ABSTRACT:
A set of cooling air blowers for machines which require cooling air during operation. The blowers each include an outlet having an anti-reverse flow feature for preventing the flow of air into the blower from externally of the machine should the blower fail, thereby ensuring that the remaining operating blowers are able to maintain a normal and adequate flow of cooling air through the air inlet of the machine and outwardly through the outlets of the remaining operating blowers. Each blower generally includes a blower housing having an inlet, an outlet, and an internal cavity in which an impeller is rotatably disposed, the impeller driven by an electrical motor mounted within the blower housing. The outlet of each blower housing includes a plurality of louvers movable between a first, open position in which the louvers are positioned by contact with the airflow upon rotation of the impeller to allow heated exhaust air to exit the blower housing through the outlet, and a second, closed position in which the louvers are positioned by gravity to substantially block the outlet when the impeller is stationary.
