SIDE CHANNEL BLOWER, IN PARTICULAR A SECONDARY AIR BLOWER FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION MACHINE

摘要

A side channel blower includes a housing comprising a substantially tangential outlet. A housing cover comprises an axial inlet. At least one conveying duct is configured so that the axial inlet fluidly communicates with the outlet. An impeller is driven by a drive unit. The impeller is rotatably supported in the housing and comprises conveying blades which cooperate with the at least one conveying duct. An interruption region is arranged between the outlet and the axial inlet. The interruption region comprises a radially limiting wall and interrupts the at least one conveying duct in a circumferential direction. A first recess is arranged in the radially limiting wall of the interruption region downstream of the outlet. Further recesses are arranged in the interruption region before the axial inlet and after the outlet. A smallest distance between the further recesses is 0.5 to 3 times a distance between two conveying blades.
