Abstract: The application relates according to one embodiment to an air filter for grease filtering. The filter includes a filter mounting element for installing the filter in connection with an intake opening of an air ventilation duct, at least one mechanical separation element for separating solid impurities from flowing air, and a UV source mounting element capable of being fitted with a UV source for generating UV light. The UV light and a catalyst coating present inside the filter are adapted to transform the physical state of grease flowing into the ventilation duct along with the airflow.

Abstract: An air filter (1) which is intended for an air conditioning system, includes a disc type filter element (2) and a power unit (3), preferably an electric motor, which is connected to the filter element for rotating the same. The filter element is arranged in connection with a ventilation duct (4), such that it is placed outside an aperture (4a) of the ventilation duct (4) at a first distance therefrom, and such that it is concentric with the ventilation duct. The ventilation duct is supplied by way of the aperture with air (A) cleaned by the air filter. The air filter further includes a ring type collar (5), which is arranged outside the aperture of the ventilation duct at a second distance therefrom concentrically with the ventilation duct. The collar is adapted to widen towards the aperture (4a) and is most preferably in the shape of a truncated cone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a veneer lathe knife assembly comprising supported by a frame assembly a knife mounting beam (4) and a nose bar beam (5), both of which having a front portion (4′; 5′) for holding a cutting knife (6) and a nose bar (7), respectively, and a stiffening rear portion. The knife mounting beam (4) and the nose bar beam (5) are adapted movable relative to each other on the frame assembly so as to permit adjustment of the knife gap formed between the cutting knife (6) and the nose bar (7). Heat transfer means (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″) are adapted to the stiffening rear portion of both the knife mounting beam (4) and the nose bar beam (5). Both the knife mounting beam (4) and the nose bar beam (5) have placed thereon, in a close vicinity to the knife (6) and the nose bar (7), at least one first set of temperature sensors (3, 3′) disposed in predetermined positions along the length of the knife and the nose bar.

Abstract: A ventilation apparatus includes an inlet air device (14), an exhaust air device (15) and a mantle (13), which constitutes a hood where the removable air is collected and wherefrom the removable air is discharged by the exhaust air device (15). The inlet air device includes an air distribution chamber, provided with an air distribution surface in connection with the mantle. A fresh incoming air is brought to the air distribution chamber and distributed through the air distribution surface to the air-conditioned space. The inlet air device (14) is formed of a number of inlet air units (10), which are installed at regular intervals from each other, and each inlet air unit is provided with an inlet surface (5) arranged in connection with the mantle, and an air distribution surface (3) which is projected from the inlet surface (5) and is partly permeable to air.

Abstract: A ventilation apparatus, which is installed in the ceiling of a room, particularly a kitchen, laundry or the like. The ventilation apparatus (1) comprises a wall element (3) directed downwardly from the ceiling, which wall element is formed of a number of elongated parts (4) provided with vertical chambers (5). The shells (6) of the parts (4) are provided with inlet apertures (7), through which apertures and chambers the exhaust air is conducted out of the room.

Abstract: An air purifier intended for use, e.g., as a grease filter in air venting systems. The purifier comprises a plurality of modules operating according to centrifugal separation, each module comprising at least one vortex chamber. Gas flow entering the vortex chamber is set into helical motion therewithin, such that the gas flows through the vortex chamber in a single direction, substantially perpendicular to a direction in which the incoming gas flow is introduced into the module.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an air exhausting device, intended primarily for catering industry kitchens or equivalent. The air exhausting device comprises an outer housing, an exhaust chamber with at least one air aperture or grease filter unit, a collecting chamber for gaseous impurities and a blow chamber. The blow apertures of the blow chamber of the air exhausting device are disposed to produce a blow jet which induces a secondary air jet, which has on all sides of the blow apertures been arranged to act on its entirety in the proximity effect area. Above the blow apertures of the blow chamber has been disposed a guide baffle, arranged to direct the blow jet towards the grease filters to that the maximally efficient starting impulse of the blow jet is achieved, this impulse being arranged to substantially die out before arriving at the grease filter.
