Abstract
Disclosed is an improved fan hub for a cooling tower having a first disc with radially extending spokes for reduced fan natural frequencies and an annular seal disc to cover an open area, including a V-shaped hollow space of a second disc, in order to avoid flow return. A cooling tower axial fan hub comprising of a first disc [9] configured to connect to a central boss [7], a second disc [11] bolted to said first disc through connecting elements of a plurality of fan blades, said connecting elements sandwiched between said first disc and said second disc and a seal disc [31] comprising an annular ring having an outer diameter and an inner diameter attached to said second disc to inhibit flow return, the said first disc comprising two concentric annular rings [21; 23] connected to one-another via a plurality of radially extending spokes, a central axis of each of said plurality of radially extending spokes [25] extending along a radius of said first disc, wherein said spokes define a plurality of hollow spaces [26] in said first disc, said two concentric annular rings comprising an annular outer ring and an annular inner ring, said annular inner ring configured to connect to said central boss whereas the said second disc comprising only an annular ring having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, said annular ring of said seal disc dimensioned to cover an open area between said second disc annular ring inner diameter and said central boss.
Claims (6)
1. A cooling tower axial fan hub comprising: a first disc configured to connect to a central boss; a second disc bolted to said first disc through connecting elements of a plurality of fan blades, said connecting elements sandwiched between said first disc and said second disc; a seal disc comprising an annular ring having an outer diameter and an inner diameter attached to said second disc to inhibit flow return; said first disc comprising two concentric annular rings connected to one-another via a plurality of radially extending spokes, a central axis of each of said plurality of radially extending spokes extending along a radius of said first disc, wherein said spokes define a plurality of hollow spaces in said first disc, said two concentric annular rings comprising an annular outer ring and an annular inner ring, said annular inner ring configured to connect to said central boss; said second disc comprising only an annular ring having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, said annular ring of said seal disc dimensioned to cover an open area between said second disc annular ring inner diameter and said central boss.
2. A cooling tower axial fan hub according to claim 1, wherein said first and second discs have constant outer diameters having outer perimeter edges with no indentations or recesses.
3. A cooling tower axial fan hub according to claim 2, wherein said second disc annular ring has a constant inner diameter having an inner perimeter edge with no indentations or recesses.
4. A cooling tower axial fan hub according to claim 1, wherein said first disc has an outer perimeter edge having regularly spaced indentations.
5. A cooling tower axial fan hub according to claim 4, wherein said second disc comprising only an annular ring has a constant outer diameter and an outer perimeter edge with no indentations or recesses, and an inner perimeter edge having regularly spaced indentations.
6. A cooling tower axial fan hub comprising: a first disc configured to connect to a central boss, and the first disc is planar; a second disc bolted to said first disc through connecting elements of a plurality of fan blades, said connecting elements sandwiched between said first disc and said second disc, and the second disc is planar; a seal disc comprising an annular ring having an outer diameter and an inner diameter attached to said second disc; said first disc comprising a plurality of corresponding and regularly spaced first disc fan blade connecting segments, said second disc comprising a plurality of corresponding and regularly spaced second disc fan blade connecting segments, said first disc fan blade connecting segments each extending radially along a radius of said first disc, an equal distance from a central boss connection, and said second disc fan blade connecting segments each extending radially, parallel with a radius of said second disc, an equal distance from an open center core, each pair of adjacent first disc fan blade connecting segments defining a V- shaped hollow space, and each pair of adjacent second disc fan blade connecting segments defining a V-shaped hollow space, said annular ring of said seal disc dimensioned to cover each said V-shaped hollow space defined by said each pair of second disc fan blade connecting segments.
