Description
- The present invention relates to an axial fan mounted on a ceiling portion of a tunnel for blowing out a jet to ventilate the inside of the tunnel. This kind of axial fan is generally called the jet fan.
- The jet fan mounted in the tunnel generates a thrust to induce a longitudinal flow of air for ventilation of air inside the tunnel. The air inside the tunnel receives from the jet fan a pressure equal to a value obtained by dividing the generated thrust by the sectional area of the tunnel. Recently, with an increase in traffic in the tunnel or an increase in power consumption, there is an increasing demand toward a strengthening of ventilation by the jet fan such that the jet fan may generate a higher thrust and have a higher efficiency.
- Fig. 9 depicts a conventional jet fan comprising a
cylindrical casing 101, anelectric motor 102 accommodated therein, and animpeller 103 directly connected to theelectric motor 102. The jet fan shown in Fig. 9 also comprises generally cylindrical front andrear silencers 104 for absorbing noise generated by theimpeller 103. - Fig. 10 depicts another conventional jet fan having a plurality of inlet guide vanes 105.
- Fig. 11 depicts a further conventional jet fan having a plurality of
outlet guide vanes 106. - In these conventional jet fans, when the
electric motor 102 rotates, theimpeller 103 increases the air pressure to make a flow of air. Because this kind of air flow has a rotating component, the jet fan shown in Fig. 10 or 11 having the guide vanes 105 or 106 reduces the rotating component of the air flow and, hence, has a higher efficiency than that shown in Fig. 9. -
FR 1 601 611 A representing the closest prior art from which the invention proceeds discloses a jet fan for ventilating an inside of a tunnel, said jet fan comprising a generally cylindrical casing, an electric motor accommodated therein, an impeller connected to the electric motor, and a booster ring disposed concentrically with the casing and located downstream thereof with respect to a direction of an air flow. - In the conventional jet fans, however, the thrust generated thereby is determined as the product of three values, the air density, the mass low rate passing through the jet fan, and the speed of a jet blown out of a silencer. Accordingly, only an increase in either the mass flow rate or the speed of the jet results in an increase in thrust.
- It is an objective of the present invention to provide a highly efficient jet fan capable of generating a high thrust to further increase the air pressure inside the tunnel without increasing the mass flow rate and the speed of the jet.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide the jet fan of the above-described type which has a simple construction and can be manufactured at a low cost.
- In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a jet fan for ventilating an inside of a tunnel, said jet fan comprising a generally cylindrical casing, an electric motor accommodated therein, an impeller connected to the electric motor, and a booster ring disposed concentrically with the casing and located downstream thereof with respect to a direction of an air flow, characterized by said booster ring having a leading edge facing an air outlet of the jet fan and a trailing edge of a diameter smaller than that of the leading edge but greater than that of the air outlet, said booster ring also having an aerofoil sectional profile or an arcuated plate sectional profile as viewed in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the casing and having an upper surface of aerofoil or arcuated plate sectional profile as its inner surface, and said booster ring being secured to the generally cylindrical casing via a plurality of radial ribs having one of a polygonal section, a round section, and a streamline section.
- In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a jet fan for ventilating an inside of a tunnel, said jet fan comprising a generally cylindrical casing, an electric motor accommodated therein, an impeller connected to the electric motor, and a booster ring disposed concentrically with the casing and located downstream thereof with respect to a direction of an air flow, characterized by said booster ring having a leading edge facing an air outlet of the jet fan and a trailing edge of a diameter smaller than that of the leading edge but greater than that of the air outlet, said booster ring also having an aerofoil sectional profile or an arcuated plate sectional profile as viewed in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the casing and having an upper surface of aerofoil or arcuated plate sectional profile as its inner surface, and said booster ring being secured to a ceiling of the tunnel via a support rod.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided another booster ring disposed concentrically with the casing and located downstream thereof with respect to the direction of the air flow.
- The above-described construction generates a lift and a drag on the booster ring by making use of a flow of air resulting from ambient air drawn into a high-speed jet. A resultant force of the lift and the drag has an axial component force directed opposite to the direction of the jet and creating a thrust on the booster ring. Because the jet receives a force in the direction thereof as a reaction of the thrust generated on the booster ring, the jet fan of the present invention can further increase the air pressure inside the tunnel compared with the conventional jet fan having no booster ring.
- The above and other objectives and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, throughout which like parts are designated by like reference numerals, and wherein:

- Referring now to the drawings, there is shown in Fig. 1 a jet fan according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown therein, the jet fan comprises a generally
cylindrical casing 1, anelectric motor 2 accommodated therein, animpeller 3 directly connected to theelectric motor 2, and generally cylindrical front andrear silencers 4 for absorbing noise generated by theimpeller 3. The jet fan further comprises abooster ring 8 having an aerofoil or arcuated plate sectional profile as viewed in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of thecasing 1. Thebooster ring 8 is secured to the generally cylindricalrear silencer 4 in concentric relation therewith via a plurality ofradial ribs 7. Thebooster ring 8 has an upper surface of aerofoil or arcuated plate sectional profile as its inner surface, and also has a leading edge facing an air or jet outlet of the jet fan and a trailing edge of a diameter smaller than that of the leading edge but greater than that of the air outlet. - By the above-described construction, when the
electric motor 2 rotates, theimpeller 3 generates a flow of air which in turn passes as a jet through therear silencer 4. The jet draws ambient air into thebooster ring 8 to form a flow of air directed thereto. As a result, a lift L and a drag D exert on thebooster ring 8, as shown in Fig. 6. A resultant force of the lift L and the drag D has a component force Tt acting in a direction axially of thecasing 1. This component force Tt is directed opposite to the direction of the jet and is regarded as a thrust exerting on thebooster ring 8. - Fig. 7 indicates one example of measurement results of the thrust Tt exerting on the
booster ring 8, while Fig. 8 depicts a booster ring used in the measurement. Fig. 7 indicates a relationship between the distance (x) from the jet outlet (outlet diameter: 100 mm) to the leading edge of thebooster ring 8 and the thrust Tt exerting on the booster ring with the speed of the jet as a parameter. Fig. 7 reveals that the thrust Tt has been generated on the booster ring when the speed of the jet is 8 m/s, 17.7 m/s, 21.7 m/s or 27.7 m/s and when the distance (x) ranges 0 to 350 mm. - As a reaction of the thrust Tt thus generated on the
booster ring 8, the jet receives a booster force Fj in the direction of the jet. Accordingly, the provision of thebooster ring 8 as shown in Fig. 1 allows the jet fan to have an increased thrust and a higher efficiency, thus making it possible to increase the air pressure inside the tunnel. - It is to be noted here that although in the above-described embodiment the
booster ring 8 has been described as having an aerofoil section, it may have an arcuated plate section as far as it has a streamline-shaped inner surface. It is further to be noted that thebooster ring 8 may be made of a ring-shaped generally flat plate. In this case, however, the generally flat plate is bent so as to have a radially inwardly protruding generally arcuated shape in the direction of the jet. - It is also to be noted that although the
radial ribs 7 may have a polygonal section such as a rectangular section or a round section, they preferably have a streamline section to reduce air resistance or pressure loss. - Fig. 2 depicts a jet fan according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is of a structure similar to the jet fan of Fig. 1, but further comprises a plurality of
inlet guide vanes 5 fixedly mounted around theelectric motor 2 located upstream of theimpeller 3 with respect to a direction of the air flow. - Fig. 3 depicts a jet fan according to a third embodiment of the present invention, which is of a structure similar to the jet fan of Fig. 1, but further comprises a plurality of
outlet guide vanes 6 fixedly mounted around theelectric motor 2 located downstream of theimpeller 3 with respect to the direction of the air flow. - Each of the structures shown in Figs. 2 and 3 can reduce the rotating component of the air flow generated by the
impeller 3. Accordingly, the thrust generated by the jet fan and the efficiency thereof can be further enhanced, compared with the jet fan of Fig. 1, to thereby increase the air pressure inside the tunnel. - Fig. 4 depicts a jet fan according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, which is of a structure identical to the jet fan of Fig. 1, but has another
booster ring 8 secured to the generally cylindricalrear silencer 4 in concentric relation therewith via a plurality ofradial ribs 7. - It is to be noted that although the jet fan shown in Figs. 1 to 4 has one or two
booster rings 8, it may have three or more booster rings disposed concentrically with one another. - Fig. 5 depicts a jet fan according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, which comprises a generally
cylindrical casing 1, anelectric motor 2 accommodated therein, animpeller 3 directly connected to theelectric motor 2, and generally cylindrical front andrear silencers 4. The jet fan of Fig. 5 further comprises abooster ring 8 not connected directly thereto but secured to the ceiling of the tunnel via a support rod 9 so that thecasing 1 and thebooster ring 8 are axially aligned in concentric relation. - As described hereinabove, according to the present invention, one or more booster rings 8 disposed concentrically with the
casing 1 contribute to an increase in thrust and also in efficiency, thus increasing the air pressure inside the tunnel. Accordingly, supposing that the amount of ventilation required is the same, the jet fan of the present invention can reduce the power consumption or the number thereof can be reduced compared with the conventional case.
