Definitions
- the present invention concerns an air distribution procedure and an apparatus used in the procedure.
- the temperature of the incoming air is maintained approximately constant and the air quantity is increased or decreased in accordance with changes in loading.
- problems arise because of the thermal forces.
- the incoming ⁇ - AZ means usually operates well but when the air quantity is decreased the injection is not able to arise upwards because of the small starting speed, and it falls down and causes draught.
- the range of the injection remains in general short, whereby the air circulation and well-being are poor.
- the injection range and the starting speed are clearly interrelated. For the injection range to remain approximately constant, the starting speed is required to stay within a given range. Rather, with a small air quantity, the starting speed should grow in order to overcome the thermal counter- forces.
- the object of the invention is a procedure and an apparatus in which the above-mentioned drawbacks have been overcome.
- the procedure of the invention is mainly characterized in that in the procedure a gravity-operated incoming air means is used, with the aid of the guide plate closing by gravity and of a louvre com- ponent whereof the air current is so guided to conform to the wall surface that with small quantities of air the throw length is substan ⁇ tially at least as great as with great air quantities.

- the guide plate directs a small volumetric flow at a high speed into a dis ⁇ tributing chamber from where it passes through a louvre into the room space.
- a high flow rate is, c however, achieved with the means and a sufficient length for the throw pattern for the flow.
- Said high-speed flow is focussed to conform the wall surface. Therefore, the Coanda effect is utilized in the invention and the air flow from the incoming air means lo ⁇ cated in the adjacency of the wall surface is directed upwards.
- a high-speed air flow is focused advan ⁇ tageously via a wall surface and/or batteries and/or window surfaces.
- the Coanda effect of the vertical surface is made use of. With said flow, the surface temperature of the
- the cool draught can be obstructed from the structures and efficiently reduce the heat loading caused by the sun.
- the heat emittance from said batteries is moreover aided.
- air is carried from outside the staying zone and the air nucleus injection is circulated past the staying zone. Therefore, no draught is caused from the air injection to the staying zone of the room space.
- a longer than normal throw length is available for the air injection without causing 5 any harm to a person staying in said room.
- a united control system of ventilation and heating may also be implemented.

Abstract
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de diffusion d'air où l'air est amené dans une pièce (H), à proximité immédiate d'une surface de paroi (S) depuis un organe d'arrivée d'air (10), et où l'air s'écoule dans la pièce (H) depuis l'organe d'arrivée d'air (10), de bas en haut, en suivant la paroi (S). Dans ledit procédé, on utilise un organe d'arrivée d'air (10) guidé, sous l'action de la gravité, par une plaque de guidage (14) se fermant sous l'action de la gravité, ainsi qu'une section à claire-voie (12), grâce à laquelle l'écoulement d'air est dirigé de façon à suivre la surface de la paroi (S). On obtient ainsi, avec de petites quantités d'air une longueur de projection d'air sensiblement au moins aussi longue qu'avec de grandes quantités d'air. La présente invention se rapporte également à un organe d'arrivée d'air.The present invention relates to an air diffusion method in which air is brought into a room (H), in the immediate vicinity of a wall surface (S) from an air intake member (10) , and where the air flows into the room (H) from the air inlet member (10), from bottom to top, following the wall (S). In said method, an air intake member (10) is guided, under the action of gravity, by a guide plate (14) closing under the action of gravity, as well as a section skeleton (12), by which the air flow is directed so as to follow the surface of the wall (S). Thus, with small amounts of air, an air projection length substantially at least as long as with large amounts of air is obtained. The present invention also relates to an air inlet member.
