An air-sending device includes a propeller fan, a bell mouth surrounding an outer periphery of the propeller fan, a fan grille disposed downstream of the bell mouth and including a plurality of first crosspieces. An edge of the air outlet of the bell mouth includes a varying portion whose distance from a rotation axis of the propeller fan varies. In a cross-section of any of the plurality of first crosspieces that is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the any of the plurality of first crosspieces, a virtual line segment connecting an upstream side end portion and a downstream side end portion is defined as a first virtual line segment. At the portions of the plurality of first crosspieces disposed on the inner circumference side of the varying portion, the angle between a virtual line segment parallel to the rotation axis and the first virtual line segment is changed.

A scroll for a blower assembly includes a motor-mount plate, and a housing configured to be coupled to the motor-mount plate to define an interior blower cavity. The housing comprises inner and outer walls defining a cavity configured to dampen noise and vibrations produced by the blower assembly during operation.

An airflow-generating device which can adjust an air chamber volume and a method applied thereto are provided. The device has a volume-adjustable air chamber and an airflow-generating unit. The volume-adjustable air chamber has an inlet structure, an outlet structure, and an adjustment unit. A deflector structure for adjusting pressure or direction of airflow is arranged in the outlet structure, and an air chamber space is formed between the inlet structure and the outlet structure. The adjustment unit is used to adjust an inlet-outlet distance between the inlet structure and the outlet structure for adjusting the volume of the air chamber. The airflow-generating unit is arranged in the volume-adjustable air chamber and used to generate the airflow introduced from the inlet structure into the air chamber space and exhausted from the outlet structure. The present disclosed example can increase the intensity or reduce the noise of the airflow.

A blower unit can include an outer housing, an inlet subassembly, a fan subassembly, an outlet subassembly, and a grommet. The outer housing can have an aperture extend along a first axis between first and second ends. The inlet subassembly can be received in the first end of the aperture. The fan subassembly can be received in the aperture adjacent to the inlet subassembly and include at least one wire. The outlet subassembly can be received in the second end. The grommet can be positioned between at least part of the second end and the outlet subassembly. The at least one wire can extend through the grommet. The grommet can seal against the at least one wire. The grommet can seal between the outer housing and the outlet subassembly.

A system includes an inlet duct disposed about an inlet axis, wherein the inlet duct is configured to direct an airflow along the inlet axis to a compressor inlet. The inlet includes an inlet heating system and a heating portion having a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the inlet axis. The inlet heating system includes a first conduit substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis that is configured to distribute a heated fluid directly to the airflow via a first set of openings of a first end zone of the first conduit and a second set of openings of a second zone of the first conduit. The first end zone is configured to receive the heated fluid from a heating source, the second zone is coupled to the first end zone, and the second zone is configured to receive the heated fluid from the first end zone.

In the application disclosed are a wind shroud, which is used in a fan with a movable impeller, and a fan with the same. The wind shroud is integrally formed and comprises a body configured to be internally hollowed in an axial direction of the body for receiving the movable impeller. The body comprises an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and the air inlet end has an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall spaced apart from each other to form a silencing cavity for buffering the vibration generated when the movable impeller is rotated, so as to reduce the noise of the fan. In a direction from the air inlet end to the air outlet end, a distance between the inner sidewall of the air inlet end and the outer sidewall of the air inlet end first gradually increases, and then gradually decreases. In the above manner, where the wind shroud of the present application is applied to a fan, the noise problem of the fan can be effectively addressed.

Disclosed are a centrifugal fan blade assembly and a centrifugal fan, comprising a plurality of blades, a blade leading edge of at least some of the blades being provided with an interference groove, the interference groove extending in a width direction of the blade. By providing the interference groove extending in the width direction of the blade on the blade leading edge, when the fan blade assembly is running, the interference groove changes noise frequency, thereby preventing the blade leading edge from producing a relatively large broadband noise after being impacted by a high speed air flow, thus effectively reducing noise.

A centrifugal fan includes a fan configured to be driven to rotate, and a scroll casing housing the fan. The scroll casing includes a peripheral wall having a volute shape having an inner end of a spiral thereof at a boundary with a tongue portion of the scroll casing. When a portion at the peripheral wall at which a distance between the peripheral wall and a rotation shaft of the fan is minimum is defined as a closest portion, the peripheral wall includes a narrowed portion at which the distance between the peripheral wall and the rotation shaft is reduced from the inner end toward the closest portion in a rotation direction of the fan, and an expanded portion that is formed between the narrowed portion and the closest portion and at which the distance between the peripheral wall and the rotation shaft is increased.

A fan wheel for a fan is equipped with at least two fan blades with a wavy design. A fan has at least one such fan wheel. A system has at least one fan with such a fan wheel.

A compressor, for use alone or as a component part of a turbocharger. The compressor comprises a compressor housing and a compressor wheel mounted in the compressor housing. An internal surface of the compressor housing defines an axial inlet. The axial inlet comprises an annular groove for reducing compressor noise.
