  • Dome blower wheel attachment to minimize water intrusion
    Patent number: 12595807
    Abstract: A rotatable dome blower wheel attachment that mitigates a risk of water droplets infiltrating a rotor and a motor. The dome blower wheel attachment may be rotatably coupled to the shaft of the blower motor and to the blower motor wheel to protect the rotor from water that is sprayed through the wheel. The coupling also ensures that the dome blower wheel attachment rotates with the blower motor shaft, the wheel, and the rotor. The dome blower wheel attachment may also have impellers coupled to the underside of the dome to direct airflow and water droplets away from the rotor while still protecting the rotor from water that is directed through the wheel.
