there is disposed in this device a longitudinally extending plate which forms a boundary of a mixing chamber into which secondary air is sucked through a lower air inlet by the injector effect of the primary air flowing through the apertures into the mixing chamber. said secondary air being mixed in the mixing chamber with the primary air before emergence from the air outlet aperture.
- a change in the mixture ratio between the primary air and the suckedin secondary air can be effected by appropriate alteration of the size, shape and arrangement of the openings for primary air. Such a change in the openings for primary air is not, however, possible without constructional expense which makes the entire plant dearer.
- An airoutlet device for air-conditioning and ventilation apparatus having an elongate pressure chamber suppliable with primary air and associated therewith a mixing chamber bounding the air-outlet opening, wherein at a portion of its wall adjacent the mixing chamber the pressure chamber for a specific length has opening means for the primary air and from which, by the injector effect, this can be drawn in by primary air flowing into the mixing chamber at increased speed secondary air which flows through a secondary-air inlet opening into the mixing chamber and is intimately mixed in said chamber with the primary air before emerging through the air-outlet opening, the opening means for the primary air being provided in the base portion of a chamber open at one side and directly mounted on the pressure chamber, said open-sided chamber being divided by a partition extending longitudinally of the opening means for the primary air into the mixing chamber and a secondary-air feed channel adjacent to the latter and said partition terminating at a pre-determined distance above said base portion of said open-sided chamber thus to form a slot-like opening located laterally of the opening means for
- the mixture ratio between primary and secondary air can be adjusted.
- the distance from the base portion of the partition edge which bounds the secondary air inlet is also desirable for the distance from the base portion of the partition edge which bounds the secondary air inlet to be adjustable. This can be effected by constructing the partition with a part fixedly attached to the chamber wall and on which is adjustably mounted a flat slide plate.
- the chamber mounted on the pressure chamber is bounded by parallel walls, and the secondary air feed channel divided by the partition terminates in the immediate vicinity of the air outlet aperture.
- the secondary air feed channel may discharge into the plane containing the air outlet opening, so that room air sucked in through the secondary air feed channel flows into the mixing chamber.
- the opening means for primary air may take the form of a number of nozzles uniformly distributed over the length of the pressure chamber, but the arrangement may also be such that the opening means for primary air comprises at least one air-passage slot.
- the mixing chamber prefferably be provided in the vicinity of the air outlet aperture with a control member which influences the free crosssection for the passage of air, and enables the direction of emission of air from the air outlet device to be controlled.
- the pressure chamber itself, and if necessary the mixing chamber also, are preferably lined with soundabsorbing material in order to keep the intrinsic noise level as low as possible.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation of an air outlet device in accordance with the invention, illustrating nozzlez ejectors
- FIG. la is a view similar to FIG. 1 and having a slot ejector
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the device of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 2a is a plan view of the device of FIG. 1a;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional elevation of the device on the line III III of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional elevation of the device on the line IV IV of FIG. la.
- the air outlet device shown in the figures of the drawing comprises an elongate sheet metal box 2 surrounding a pressure chamber 1 and closed at its ends at 3 and 4.
- a lateral primary air inlet 5 opens into the box 2.
- the pressure chamber 1 is also part of a primary air channel into which the primary air flows in the axial direction.
- the pressure chamber 1 is lined with a soundabsorbing material 6; at the top it is closed by a wall 7 connected with the sheet metal box 2 and which at the same time forms the base portion of a chamber 8 superimposed on the pressure chamber 1.
- the chamber 8 is laterally bounded by parallel wall parts 9 joined together at the ends by transversely-extending end wall parts 10, 11.
- openings for the passage of primary air from the pressure chamber 1 which in the forms shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 take the form of a number of nozzles 12 distributed over a predetermined length of a straight line, while in the form shown in FIGS. la and 2a the openings for passage of the primary air are formed by a longitudinal slot 13 formed in a nozzle-like slotted bar 140 (see FIG. 4).
- the chamber 8 is divided by a partition 14 extending parallel to the openings 12 or 13, as the case may be, into a mixing chamber 15 and an adjacent feed channel 16 for the secondary air. In the manner apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4 the partition 14 terminates at a predetermined distance above the base portion 7 of chamber 8.
- V The edge of the partition 14 nearest to the base portion 7 of chamber 8 is at an adjustable distance from said base portion 7.
- the partition 14 is formed with a portion 14a fixedly attached to the walls 9, 10, 11 of the chamber 8, with a flat slide plate 14b adjustably attached to portion 14a.
- the slide plate 14b which at its bottom projects beyond the marginal edge of the stationary portion 1411, can be set by means of slots 17 and clamping screws 18 at any desired height in relation to the stationary portion 14a and fixed in position.
- the device operates as follows:
- the primary air On admission of primary air into the pressure chamber 1 the primary air flows through the air openings 12 or 13, as the case may be, into the mixing chamber 15 in the direction of the arrows shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. A reduced pressure is thus created in the secondary air feed channel 16 by the injector effect, so that secondary air is sucked through the slot-like aperture 170 into the mixing chamber 15, where it is intimately mixed with the primary air before the air leaves the mixing chamber 15 through the air-outlet aperture 19 and enters the space to be air-conditioned.
- the ratio of the secondary air and primary air in the mixture depends on the free crosssection of the slot-like aperture 170; it can be adapted to requirements at any time by appropriate setting of the slide plate 14b. In the manner apparent from FIGS.
- the secondary air feed channel 16 discharges in the immediate vicinity of the air-outlet aperture 19, the air-inlet aperture 20 and the air-outlet aperture 19 lying in a common plane.
- the feed channel 16 for secondary air is extended, for example, to the outside air, or alternatively has a lateral air-inlet opening in through which the secondary air flows.
