As being clearly shown that among Figure 10 A, B and the C, plenum system 44 comprises a rectangular case that is formed by four vertical walls 58 and roof 60.One rectangle support 59 is fastened on the roof 60 and the removably fastening combination of fans part 46 thereon of supporting.All four walls 58 all are configured with identical panel 61, can optionally remove these panels so that plenum system 44 towards any required direction.When a panel 61 is removed, on the wall 58 of plenum system, just form a bigger opening.On a sidewall 58, pull down panel 61 and be connected with the front portion of fan housing 62 with formation.
Fan housing 62 stretches out from housing, thereby provides bypass air inlet 63 for plenum system 44.Fan housing 62 forms by a pair of isolated vertical wall 64, diapire 65 with from an outside horizontal-extending of housing and a downward-sloping subsequently rain cover 66.One flange that turns to 68 is formed on the dripping eaves of rain cover 66 to prevent that water from splashing in the bypass gas flow.
One windscreen 70 is installed under the fan housing 62 amount of ambient air that enters the housing of plenum system with control through bypass air inlet 63.It comprises all windscreen blades, these windscreen blades are subjected to electronics or pneumatic control so that one bypass air enters plenum system 44, and how air quantity that discharge from building changes no matter this can make the air stream total amount that flows into combination of fans part 46 keep constant.Enter plenum system 44 through the exhaust gas inlet 71 of the bottom that is formed on rectangular case and mixes with bypass air producing the waste gas of disposable dilution from the waste gas of building, this waste gas is gone forward side by side into fan assembly parts 46 by the waste gas outlet in the top of support 59 72 by extraction upwards.
As clearly illustrating among Figure 10 B and the 10C, an isolated windscreen 74 is slidably mounted in the support 59 and also just is positioned under the waste gas outlet 72.Should support by the flange 76 that the inside around support 59 forms by isolated windscreen 74, and put in place by the antetheca slip of support.Isolated windscreen 74 is the outdoor ambient airs that are used for when fan is not the worked isolated combination of fans part 46 of flowing through downwards.Isolated windscreen 74 has all blades, and these blades are closed will completely cut off windscreen when fan is not worked by gravity, revolution or running shaft rotation.By making fan housing 62 throw off and make isolated windscreen 74 skid off support 59, can pull down to check or to repair completely cutting off windscreen 74 easily from plenum system 44.
As clearly illustrating among Figure 11, the dismountable panel 61 on plenum system 44 sidepieces also makes a plurality of plenum systems 44 combine with a single asending pipe 38.In this structure, all plenum systems 44 are installed adjacent to each other, and the panel 61 in the wall 58 of adjacency is removed chamber 80 with single, the amplification that forms that the housing combined by them forms between them.The plenum system 44 of any amount can be combined in this way and can be towards neatly it being finished, and the position of their fan housing 62 is provided by identical detachable panel 61 and the mounting hole on all four walls 58 of plenum system 44.
Specifically referring to Fig. 2, combination of fans part 46 is removably mounted on the top of plenum system 44.Combination of fans part 46 has a rectangular susceptor plate 102, and this base plate has the limit skirt that extends along the top snug fit of rectangle support 59 downwards.All fastening pieces are connected in the top of support 59 with this limit skirt, by these fastening pieces are pulled down, whole fan assembly parts 46 can be pulled down being used for and repair or check.
Detachable panel 61 also makes the people can in any direction get at the inside of plenum system 44.Like this, do not need whole exhaust fan assembly 42 pulled down or combination of fans part 46 just pulled down from plenum system 44 from asending pipe 38 to carry out daily maintenance and repair.In addition, in many devices, through one of sidewall 58 of plenum system 44 but not the waste gas of building is brought in the plenum system 44 is favourable in the bottom.In such device, suitable panel 61 is pulled down the exhaust gas inlet of leading to plenum system 44 with formation, and the bottom of plenum system housing is closed by a diapire (not illustrating in the drawings).
Specifically referring to Fig. 3,4 and 6, combination of fans part 46 is seated in the top of plenum system 44 and comprises a cylindrical outer wall 100 that is welded in rectangular susceptor plate 102.Helping that it is bearing in vertical position, and the quantity of gusset 104 can be according to the size of fan and difference around the welding of the lower end of outer wall 100 for one group of eight gusset 104.Be bearing in outer wall 100 inside be a cylinder shape inner wall 106, this inwall is divided into three parts with outer wall 100 formed chambers: a centre bearing chamber 108, is in the circumferential annular space 110 between inside and outside wall 106 and 100 and be positioned at fan chamber 112 below the inwall 106.
One fan shaft 114 is arranged in supporting cavity 108 and rotatably is anchored on a base plate 116 of the bottom that is welded on inwall 106 by a supporting 118.Fan shaft 114 extends into fan chamber 112 downwards with end bearing one blast fan 120 under it, and it also extends upward into supporting cavity 108, and it is rotatably mounted by a upper support 122 in supporting cavity 108.This upper support 122 is anchored on a level board 124, and this level board extends through the inside of supporting cavity 108 and thereunder is subjected to 126 supportings of one group of gusset, and these gussets are opened along the internal layout of supporting cavity 108.
Specifically referring to Figure 4 and 5, blast fan 120 comprises a dish-shaped impeller backing 130, and the lower surface of this backing tightens intrinsic one group of main fan blades 132, and its upper surface tightens intrinsic one group of auxiliary blower blade 134.Main fan blades 132 supportings are along a truncated cone frame 136 of the girth extension of fan blade.The lower limb of this frame 136 cooperates around a rounded upper edge of a cone body 138, and this taper 138 is anchored on base plate 102 and extends upward from base plate 102.Blast fan 120 is a mixed flow blast fan, sell with trade mark MODEL QEI and waiting to examine described in the U.S. Patent application 10/297,450 (corresponding PCT application publication number is WO01/96745) (to be incorporated into this to do with reference to) such as Greenheck Fan Corporation.When blast fan 120 rotation, upwards extracted out and radially outward and upwards blown into annular space 110 through import cone 138 formed air intlets from the waste gas of plenum system 44, shown in arrow 140.
Specifically referring to Fig. 5, it is radially outer air stream that all auxiliary blower blades 134 on the top surface of blast fan 130 generate direction.Because axle 114 and lower support 118 should be provided with the better seal to base plate 116, therefore should there be air source and this air-flow not to form well.Yet, if leak, can form an air stream flow pattern (air flow pattern), wherein air is drawn out of and upper limb by being formed on blast fan 130 and the gap radially outward between the base plate 116 are derived from supporting cavity 108.As a result, even taking place to leak, waste gas can not escape into supporting cavity 108 yet.
Can enter supporting cavity 108 from the outside of combination of fans part 46 by two passages that are formed on the relative both sides.As clearly illustrating among Fig. 3,4 and 6, each passage is formed by all elongated hole of the aligning that passes outer wall 100 and inwall 106, and these elongated hole are connected by a conduit wall 144.This conduit wall 144 is around this passage and itself and this annular space that wall extended through 110 is isolated.As being clearly shown that among Fig. 6, people can understand thoroughly any one passage and see fan shaft 114 and relevant supporting 118 and 122.Like this, the attendant can touch these elements easily to check and to repair.
Specifically referring to Fig. 3, the passage that enters supporting cavity 108 also makes fan drive motor 150 can be positioned at the outside of combination of fans part 46 and is connected in fan shaft 114 by one of all passages.In a preferred embodiment, motor 150 be closed in the engine casing (Eng Cas) 152 and make its axle 154 vertically towards ground with motor mounting in outer wall 100.Motor reel 154 is connected in fan shaft 114 by the belts 156 around drive wheel on axle 154 and 114 158 and 160 extensions respectively.Motor 150 also can be arranged in supporting cavity 108, and its axle is directly connected in fan shaft.In this embodiment, these passages can allow to touch motor 150 to be used for inspection, to repair and to replace.
Specifically referring to Fig. 3,4 and 6, waste gas moves upward and leaves by annular space 110 and by a ring nozzle 162 that is formed on wall 100 and 106 upper ends, shown in arrow 164.Expand by upper end 166 and to form nozzle 162, thereby the cross-section area of nozzle 162 is significantly smaller than the cross-section area of annular space 110 inwall 106.As a result, its speed significantly increases when waste gas leaves by nozzle 162.As clearly illustrating in Fig. 6 and 8, all blades 170 are installed in the annular space 110 around its periphery, thereby make the path of waste gas become straight when waste gas leaves fan and upwards advances.The effect of finding all blades 170 is to increase the ambient air that is delivered in the waste gas, as will be described further below.
Specifically be installed in the top of combination of fans part 46 and center on nozzle 162 referring to Fig. 4 and 6, one wind cover 52.One group of carriage 54 connects around the periphery of outer wall 100, and these carriages from the top of outer wall upwards and extend radially outwardly and be anchored on wind cover 52.Wind cover 52 is truncated cone basically.Its bigger rounded bottom opening around central axis 56 coaxial line ground in alignment with ring nozzle 162.The bottom of wind cover 52 is expanded by an inlet bell 58, and the root edge of this inlet bell 58 is aimed to the isoplanar basically with the edge of nozzle 162.The top of wind cover 52 ends at a ring-shaped cylinder part 60, and this part forms the outlet of exhaust fan assembly 42.
Specifically referring to Fig. 6, the size of wind cover 52 and position are set so that the ambient air of maximum flow is brought in the waste gas that leaves nozzle 162 with respect to nozzle 162.Ambient air is by being formed on the annular space between nozzle 162 and the inlet bell 58, and is as shown in arrow 62.Ambient air mixes with the waste gas of the eddy current that leaves by nozzle 162, high speed, and this mixture is discharged by the waste gas outlet that wind overlaps 52 tops.
Many features of this system are to be used to the performance strengthening the ability of entrained ambient air and improve fan.Find: be positioned at the inlet bell that expands 58 that wind overlaps 52 bottoms and can make the ability of entrained ambient air increase several percentage points.This raising of the ability of entrained ambient air is relative with the size of inlet bell 58 insensitive for open angle.This also is the same for the ring-shaped cylinder part 60 that wind overlaps 52 tops.Except the axial height by increasing wind cover 52 can for ring-shaped cylinder part 60 provide improve arbitrarily, also find to make the ability of entrained ambient air to increase by 5% to 8%.Test shows that the minor variations of its length can obviously not change the reinforcement of this performance.
Also find: the I of the overlapping degree between the edge by making nozzle 162 and the root edge of wind cover 52 maximizes the ability of entrained ambient air.In a preferred embodiment, ground, basic isoplanar, these edges is aimed at, make do not have between them overlapping.
Another feature that the service behaviour of fan is significantly improved is the shape of nozzle 162.In the art, thus with its shape of nozzle be configured to make waste gas by radially inwardly guiding " converge " along central axis 56.By outer wall radially being tapered inwardly or by making inner and outer wall all radially inwardly tapered so that waste gas guiding centre axis 56 can be reached this effect.A discovery of the present invention is: by the shape of nozzle 162 being arranged to make waste gas guided by radially outward rather than towards radially inwardly guiding of central axis 56, can increasing the ability of entrained ambient air and reduce the pressure loss.In a preferred embodiment, expand by the top 166 that makes inwall 106 and can reach this effect.This structure can make the ability of entrapped air increase several percent points, reaches 30% and the pressure loss is reduced.This increase of believing the ability of entrapped air is owing to because of not making causing than the giant girth that outer wall 100 radially inwardly causes.The minimizing of believing the pressure loss is because most of exhaust flow that makes progress by annular space 110 near outer wall 100, and by making outer wall 100 keep straight, does not almost have waste gas to turn to because of nozzle 162 or changes direction.
Specifically, also mix by passage, shown in arrow 170 with the ambient air suction and with waste gas referring to Fig. 3.This ambient air flows out the open top of the inwall 106 that expands and mixes with the waste gas that exhales from all nozzles 162 on every side.Thus, ambient air mixes from the inboard of waste gas.
Shown in Fig. 3,4,6 and 7,, above the top of fan shaft 114, be formed with an inclined roof panels 172 in order to protect all fans drive elements in the supporting cavity 108.From the sealing of the open top end of inwall 106, and this top board tilts this top board 172 with supporting cavity 108, thereby can be with the rainwater discharge route.Though this is not a problem when fan running, rainwater and other material will fall into the combination of fans part when the fan stall.
Except the reinforcement to performance discussed above, the structure of exhaust fan assembly makes and can customize to satisfy user's concrete needs it.Such customer requirements comprises the amount of dilution of exhausted air quantity, plume height, ambient air and the assembly parts height more than roof portion.User's target comprises that cost changes little, maximizing performance and Security maximization most.Size or horsepower by selecting fan motor and change four systems parameter shown in Figure 14 and can finish such customization.
Exit area of nozzle:
Increasing this parameter can reduce required motor house power, reduce the ambient air of carrying secretly, the rise height that lowers the column of smoke.Reducing this parameter can increase required motor house power, increase the ambient air of carrying secretly, the rise height that increases the column of smoke.
Wind cover discharge area:
Increase this parameter and can increase the ambient air of carrying secretly, but rise that can appreciable impact column of smoke height or fan flow.Reduce this parameter and can reduce the ambient air of carrying secretly, but rise that can appreciable impact column of smoke height or fan flow.
Wind cover length:
Increase this parameter and can increase the ambient air of carrying secretly, the rise height that increases the column of smoke, but can the appreciable impact fan flow.Reduce this parameter and can reduce ambient air, the minimizing column of smoke rise height of carrying secretly, but can the appreciable impact fan flow.
Wind cover inlet-duct area (minor effect):
Increase this parameter and can increase ambient air, the increase column of smoke rise height of carrying secretly, but can the appreciable impact fan flow.Reduce this parameter and can reduce ambient air, the minimizing column of smoke rise height of carrying secretly, but can the appreciable impact fan flow.
For example, for a specific system, the length that table 1 shows wind cover is the ambient air amount that how to change in waste gas to be carried secretly, and table 2 to show wind cover outlet diameter be how to change the ambient air amount of being carried secretly.
