    摘要: A temperature destratification assembly can include an outer housing. An impeller can be positioned within the outer housing between the inlet and outlet of the outer housing. The impeller can have an impeller hub and a plurality of impeller blades extending radially outward from the impeller hub. The assembly can include an impeller motor configured to rotate the impeller blades about an axis of rotation. A stator can be positioned within the outer housing between the impeller and the outlet of the outer housing. The stator can include a plurality of vanes. The stator vanes can include an upstream edge at the upstream end of the stator, a first surface extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of the vane, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of vane. A plurality of the vanes can have a downstream edge at the outlet of the outer housing.

    摘要: A fan assembly includes a shrouded fan rotor (18) having a plurality of fan blades (22) extending from a rotor hub (24) and rotatable about a central axis (20) of the fan assembly and a fan shroud (26) extending circumferentially around the fan rotor (18) and secured to an outer tip diameter of the plurality of fan blades (22). A stator assembly (28) is located downstream of the fan rotor (18), relative to an airflow (14) direction through the fan assembly. The stator assembly (28) includes a plurality of stator vanes (30) extending between a stator hub (32) and a stator shroud (34). A flow control ring (36) is positioned between the fan rotor (18) and the stator assembly (28) to block radial flow migration in an axial spacing between the fan rotor and the stator assembly resulting from a radial flow component of an airflow (14) exiting the fan rotor (18).

    摘要: An electric propulsion assembly for an aircraft includes a nacelle having a nacelle cowl which defines an inner space for arranging an electric propulsion unit, which includes a blower, of the aircraft. An electric motor assembly is placed in the inner space and connected to the propulsion unit to supply power to the propulsion unit. An airflow generated by the blower flows in a space between the motor assembly and the nacelle cowl defining a duct to supply thrust to the aircraft. A power electronics system has at least one heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy from the system to a work fluid to cool the system. The heat exchanger is placed to project at least partially into the duct, so that the work fluid consists of the air flow generated by the blower.
