==PHOTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION CENTRIFUGAL FAN - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033396 titled 'PHOTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION CENTRIFUGAL FAN

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a centrifugal fan for HVACR systems. The fan includes a volute housing with an inner surface and a curved inlet shroud, defining an air outlet and an air inlet respectively. The fan also has an impeller with fan blades and a light source. Both the inner surface of the volute housing and the outer surface of the fan blades have a photocatalyst layer. The light source emits light on the photocatalyst layer.

* The centrifugal fan is designed for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
* It includes a volute housing with an inner surface and a curved inlet shroud.
* The volute housing defines an air outlet, while the curved inlet shroud defines an air inlet.
* The air inlet has a cross-sectional area that is perpendicular to the outlet airflow cross-sectional area.
* The fan also includes an impeller with multiple fan blades.
* The fan blades have an outer surface.
* The centrifugal fan further includes a light source.
* Both the inner surface of the volute housing and the outer surface of the fan blades have a photocatalyst layer.
* The light source emits light on the photocatalyst layer.

== Potential Applications ==
* Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems
* Industrial ventilation systems
* Commercial buildings
* Residential buildings

== Problems Solved ==
* Improved air quality by incorporating a photocatalyst layer on the inner surface of the volute housing and the outer surface of the fan blades.
* Enhancing the efficiency of HVACR systems by providing a centrifugal fan with optimized airflow design.

== Benefits ==
* Improved air purification by utilizing the photocatalyst layer to eliminate pollutants and odors.
* Increased energy efficiency due to the optimized airflow design.
* Enhanced performance and longevity of HVACR systems.
* Potential cost savings through improved energy efficiency.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a centrifugal fan for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (hvacr) system is disclosed. the centrifugal fan includes a volute housing having an inner surface and a curved inlet shroud. the volute housing defines an air outlet. the curved inlet shroud defines an air inlet. the air inlet has an inlet airflow cross-sectional area that lies substantially perpendicular to an outlet airflow cross-sectional area of the air outlet. the centrifugal fan also includes an impeller mounted for rotation about a rotational axis within the volute housing. the impeller has a plurality of fan blades. the plurality of fan blades has an outer surface. the centrifugal fan further includes a light source. the inner surface of the volute housing and the outer surface of the plurality of fan blades includes a photocatalyst layer. the light source is configured to emit light on the photocatalyst layer.
