Abstract
A false ceiling (10) includes a plurality of concave panels (12, 60) having liquid spray nozzles (40, 62) at their crowns. The liquid streams down the undersides of the panels to collecting channels (16) and carries with it particles of dirt, grease, etc., entrained in vapors from kitchen burners or the like below. Air is exhausted through the spaced openings between the edges (14) of the panels and the sides (18) of the collecting channels.
