Abstract
Disclosed is an outflow assembly configured to control an airflow from an air-conditioner. The outflow assembly includes a nozzle having an upstream end and a downstream end, the airflow passing from the upstream end to, and out of, the downstream end. The outflow assembly also includes an airflow straightener within the nozzle and having an upstream side facing the upstream end and a downstream side facing the downstream end, the airflow passing through the airflow straightener towards the downstream end. The airflow straightener progressively reduces a cross-sectional area of the airflow on the upstream side. In so doing, the airflow straightener reduces vorticity and turbulence in the airflow exiting the nozzle.

An outflow assembly configured to control an airflow from an air-conditioner, comprising:
- a nozzle having an upstream end and a downstream end, the airflow passing from the upstream end to, and out of, the downstream end;
- and
- an airflow straightener within the nozzle and having an upstream side facing the upstream end and a downstream side facing the downstream end, the airflow passing through the airflow straightener towards the downstream end, wherein the airflow straightener progressively reduces a cross-sectional area of the airflow on the upstream side.
