Abstract (en)

[origin: US7179050B2] The invention relates to a radial fan with a casing and in it an axially placed wheel, wherein the casing has an axially placed air inlet, an exhaust ( 5 ), a bottom section ( 6 ) with a bottom reference surface ( 7 ) arranged orthogonally to the axis and a spirally shaped compression space located radially around the wheel that extends to the exhaust port; and wherein the wheel has a cover disk that faces the air inlet port and a supporting disk; wherein the radial fan is characterized in that the spiral-shaped compression space ( 8 ) expands both in a radial direction from the axis towards the exhaust port ( 6 ) as well as in an axial direction; wherein the axial expansion extends over at least 180° of the spiral circumference; and in which a hollow cylindrical cup-shaped section ( 9 ) is recessed in the bottom section ( 6 ) in an axial direction beyond the bottom reference surface ( 7 ) into which the wheel is placed in such a way that an inside of the supporting disk of the wheel runs flush with the bottom reference surface ( 7 ).
