A hospital sink and faucet assembly includes a sink (12) with a sink body having an angled faucet deck (16), a bowl (18) adapted to receive water, and a rim (21). A laminar flow faucet (30) is connected to the faucet deck (16) and includes an outlet (40) adapted to direct a laminar flow water stream into the bowl (18). The faucet (30) includes an elongate chamber (32) with a preferably tangential water inlet at the bottom (36) and at least one mesh layer (42) that extends across a cross-section of the chamber (32) to create a generally constant velocity profile for the water flow across the cross-section of the chamber (32). The water flow progresses upwardly in the chamber (32) to the outlet (40) where a laminar flow nozzle cuts the water and discharges a circular stream of water out an angle generally perpendicular to the deck (16) and toward the sink bowl (18). An ozone generator is preferably also in the chamber. |
