Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fan, which may be both a radial fan and an axial fan.
  • the fan comprises an impeller with a Vorleit adopted in the flow path in front of the impeller, preferably in front of the inlet region of an inlet nozzle.
  • a genus-forming fan with inflow device on the upstream side is known, for example, from WO 03/054395 A1.
  • the Vorleit noise provided there serves primarily the flow compensation, in particular for noise reduction.
  • the known Vorleit tiles generates a Vordrall in the direction of rotation of the impeller. It is essential that possibly achieved acoustic improvements are regularly accompanied by losses in airflow and efficiency.
  • Vorleitrate are already known, which serve to favor the efficiency and / or the air performance.
  • these Vorleitrise cause acoustic disadvantages and are complicated in construction as well as in the installation in the respective fan products. They are usually not installed in front of inlet nozzles and thus have, in comparison to the fan, no particularly large flow area. As a result, the air velocities in the region of these Vorleitrise are relatively high, which in particular causes the acoustic disadvantages.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a fan with a Vorleit adopted in such a way and further, that with improved, consistent or at most slightly deteriorated acoustic values, the air performance and / or efficiency is increased / are.
  • the tonal noise generated at the fan as a result of inhomogeneous inflow can be reduced, since the diffuser equalizes the inflow.
  • the Vorleitgitter should be inexpensive manufacturable and easy to install.
  • a fan is to be created, which differs from competitive products.
  • a corresponding Vorleitgitter be specified, with which a radial or axial fan can be equipped to meet the above requirements.
  • the webs are arranged and shaped such that a pre-twist is generated against the direction of rotation of the impeller by a flow deflection in the circumferential direction.
  • the Vordrall against the direction of rotation of the impeller has, compared to the same fan without Vorleitgitter, the effect of air performance increase and / or efficiency increase.
  • Acoustic disadvantages are slight, since the louver, upstream, is located in an area where the flow velocities are low.
  • the tonal noise generated at the fan as a result of inhomogeneous inflow can be reduced, since the diffuser equalizes the inflow.
  • radially extending webs of a pilot grid are guide vanes, which, however, deviate from an exactly radial orientation and / or are inclined, curved, rotated or twisted.
  • the guide vanes may have the shape of a wing profile in cross-section.
  • These guide vanes can be interconnected by transverse webs to form a grid.
  • Vorleitgitter similar to an unstructured grid, such as a honeycomb grid is constructed, as long as it is designed so that it generates the Vordrall.
  • the Vorleitgitter includes according to the above statements, many small webs, which are arranged at a relatively large distance from the impeller, namely according to the configuration and arrangement of the Vorleit Anlagen.
  • the Vorleitgitter is arranged in the flow path in front of an inlet nozzle.
  • the area through which it flows can be considerably larger than the cross-sectional area through which it flows in the region of entry into the fan impeller.
  • the air velocities in the region of the pilot grid are low, which has an advantageous effect with regard to noise generation and fluidic losses.
  • the effect of the interaction of a so-called follower with the impeller blades is low.
  • the Vorleitgitter similar to a flow straightener for a certain flow equalization and thus leads to improvements in tonal noise, especially - regardless of - whatever - disturbed inflow conditions.
  • a pre-whirl is generated with a type of flow rectifier. The increase in air output and the efficiency is combined with at most low acoustic deterioration or improvement in disturbed inflow conditions, which is due to the special design of the louver in terms of a Vorleitgitter.
  • the shape or contour of the Vorleitgitters depends on whether it is the fan to a centrifugal fan or an axial fan. In particular, in a centrifugal fan, it is advantageous if the Vorleitgitter hood-like design.
  • the ventilator is an axial ventilator
  • the deflecting grid could be formed in an annular manner, wherein the annular ring can be centrally closed by a functional element.
  • an integral or separate flow hood may be provided, which adjoins the Vorleitgitter or is attached to or in the Vorleitgitter. The flow is then advantageously guided in the inner region (hub region) on a contour.
  • the Vorleitgitter can be made in one piece or in several parts made of plastic. It is preferably produced by injection molding. It has advantageous provisions that allow attachment of the Vorleitgitter, for example on a nozzle plate.
  • the fan can be used in any ventilation arrangements, for example in a housing, an air conditioner, an air or fan wall, etc.
  • a heat exchanger is arranged on the suction side, no matter what type of fan it is in concrete like.
  • the Vorleitgitter invention comprises the Vorleitgitter relevant features of the previously discussed fan. It can be subsequently assigned to the respective fan, namely as part of a retrofit. An exchange is also possible.

  • FIG. 13 shows a comparable construction as in FIG. 9, wherein only the impeller 12 and only the precut grating 1 are shown cut by the fan 6.
  • the Vorleitgitter 1 is shown in a schematic manner by its skeletal surfaces 1 1, i. without manufacturing technology required wall thicknesses. These skeleton surfaces 1 1 correspond to the central surfaces of the webs 2, 3 which are thick with wall thickness.

  • Fig. 13 helpful coordinate systems are still drawn for the description of the invention.
  • the origin is in each case the imaginary point of intersection of the fan axis with the plane of the nozzle plate 10. It is a Cartesian Coordinate system with the coordinates (x, y, z) drawn, where the z-axis is located on the fan axis. Furthermore, a spherical coordinate system with the coordinates (r, ⁇ , O), which are explained by an arbitrary point P, drawn, r describes the distance to the origin, ⁇ the angle between the projected on the xy plane radial beam, the P with the Origin, and the positive x-axis and O the angle between this radial and the z-axis.
  • spherical coordinate systems are well known. At any point, you can now specify the corresponding directions for variations of r, ⁇ or O (each time the two other coordinates are held).
  • the r direction is referred to as the radial direction
  • the ⁇ direction as the circumferential direction (corresponding to the rotational direction about the z axis and the fan axis, respectively)
  • the O direction as the polar direction.
  • Three-dimensional vectors, such as velocities or surface normals can now be expressed in terms of three components, each representing the projection of the vector in the radial, circumferential, and polar directions.
  • vi and the components vi r, ⁇ 1 ⁇ and v1 O generally depend on location and time.
  • the circumferential component ⁇ 1 ⁇ is zero or very small, at least in the spatial or temporal mean, before the precorner lattice 1.
  • a component ⁇ 1 ⁇ of the inflow velocity vi, multiplied by the local center distance, is a measure of the swirl about the fan axis which the inflow in front of the precurvation lattice has.
  • the Vorleitgitter 1 shown in FIGS. 1, 9, 13 generates in the air flowing through a Vordrall. That is, the air velocity v2 after passing through the Vorleitgitter 1 has in space and time, before entering the impeller 12 of the fan 6, a significant spin around the fan axis.
  • the sign of ⁇ 2 ⁇ describes the direction of rotation of the pre-ringer. This can generally be identical or opposite to the direction of rotation of the fan.
  • spatial and temporal mean for example, after flowing through the guide rail 1 1, the amount of the component ⁇ 2 ⁇ greater than 5% of the amount of the total velocity v2 of the air, which then a significant spin around the fan axis before entering the impeller 12.
  • n is shown by way of example at one point in FIG. 13, which can also be expressed in radial, circumferential and polar components (nr, ⁇ , ⁇ ). All surface normal vectors are assumed normalized to length 1 for further consideration.
  • v1 (v1 r, ⁇ 1 ⁇ , ⁇ 1 ⁇ ) ⁇ (v1 r, 0,0).
  • nr a normal vector has a radial component nr which differs significantly from zero, it is advantageous
  • a normal vector of a skeletal surface must have a significant radial component.
  • the second condition is that flow deflection must take place in the circumferential direction, that is, a reaction torque in the circumferential direction must arise, equivalent to a component in the circumferential direction ⁇ of the normal.
  • vector n which differs significantly in magnitude from 0, is advantageous
  • a normal vector must have a significant circumferential component.
  • nr * ncp indicates the direction of rotation of the generated circumferential component ⁇ 2 ⁇ , ie the predrirl, in the described twist-free inflow (a positive sign here means a direction of rotation of the pre-whirl in the positive direction of the coordinate ⁇ ).
  • the area mean value [nr * ncp] of the (signed) product nr * ncp must be determined over the entirety of the Skeletal surfaces 1 1 of a Vorleitgitters differ significantly from zero. This is particularly the case when the magnitude of the area average [nr * ncp] is greater than 0.01, advantageously greater than 0.05.
  • FIG. 2 shows the Vorleitgitter 1 of FIG. 1 in a front view. This view shows that both the radial webs 2 and the transverse webs 3 are at least slightly rotated or inclined or tilted relative to the longitudinal axis.
  • the normal vectors of the transverse webs 3 consistently have a circumferential component of zero, so the transverse webs 3 in the exemplary embodiment do not contribute to the pre-twist generation because the product nr * ncp is zero.
  • the radial webs 2 contribute to the pre-whirl generation.
  • the associated normal vectors have a circumferential component in magnitude greater than 0.95, since the radial webs 2 are oriented mainly in the circumferential direction, but also have a component in the direction of the ball radials defined in FIG. 13 by their clearly visible curvature, the amount of the average over the radial webs 2 about 0.07. This results in a surface mean value [nr * ncp] of about 0.07 for the radial webs and an area average value [nr * ncp] of about 0.05 for the entire precut grid.
  • This Vorleitgitter produces a rather low Vordrall, in which, on average, after flowing through the Vorleitgitters the amount of peripheral speed is about 10% of the amount of the total speed. Nevertheless, with such a Vorleitgitter the air performance and efficiency can be visibly increased when the direction of rotation of the Vordralls is directed against the direction of rotation of the impeller.
  • Low vortex guide gratings are characterized by particularly low noise generation at the fan impeller.
  • a low pre-twist has the advantage that fans designed for pre-whirl-free operation are optimally suited for such a pre-whirl grating. In general, a pre-twist against the direction of rotation of a fan impeller is usually accompanied by an increase in air output compared to the pre-whirl-free operation of the same fan impeller.
  • the sectional view in Figure 3 clearly shows that the radial webs 2 are not exactly radial, whereby a flow deflection is generated in the circumferential direction, since the surface normals are not aligned exactly in the circumferential direction, but also have a radial component.
  • the pre-twist generation shows for all radial webs 2 in the same direction of rotation, since the product nr * ncp always has the same sign.
  • the Radial webs 2 are curved. This allows a particularly low-loss deflection of the flow in the circumferential direction.
  • the radial component nr of the local normal vector is still close to zero, so there is the skeleton surface still approximately parallel, ie without angle of attack, to the inflow, whereby shock losses are minimized. Only on the curvature of the webs is the component nr of the normal vectors in terms of magnitude larger, which then leads to a flow deflection in the circumferential direction.
  • a curved design of the predrilling surfaces is advantageous, but may be more difficult to manufacture than a non-curved design of webs 2, 3. Due to the curved configuration, the webs can also be considered as guide vanes.
  • a Vorleitgitter 1 which generates no Vordrall.
  • Such a Vorleitgitter can reduce spatial and temporal fluctuations in the inflow and thus reduce the noise generated at the fan.
  • the product nr * ncp is equal to zero for all skeletal surfaces, and therefore in particular also the area mean value [nr * ncp] equals zero.
  • the normal vectors of the radial webs 2 have at no point a radial component nr, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, ie they have no angle of attack to the inflow.
  • the normal vectors of the circumferential ridges 3 do not have a circumferential component ⁇ at any point, so they do not produce any Reaction torque in the circumferential direction and thus no flow deflection in the circumferential direction.
  • Fig. 15 can be clearly seen that the radial webs 2 are aligned exactly in the axial direction, which significantly facilitates demolding in an injection mold.
  • a Vorleitgitter 1 is shown, which, seen in spatial and temporal mean generated Vordrall, but does not have curved webs.

  • the radial webs 2 are axially aligned (FIG. 20), which in turn is advantageous for releasability from an injection molding tool.
  • the radial webs 2 are not designed continuously from the outer radius of the Vorleitgitters to the inner radius of the Vorleitgitters. This is not necessary. It is also a completely free design of Vorleitgitter 1 similar to an unstructured grid conceivable.
  • the transverse webs 3 do not have to be continuous. This would not change the pre-twist generation criteria described.
  • the Vorleitgitter 1 can be made in one piece or in several parts of plastic, preferably injection molding technology. Intersection points of the radial webs 2 with the transverse webs 3 may be difficult to demold, in particular due to a curvature or inclination of the radial webs 2. For demolding without a slide in the tool, it may be necessary to provide local material fillings or backfills. It may be also offer a production of several parts or segments, provided that the Vorleitgitter has no supporting function. In contrast, if the Vorleitgitter take on a supporting function, a one-piece, stable design of the Vorleitgitters is preferable. This also applies if the Vorleitgitter 1 is to take over the function of a Berstoffschutzgitters.

  • the hub structure 5 may be integrally formed with the Vorleitgitter 1, or form a separate part.
  • the wings 14 of the axial impeller 13 of the axial fan 7 are adjustable in their staggering angle. This possibility is very advantageous for the use of a Vorleitgitters 1 with Vordrallerzeugung. In a fixed staggering angle increases the Vorleitgitter 1 in the embodiment, the air power, provided that it generates a Vordrall counter to the direction of rotation of the fan impeller 13. If one adapts the staggering angle when using the guide grille in such a way that the same air output is achieved again as without the guide grille, one can thereby achieve this air output with a much higher degree of efficiency than before.
  • an axial fan can be replaced without Vorleitgitter with an axial fan with Vorleitgitter and modified staggering angle, at the same speed the same air performance is achieved, but at the same time the efficiency is increased. Consequently, no larger engine must be used.
  • FIG. 7 shows a front view of the invention Vorleitgitter in section transverse to the longitudinal axis.
  • the inclined radial webs 2 can be seen that here takes place a massive flow deflection of the air flow in the circumferential direction. The flow deflection is advantageously carried out against the direction of rotation of the impeller of the fan, not shown in Figure 8.
  • both the radial portion nr and the peripheral portion ⁇ are relatively large (both greater than 0.3 for the radial ridges 2 at the sectional plane of Fig. 8, ie the product nr * ncp im Amount greater than 0.09, which is a very large value and represents a strong diversion).
  • nr * ncp im Amount greater than 0.09 which is a very large value and represents a strong diversion.
  • the direction of rotation of the pre-whirl thus generated is in the example opposite to the direction of rotation of the fan impeller in operation. Due to the strong pre-twist, the fan's air output increases considerably, it can increase by more than 50% compared to the operation of the fan without pre-whirl.
  • Fig. 8 it can be seen that the radial webs 3 in the embodiment have no constant thickness, but in cross section have a profiling similar to that of an airfoil. This design allows an additional reduction of the flow losses when flowing through the grid as well as an improvement of the aeroacoustic properties. However, the manufacturability in plastic injection molding is difficult.
  • FIG. 10 shows the Vorleitgitter 1 according to the invention in combination with an axial fan 7 with axial impeller 13, which is also only indicated here. It can be clearly seen that the flow is also conducted in the hub area.
  • the flow guide on the hub is contoured on the impeller hub.
  • the flow hood 4 and the hub contour 5 are clearly visible.
  • the direction of rotation of the Vordralls generated by Vorleitgitter is advantageous against the direction of rotation of the axial impeller 13 to increase the air power.
  • FIGS. 1 and 12 each show for themselves the fan 7 with axial impeller 13 with guide rail 1 according to the invention from FIG. 10, with a respective heat exchanger 8 being arranged on the suction side.
  • a quadrangular heat exchanger 8 is shown, through which the fan sucks the air parallel to the axial direction. After flowing through the quadrangular heat exchanger 8 creates a spatial and temporal irregularities (fluctuations) of the inflow. These fluctuations are reduced by the Vorleitgitter.
  • a quadrangular heat exchanger 8 is shown, through which the fan sucks the air transversely to the axial direction. This results in particularly strong spatial and temporal irregularities (fluctuations) of the inflow, which in turn are reduced by the Vorleitgitter. This reduces the tonal noise generation on the fan.
  • Vorleitgitters a peripheral component of the flow to generate before entering the radial or axial impeller.
  • This property can be attributed to certain geometric properties of the skeletal surfaces or their normal vector distributions of the preliminary lattice as described.
  • the exact structure of the Vorleitgitter can be done in a variety of ways. For example, a construction of radial and peripheral webs does not necessarily have to be realized; alternatively, a structure would be similar to an unstructured grid or a honeycomb-like structure Structure conceivable. The criteria for the normal vectors of the skeletal surfaces of the lattice are unchanged in such cases.
