A control system is provided to optimize a compressor that has a variable guide vane position and a variable speed set point. One or more controllers receive a process set point for a main process variable for a first performance control application and a deviation set point for a surge deviation level for a second performance control application. The first performance control application operates a first independent primary control loop to control the main process variable at the process set point by manipulating the variable guide vane position. The second performance control application operates a second independent primary control loop to control a surge deviation level at the deviation set point by manipulating the variable speed set point. The second performance control application also executes a limit control loop to limit the main process variable at a limit set point by manipulating the variable speed set point.

A fan shroud and a blower device are provided. The fan shroud includes a shroud wall surface and a plurality of ventilation openings. The shroud wall surface extends around a fan along a radial direction orthogonal to a rotation axis. The plurality of ventilation openings are formed through the shroud wall surface in a thickness direction of the shroud wall surface to allow passing of wind generated by a fan motor. A width of a wall surface side opening on a downstream side of the wind in the ventilation opening is smaller than a width of a lateral wall side opening on an upstream side of the wind in the ventilation opening.

The invention relates to a turbocompressor (1) comprising a compressor housing (2) and a compressor wheel (4) with blades (5). The compressor wheel (4) is rotatably mounted relative to the compressor housing (2) and is arranged such that the exposed upper edges of the blades (5) are spaced from a compressor housing (2) wall (3) facing the blade upper edges across a head gap (7), wherein both the upper edges of the blades (5) as well as the housing wall (3) have at least one recess (11, 13) and at least one elevation (10, 14) over the respective Meridian contour, said recess and elevation interacting locally such that the head gap (7) defines a Z-shaped course in the region of the recesses (11, 13) and the elevations (10, 14) when viewed on a Meridian plane.

An electric motor assembly includes an electric motor, a fan assembly coupled to the electric motor and configured to rotate therewith about an axis. The bower assembly also includes a shroud coupled to the electric motor and extending about the fan assembly. The shroud includes a central hub coupled to the electric motor, an inlet ring, and a plurality of arms extending between the central hub and the inlet ring. Each arm of the plurality of arms includes a curved radial portion extending from the central hub and a planar axial portion extending from the radial portion to the inlet ring.

An extractor fan assembly for an extractor of a sugarcane harvester comprises a motor, fan blades, and a clamshell hub. The motor comprises an output that rotates about an axis of rotation. The clamshell hub comprises a base and clamp jaws. The base is coupled to the output for rotation therewith about the axis of rotation. The clamp jaws are positioned angularly about the axis of rotation. Each clamp jaw is fastened to and cooperates with the base to clamp a respective fan blade of the fan blades therebetween to position the fan blades angularly about the axis of rotation.

A ceiling fan blade is provided. The ceiling fan blade is configured to be mounted on a rotating base, and includes a main body and a blade holder connected to the main body. The blade holder is configured to be mounted on the rotating base. The main body includes a windward part arranged adjacent to a side of the main body and a plurality of air guiding structures arranged adjacent to the windward part. Each of the air guiding structures and the side of the main body that is adjacent to the windward part is 0.2 to 0.4 times of a width of the main body.

A two-way flow control device including: a housing defining a first opening interface and a second opening interface, a rotor having a plurality of blades, each blade controllable to be angled in a range of positive and negative blade angles to generate respective positive and negative flows between the first opening interface and the second opening interface, first stator vanes mounted to the housing between the blades and the first opening interface, each including a respective stator vane slope having a stator vane angle which are collectively positive or negative angled; second stator vanes mounted to the housing between the blades and the second opening interface, each including a respective stator vane slope having a stator vane angle which are collectively opposite angled to the stator vane angles of the first stator vanes, the second stator vanes mounted to be circumferentially offset with respect to the first stator vanes.

A cooling system includes a fan and a system component. The fan includes a plurality of fan blades and configured to rotate in a fan direction. The system component is located downstream of the fan, and includes a cutout for passing of airflow from the fan, and a bridge spanning the cutout. The bridge includes a center section and at least one arm section extending from the center section to an edge of the cutout along a curved path offset towards the fan direction.

An assembly including a wearable blower having a fan, a motor, an air duct having a duct housing thereof, a handle attached to the duct housing, and a hanger disposed on the duct housing. The hanger has an attachment part attached to the duct housing and adjacent to the handle and a hanger part connected to the attachment part for holding an accessory attached to the blower. The hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a first hanging position whereat the hanger part is unfolded with an opening mouth for holding the accessory of the blower and the hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a second folded position. Thus, the arrangement of the hanger can help the user to hold the accessory of the blower at the work states.
