More the motor-fan unit 1 provides a high airflow, plus we save in terms of electrical power.
- volute 3 makes it possible to reduce the necessary mechanical torque provided by the drive shaft 9a and / or the speed of rotation of said drive shaft 9a while ensuring identical airflow performance (that is to say for a pressure and a volume flow equivalent air). Thus, the electrical power needed to run the engine is reduced.
- the fan motor unit 1 is a motor-fan unit for heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning system for residential or industrial buildings.
- the development of the inner wall 30 is performed at a variable development angle.
- the electrical power to be supplied to the motor 9 is reduced to bring it into rotation, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of the engine, said efficiency of the motor being equal to the ratio of the mechanical power produced on the electric power used. This reduces the power consumption of the engine 9;
