Inlet nozzle for fans

Abstract

An inlet nozzle for fans has a securing part (1) and an annular wall (3) connected to it, on which at least one protruding pressure connection (18) is provided. In order to be able to provide the pressure connection (18) in a more simple and reliable manner and at low cost, it is formed as a single piece with the inlet nozzle. In this way, additional assembly steps for attaching the pressure connection (18) can be avoided. The pressure connection (18) is provided directly during the manufacturing of the inlet nozzle. This avoids manufacturing and assembly costs as well as possible rejects due to the assembly process. No assembly devices are required, which would lead to increased costs of manufacturing the inlet nozzle. Given that the pressure connection (18) is part of the inlet nozzle, no additional storage locations need to be provided for the pressure connections (18).
