Abstract
A centrifugal blower assembly includes a scroll wall and at least one sidewall. The scroll wall is coupled to the at least one sidewall such that the scroll wall and the at least one sidewall at least partially define a blower chamber. The centrifugal blower assembly also includes an air stream splitter coupled to the scroll wall. The air stream splitter includes a base member fixedly coupled to the scroll wall and positioned within the blower chamber and a spline member extending a varying distance from the scroll wall and perpendicularly from the base member. An outer surface of the airstream splitter contacts an inner surface of the scroll wall.
Claims22
A centrifugal blower assembly comprising:
- a scroll wall and at least one sidewall, said scroll wall coupled to said at least one sidewall such that said scroll wall and said at least one sidewall at least partially define a blower chamber;
- and
- an air stream splitter coupled to said scroll wall and positioned entirely within said blower chamber, said air stream splitter comprising:
- a base member fixedly coupled to said scroll wall and positioned within said blower chamber, wherein an outermost surface of said base member comprises an outermost surface of said air stream splitter;
- and
- a spline member extending a varying distance from said scroll wall and perpendicularly from said base member, wherein the outer surface of said airstream splitter contacts an inner surface of said scroll wall.
A centrifugal blower assembly comprising:
- a scroll wall at least partially defining a blower chamber;
- a base member fixedly coupled to said scroll wall such that said base member is positioned within said blower chamber, and is oriented parallel to said scroll wall, said base member comprising a curved plate having a constant thickness between a pair of opposing sides of said base member, wherein an outermost surface of said curved plate comprises an outermost surface of said base member;
- and
- a spline member oriented perpendicular to said curved plate and said scroll wall.
A centrifugal blower assembly comprising:
- a scroll wall and at least one sidewall, said scroll wall extending from said at least one sidewall such that said scroll wall and said at least one sidewall at least partially define a blower chamber and a blower outlet, wherein said scroll wall is oriented perpendicular to said at least one sidewall;
- and
- an air stream splitter coupled to said scroll wall, said air stream splitter comprising:
- a base member fixedly coupled to said scroll wall and positioned within said blower chamber, said base member comprising a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, and a first surface, wherein said first surface contacts said scroll wall and is curved between said first end and said second end and is planar between said first side and said second side;
- and
- a spline member extending a varying distance from said base member.
