Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0606108A1] A bi-directional axial-flow blower which requires no complex mechanism such as a rotor-reversing mechanism and employs a proper shape of rotor to enables air-blowing operation with high efficiency and low noise both in the forward and reverse directions. The bi-directional axial-flow blower for selectively sending a wind either in forward direction or in a reverse direction, comprises a cylindrical casing (3), an impeller (16) having airfoil blade rotors with camber provided in the casing (3), a drive motor (15) for driving the impeller (16) and wind-direction selecting means (19) for driving the casing (3) to rotate so that an inlet (3a) and an outlet (3b) of the wind path is reversed in accordance with the desired wind direction. <IMAGE>
