Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fan with rotationally symmetrical housing for conveying air or other gases.
  • Such fans are used in particular at the beginning, inside or at the end of pipelines. They are therefore often called tube fans.
  • the field of application of the pipe ventilator according to the invention is not limited to use in piping systems.
  • tube fans There are a number of different constructions of tube fans known.
  • a first type of tube fans see, eg US 2003/0206800
  • a second type of tube fans also has a bulbous housing.
  • Diagonallaufrad a radially aligned diffuser connects.
  • a Diagonallaufrad consisting of a support plate and a number of two-dimensionally curved, non-profiled sheet metal blades, and an axially adjacent diffuser has a third type of tube fans.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a tubular fan with a very high efficiency and a high power density with a low overall noise.
  • the tube fan according to the invention is characterized in that the diaphragm fan, consisting of cover plate, support plate and a number of blades attached to these two discs in the axial direction, a nozzle is connected downstream.
  • the impeller blades and the guide vanes of the pipe ventilator according to the invention are curved in three dimensions and profiled in order to be able to take account of the different angles of incidence along the leading edges of the blades.
  • the profiling is a substantially continuous increase of the blade cross-section up to a maximum and an adjoining substantially continuous decrease of the blade cross-section.
  • the pipe ventilator according to the invention in particular does not need to have an inlet nozzle when the impeller cover plate widens like a nozzle.
  • the seal between suction and pressure chamber can be made at the impeller outlet.
  • a diffuser can be connected downstream of the distributor.
  • the housing of the tube fan can be ideally made of a one-piece cylindrical tube.
  • the tube fan 10 has an outer housing shell 12, which encloses a circular cylindrical, straight cylinder interior.
  • a left and right flange 18, 20 are fixedly mounted externally on the housing shell 12, which project beyond the housing jacket 12 in the axial direction (axis 22).
  • flanges 18, 20 can be connected at both ends of the housing shell 12 and thus on the pipe fan 10 each have a pipe 24, 26 of a pipe not shown.
  • the tube fan 10 can thus be installed between the tubes 24, 26.
  • the outer diameter 28 and 30 of the tubes 24 and 26 thus corresponds in the present example also the Außi tomesser 32 of the housing shell 12.
  • the tubes 24, 26 could each have a different diameter from the outer diameter and are connected via a corresponding pipe adapter to the pipe fan.
  • the pipe ventilator 10 has a diagonal impeller 40, which is present on the input side of this fan 10. Downstream of this Diagonallaufrades 40 is a guide 42 and then the same still formed a diffuser 44 following the diagonal impeller 40 within the tubular fan 10.
  • the gaseous flow medium forced through the tube fan 10 by means of the diagonal impeller 40 flows around a central interior of the tube ventilator 10, which is delimited outwardly by the carrier disc 50 of the tube ventilator 10 and an intermediate casing 52 which adjoins the carrier disc 50 in a streamlined manner.
  • the carrier disc 50 curves at the end in the axial direction, so that it abuts aerodynamically on the aligned in the axial direction intermediate jacket 52.
  • the flow medium thus flows radially outward on the support disk 50 and past the intermediate casing 52.
  • the Diagonallaufradrad 40 has circumferentially distributed blades 54 which are fixed with its one side to the support plate 50 and with its opposite other side to a cover plate 56.
  • the blades 54 are profiled cross-section in the present case and also wound.
  • its inflow-side leading edge 55 which is aligned approximately perpendicular to the flow direction (arrow 58) of the flowing flow medium, is provided with a fillet.
  • the outflow-side outlet edge 60 which is likewise oriented approximately perpendicular to the diagonal flow (arrow 62) leaving the downstream side, has the shape of a point.
  • the cross-section of the individual blades 54 is not constant in the region between the support disk 50 and the cover disk 56, but varies in size.
  • each blade 54 decreases from the region of the cover disk 56 to the region of the support disk 50, so that the blade 54 is the least curved in the region of the support disk 50 and the most curved in the region of the cover disk 56.
  • the decrease in curvature could also be opposite, with the strongest curvature in the region of the support disk. This depends on the different flow conditions along the blades 54 between their respective connection area on the cover disk 56 and on the support disk 50 off.
  • the leading edge 55 and the trailing edge 60 may be present instead of just curved.
  • the curvature of all vanes 54 of the diagonal impeller 40 may have a so-called forward curvature or reverse curvature. Which curvature is selected depends on whether or not the velocity energy present there is still to be converted into pressure downstream of the impeller. With forwardly curved blades, a greater deflection of the flow medium in the region of the blades is achieved compared to backward curved blades, which leads to a greater energy conversion with the requirement that the velocity energy is still downstream, for example by means of the diffuser 44 in pressure.
  • the cover plate 56 runs on the inflow side with a radially oriented end wall 61, which is very narrow in the present case.
  • the radially inwardly bulged starting portion 56.1 of the cover plate 56 to the end wall 61 runs relatively pointed.
  • the downstream end portion 56.2 of the cover plate 56 has a much stronger downstream tip, as it has the initial region 56.1.
  • an angled annular gap 68 is present in the present case, which can not be avoided in principle due to the stationary housing wall 12 and the rotating Diagonallaufrades 40.
  • this angled annular gap 68 is a sealing element 70, the distance in a engages in the cover plate 56 angularly shaped annular groove 72.
  • This angled annular gap 68 represents a flow labyrinth and prevents or impedes that the gas flow leaving the blades 54 flows backwards through the annular gap 68 into the intermediate space 74 which is present between the cover disk 56 and the housing jacket 12. The stronger such a return flow is formed, the lower the efficiency of the tube fan 10.
  • the flow leaving the diagonal impeller 40 then flows through the region of the guide device 42.
  • guide vanes 80 are arranged between the intermediate casing 52 and the housing wall. In the present case, these guide vanes 80 are more curved in their outer region 80.1, which faces the housing shell 12, than in its inner region 80.2, which faces the intermediate casing 52. In this way, the gas flow leaving the diagonal impeller 40 in a helical, diagonal direction is deflected in an axial flow direction (arrow 84).
  • the guide vanes 80 are wound three-dimensionally and formed profiled.
  • the outer side of the wall section 52.1 of the intermediate jacket 52 is planar in the area of the guide vanes 80. However, it is also possible to increase the distance between the intermediate jacket 52 and the housing shell 12 in the flow direction by the intermediate jacket 52 downstream has a decreasing diameter.
  • a transverse wall 86 is fixed to the intermediate casing 52, in the region of the blades 80, to which the motor 88 driving the diagonal impeller 40 is fastened.
  • the diffuser 44 is formed downstream thereof.
  • This diffuser 44 is structurally realized by a flow-ring channel which enlarges on the outflow side between the housing jacket 12 and the intermediate jacket 52.
  • the intermediate jacket 52 is inclined in the region of the diffuser 44 with an angle 90 which is greater than zero degrees and less than 30 degrees, against the axial direction 22.1.
  • this wall section 52.2 is also planar, as is the wall section 52.1 in the region of the guide device 42.
  • the wall portion 52.2 may be bent in the axial direction, so that the flow ring channel widens in cross-section reinforced in the flow direction.
  • the in Fig. 2 illustrated tube fan 10.2 differs from the tube fan 10 in principle in particular in that its housing shell 12 is surrounded by an insulating sleeve 92 performing insulating material 94.
  • This insulating sleeve 92 is annularly bordered by a respective end Z-shaped tubular frame 96.
  • This frame 96 surrounds the front edge of the housing shell 12 with a bead 98.
  • the annular shape of the housing shell 12 and thus the tube fan 10.2 - the same is true for the tube fan 10 - makes attaching an external insulation structurally very simple. Thus, no bulged wall portions of the tube fan are present, as is the case in the prior art, which can disguise only relatively complex with material outside.
  • the defined by the intermediate sheath 52 sleeve is designed to sound permeable and thereby acts sound-absorbing.
  • the intermediate jacket is formed at least in the wall portion 52.2 as a perforated plate.
