Claims28
An apparatus for use with a porous discharge wall having a first side and a second side, with a fluid flowing on the first side generally in a first direction, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one vane member located proximate the second side of the discharge wall and having a profile that directs the discharge fluid from the second side in a predetermined second direction.
An air handling apparatus, comprising:
- a plenum containing fluid moving in a first direction;
- a porous plenum wall permitting fluid flow from said plenum through said plenum wall to exit said plenum via an exit side of said wall;
- and
- at least one vane member located on said exit side of said plenum wall that directs exiting fluid flow in a predetermined second direction.
An apparatus for use with a porous wall having a first side and a second side, with a fluid flowing on the first side generally in a first direction, the apparatus comprising:
- means located proximate the second side of the discharge wall for directing the discharge fluid from the second side in a predetermined second direction;
- and
- means for supporting said directing means.
A method for use with a porous wall having a first side and a second side, comprising the steps of:
- supplying a fluid on the first side generally in a first direction;
- and
- directing discharge fluid from the second side in a second direction using at least one vane member.
