Fan housing for a compressor installation

A fan housing comprising a radial fan, configured to house a radial fan for drawing in cooling air from an air-cooled compressor installation, the fan housing comprising a fan inlet connectable to a cooler of the compressor installation, and a cooling air outlet, the fan inlet and the cooling air outlet respectively being located in a first plane respectively second plane of the housing, the first plane being parallel and opposite to the second plane, wherein the axis of rotation of the radial fan when housed at the fan inlet extends at an angle between 0° and 45° relative to a direction perpendicular to the first plane, and further the edge of the cooling air outlet does not intersect with the geometric extension of an outer shell along the axis of rotation of the radial fan to the second plane, the geometric extension of the axis of rotation of the radial fan passes through the fan inlet, wherein the fan housing is provided on its inside with sound-absorbing material.

A fan housing according to claim 1, wherein the sound-absorbing material is manufactured from polyurethane foam, melamine foam, viscoelastic foam, rock wool, glass wool or an acoustic cloth.

A fan housing according to claim 1, wherein a number of baffles and/or baffle plates is arranged in the flow path of the air stream between the fan and cooling air outlet.

A fan housing according to claim 1, wherein the fan housing is provided with a removable wall.

A fan housing according to claim 1, wherein the geometric extension of the axis of rotation of the radial fan when housed passes through the fan inlet.
