Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1158177A1] The fan for mounting in a cooling tunnel includes a pair of funnels (1) fixed on one surface of a support disc (2) which is mounted to rotate about a vertical axis (XX). The funnels have their wide inlet openings (4) arranged radially so that a current of air which enters the funnels is accelerated and driven out through the small output openings (5). The fan for mounting in a cooling tunnel includes a pair of funnels (1) fixed on one surface of a support disc (2) which is mounted to rotate about a vertical axis (XX). This disc is associated with a hub (3) and drive mechanism. The funnels have their wide inlet openings (4) arranged radially so that a current of air which enters the funnels is accelerated and driven out through the small output openings (5). The current from the output openings is directed downwards. The speed of rotation is chosen to ensure a high degree of thermal transfer as products move underneath them in the tunnel.
