Blower with improved impeller vanes

摘要

A blower includes a plurality of rotatable impeller vanes operable to impel air. The impeller vanes create an air pressure differential thereacross when rotated, and each of the impeller vanes has a porous central portion made of sintered resin material. The porous central portion has a plurality of pores therein which permit a portion of air to pass through the porous central portion from a relatively high air pressure side to a relatively low air pressure side of the impeller vanes. Each of the impeller vanes also has a non-porous portion surrounding the porous central portion. The non-porous portion is made of a solid resin material which prevents air from passing therethrough.
