Fan assembly
First Claim
1. A fan assembly comprising:
- a nozzle having a rear section having at least one first air inlet, at least one first air outlet, and a first interior passage for conveying air from said at least one first air inlet to said at least one first air outlet; and
a front section having at least one second air inlet, at least one second air outlet, and a second interior passage for conveying air from said at least one second air inlet to said at least one second air outlet, the sections of the nozzle defining a bore through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by air emitted from the nozzle; and
a body on which the nozzle is mounted, the body comprising a flow generating system for generating a first air flow through the first interior passage and a second air flow through the second interior passage, a first air passageway for conveying the first air flow to the rear section of the nozzle, and a second air passageway for conveying the second air flow to the front section of the nozzle, and a system for changing one of the temperature, humidity, composition and electrical charge of the second air flow before it enters the second interior passage.

Abstract
A fan assembly includes a nozzle and a body on which the nozzle is mounted. The nozzle has a rear section having at least one first air inlet, at least one first air outlet, and a first interior passage for conveying air from the at least one first air inlet to the at least one first air outlet; and a front section having at least one second air inlet, at least one second air outlet, and a second interior passage for conveying air from the at least one second air inlet to the at least one second air outlet. A first air flow through the first interior passage and a second air flow through the second interior passage are each generated within the body. At least one of the temperature, humidity, and electrical charge of the second air flow is changed before it enters the second interior passage.
