  • Patent number: 11692553
    Abstract: A diagonal fan includes an electric motor, a housing, and a diagonal impeller received inside the housing and drivable via the motor. The diagonal flow during operation is deflected in an axial flow direction. The diagonal impeller includes impeller blades distributed in the circumferential direction and a slinger ring encloses said blades. The diagonal fan includes an inlet nozzle on the suction side accommodating a main flow for the diagonal fan. The inlet nozzle extends overlapping at least in sections relative to the radial section of the slinger ring forming a nozzle gap therewith. A bypass channel on the housing forms a flow connection from a pressure-side surrounding region (U) of the diagonal fan to an inflow side of the nozzle gap. During operation of the diagonal fan, a swirl-free secondary flow (NS) is guided at the inflow side of the nozzle gap via the bypass channel.

  • Patent number: 11542955
    Abstract: A diagonal fan having an electric motor and a diagonal impeller which can be driven about an axis of rotation (RA) by means of the electric motor. The diagonal impeller determines an air inlet and an air outlet and has a hub and impeller vanes which are distributed in the circumferential direction, extend radially outwards from the hub and are surrounded radially externally by a slinger ring. A flow angle ?D formed by the slinger ring relative to the axis of rotation (RA) increases from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a flow angle ?N formed by the hub relative to the axis of rotation (RA) decreases from the air inlet to the air outlet.
