Definitions
- the invention relates to a fan wheel of an axial fan with a plurality of fan wheel blades arranged around an axis of rotation in a blade ring.
- Fan wheels of the generic type of axial fans for generating an axial air flow have been known for a long time and usually comprise a plurality of fan wheel blades which, starting from the hub, extend radially outward and are arranged in a blade ring.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a fan wheel that ensures a reduction in the sound level generated during operation, in particular in such disturbed installation situations.
- a fan wheel of an axial fan with several fan wheel blades arranged around an axis of rotation in a blade ring in which at least one of the fan wheel blades has a radially inner section and a blade edge section directly adjoining the inner section and adjoining a blade edge.
- the at least one fan wheel blade has a local projection over a radial extent of the blade edge section, which is formed as an extension of the chord length of the fan wheel blade and locally enlarges the fan wheel blade in the blade edge section.
- the blade edge section is thus delimited from the inner section and defined in that the projection is always provided. It is also essential to the invention that a mean angle of attack of the fan wheel blade, in particular in the blade edge section, with respect to a plane of rotation of the fan wheel is greater than a mean angle of attack of the projection with respect to the plane of rotation.
- a preferred embodiment variant provides that the mean angle of attack of the projection with respect to the plane of rotation of the fan wheel has a value between 1-15 °, more preferably between 3-10 °.
- the angle of attack of the projection is always smaller than that of the fan impeller blade in the area outside the projection.
- fan impellers of axial fans use a ring that surrounds the impeller blades radially on the outside, which is often referred to as a centrifugal ring.
- an advantageous embodiment of the fan wheel of the present disclosure is specifically directed to the fan wheel blades ending freely at their respective radial blade edges and being free from connection, i. that no ring or the like connects the impeller blades.
- the free end the radially outer blade edges of the impeller blades are not influenced in terms of flow, so that the effect of the projection is beneficial.
- the blade edge section of the at least one fan wheel blade adjoining the blade edge is determined in a radial outer region of the fan wheel blade.
- the size of this radial outer area and thus the radial extent of the projection is defined by the ratio of the radius LS of the fan wheel blade up to the blade edge section to the maximum radius of the fan wheel blade LD such that 0.7 LS / LD 1, preferably 0.85 LS / LD ⁇ 0.95.
- the chord length of the fan wheel blade in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation is locally increased relative to the inner section such that 1.05 L1 / L2 1 applies, 4, more preferably 1.1 L1 / L2 1.3, where L1 is the maximum chord length of the fan wheel blade in the blade edge section and L2 is the chord length of the fan impeller blade at the boundary between the inner section and the blade edge section, in each case measured at the radially outer blade edge of the fan wheel blade.
- the fan impeller blades each have a leading edge and a trailing edge. A particularly advantageous effect for noise reduction is achieved if the projection is formed on the blade leading edge.
- the blade trailing edge in turn, has a convexly rounded, arched course in a favorable embodiment.
- the blade leading edge is also preferably curved in an arc shape, but with a larger, in particular many times larger, radius than the blade trailing edge.
- an embodiment of the fan wheel is advantageous in which the projection is formed in one piece with the fan wheel blade.
- the fan wheel is preferably made of plastic, so that all technical features influencing the flow are integrally formed in the fan wheel blades.
- the projection has a tip pointing in the circumferential direction.
- the tip is preferably spaced radially inward relative to a maximum outer radius of the fan wheel blade. This means that the projection is designed to be drawn in radially inward, but the tip preferably defines an imaginary circle during operation which is spaced apart from the outer radius of the fan wheel.
- an embodiment variant of the fan wheel is advantageous in which the tip of the projection in the blade edge section is offset radially outwards off-center.
- the projection is formed in such a way that its tip pointing in the circumferential direction is closer to the outer radius than to the inner section of the fan wheel blade.
- a configuration of the impeller blades in which the tip of the projection is rounded off also has a flow-technical and noise-reducing effect on the fan wheel.
- the fan wheel blades each have a winglet on their radially outer blade edge.
- a winglet is defined as a design on the fan wheel blade in which a thickening or rounding from the bottom to the top is provided on the radial end of the fan wheel blade.
- brushes can also be provided on the radially outer edge of the blade.
- the fan wheel blades at least along the projection, have a smaller average blade thickness than in the remaining area of the respective fan wheel blade.
- the fan wheel blades are preferably designed in such a way that they each define a radial central region around their radial center, in which the chord length of the fan wheel blade has a maximum.
- the central area extends preferably up to 30% of the radial maximum extent of the fan wheel blade around its radial center.
- fan wheel is preferred in which all fan wheel blades are of identical design.
- the disclosure further includes an axial fan with a fan wheel described above.
- FIGS. 1 - 5 show an embodiment of a fan wheel 1 of an axial fan, in which five identical fan wheel blades 2 extend radially outward starting from the hub 17 and form a ring of blades around the axis of rotation RA.
- the number of fan wheel blades 2 is set to five merely by way of example, but can also be higher or lower in alternative embodiments.
- Each fan wheel blade 2 has a blade trailing edge 8, a blade leading edge 9 and a radial blade edge 5 which ends freely.
- the individual fan impeller blades 2 are connected exclusively via the hub 17.
- the blade leading edges 8 are convexly rounded in the circumferential direction and each determine an arcuate course, the blade leading edges 9 extending from the hub 17 essentially in a straight line radially outward.
- the fan impeller blades 2 are clearly seen to be arched and inclined with respect to the plane of rotation RE.
- Stiffening ribs 25 aligned in the circumferential direction are formed on their respective axial underside, some of which extend as far as the hub 17 and are connected to it over a predetermined axial extent.
- the fan impeller blades 2 each have an inner section 3 lying radially on the inside and a blade edge section 4 which, viewed in the radial direction, directly adjoins the inner section 3 and extends to the respective blade edge 5.
- the boundary 13 between the inner section 3 and the blade edge section 4 is shown in FIG Figure 1 entered a dashed line.
- the radially outwardly lying blade edge section 4 is defined in the fan wheel blades 2 in that it has the local protrusion 6 over its radial extent, which locally increases the chord length of the respective fan wheel blade 2 in the blade edge section 4 in the circumferential direction.
- the boundary 13 is thus defined at the point at which the projection 6 begins.
- the projection 6 is embodied on the respective blade leading edges 9 in an essentially triangular basic shape which has a rounded tip 10 pointing in the circumferential direction.
- a line is identified by the reference numeral 12 which shows the position of the tip 10 parallel to the blade edge 5.
- the tip 10 of the projection 6 is spaced radially inwardly in relation to a maximum outer radius of the fan wheel blade 2 and is thus offset radially outwardly off-center in the radial direction in the blade edge section 4. This is achieved by different angular profiles of the outer edges of the projection 6, which are formed on the one hand by the blade leading edge 9 and on the other hand by the blade edge 5.
- each setting angle along the fan wheel blade 2 with respect to the plane of rotation RE is always smaller than each setting angle along the projection 6 with respect to the plane of rotation RE.
- the total angle of incidence ⁇ of the fan impeller blade 2 is shown along the chord length L in the central area MB around the radial center, which connects the edge point XV1 on the blade trailing edge 8 with the edge point XV2 on the blade leading edge 9.
- the chord length L has its maximum in the central area MB.
- the projection 6 is formed in one piece on the fan impeller blade 2, but its extension and the resulting chord lengthening can be clearly determined and delimited by the abrupt change in the course of the blade leading edge 9.
- Alternative designs provide that the projection is attached as an attachment to the respective fan wheel blade.
- the projection 6 in the blade edge section 4 assumes a radial extent which is determined by the ratio LS / LD, which in the case shown is 0.88.
- LS is the radius of the fan wheel blade 2 up to the blade edge section 4, LD the maximum outer radius of the fan wheel blade 2.
- the ratio LS / LD should be between 0.7-1, in particular between 0.85-0.98.
- the size of the projection 6 in the circumferential direction is determined by the different chord lengths.
- the chord length of the fan impeller blade 2 is increased by the projection 6 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation RA such that the ratio of the maximum chord length L1 of Fan wheel blade 2 including the projection 6 for the chord length L2 of the fan wheel blade 2 without the projection 6 is 1.2.
- the ratio should be set between 1.05-1.3, in particular between 1.1-1.2.
- the blade thickness of the projection 6 can optionally be greater than the blade thickness of the remaining fan wheel 2, as in FIG Figure 4 shown.
- Figure 6 shows the advantages achieved by the design of the fan wheel 2 according to the invention for reducing the sound pressure level Lp at the different frequencies f
- the solid line 77 showing the result of the wheel 2 according to FIG Figure 1
- the dashed line 88 identifies an identical impeller without a projection 6.
- the sound pressure level can be reduced significantly over the entire frequency curve, but especially at very low frequencies.
- the Figure 7 shows a comparison of the ratio of the angle of attack ⁇ to the maximum angle of attack p_max of the fan impeller blade 2 with the projection 6 from FIG Figure 1 over the radial course of the radius r to the maximum radius r_max compared to the prior art (dashed line) without a projection.
- the falling angle of attack at the beginning of the blade edge section 4 at a ratio r / r_max of 0.9 can be clearly seen.
- Figure 8 shows a diagram of the chord length L to the maximum chord length L_max of the fan wheel blade 2 with the projection 6 from Figure 1 over the radial course of the radius r to the maximum radius r_max compared to the prior art (dashed line) without a projection.
- the maximum of the chord length is 0.7 of the total radial extension of the fan impeller blade 2. In the blade edge section 4, the chord length increases locally around the projection 6.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lüfterrad eines Axialventilators mit mehreren um eine Rotationsachse in einem Schaufelkranz angeordneten Lüfterradschaufeln.The invention relates to a fan wheel of an axial fan with a plurality of fan wheel blades arranged around an axis of rotation in a blade ring.
Gattungsgemäße Lüfterräder von Axialventilatoren zur Erzeugung eines Axialluftstromes sind seit langem bekannt und umfassen üblicherweise eine Mehrzahl von Lüfterradschaufeln, die sich ausgehend von der Nabe nach radial außen erstrecken und in einem Schaufelkranz angeordnet sind.Fan wheels of the generic type of axial fans for generating an axial air flow have been known for a long time and usually comprise a plurality of fan wheel blades which, starting from the hub, extend radially outward and are arranged in a blade ring.
Problematisch ist die Geräuscherzeugung aufgrund von Wirbelbildung, insbesondere in hinsichtlich der Zuströmung und/oder Anströmung gestörten EinbaubedingungenThe generation of noise due to the formation of eddies is particularly problematic in installation conditions that are disturbed in terms of inflow and / or inflow
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lüfterrad bereitzustellen, das insbesondere in derartigen gestörten Einbausituationen eine Reduktion des im Betrieb erzeugten Schallpegels gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a fan wheel that ensures a reduction in the sound level generated during operation, in particular in such disturbed installation situations.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the combination of features according to
Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Lüfterrad eines Axialventilators mit mehreren um eine Rotationsachse in einem Schaufelkranz angeordneten Lüfterradschaufeln vorgeschlagen, bei dem mindestens eine der Lüfterradschaufeln einen radial innen liegenden Innenabschnitt und einen sich an den Innenabschnitt unmittelbar anschließenden an einen Schaufelrand angrenzenden Schaufelrandabschnitt aufweist. Die mindestens eine Lüfterradschaufel weist über eine Radialerstreckung des Schaufelrandabschnitts einen lokalen Vorsprung auf, welcher in Verlängerung der Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel ausgebildet ist und die Lüfterradschaufel im Schaufelrandabschnitt lokal vergrößert. Der Schaufelrandabschnitt ist somit von dem Innenabschnitt abgegrenzt und dadurch definiert, dass stets der Vorsprung vorgesehen ist. Ferner ist erfindungswesentlich, dass ein mittlerer Anstellwinkel der Lüfterradschaufel, insbesondere im Schaufelrandabschnitt, gegenüber einer Rotationsebene des Lüfterrads größer ist als ein mittlerer Anstellwinkel des Vorsprungs gegenüber der Rotationsebene.According to the invention, a fan wheel of an axial fan with several fan wheel blades arranged around an axis of rotation in a blade ring is proposed, in which at least one of the fan wheel blades has a radially inner section and a blade edge section directly adjoining the inner section and adjoining a blade edge. The at least one fan wheel blade has a local projection over a radial extent of the blade edge section, which is formed as an extension of the chord length of the fan wheel blade and locally enlarges the fan wheel blade in the blade edge section. The blade edge section is thus delimited from the inner section and defined in that the projection is always provided. It is also essential to the invention that a mean angle of attack of the fan wheel blade, in particular in the blade edge section, with respect to a plane of rotation of the fan wheel is greater than a mean angle of attack of the projection with respect to the plane of rotation.
Die Kombination der technischen Merkmale, im Schaufelrandabschnitt den Vorsprung mit vergrößerter Sehnenlänge vorzusehen und gleichzeitig den Anstellwinkel des Vorsprungs gegenüber der Rotationsachse gegenüber der übrigen Lüfterradschaufel zu reduzieren verringert die Ablöseneigung der Strömung am Lüfterrad und mithin die als besonders unangenehm empfundenen Drehtöne.The combination of the technical features of providing the projection with an increased chord length in the blade edge section and at the same time reducing the angle of attack of the projection with respect to the axis of rotation with respect to the rest of the fan impeller reduces the tendency of the flow to detach on the fan impeller and therefore the particularly uncomfortable turning sounds.
Bei dem Lüfterrad sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsvariante vor, dass der mittlere Anstellwinkel des Vorsprungs gegenüber der Rotationsebene des Lüfterrads einen Wert zwischen 1-15°, weiter bevorzugt zwischen 3-10° aufweist. Der Anstellwinkel des Vorsprungs ist dabei stets kleiner als derjenige der Lüfterradschaufel im Bereich außerhalb des Vorsprungs.In the case of the fan wheel, a preferred embodiment variant provides that the mean angle of attack of the projection with respect to the plane of rotation of the fan wheel has a value between 1-15 °, more preferably between 3-10 °. The angle of attack of the projection is always smaller than that of the fan impeller blade in the area outside the projection.
Viele Lüfterräder von Axialventilatoren verwenden einen die Laufradschaufeln radial außenseitig umspannenden Ring, der häufig als Schleuderring bezeichnet wird. Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung des Lüfterrad der vorliegenden Offenbarung ist jedoch speziell darauf gerichtet, dass die Lüfterradschaufeln an ihren jeweiligen radialen Schaufelrändern frei enden und verbindungsfrei sind, d.h. dass kein Ring oder dergleichen die Laufradschaufeln verbindet. Durch das freie Ende sind die radial außen liegenden Schaufelränder der Laufradschaufeln strömungstechnisch unbeeinflusst, so dass die Wirkung des Vorsprungs günstig zur Geltung kommt.Many fan impellers of axial fans use a ring that surrounds the impeller blades radially on the outside, which is often referred to as a centrifugal ring. However, an advantageous embodiment of the fan wheel of the present disclosure is specifically directed to the fan wheel blades ending freely at their respective radial blade edges and being free from connection, i. that no ring or the like connects the impeller blades. As a result of the free end, the radially outer blade edges of the impeller blades are not influenced in terms of flow, so that the effect of the projection is beneficial.
Ferner ist bei dem Lüfterrad vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass der an den Schaufelrand angrenzende Schaufelrandabschnitt der mindestens einen Lüfterradschaufel in einem radialen Außenbereich der Lüfterradschaufel bestimmt ist. Die Größe dieses radialen Außenbereichs und damit die Radialerstreckung des Vorsprungs wird durch das Verhältnis des Radius LS der Lüfterradschaufel bis zum Schaufelrandabschnitt zu dem maximalen Radius der Lüfterradschaufel LD derart definiert, dass gilt 0,7≤LS/LD≤1, vorzugsweise 0,85≤LS/LD≤0,95.Furthermore, it is preferably provided in the case of the fan wheel that the blade edge section of the at least one fan wheel blade adjoining the blade edge is determined in a radial outer region of the fan wheel blade. The size of this radial outer area and thus the radial extent of the projection is defined by the ratio of the radius LS of the fan wheel blade up to the blade edge section to the maximum radius of the fan wheel blade LD such that 0.7 LS /
Hinsichtlich der Erstreckung des Vorsprungs in Umfangsrichtung in der Rotationsebene des Lüfterrads ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass durch den Vorsprung die Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Rotationsachse lokal gegenüber dem Innenabschnitt derart vergrößert ist, dass gilt 1,05≤L1/L2≤1,4, weiter bevorzugt 1,1≤L1/L2≤1,3, wobei L1 die maximale Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel im Schaufelrandabschnitt und L2 die Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel an der Grenze zwischen dem Innenabschnitt und dem Schaufelrandabschnitt, jeweils gemessen an dem radial außen liegenden Schaufelrand der Lüfterradschaufel, sind.With regard to the extent of the projection in the circumferential direction in the plane of rotation of the fan wheel, it is preferably provided that the chord length of the fan wheel blade in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation is locally increased relative to the inner section such that 1.05 L1 /
Die Lüfterradschaufeln weisen jeweils eine Schaufelvorderkante und eine Schaufelhinterkante auf. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Wirkung zur Geräuschreduzierung wird erzielt, wenn der Vorsprung an der Schaufelvorderkante ausgebildet ist. Die Schaufelhinterkante wiederum weist in einer günstigen Ausführung einen konvex gerundeten, bogenförmigen Verlauf auf. Auch die Schaufelvorderkante ist vorzugsweise bogenförmig gekrümmt, jedoch mit einem größeren, insbesondere um ein Vielfaches größeren Radius als die Schaufelhinterkante.The fan impeller blades each have a leading edge and a trailing edge. A particularly advantageous effect for noise reduction is achieved if the projection is formed on the blade leading edge. The blade trailing edge, in turn, has a convexly rounded, arched course in a favorable embodiment. The blade leading edge is also preferably curved in an arc shape, but with a larger, in particular many times larger, radius than the blade trailing edge.
Zudem ist eine Ausführungsvariante des Lüfterrad vorteilhaft, bei welcher der Vorsprung einstückig mit der Lüfterradschaufel ausgebildet ist. Das Lüfterrad ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt, so dass alle technischen die Strömung beeinflussenden Merkmale in den Lüfterradschaufeln integral ausgebildet sind.In addition, an embodiment of the fan wheel is advantageous in which the projection is formed in one piece with the fan wheel blade. The fan wheel is preferably made of plastic, so that all technical features influencing the flow are integrally formed in the fan wheel blades.
Eine Weiterbildung des Lüfterrads ist ferner dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Vorsprung eine in Umfangsrichtung weisende Spitze aufweist. Die Spitze ist vorzugsweise gegenüber einem maximalen Außenradius der Lüfterradschaufel nach radial innen beabstandet ist. Das bedeutet, dass der Vorsprung radial nach innen eingezogen ausgebildet ist, die Spitze jedoch vorzugsweise im Betrieb einen gedachten Kreis bestimmt, der gegenüber dem Außenradius des Lüfterrads beabstandet ist.A further development of the fan wheel is further characterized in that the projection has a tip pointing in the circumferential direction. The tip is preferably spaced radially inward relative to a maximum outer radius of the fan wheel blade. This means that the projection is designed to be drawn in radially inward, but the tip preferably defines an imaginary circle during operation which is spaced apart from the outer radius of the fan wheel.
Ferner ist eine Ausführungsvariante des Lüfterrads vorteilhaft, bei der die Spitze des Vorsprungs im Schaufelrandabschnitt außermittig nach radial außen versetzt ist. In anderen Worten wird der Vorsprung derart ausgebildet, dass seine in Umfangsrichtung weisende Spitze näher am Außenradius der als an dem Innenabschnitt der Lüfterradschaufel liegt.Furthermore, an embodiment variant of the fan wheel is advantageous in which the tip of the projection in the blade edge section is offset radially outwards off-center. In other words, the projection is formed in such a way that its tip pointing in the circumferential direction is closer to the outer radius than to the inner section of the fan wheel blade.
Strömungstechnisch vorteilhaft und geräuschreduzierend wirkt sich bei dem Lüfterrad ferner eine Ausgestaltung der Laufradschaufeln aus, bei der die Spitze des Vorsprungs jeweils abgerundet ausgebildet ist.A configuration of the impeller blades in which the tip of the projection is rounded off also has a flow-technical and noise-reducing effect on the fan wheel.
Weitere günstige Ausführungsformen des Lüfterrads sehen vor, dass die Lüfterradschaufeln jeweils an ihrem radial äußeren Schaufelrand ein Winglet aufweisen. Als Winglet ist eine Ausbildung an der Lüfterradschaufel definiert, bei der radial endseitig an der Lüfterradschaufel eine Verdickung oder Rundung von der Unterseite zur Oberseite vorgesehen ist. Optional können zudem jeweils am radial äußeren Schaufelrand Bürsten vorgesehen werden.Further favorable embodiments of the fan wheel provide that the fan wheel blades each have a winglet on their radially outer blade edge. A winglet is defined as a design on the fan wheel blade in which a thickening or rounding from the bottom to the top is provided on the radial end of the fan wheel blade. Optionally, brushes can also be provided on the radially outer edge of the blade.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weisen die Lüfterradschaufeln zumindest entlang des Vorsprungs eine geringere mittlere Schaufeldicke auf als im übrigen Bereich der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel.In a further embodiment, the fan wheel blades, at least along the projection, have a smaller average blade thickness than in the remaining area of the respective fan wheel blade.
Die Lüfterradschaufeln sind vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass sie jeweils einen radialen Mittelbereich um ihre radiale Mitte bestimmen, in dem die Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel ein Maximum aufweist. Der Mittelbereich erstreckt sich dabei vorzugsweise bis zu 30% der radialen Maximalerstreckung der Lüfterradschaufel um ihre die radiale Mitte.The fan wheel blades are preferably designed in such a way that they each define a radial central region around their radial center, in which the chord length of the fan wheel blade has a maximum. The central area extends preferably up to 30% of the radial maximum extent of the fan wheel blade around its radial center.
Ferner ist eine Ausführung des Lüfterrads bevorzugt, bei der alle Lüfterradschaufeln identisch ausgebildet sind.Furthermore, an embodiment of the fan wheel is preferred in which all fan wheel blades are of identical design.
Die Offenbarung umfasst ferner einen Axialventilator mit einem vorstehend beschriebenen Lüfterrad.The disclosure further includes an axial fan with a fan wheel described above.

Die
Jede Lüfterradschaufel 2 weist eine Schaufelhinterkante 8, eine Schaufelvorderkante 9 und einen radialen Schaufelrand 5 auf, der frei endet. Die einzelnen Lüfterradschaufeln 2 sind ausschließlich über die Nabe 17 verbunden. Die Schaufelvorderkanten 8 sind konvex in Umfangsrichtung vorstehend gerundet und bestimmen jeweils einen bogenförmigen Verlauf, die Schaufelvorderkanten 9 erstrecken sich ausgehend von der Nabe 17 im Wesentlichen geradlinig nach radial außen. Wie in
Die Lüfterradschaufeln 2 weisen jeweils einen radial innen liegenden Innenabschnitt 3 und einen sich in radialer Richtung gesehen an den Innenabschnitt 3 unmittelbar anschließenden Schaufelrandabschnitt 4 auf, der sich bis an den jeweiligen Schaufelrand 5 erstreckt. Als Grenze 13 zwischen dem Innenabschnitts 3 und dem Schaufelrandabschnitt 4 ist in
Bezugnehmend auf
In der gezeigten Ausführung ist der Vorsprung 6 einstückig an der Lüfterradschaufel 2 ausgebildet, gleichwohl kann seine Erstreckung und die dadurch bedingte Sehnenverlängerung eindeutig über die sprunghafte Verlaufsveränderung der Schaufelvorderkante 9 bestimmt und abgegrenzt werden. Alternative Ausführungen sehen vor, dass der Vorsprung als Anbauteil an der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel befestigt wird.In the embodiment shown, the
Der Vorsprung 6 im Schaufelrandabschnitt 4 nimmt eine Radialerstreckung ein, welche über das Verhältnis LS/LD bestimmt ist, das im gezeigten Fall bei 0,88 liegt. LS ist der Radius der Lüfterradschaufel 2 bis zum Schaufelrandabschnitt 4, LD der maximale Außenradius der Lüfterradschaufel 2. Das Verhältnis LS/LD soll zwischen 0,7-1, insbesondere zwischen 0,85-0,98 liegen.The
Die Größe des Vorsprungs 6 in Umfangsrichtung wird über die unterschiedliche Sehnenlänge festgelegt. Die Sehnenlänge der Lüfterradschaufel 2 wird durch den Vorsprung 6 in Richtung senkrecht zur Rotationsachse RA derart vergrößert, dass das Verhältnis der maximalen Sehnenlänge L1 der Lüfterradschaufel 2 inklusive des Vorsprungs 6 zur Sehnenlänge L2 der Lüfterradschaufel 2 ohne den Vorsprung 6 bei 1,2 liegt. Das Verhältnis soll zwischen 1,05-1,3, insbesondere zwischen 1,1-1,2 festgelegt werden. Ferner kann die Schaufeldicke des Vorsprungs 6 optional größer als die Schaufeldicke des übrigen Lüfterrads 2 sein, wie in
