  • Publication number: 20220106966
    Abstract: A diagonal fan has an electric motor, housing, and diagonal impeller, which is accommodated within the housing, can be driven via the electric motor, and generates a diagonal flow during operation that is deflected in an axial flow direction by an inner wall of the housing. Outlet guide vane device with a plurality of guide vanes distributed in the circumferential direction is arranged adjacently to the diagonal impeller when viewed in the axial flow direction, and homogenizes airflow generated by the diagonal impeller. vanes have a radial extension from a hub region of the outlet guide vane device to the housing. An imaginary extension in the outflow angle of the diagonal impeller strikes the inner wall of the housing at an axial distance K from the diagonal impeller. Outlet guide vane device is arranged at axial distance H to diagonal impeller where 0.75?K/H?1.25.

  • Patent number: 10550856
    Abstract: A suction nozzle is provided for a fan with a suction opening for suctioning a fan main flow. The suction nozzle has an opening edge section adjoining the suction opening and having a local outbreak. A flow insert is detachably provided in the local outbreak of the opening edge section. The flow insert forms a bypass leading to the suction opening for a bypass flow leading to the fan main flow. Measuring means are provided in the bypass for the volume flow determination of the fan main flow. A confusor is provided in the bypass. The confusor is formed by a first web and a second web. The first web and the second web circumferentially face one another to form a nozzle channel in the bypass. The nozzle channel has a radially narrowest section. The measuring means are arranged in the radially narrowest section.
