Abstract
An air-mixing system comprises a fluid deflector device with analogical operation which enables continuous regulation of the distribution of a main flow coming from a main duct into two secondary ducts.
Claims6
An air-mixing system comprising:
- a main duct for receiving a flow of air,
- first and second secondary passages into which said main duct is divided at a downstream end of the main duct,
- at least one of said first and second secondary passages being provided with means for bringing temperature of the air flowing through said at least one of said secondary passages to a value different from temperature of the air flowing through other secondary passage,
- an outlet duct into which said first and second secondary passages coverage at their downstream ends, so that the air flowing through said secondary passages is mixed to provide a mixed flow of air into said outlet duct, and
- deflecting means arranged within said main duct for distributing a flow of air coming from the main duct between said first and second secondary passages in such a way that a flow directed to said first and secondary passages can be adjusted continuously between a minimum and a maximum, while a flow directed to said second secondary passage can be adjusted continuously between a maximum and a minimum, which results in a continuous adjustment of temperature of the mixed air flowing through said outlet duct,
- wherein said deflecting means are constituted by a fluidic device.
