  • Method for balancing a centrifugal fan
    Patent number: 6168734
    Abstract: A method for dynamically balancing a centrifugal blower fan wheel is disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining an amount and location of change in the fan inlet ring of the blower wheel which is required to balance the blower wheel. Once this determination is made, the radial thickness of the inlet ring is increased at a predetermined location to provide the proper amount of balance to the blower wheel. A mold is described for accomplishing this method.

  • Centrifugal blower assembly with a diffuser
    Patent number: 6146092
    Abstract: A centrifugal blower assembly for a heat exchanger system of an automotive vehicle is described. The centrifugal blower assembly includes a diffuser section interposed between the centrifugal blower housing and a heat exchanger housing in the heat exchanger system. The diffuser section has a pair of non-linear, curved side walls which allow for expansion of the air flowing therethrough to minimize air flow separation against the side walls of the diffuser.

  • Centrifugal blower assembly with a pre-swirler for an automotive vehicle
    Patent number: 6092988
    Abstract: A centrifugal blower assembly is disclosed. The blower assembly includes a centrifugal fan driven by an electric motor. The blower assembly housing includes a pre-swirler having a plurality of guide vanes which impart a predetermined amount of rotation to a volume of air as the air enters the centrifugal blower assembly. The guide vanes are disposed in a ring at the air inlet of the blower housing.
