  • Patent number: 10138902
    Abstract: A fan for generating a gas flow for an air-conditioning system includes a housing having a pressure chamber and a suction chamber open to each other via a connecting opening. An impeller is arranged in the housing and includes an axial suction side arranged at the connecting opening and a radial pressure side arranged in the pressure chamber. An inlet and an outlet are disposed in the housing for communicating the gas flow. A fan cut-off is disposed on the housing between the pressure chamber and the outlet. At least one cover element is arranged in the inlet and axially spaced from the connecting opening to cover at least part of a flow cross-section of the inlet.

  • Patent number: 10125787
    Abstract: A housing of a centrifugal blower for use in an air conditioner is provided that includes a rotatably supported fan wheel, an inlet opening disposed in the axial direction of the fan wheel and an outlet opening disposed in the radial direction of the fan wheel. A widening diffuser is disposed downstream from the outlet opening in the flow direction, and the fan wheel is disposed in an inner volume of the housing. A crossover area formed from multiple openings is provided on at least one housing wall which delimits the inner volume. At least one chamber is disposed on the outside of the housing, the chamber completely covering the crossover area and being fluidically connected to the inner volume of the housing via the crossover area.
