Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Axialventilator mit einem Gehäuse und einem in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Lüfterrad zur Erzeugung eines Axialluftstromes durch das Gehäuse.The invention relates to an axial fan with a housing and a fan wheel arranged in the housing for generating an axial air flow through the housing.
Bei Axialventilatoren mit ringförmigen, das Lüfterrad umschließenden Gehäusen entstehen am Kopfspalt zwischen den Lüfterradschaufeln und der Gehäuseinnenwand Kopfspaltwirbel, die in Praxis zu einer erheblichen Geräuschentwicklung führen. Zu deren Reduzierung gibt es im Stand der Technik bereits mehrere Ansätze, die jedoch nicht für jeden Einsatz geeignet sind. Beispielsweise kann der Durchmesser des Axialventilators vergrößert werden. Dies ist jedoch kontraproduktiv hinsichtlich seines Wirkungsgrads und Windlastverhaltens. Alternativ gibt es die Möglichkeit, die Zuströmung oder Abströmung zu beeinflussen, jedoch sind hierfür zusätzliche Bauteile und meist ein erhöhter Bauraumbedarf nötig. Druckschriftlicher Stand der Technik ist in den Dokumenten
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Geräuschverhalten eines Axialventilators zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve the noise behavior of an axial fan.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the combination of features according to
Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Axialventilator mit einem Gehäuse und einem in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Lüfterrad zur Erzeugung eines Axialluftstromes durch das Gehäuse vorgeschlagen. Das Lüfterrad weist mehrere sich von einer Nabe nach radial außen bis zur jeweiligen Schaufelspitze erstreckende Lüfterradschaufeln auf, welche über einen Kopfspalt beabstandet zu einer Innenwand des Gehäuses verlaufen. Die Schaufelspitze ist die Erstreckung der Lüfterradschaufeln entlang der Innenwand des Gehäuses, das insbesondere als Gehäusering das Lüfterrad umgibt. Die Lüfterradschaufeln weisen entlang der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze Bohrungen auf.According to the invention, an axial fan with a housing and a fan wheel arranged in the housing is proposed for generating an axial air flow through the housing. The fan wheel has a plurality of fan wheel blades which extend radially outwards from a hub to the respective blade tip and which run at a distance from an inner wall of the housing via a head gap. The blade tip is the extension of the fan wheel blades along the inner wall of the housing, which surrounds the fan wheel in particular as a housing ring. The fan wheel blades have bores along the respective blade tip.
Die Bohrungen entlang der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze interagieren unmittelbar mit dem Kopfspaltwirbel und reduzieren die Geräuschemission des Lüfterrads im Betrieb. Insbesondere wird die Form und Ausbreitung des Strömungswirbels entlang der Schaufelspitzen der Lüfterradschaufeln günstig beeinflusst. Bei Axialventilatoren, die sich ausschließlich durch die Laufradschaufeln mit und ohne entlang der Schaufelspitze vorgesehene Bohrungen unterschieden, konnten bei Messungen Reduzierungen der Geräuschentwicklung von über 20% erreicht werden.The holes along the respective blade tip interact directly with the tip gap vortex and reduce the noise emissions of the fan wheel during operation. In particular, the shape and propagation of the flow vortex along the blade tips of the fan wheel blades is favorably influenced. In the case of axial fans, which only differ in the impeller blades with and without bores provided along the blade tips, reductions in noise development of more than 20% could be achieved in measurements.
Besonders vorteilhaft wirken die Bohrungen bei Axialventilatoren, bei denen die Lüfterradschaufeln einen sehr flachen Anstellwinkel gegenüber der senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung verlaufenden Axialebene aufweisen, der insbesondere im Bereich von 5-25°, vorzugsweise 10-20° liegt.The bores are particularly advantageous in axial fans in which the fan impeller blades have a very shallow angle of attack with respect to the axial plane perpendicular to the direction of flow, which is in particular in the range of 5-25°, preferably 10-20°.
Eine Weiterbildung des Axialventilators ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Bohrungen auf beiden axialen Seiten der Lüfterradschaufeln ausgebildet sind. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung sind die Bohrungen als Durchgangsbohrungen durch die Lüfterradschaufeln ausgebildet.A development of the axial fan is characterized in that the bores are formed on both axial sides of the fan wheel blades. In a preferred embodiment, the bores are designed as through bores through the fan wheel blades.
Erfindungsgemäß werden mehrere der Bohrungen je Lüfterradschaufel entlang der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze vorgesehen. Die Anzahl der Bohrungen beträgt vorzugsweise mindestens fünf, weiter bevorzugt mindestens sieben. Die Bohrungen verlaufen dabei entlang einer Linie parallel zur Schaufelspitze. Ihre Anordnung ist somit über den Verlauf der Schaufelspitze entlang des Kopfspalts gegenüber der Innenwand des Gehäuses festgelegt.According to the invention, several of the bores are provided for each fan wheel blade along the respective blade tip. The number of holes is preferably at least five, more preferably at least seven. The holes run along a line parallel to the blade tip. Their arrangement is thus defined by the course of the blade tip along the head gap in relation to the inner wall of the housing.
Als besonders günstig hat sich eine Ausführung der Bohrungen mit einem kreisförmigen Querschnitt erwiesen. Die Größe der Bohrungen wird über ihren Durchmesser bestimmt. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung des Axialventilators weisen die Bohrungen einen maximalen Durchmesser DBmax auf, der 0,7-1,5%, vorzugsweise 1% eines maximalen Lüfterraddurchmessers des Lüfterrads entspricht.An embodiment of the bores with a circular cross-section has proven to be particularly favorable. The size of the holes is determined by their diameter. In an advantageous embodiment of the axial fan, the bores have a maximum diameter DBmax, which corresponds to 0.7-1.5%, preferably 1%, of a maximum fan wheel diameter of the fan wheel.
Eine spezielle Anordnung der Bohrungen zueinander begünstigt die Geräuschreduzierung ebenfalls. Günstig ist eine Ausführungsvariante, bei der die Bohrungen zueinander einen Abstand A entlang der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze aufweisen, der dem doppelten maximalen Durchmesser DBmax der Bohrungen entspricht. Der Abstand A wird dabei jeweils am Mittelpunkt der jeweiligen Bohrung gemessen. Bezogen auf den maximalen Lüfterraddurchmesser D des Lüfterrads ist der Abstand A der Bohrungen entlang der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze zueinander dann vorteilhaft, wenn er 2% des maximalen Lüfterraddurchmessers D entspricht.A special arrangement of the holes in relation to each other also promotes noise reduction. An embodiment variant is advantageous in which the bores are at a distance A from one another along the respective blade tip, which corresponds to twice the maximum diameter DBmax of the bores. The distance A is measured at the center of the respective hole. In relation to the maximum fan wheel diameter D of the fan wheel, the distance A between the bores along the respective blade tip is advantageous if it corresponds to 2% of the maximum fan wheel diameter D.
Ferner ist vorteilhaft, dass die Bohrungen von der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel nach radial innen etwas beabstandet gleichwohl angrenzend sind, so dass die radial außen liegende Schaufelspitze der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel durchgängig und ununterbrochen verläuft. Eine bezüglich der Geräuscherzeugung vorteilhafte Ausführung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Bohrungen einen maximalen Durchmesser DBmax aufweisen und von der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze über eine radiale Länge LS beabstandet sind, so dass gilt: DBmax ≤ LS ≤ 2,5 x DBmax.It is also advantageous that the bores are spaced somewhat radially inward from the respective blade tip of the respective fan wheel blade but are nevertheless adjacent, so that the radially outer blade tip of the respective fan wheel blade runs continuously and uninterrupted. An embodiment that is advantageous in terms of noise generation is characterized in that the bores have a maximum diameter DBmax and are spaced apart from the respective blade tip over a radial length LS, so that: DBmax≦LS≦2.5×DBmax.
Besonders bevorzugt ist LS=1,5 x DBmax. In anderen Worten sind die Bohrungen vorzugsweise um den 1,5-fachen Bohrungsdurchmesser von der Schaufelspitze nach radial innen versetzt. Gemessen wird auch hier stets im Mittelpunkt der Bohrungen.LS=1.5×DBmax is particularly preferred. In other words, the bores are preferably offset radially inward from the blade tip by 1.5 times the bore diameter. Here, too, measurements are always taken in the center of the bores.
Bezogen auf den maximalen Lüfterraddurchmesser D des Lüfterrads entspricht die Länge LS, mit welcher die Bohrungen von der jeweiligen Schaufelspitze über beabstandet sind, vorzugsweise 1,5% des maximalen Lüfterraddurchmessers D des Lüfterrads.Based on the maximum fan wheel diameter D of the fan wheel, the length LS by which the bores are spaced apart from the respective blade tip corresponds to preferably 1.5% of the maximum fan wheel diameter D of the fan wheel.
Vorzugsweise sind alle Bohrungen des Lüfterrads bezüglich Form und Größe jeweils identisch ausgebildet.Preferably, all bores of the fan wheel are each identical in terms of shape and size.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante des Axialventilators ist vorgesehen, dass die Bohrungen über eine Erstreckung entlang der Schaufelspitze der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel angeordnet sind, welche 10-40% einer maximalen Erstreckung der Schaufelspitze entlang des Kopfspalts entspricht. Das bedeutet, dass es entlang der Schaufelspitze einen überwiegenden Abschnitt gibt, in dem keine Bohrungen vorgesehen sind, jedoch eine Mindestmenge und eine Mindesterstreckung nicht zu unterschreiten sind. Ferner ist günstig, die Bohrungen insbesondere in einem Bereich der Schaufelspitze anzuordnen, der an die jeweilige Schaufelvorderkante und/oder jeweilige Schaufelhinterkante angrenzt. Soweit die Lüfterradschaufeln im Übergangsbereich von der Schaufelspitze zur Schaufelvorderkante oder jeweilige Schaufelhinterkante radial eingezogen verlaufen und in diesem Abschnitt kein Kopfspalt zu dem Gehäuse mehr besteht, können Bohrungen gleichwohl auch in diesem Abschnitt entlang der Schaufelspitze vorgesehen werden.In an advantageous embodiment variant of the axial fan, it is provided that the bores are arranged over an extension along the blade tip of the respective fan wheel blade, which corresponds to 10-40% of a maximum extension of the blade tip along the head gap. This means that there is a predominant section along the blade tip in which no bores are provided, but in which a minimum quantity and a minimum extent must not be undershot. Furthermore, it is favorable to arrange the bores in particular in a region of the blade tip which adjoins the respective front edge and/or the respective rear edge of the blade. As far as the fan blades in the The transition area from the blade tip to the blade front edge or the respective blade rear edge is drawn in radially and there is no longer a head gap to the housing in this section, bores can nevertheless also be provided in this section along the blade tip.
Der Axialventilator sieht erfindungsgemäß vor, dass jede der Lüfterradschaufeln entlang der Schaufelspitze jeweils einen sich an eine radiale Mittellinie der Lüfterradschaufeln beidseitig angrenzenden Mittelabschnitt aufweist, der frei von Bohrungen ist. Die Bohrungen werden somit in einem Bereich der Vorderkante und Hinterkante der Lüfterradschaufeln vorgesehen. Der Mittelabschnitt bestimmt 20-90%, weiter bevorzugt 40-80% der maximalen Erstreckung der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufel in Umfangsrichtung.According to the invention, the axial fan provides that each of the fan wheel blades along the blade tip has a middle section which adjoins a radial center line of the fan wheel blades on both sides and is free of bores. The bores are thus provided in an area of the front edge and rear edge of the fan wheel blades. The middle section determines 20-90%, more preferably 40-80% of the maximum extent of the respective fan blade in the circumferential direction.
In einer Weiterbildung des Axialventilators sind die Bohrungen zusätzlich entlang der Vorderkante und der Hinterkante der Lüfterradschaufeln vorgesehen. Die Abstände zueinander bzw. zur Vorderkante und/oder einer Hinterkante entsprechen dabei vorzugsweise denjenigen der Bohrungen entlang der Schaufelspitze bzw. zu der Schaufelspitze.In a development of the axial fan, the bores are additionally provided along the front edge and the rear edge of the fan wheel blades. The distances from one another or from the front edge and/or a rear edge preferably correspond to those of the bores along the blade tip or from the blade tip.
Ferner ist eine Ausführung günstig, bei welcher bei dem Axialventilator die jeweilige Anzahl der Bohrungen zusätzlich entlang der Vorderkante und der Hinterkante der Lüfterradschaufeln kleiner oder gleich der Anzahl an Bohrungen entlang der Schaufelspitze ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Anzahl der Bohrungen an der Vorderkante und an der Hinterkante jeweils stets nicht größer ist, als die Anzahl der Bohrungen an der Schaufelspitze.Furthermore, an embodiment is favorable in which, in the case of the axial fan, the respective number of bores along the front edge and the rear edge of the fan wheel blades is less than or equal to the number of bores along the blade tip. This means that the number of holes on the leading edge and on the trailing edge is always no greater than the number of holes on the blade tip.
Der Axialventilator ist in einer Ausführung ferner dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Lüfterrad reversierbar ausgebildet und seine im Betrieb erzeugte Strömungsrichtung von seiner Rotationsrichtung abhängt. Dann werden die Bohrungen vorzugsweise sowohl an der Vorderkante als auch der Hinterkante sowie an beiden axialen Seiten der jeweiligen Lüfterradschaufeln vorgesehen.In one embodiment, the axial fan is further characterized in that the fan wheel is designed to be reversible and its direction of flow generated during operation depends on its direction of rotation. Then the holes are preferably both on the leading edge and the trailing edge and provided on both axial sides of the respective fan blades.
