  • Patent number: 11067309
    Abstract: A ventilator unit has a ventilator housing and at least one ventilator accommodated in the ventilator housing. A first outlet guide apparatus is associated with the ventilator and is arranged in the ventilator housing, wherein the first outlet guide apparatus has first outlet guide vanes distributed circumferentially. A second outlet guide apparatus is correlated with the first outlet guide apparatus and arranged in a flow path of an air stream sucked in by the ventilator. The second outlet guide apparatus is connected to a protective screen. The second outlet guide apparatus has second outlet guide vanes. The second outlet guide apparatus increases the throw of the ventilator unit.

  • Patent number: 11035233
    Abstract: A disclosed system includes an impeller for a ventilator. The impeller includes a hub or hub ring configured to rotate about an axis and a plurality of vanes attached to the hub or hub ring. Each vane of the impeller has a leading edge facing a pressure side of the ventilator along the axis, and a trailing edge facing a suction side of the ventilator along the axis. The leading edge of each vane has a corrugated shape characterized by a first wavelength and the trailing edge has a corrugated shape characterized by a second wavelength, with the first wavelength being longer than the second wavelength. The impeller may further include injection molded plastic, die-cast aluminum, stamped sheet metal, or laser cut sheet metal that is embossed. The impeller may further be assembled from separately manufactured pieces that are secured to one another using joining, welding, or by interlocking tabs.

  • Patent number: 10975873
    Abstract: The invention relates to an axial ventilator comprising an external or an internal rotor motor that has a rotor (1), at least two blades (4) with end-side connection regions (6) being connected form- and force-fittingly to said rotor (1) and this connection being achieved by bracing said connection regions (6) using a clamping ring (2). The invention is characterised in that said clamping ring (2) comprises recesses (5) that correspond to the number of blades (4) and form, together with one retainer piece (7) in each case, receiving portions (8) for the connection region (6) of the blades (4), said retainer piece (7) being supported against the rotor (1) and the clamping ring (2) being connected, with the inclusion of the connection region (6) of the blades (4), to said rotor (1), preferably to a flange (3) formed on the rotor (1) or to a hub (9), etc.

  • Patent number: 10975884
    Abstract: An inlet nozzle (1) for a radial, diagonal or axial-flow fan, comprising an inlet section (3) that is circular in cross-section, has a radius of curvature, and tapers in diameter in the direction of flow (4), characterized by the presence of a measure or a flow element on or in the curved surface (5) of the inlet section for the purpose of forcing turbulent boundary layers in the flow, which can counteract a stall in this region. A radial, diagonal or axial-flow fan comprises a corresponding inlet nozzle (1).

  • Patent number: 10197070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diffusor having a wall (8) that encloses an inlet having a round cross-section that transitions into an angular cross-section on the outlet of the diffusor over the height of the wall (8) of the diffusor. The transitions (15) between the sides (34 to 37) of the wall (8) have a twist in the height direction that follows the twirl of the flow of air through the diffusor. The ventilator has such a diffusor. The device has a housing on which at least two ventilators, each having one diffusor, are arranged.
