- Preferably, the diameter of the third section gradually increases outwards towards its opening, so that the width of the radial air passage increases gradually from the hub area towards the exit of the air duct.
- Preferably, the circumferential surface of the coniform baffle is formed on the basis of an arc of a circle and is a part of a circular toroid.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inner diameter D2 of the second cylindrical section is larger than the inner diameter D1 of the first cylindrical section, while at the boundary between the first cylindrical section and the second cylindrical section is formed a step on the inner surface of the air duct, and half of the difference between D1 and D2 is equal to gap between the blade and the inner surface of the second cylindrical section.
- Preferably between the maximum width of the blade of the fan and the inner surface of the second cylindrical section of the air duct there is a minimum gap corresponding to the technologically allowable minimum clearance.
- Preferably, immediately in front of the hub of the blade, in the direction of opening of the first cylindrical section a streamlined member is arranged constituting a rotating body with conical surface obtained on the basis of a curvilinear convex generatrix, and a base with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the hub.
- The above described structure of the ventilation device, according to the invention, provides a smooth air flow, avoiding its turbulence. This leads to an increased flow rate of the air outflow and, respectively, to improved efficiency, and lower noise levels.
- The ventilation device according to the invention is clarified in more detail by means of a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example of the invention, with reference to the attached figure, which represents a longitudinal section of an embodiment of the ventilation device.

inner diameter D 1. - The next section is second cylindrical section 1.2, with an inner diameter D2, and the blade of the fan 2.1 is arranged inside the second cylindrical section 1.2.
- In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter D2 of the second cylindrical section 1.2 is larger than the inner diameter D1 of the cylindrical section 1.1, whereby at the boundary between the first cylindrical section 1.1 and the second cylindrical section 1.2 is formed a step on the inner surface of the
air duct 1. The deepness of said step, which corresponds to the half of the difference between D1 and D2, is equal to the distance (gap) b between the blade and the inner surface of the second cylindrical section 1.2. The purpose of the step is to reduce the return of the air flow towards the inlet of the air duct.
