  • the air conveying device can be designed, in particular, in order to be able to specify the flow velocity and, for example, also the outlet velocity in a targeted manner. This has particular advantages when the user is moving and because of his relative movement to him surrounding unfiltered air or a wind flow of the surrounding air could distract the filtered air exiting the air discharger so that it can not reach the breathing ports or substantially the user's breathing ports.
  • the flow rate of the filtered airflow may be different on its way from the air conveyor to the air dispenser. In addition, it also depends on the delivered volume flow. It is therefore readily possible for the person skilled in the art, depending on an available air conveying device, by suitable design of the air guiding device and the air discharging device, that the outlet speed of the filtered air stream is at the outlet from the air discharging device in the specified range.

Abstract

L'invention vise à améliorer un système de purification d'air individuel portable qui comprend un dispositif de purification d'air individuel portable équipé d'un boîtier pouvant être porté par un utilisateur, d'un moyen de filtration d'air destiné à filtrer l'air ambiant, d'un moyen de transport d'air destiné à générer un flux d'air non filtré en direction du moyen de filtration d'air et un flux d'air filtré sortant du moyen de filtration d'air, d'un moyen de guidage d'air destiné à guider le flux d'air filtré et d'un moyen de sortie d'air destiné à délivrer le flux d'air filtré. Le moyen de filtration d'air et le moyen de transport d'air sont reliés fluidiquement entre eux et disposés ou formés dans le boîtier et le moyen de guidage d'air, en particulier au moins une partie de celui-ci, relie le moyen de transport d'air et le moyen de sortie d'air fluidiquement entre eux. Pour cela, il est proposé que le moyen de transport d'air transporte le flux d'air filtré à une vitesse d'écoulement et que la vitesse d'écoulement du flux d'air filtré en sortie du moyen de sortie d'air corresponde à une vitesse de sortie dans une gamme d'environ 1 m/s à environ 5 m/s.
