Conduit piece for the absorption of foreign bodies
A conduit piece for the absorption of foreign bodies in an air distribution conduit of an air-conditioning installation, with a bent portion, the inner wall (I) of which has a large bend radius (Rg) and a small bend radius (Rk). To avoid flow noises according to the invention, an interception device ( 1, 10, 11, 13, 14 ) be provided in the region of the large bend radius (Rg) for the purpose of intercepting foreign bodies carried through the conduit piece together with the air.
1. A conduit piece for the absorption of foreign bodies in an air distribution conduit of an air-conditioning installation, having a bent portion, an inner wall of which has a large bend radius and a small bend radius, an interception device being provided in the region of the large bend radius for the purpose of intercepting foreign bodies carried through the conduit piece together with the air,
wherein the interception device comprises at least one interception pocket having an orifice, and wherein the interception device is designed as an insert which comprises the interception pocket or which, in the inserted state, forms the interception pocket together with the inner wall.
2. The conduit piece according to claim 1 , wherein the orifice is provided in or on a half of the inner wall which comprises the large bend radius.
3. The conduit piece according to claim 1 , wherein the interception device comprises a grid arranged approximately parallel to the inner wall.
4. The conduit piece according to claim 1 , wherein the interception pocket projects radially in the direction of the small bend radius, and the orifice of the interception pocket is directed opposite to a predetermined direction of flow of the air.
5. The conduit piece according to claim 1 , wherein the interception pocket projects radially in the direction of the large bend radius beyond a further bend radius of the insert, and the orifice of the interception pocket is formed by a recess on an insert wall.
6. The conduit piece according to caim 1 , wherein the insert is inserted between the first segment and the second segment.
7. The conduit piece according to claim 1 , wherein said conduit piece is designed as a conduit bend, conduit branch piece or connection piece.
8. An aircraft cabin, comprising an air-conditioning installation with an air disribution conduit system which contains at least one conduit piece according to claim 1 .
9. A conduit piece for the absorption of foreign bodies in an air distribution conduit of an air-conditioning installation, having a bent portion, the inner wall of which has a large bend radius and a small bend radius, an interception device being provided in the region of the large bend radius for the purpose of intercepting foreign bodies carried through the conduit piece together with the air, wherein the conduit piece comprises a first segment containing the large bend radius and a second segment containing the small bend radius.
10. An aircraft cabin, comprising an air-conditioning installation with an air distribution conduit system which contains at least one conduit piece according to claim 9 .
