A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885526B2) discloses a unique blower design for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The blower features a blower wheel with backward-curved blades that rotate within a housing forming a hexagonal cross-section. The positioning of the blower wheel within the housing is characterized by specific distances and angles, with the first distance being radially outward from the center of the blower wheel to one side of the hexagonal cross-section and the second distance to another side. These distances are unequal and less than the diameter of the blower wheel, creating a novel configuration for improved performance.

Furthermore, the patent details the method of assembling the blower, emphasizing the precise positioning of the blower wheel within the housing to achieve the desired hexagonal cross-section configuration. Additionally, the patent extends to encompass a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system incorporating the unique blower design. This system includes an evaporator coil and the specially designed blower, highlighting the potential application of this innovation in HVAC systems. Overall, the patent showcases a novel blower design and assembly method that could enhance the efficiency and functionality of HVAC systems in various settings.
