ABSTRACT:
A modified centrifugal airfoil fan wheel having a plurality of radially extending blades, a spaced back plate and front plate that interconnect each blade along the lateral edges of each blade, a center plate and a plurality of stiffeners. The center plate is spaced intermediate and parallel to the back and front plates and interconnect each blade along an intermediate portion. The plurality of stiffeners encircle and are secured to each blade at the outermost portion of the blades. The back plate, front plate and center plate each have a central concentric opening and each may have a cutout spaced between each blade. This modified design results in reduced stress during operation and an extended fatique life.
