  • Patent number: 8226350
    Abstract: A fan apparatus includes a casing and a fan unit. The casing is a hollow member having an inlet and an outlet. The fan unit has an inlet and an outlet, and includes a plurality of axial fans. The fan unit is disposed on the inside of the casing, and the inlet of the fan unit is disposed in the vicinity of the inlet of the casing. The position of the fan unit within the casing can be varied in order to alter the air flow and static pressure of the air discharged by the fan apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080213103
    Abstract: An axial flow fan includes a housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet, a motor mounted to the housing and an impeller including blades. The housing includes an expanded portion adjacent the air outlet. In the expanded portion, the inner diameter of the housing increases towards the air outlet so that the expanded portion has an inner end where its diameter is smallest. The trailing edge of each blade is inclined, with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the impeller, so as to extend toward the air inlet from a radially innermost end of the edge to a radially outermost end of the edge. The radially outermost end of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air inlet than the inner end of the expanded portion, and the radially innermost end of the of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air outlet than inner end of the expanded portion.
