OUTDOOR UNIT FOR AIR CONDITIONER, AND AIR CONDITIONER

An outdoor unit for an air conditioner, and an air conditioner are provided. The outdoor unit has a housing and a draught fan. The housing is provided with a first air exchange port and a second air exchange port. The draught fan is arranged in the housing and located between the first air exchange port and the second air exchange port. The draught fan has an electric motor, a first fan, and a second fan. The electric motor has two rotors which rotate independently of each other, and a first output shaft and a second output shaft connected to the two rotors respectively. The first output shaft and the second output shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the first fan and the second fan for driving the first fan and the second fan to rotate independently of each other.

AIR CLEANING ARRANGEMENT FOR A WORK VEHICLE

An air cleaning element comprises a generally rectangular frame comprising a first two opposing sides and a second two opposing sides; a plurality of rods supported on and extending between the first two opposing sides, wherein each rod is offset from its two adjacent rods; and a wire mesh sheet that is generally rectangular and corrugated around the plurality of rods. The sheet extends to and between the two opposing sides.

Variable pitch fan control system

A fan control system for a variable pitch fan of a work vehicle includes a first sensor that measures a parameter of a cooling system and a blade pitch module that adjust a pitch of a plurality of blades of the variable pitch fan to generate airflow in a first direction. A reversing module selectively commands a fan reversal that includes instructing the blade pitch module to temporarily adjust the pitch of the plurality of blades to generate airflow in a second direction. A first timer module, in response to the reversing module commanding the fan reversal, resets and increments a first timer and compares the first timer to a first threshold. A first reversal prevention module, in response to the first timer being less than the first threshold, prevents the reversing module from commanding a fan reversal by indicating that a first type of fan reversal is not permitted.

THRUST GENERATING APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ATTITUDE OF MOVABLE BODY
20170276139 · 2017-09-28 · ·

A thrust generating apparatus for controlling an attitude of a movable body includes an outer shell body, a first inner shell body and a second inner shell body, a first fan rotating body and a second fan rotating body, an intermediate shell body, and a driving unit. A outer surface of the intermediate shell body has a shape such that an air flow sent from an opening end inside of any one of the first inner shell body and the second inner shell body is accommodated and flowed out to an outer flow path . When the first fan rotating body is rotated, the air flow suctioned from the outside in the axial direction of the first inner shell body passes through the outer flow path defined by the second inner shell body to be jetted from a second opening end of the outer shell body.

CEILING FAN AND FAN SET
