FAN ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018970 titled 'FAN ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fan assembly that improves the efficiency of air flow and reduces noise in centrifugal fans. The assembly includes modified blades and housing with curved walls to guide airflow along an efficient path, minimizing abrupt directional changes. It also incorporates a low-profile, energy-efficient motor positioned within the fan wheel, reducing the overall size of the assembly. The fan assembly can function as a standalone fan or be arranged in an array configuration to move large volumes of air.
- The fan assembly modifies blades and housing to enhance the efficiency of air flow.
- Curved walls in the housing guide the airflow along an efficient path, reducing abrupt directional changes.
- The modified design improves energy efficiency and reduces noise levels compared to conventional centrifugal fans.
- The fan assembly includes a low-profile, energy-efficient motor positioned within the fan wheel, reducing the overall size of the assembly.
- The fan assembly can be used as a standalone fan or arranged in an array configuration to effectively move large volumes of air.
Potential Applications:
- HVAC systems
- Industrial ventilation systems
- Cooling systems for electronic devices
- Automotive cooling systems
Problems Solved:
- Expansion losses and associated noises in centrifugal fans
- Inefficient air flow due to abrupt directional changes
- Large size of conventional centrifugal fan assemblies
Benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency
- Reduced noise levels
- Compact size
- Effective air movement
Original Abstract Submitted
a fan assembly configured to address expansion losses and associated noises in centrifugal fans modifies the blades and housing to enhance the efficiency of air flow. the fan assembly can include a centrifugal fan wheel and shaped housing incorporating curved walls that guide the airflow along an efficient path, minimizing abrupt directional changes and resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced noise levels compared to conventional housed centrifugal fans. additionally, fan assembly includes a low-profile, energy-efficient motor positioned within an interior region defined by the centrifugal fan wheel, reducing the overall size of the fan assembly. in embodiments, the fan assemblies can function as standalone fans or be arranged in an array configuration to effectively move large volumes of air.
