ABSTRACT:
A plastic fan includes two injection molded parts, each of which includes its own hub and a set blades extending outwardly from the hub to a band. The two parts are co-operatively sized and shaped to be assembled into a single operable fan having: 1) a hub comprising the hubs of each of the component parts; 2) the blades of the component parts; and 3) a circumferential band comprising the bands of the component parts. The fan blade separation on each of the fan parts is relatively large, permitting separate injection molding of each part. The resulting fan may be designed to have far greater blade number and blade solidity that would be possible for a fan that is injection molded by standard techniques. The fan may be packaged in an airhandler assembly that includes a flexible cylindrical retraining member generally coaxial with, and external to, a rigid cylindrical member, the fan band and the stator assembly, so as to support the stator assembly and to maintain the parts in place. A conical airguide may be positioned axially between the fan assembly and the stators. Also disclosed are methods of assembling the airhandler described above; and a bell mouth airguide that guides airflow smoothly into the round fan.
