These are specifically combined functions of the radial and cross-flow fan technology as well as the side channel compressor technology, whereby this fan technology is referred to as HG technology. Depending on the design and execution, one or the other technique dominates.
  • the impeller 10 When the impeller 10 rotates in the direction of rotation A, the impeller 10 acts as a radial fan in the region of the first suction chamber V1. Outside air is sucked through the air intake opening 28 into the first suction chamber Vl and accelerated radially outward over the peripheral region of the first suction chamber Vl by the blade ring 15. This accelerated air flow is divided outside into a working flow Al and a working flow A2. The working flow Al passes back into the first suction chamber Vl and is again accelerated outwards by the radial fan action, wherein a substantial part of this working flow reaches the spiral extension area at the opposite end of the first suction chamber V1.
  • the impeller In the region of the second suction chamber V2, the impeller is not closed at its two axial end faces by the side walls 25, 26. Towards the interior, the dividing wall 28 forms a tight seal, and at the first circumferential wall region 19 lying opposite the dividing wall, this forms the seal.
  • the impeller 10 therefore operates in the region of the second suction chamber V2 exclusively as a cross-flow fan, which sucks the working stream A2 and thereby supported by the S-shaped curvature of the third peripheral wall portion 22 and the indentation 23. This working stream A2 is then compressed and blown out again on the opposite side of the impeller 10.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une soufflante radiale avec une roue mobile (10) en forme de pot et avec un carter (11) recevant la roue mobile (10). La paroi périphérique (18) de ce carter présente, en partant d'une première région de paroi circonférentielle (19) incurvée en forme de cercle partiel et s'étendant directement le long de la roue mobile (10) : d'une part, dans la direction de rotation de la roue mobile (10), une deuxième région de paroi circonférentielle (20) dont la distance radiale par rapport à la roue mobile (10) augmente sans cesse en spirale jusqu'à une région de sortie (21) ; et d'autre part, à l'encontre de la direction de rotation de la roue mobile (10), une troisième région de paroi circonférentielle (22) s'étendant également jusqu'à la région de sortie (21). Deux parois latérales (25, 26) recouvrent les côtés frontaux axiaux de la roue mobile ; une cloison séparatrice (28), disposée sur une des parois latérales, s'engage dans la roue mobile (10) en forme de pot et divise l'espace intérieur de celle-ci en une première chambre d'aspiration (V1) et une deuxième chambre d'aspiration (V2), une ouverture d'aspiration (29) étant associée à la première chambre d'aspiration (V1). La troisième région de paroi circonférentielle (22) est, en partant de la première région de paroi circonférentielle (19), incurvée en S jusqu'à la région de sortie (21), sachant que sa région partielle (24) incurvée dans le même sens que la première région de paroi circonférentielle (19) forme un élément de guidage de flux pour un flux d'air ramené vers la deuxième chambre d'aspiration (V2). La section de la région de sortie (21) s'élargit à la manière d'un diffuseur dans la direction du flux sortant. Cette configuration permet d'obtenir une soufflante radiale de rendement accru et de puissance de soufflante accrue, pour un volume réduit.
