  • Patent number: 10378543
    Abstract: The invention relates to an impeller (1), in particular for a side channel machine, comprising blades (5) arranged distributed in the circumferential direction and formed in each case by a blade wall (6), which blades form open blade chambers (4) in a plan view onto the impeller (1), wherein a blade wall (6) in the plan view starts at a first radius dimension (r1) related to the geometrical impeller rotation axis (x), which first radius dimension (r1) corresponds to half or more than half of a second radius dimension (r2), which second radius dimension (r2) defines a circumferential rim edge (9) of the impeller (1), and wherein the radius dimension (r1) defines a radially inner boundary wall (7) of the blade chamber (4), wherein furthermore a blade wall (6) comprises an exposed upper terminating edge, which runs correspondingly radially on the inside into the inner boundary wall (7) and ends radially on the outside in plan view, wherein an imaginary connecting line (V) can be drawn between a run-in point of t

  • Patent number: 9675921
    Abstract: The invention first relates to an air filter attachment (4) for a turbomachine, in particular a side channel compressor, comprising a housing, comprising a filter material (8) arranged in a housing interior, and comprising an inlet (9) and an outlet (10) which are formed in the housing, which have a free opening cross section, and through which air is suctioned. The aim of the invention is to advantageously design a turbomachine comprising an air filter attachment. This is achieved in that the housing interior that has the filter material (8) extends laterally relative to the opening cross section of the inlet (9) and/or the outlet (10) in a non-uniform manner and in any case in a direction by a magnitude of 1½ or more times the dimension from a central axis (M) of the respective opening cross section to a periphery of the opening cross section in the direction. The invention further relates to a turbomachine, in particular a side channel compressor, comprising such an air filter attachment.

  • Publication number: 20110150637
    Abstract: A radial fan, preferably a high-speed radial fan, includes a blower wheel, a housing which receives a rotor and a stator of an electrical drive of the blower wheel shaft, and a cooling system. To develop one such radial fan in terms of the cooling system required, paths for a first cooling medium and a second cooling medium are provided in the housing, the second cooling medium being cooled by the first cooling medium as provided for by the housing, and the paths are separated from each other by intact material walls of the housing.

  • Patent number: 7922466
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radial fan (1), preferably a high-speed radial fan, comprising a blower wheel (8), a housing (2) which receives a rotor (6) and a stator (5) of an electrical drive (4) of the blower wheel shaft (7), and a cooling system. The aim of the invention is to develop one such radial fan in terms of the cooling system required. To this end, paths (30, 37) for a first cooling medium (K1) and a second cooling medium (K2) are provided in the housing (2), the second cooling medium (K2) being cooled by the first cooling medium (K1) as provided for by the housing (2), and the paths (30, 37) are separated from each other by intact material walls (40) of the housing (2).

  • Patent number: 6182483
    Abstract: A retractable lock for doors is provided that includes a frame mountable on the front side of the door panel for receiving a retractable lever grip. The lever grip is moveable along a release path between a retracted position inside the frame, where it is secured by a locking device, and an actuating position outside the frame. Further rotation of the lever grip along an actuating path transmits into rotational movement of a pinion which drives a locking rod, which is longitudinally slidably guided at the inner side of the door panel by engagement of outer teeth of the pinion at cutouts of the rod.
