  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20150308455
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wall ring for receiving in particular an axial fan, comprising an annular body with a flow inlet opening and a flow outlet opening and a central longitudinal axis X-X as well as an annular wall extending between both openings. The annular wall has a cavity which is enclosed by an outer wall and an inner wall, in which an electrical heating element may be secured at least over a partial area of the periphery of the annular wall. The annular body consists of at least two partial bodies which are formed by a division of the annular body in a separating plane that extends perpendicular to its longitudinal axis and are detachably connected to one another.

  • Patent number: 8985828
    Abstract: Flat illuminating display device with light emitting means to illuminate a film for display of an image applied to a display area, wherein the light emitting means are embodied as at least one light coupling unit arranged laterally at a translucent film thus forming a light duct, wherein the light such fed into the adjacent edge area into the film is reflected by a reflective layer, which is applied on at least one side, to homogeneously spread within the film, wherein a reflection screen to obtain a light emission is provided opposite of the display area to create said display area.
