  • Patent number: 11339801
    Abstract: A radial fan (1) or centrifugal blower is provided having a fan housing (2) with a spiral pressure chamber (D) and a rotor assembly (10) comprising an internally axially open bearing tube (20), in which a shaft (40) carrying a fan wheel (30) is mounted with a rotor (50) of a canned motor. An air-guiding channel (L) between a first pressure-chamber region (2a) and a second pressure-chamber region (2b) of the spiral pressure chamber (D) is formed between the bearing tube (20) and the wall (W) of the canned motor, so that an air flow flows through the air-guiding channel (L) from one pressure-chamber region (2a, 2b) to the other and in the process dissipates heat from the bearing tube (20) into the pressure chamber (D).

  • Publication number: 20210324843
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump device for pumping a fluid, comprising a hydraulic housing (2), a pump ring support (5) which is arranged in the hydraulic housing (2), an elastic pump ring (3) which is arranged between the pump ring support (5) and the hydraulic housing (2) in the radial direction (RR), and a separating chamber pin (4), wherein the pump ring (3) can be pressed in the radial direction (RR) against an inner wall surface of the hydraulic housing (2) by means of the separating chamber pin (4) in order to produce an at least local seal on the hydraulic housing (2), and wherein the hydraulic housing (2) has a radial offset section (6), along which an offset element that is formed on the separating chamber pin (4) or a separate offset element that interacts with the separating chamber pin can be introduced in the axial direction (AR) and thus offsets the separating chamber pin (4) and the pump ring (3) in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 10336224
    Abstract: A device for ventilating a vehicle seat having a cushion (12) which is resilient with respect to user contact and which is constructed to form a seat and/or back contact face (24) and which has an air flow channel (16, 17) which forms an air outlet (15) in the direction toward the seat or back contact face, an air-permeable covering unit (18) which is formed in order to at least partially cover the air outlet and which is preferably constructed so as to be rigid and/or grid-like, and a ventilator rotor (30) which is associated with the air flow channel and which is driven in an electro-motive manner and a ventilator unit (14) which has a ventilator housing (32) which at least partially radially surrounds the ventilator rotor, characterized in that the covering unit and the ventilator unit are fixed on or in the cushion with spacing from each other along the air flow channel and without direct connection of portions of the covering unit and the ventilator unit, and the ventilator housing has at the peripheral
