IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18504358 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a specific distance relationship between a fan and an area of a belt in relation to the fan's air discharge and intake directions.
- The first distance between the fan and the belt area at the downstream side in the air discharge direction is equal to or greater than the second distance between the fan and the belt area at the upstream side in the air intake direction.
- Potential Applications:**
- Industrial ventilation systems - HVAC systems - Cooling systems for machinery
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensuring efficient air circulation - Preventing air turbulence - Optimizing fan performance
- Benefits:**
- Improved air flow efficiency - Reduced energy consumption - Enhanced equipment performance
- Potential Commercial Applications:**
- Manufacturing plants - Warehouses - Data centers
- Possible Prior Art:**
- Studies on fan placement in ventilation systems - Research on air flow dynamics in industrial settings
- Unanswered Questions
- How does this distance relationship impact the overall efficiency of the fan system?
The specific distance relationship between the fan and the belt area may have a direct impact on the efficiency of the fan system by optimizing air flow and reducing energy consumption.
- What are the potential challenges in implementing this distance relationship in existing fan systems?
Implementing this distance relationship in existing fan systems may pose challenges such as retrofitting equipment, adjusting fan placement, and ensuring compatibility with current setups.
Original Abstract Submitted
A distance between a fan and an area of a belt opposed to the fan at a downstream side in an air discharge direction of the fan is a first distance. A distance between the fan and an area of the belt opposed to the fan at an upstream side in an air intake direction of the fan is a second distance. The first distance is equal to or greater than the second distance.
