Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a diffuser device, which changes a secondary air inducing condition due to send-out air stream while retaining a nozzle type configuration and capable of coping with various ambient conditions while improving dew condensation preventing performance. An outside nozzle 3 is arranged at the outside of an inside nozzle 2 and a predetermined gap part 4 is provided between them whereby heat is hardly transferred between the inside nozzle 2 and the outside nozzle 3 due to the existence of the gap part 4. Accordingly, heat is hardly deprived of the outside nozzle 3 by the cooled inside nozzle 2 upon cooling operation and the temperature of the outside nozzle 3 is not lowered substantially whereby induced gas is not cooled to the dew point of the same even when warmer gas in the objective space of air conditioning is contacted with the surface of the outside nozzle 3 and, therefore, dewing on the surface of the outside nozzle 3 can be prevented and the heat insulating structure of the outside nozzle 3 can be simplified to contrive the cost down of the same.
