  • Patent number: 5358443
    Abstract: A device for use with at least one workspace, to produce an umbrella of clean room air for a distance of one meter from the device and 98% fewer particles than the air in the area three meters from the device. The device has a chamber defined by an outer wall, end walls and a filter as the inner wall. The filter functions as tile sole outlet of air. A motor with an axially extending drive shaft is mounted inside said filter. The shaft has an intake fan mounted on one end to define a sealed path which is the sole air inlet to the chamber. An exhaust fan is mounted on the other end of the shaft to define a path from the sole outlet. Air is exhausted in an axial direction is then deflected from the axial direction to the radial direction onto a baffle to reduce the velocity of the air to laminar flow. The baffle includes an upper terminal lid and a plurality of annular stepped vanes that divide the axially exhausted air into turbulent air streams and converts the turbulent air streams into radial laminar flow.
