A cooling fan is disclosed. The cooling fan comprises fan blades having a primary blade component and a secondary blade component. The primary blade component produces an axial airflow. The secondary blades produce a radial airflow. The axial airflow and the radial airflow, respectively created by the primary blades and the secondary blades, combine to provide an increase axial outflow. The primary and secondary blades combine the axial and radial flows respectively created by the blades to produce an increased outflow. The design has been observed to reduce tonal noise as well.

In accordance with at least some embodiments, a computer system includes an enclosure (202) configured to hold at least one resource unit (204). The computer system also comprises a plurality of mixed-flow ducted fans units (400) selectively attached to the enclosure (202). Each mixed-flow ducted fan unit (400) comprises a duct (102) having an intake diameter, a bellmouth diameter, and an exhaust diameter. The bellmouth diameter is less than the intake diameter and the exhaust diameter.
摘要:
Disclosed is a compact and integrated fan, pump, and heat exchanger system where air-cooling is performed via the fan, liquid cooling is performed via a pump, and heat exchange fins in thermal contact with a fluid channel act as a heat exchanger. Heated fluid is carried inside the fluid channel, where heat therein is conducted to the fins. The air flows around the outside surfaces of the fins so that the heat transfers from the heated fluid into the air stream.

According to embodiments of the invention, an impeller includes a hub, and a plurality of radial blades for drawing the air inflow axially through the hub and delivering the drawn air radially towards the outside. A ring is attached to one or more tips of the plurality of radial blades to block a portion of the tip toward the inlet side of the impeller. The preferred blockage factor, which is the ratio of a height of the ring to a height of the tip, is approximately in a range between 30% and 40%. By blocking a portion of the tip toward the inlet side of the impeller, the low-momentum flow zone toward the inlet side of impeller is blocked, while the high-momentum flow zone toward the back side of impeller is enhanced. As such, the performance of the impeller is enhanced.
摘要:
A fan apparatus includes a ducted housing with an axis of rotation including a first section and a second section. The fan apparatus further includes a first plurality of vanes being radially coupled within the first section and a second plurality of vanes being radially coupled within the second section. Additionally, the fan apparatus includes an impeller with a plurality of blades rotatably disposed within the ducted housing between the first plurality of vanes and the second plurality of vanes for rotary motion about the axis of rotation. The first plurality of vanes are stationary in a first arrangement to guide an inflow of air towards the impeller. The plurality of blades are rotary in a second arrangement to have a rotational direction substantially opposite to the inflow of air guided by the first arrangement. The second plurality of vanes are stationary in a third arrangement to diffuse an outflow of air substantially along the axis of rotation.
摘要:
A fan blade is described having a substantially non-varying stagger angle along its radial length. In one embodiment, a fan blade has a substantially non-varying stagger angle and a substantially non-varying camber angle along its radial length. In another embodiment, each airfoil section of the blade has at least substantially the same stagger angle or substantially the same camber angle.
摘要:
A fluid delivery device for an electrochemical conversion assembly. In one embodiment, the electrochemical conversion assembly is a fuel cell system. The device includes one or more fluid-manipulating components combined into a housing to minimize weight, size and complexity. In one form, the device may include a compressor, heat exchanger and a water vapor transfer unit, at least the latter two of which are located within a chamber defined by the housing. A controller can be used to monitor and selectively vary the extent to which at least one of these components modifies properties a fluid (such as air) that can be used as a reactant in the electrochemical conversion assembly. In a particular form, the heat exchanger and water vapor transfer unit can cooperate to promote the hydration of the reactant.
