Abstract
The fan casing has more than one outlet (A-D), preferably two or four outlets. The casing is of a substantially square-shaped outline and the outlets are situated in the comers thereof.
The fan has an impeller (5) and comprises the casing, in which the length (a) of one side of the casing is less than 15% larger than the diameter (b) of the impeller.
Description
- The invention relates to a fan casing, particularly one to be fitted to a rotary vane air compressor or vacuum pump (hereinafter: compressor), a fan comprising said casing, and a gas-cooled (hereinafter: air-cooled) device having at one or each end thereof said fan.
- It is known that a considerable amount of heat is generated as the compressor is operated. It is also known that for continuous high performance of the compressor one way to remove this heat is to use a fan to draw or blow cooling air across the compressor which is finned to assist the cooling. The fans used for this purpose are generally fans consisting of an impeller without any proper casing which would increase the efficiency of the fan. It is known that the efficiency of cooling could be considerably increased by using a centrifugal fan having an impeller rotatably mounted within a scroll- shaped casing associated with the compressor. However fans with such a casing are not used because of the size of the casing needed.
- One of the prime parameters of a compressor is its size relative to its output. Important factors of fan performance include the ratio of the outside dimensions of the casing to the diameter of the impeller. The outside dimensions of the casing of a typical known centrifugal fan, i.e. a fan having a single outlet, are at least 60% greater than the diameter of its impeller.
- The aim of the invention is to avoid this disadvantage.
- This is achieved, according to the invention, by a fan casing having more than one outlet. A preferred embodiment of a casing according to the invention has two or four outlets.
- The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a radial section through a fan, and
- Figure 2 is an axial section through the fan shown in Figure 1 attached a compressor.
- The illustrated fan comprises a scroll-type casing 4 in which is rotatably mounted an
impeller 5. As can be seen from Figure 1 the casing 4 has a substantially square-shaped outline and has four outlets A, B, C, D spaced through 90° from each other. This configuration of the casing 4 results in an overall dimension a of the casing 4 being less than 15% larger than the diameter b of theimpeller 5, so that, for a given overall size a, the air throughput is increased because alarger diameter impeller 5 may be used with a casing 4 according to the invention than could be used with the known casing having the usual single large outlet. - Figure 2 shows a compressor 1 provided with fins 2 and 3. To the illustrated end of the compressor 1 is attached the fan shown in Figure 1, which has an end cover 6 and the
impeller 5 of which is carried by a shaft 7. In the illustrated embodiment both the fan and the compressor 1 have a common shaft 7, which protrudes from the compressor 1 at the other, non-illustrated end thereof and is there driven in a manner known per se e.g. by an electric motor. - In a preferred embodiment the compressor 1 will have one fan according to the invention attached at one end and another at the other end, and the compressor 1 and both the fans will have a common shaft 7 which will pass through the end cover 6 of one of the fans, and the whole assembly of the two fans and compressor 1 will be driven as mentioned above.
- As is shown by the arrows in Figure 2, air is drawn by the
impeller 5 across the fins 2 and 3 of the compressor 1, which is thereby cooled, and the air is then expelled through the four outlets A-D in the casing 4 shown in Figure 1. - It will be appreciated that the length of the lateral walls of the casing 4 will be adapted to the length of the compressor 1 so as to force the cooling air to flow across a greater area of the fins 2 than is shown. Naturally, better cooling is achieved by using two fans as explained above. It will also be appreciated that the casing 4 of the fan need not have four outlets but may have only two outlets or any other number of outlets greater than one depending on the cross-sectional shape of the casing 4 desirable for any particular application.
