Abstract

A filter-ventilator-arrangement for employment with clean chambers with at least one ventilator of which the pressure side is located toward an air flow chamber which is limited by boundary walls including a flow chamber formed by at least one annular channel of which one of two boundary walls at least consists of a noise-damping material. Furthermore at least an outer boundary wall consists of noise-damping material. The arrangement includes modular units having several annular channels of which the boundary walls decrease in height from the outside to the inside. Each unit has at least one filter which is arranged in a region below the flow chamber. Innermost boundary walls with inner sides thereof adjoin a plate consisting of noise-damping material. The boundary walls are secured, hanging or suspended on the cover sealing part. At least one heat exchanger lies in a suction region of the ventilator via which the return air flows.

Claims

1. A filter-ventilator-arrangement for employment with clean chambers, including at least one ventilator means having a pressure side located toward an air flow chamber means limited by boundary walls thereof, comprising said flow chamber means being formed by at least one annular duct means, of which at least one of two boundary walls consists of a noise-damping material,

a ceiling part and a ventilator means located centrally thereof in relation to the annular duct means, and

several annular duct means being provided and having boundary walls decreasing in height from outside to the inside.

2. An arrangement according to claim 1, in which said annular duct mean is limited outwardly by an outer boundary wall of the filter-ventilator-arrangement.

3. An arrangement according to claim 2, in which at least said outer boundary wall consists of noise-damping material.

4. An arrangement according to claim 2, in which said outer boundary wall of the filter ventilator arrangement extends as far as to said ceiling part.

5. An arrangement according to claim 1, in which an inner boundary wall has a spacing from said ceiling part.

6. An arrangement according to claim 1, in which at least one filter means is arranged in a location below a flow space formed by said annular duct means.

7. An arrangement according to claim 6, in which innermost boundary walls close off space against said filter means.

8. An arrangement according to claim 7, in which plate means adjoin said innermost boundary walls with inner sides thereof and said plate means consists of noise-damping material.
