Definitions

  • the invention pertains to an axial fan for a radiator of an internal combustion engine, particularly of a motor vehicle, with a rotatably driven hub and with fan blades that are fixed to said hub, wherein these fan blades are limited radially inward by an inside diameter and radially outward by an outside diameter.
  • a fan of this type has the function of providing a sufficient quantity of cooling air in instances in which the wind does not suffice, for example, while driving slowly or when the motor vehicle is not moving.
  • the required volumetric displacement of the fan varies significantly depending on the operating state of the vehicle. At slow speeds, the pressure buildup required for conveying the cooling air flow is made available by the fan. At high speeds, the fan impairs the air flow due to the increased dynamic pressure.
  • the invention is based on the objective of developing an axial fan for a radiator of an internal combustion engine, particularly of a motor vehicle, which features a rotatably driven hub and fan blades that are fixed to said hub, wherein these fan blades are limited radially inward by an inside diameter and radially outward by an outside diameter, and wherein this axial fan has a compact design and is realized such that it generates a high mass flow with high pressure during the operation of the fan.
  • an axial fan for a radiator of an internal combustion engine particularly of a motor vehicle, in which a rotatably driven hub is provided with fan blades that are fixed to said hub such that the fan blades are limited radially inward by an inside diameter and radially outward by an outside diameter
  • this objective is attained in that the ratio of the inside diameter to the outside diameter is greater than 40 percent.
  • the dimensions of the air passage area enclosed between the inside diameter and the outside diameter are adapted to the size of the radiator in conventional fans for cooling an internal combustion engine so as to also ensure a sufficiently large air passage area when driving fast and when the fan is switched off.
  • the fan is realized as small as possible such that a louver that releases an additional air passage area while driving fast can be realized as large as possible.
  • the ratio of the inside diameter to the outside diameter of the fan passage area is referred to as the hub ratio. Due to the hub ratio of the invention, an axial fan with a high power density is created.
  • One preferred embodiment of the axial fan is characterized in that the ratio of the fan blade areas that are projected on the fan passage area by the fan blades to the annular fan passage area is greater than 60 percent.
  • the ratio of the fan blade areas that are projected on the fan passage area by the fan blades to the annular fan passage area is also referred to as the cover ratio.
  • the cover ratio of the invention ensures that the fan generates a sufficient air flow at normal speeds.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the axial fan is characterized in that the fan blades are realized in a crescent-shaped fashion in a direction extending opposite to the air flow direction.
  • the crescent-shaped design of the fan blades has proven particularly advantageous within the scope of the present invention.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the axial fan is characterized in that the front edge of the fan blades is parabolic in shape.
  • the parabolic design of the front edges of the fan blades has proven particularly advantageous within the scope of the present invention.
