FIGS. 4A-4B are a perspective view and a longitudinal sectional view of a main plate according to one embodiment. Referring toFIGS. 4A-4B , themain plate 3 according to one embodiment includes aboss portion 33 connected to the rotational shaft; and the mountingportion 31 connected to theboss portion 33, the plurality ofblades 7 being erected from the mounting portion and therim portion 10 being placed around the mounting portion. Theboss portion 33 protrudes toward thesuction opening 5 a. - The mounting
portion 31 is connected to the plurality ofblades 7. Upper ends of the plurality ofblades 7 are connected to theshroud 5 and lower ends of the plurality ofblades 7 are connected to themain plate 3. Theboss portion 33 is connected to the rotational shaft. Theboss portion 33 may protrude toward the motor, or may protrude toward theshroud 5. The mountingportion 31 may be a flat portion. An outer end of the mountingportion 31 may be connected to therim portion 10. More specifically, the mainplate rim portion 13 may be placed at an outer end of the mountingportion 31. The mainplate rim portion 13 may protrude in a direction opposite to theboss portion 33. Theshroud rim portion 11 may protrude in the same direction as theboss portion 33. - Operation of the
centrifugal fan 1 according to embodiments having the above-described configuration will be described below. - The
rim portion 10 may be formed by bending a rim of the shroud and/or the main plate. As the rim portion serves to increase rigidity of the shroud and the main plate, the centrifugal fan may be thinner than the conventionalcentrifugal fan 40. In addition, referring toFIG. 1 , although a thickness of theconventional shroud 45 is 2.5 mm and a thickness of the conventionalmain plate 43 is 4.5 mm, according to one embodiment, thicknesses of theshroud 5 and themain plate 3 may be reduced to 1.6 mm, which results in considerable weight reduction. Accordingly, reduction of material costs and reduction of power consumption due to reduced shaft power are possible. - Meanwhile, the
rim portion 10 is formed by plastic working, and thus, has a higher dimensional accuracy than casting. In addition, through improvement in the crystalline structure of a metal, stronger properties than that in casting and cutting processes may be accomplished and higher productivity may be accomplished via mass production of uniform products. In addition, there occurs no generation of chips, differently from cutting, and almost the entire material may be used. In addition, as therim portion 10 is integrally formed with theshroud 5 and/or themain plate 3 without welding, a clean curved surface may be acquired, which causes reduced flow resistance, resulting in smooth airflow and less flow separation. -
FIGS. 5A-5B are a graph showing performance of the centrifugal fan according to one embodiment and performance of a centrifugal fan according to the related art. InFIGS. 5A-5B , a solid line represents performance of the centrifugal fan according to the embodiment and a dotted line represents performance of the centrifugal fan according to the related art. InFIG. 5A showing a static pressure curve, the abscissa represents air volume Q and the ordinate represents static pressure Ps. InFIG. 5B showing an efficiency curve, the abscissa represents air volume Q and the ordinate represents efficiency (%). The efficiency of the centrifugal fan may be calculated by (Air Volume (m3/min)×Static Pressure (mmAq)/(6120×shaft power (kW))×100%. - Referring to
FIGS. 5A-5B , thecentrifugal fan 1 according to the embodiment has a maximum efficiency of about 79%, the air volume corresponding to the efficiency is about 180 cmm, and the static pressure corresponding to the air volume of 180 cmm is about 120 mmAq. On the other hand, the centrifugal fan according to the related art has a maximum efficiency of about 75%, the air volume corresponding to the efficiency is about 140 cmm, and the static pressure corresponding to the air volume of 140 cmm is about 130 mmAq. - Accordingly, according embodiments, the air volume may be increased by about 30% than that in the related art and the static pressure at the maximum efficiency point may be reduced by about 7% than that in the related art. In addition, since generation of noise is minimized near the maximum efficiency point, the
centrifugal fan 1 of the present invention causes less noise than that of the related art based on the same air volume. - Although the exemplary embodiments have been illustrated and described, embodiments are not limited to the above-described particular embodiments, various modifications are possible by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit as disclosed in the accompanying claims and these modifications should not be understood separately from the scope and spirit.
