Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of assembling a fan wheel includes forming a first wheel portion including a first plurality of impeller blades and a first connector, forming a second wheel portion including a second plurality of impeller blades and a second connector, affixing an end of each of the first plurality of impeller blades to a first surface of a support ring such that the first connector is affixed to the second connector, and affixing an end of each of the second plurality of impeller blades to a second surface of a support ring.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fan wheel for use in a blower assembly, comprising: a first wheel portion including a first plurality of impeller blades; a second wheel portion including a second plurality of impeller blades; a support disk positioned near a center of the fan wheel, between the first wheel portion and the second wheel portion, wherein the support disk couples the first wheel portion to the second wheel portion and at least one of the first wheel portion, the second wheel portion, and the support disk is formed from a plastic material, wherein a first surface of the support disk includes a first plurality of blade receiving areas, each of the first plurality of blade receiving areas including a planar land defined between a first groove and a second groove. 2. The fan wheel of claim 1 , wherein the first wheel portion, the second wheel portion, and the support ring are formed separately. 3. The fan wheel of claim 1 , wherein the support disk includes a second plurality of blade receiving areas formed in a second, opposite surface. 4. The fan wheel of claim 3 , wherein the first plurality of impeller blades are welded to the first plurality of blade receiving areas. 5. The fan wheel of claim 3 , wherein the first plurality of impeller blades are mechanically coupled to the first plurality of blade receiving areas. 6. The fan wheel of claim 3 , wherein the first wheel portion further comprises a first connector and the second wheel portion further comprises a second connector and the first connector is coupled to the second connector. 7. The fan wheel of claim 6 , wherein the first connector is welded to the second connector.
