Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006210397A1] A fan has an air conveying conduit ( 16 ) and a fan wheel ( 22 ) arranged therein, which wheel is rotatable about a central axis ( 25 ) and is formed with a central hub ( 20; 120 ) having an outer periphery ( 27 ) on which fan blades ( 26 ) are mounted. These extend with their radially outer rims ( 40 ) as far as a surface ( 17 ) that is substantially coaxial with the central axis ( 25 ) and delimits the air conveying conduit ( 16 ) externally. The blades ( 26 ) have a profile similar to an airfoil profile. A flow element ( 42 ) is provided along the radial outer edge ( 40 ) of a fan blade and serves as an obstacle to a compensating flow proceeding around that radial outer edge ( 40 ) from the delivery side to the intake side, and likewise has, in cross section, an airfoil profile. Adjacent the front edge ( 28 ) and rear edge ( 36 ) of a blade ( 26 ), it has substantially the same outline as the adjacent part of the associated blade ( 26 ), and in a middle region ( 48 ) between the front and back edge is wider, by an approximately constant amount, than the adjacent part of the blade ( 26 ).
