ABSTRACT:
An exhaust system for expelling air from a building includes an outlet nozzle that improves entrainment of ambient air with the building exhaust air. The improved air entrainment results in increased exhaust air dilution and plume height to better disperse the exhaust air away from the building. The nozzle has an H-shaped outlet configuration with two lateral outlet sections joined by a central transverse outlet section. The nozzle has a pair of outer lateral walls, a pair of outer transverse walls, and a pair of sloped inner lateral walls that angle outwards from near an inlet end of the nozzle towards corresponding outer lateral walls. The nozzle can be part of the exhaust system at the outlet side of the exhaust fan within a windband that aids in entraining ambient air with the exhaust air exiting the nozzle.
