  • Patent number: 12006947
    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. Guide 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: 10060448
    Abstract: A fan, in particular an axial fan, comprising a support element with a wall ring and an electric fan motor which is mounted in the wall ring and comprises a fan rotor. The wall ring has on its outer periphery a hinge consisting of a first hinge part that is connected to the wall ring and a second hinge part that can be pivoted about a hinge axis relative to the first hinge part, wherein the second hinge part is designed as a terminal box for receiving electrical connectors. The invention further relates to a support element for such a fan.

  • Patent number: 8821129
    Abstract: A fan unit (1), to be attached to a filter frame (40) of a filter fan, consisting of a housing with a cylindrical housing rim, an inlet opening (20), an outflow opening (7) and at least one protective grid which covers one of both of the openings, and one fan (4) attached to the housing via a motor mount (14) which conveys the air in at least the axial direction. The design enabling the manufacture of a more compact fan unit in an easier and more cost-effective manner, which provides high efficiency and can be installed as a suction as well as a blowing fan unit in the filter fan, and is easy to dismount for the maintenance of the filter fan.
