Abstract
In an axial fan whose fan wheel is retained in a tubular member by spokes, the blade edges of the individual fan blades which face the spokes are constructed geometrically different from one another.
Claims20
A fan comprising fan wheel means, a housing means including a tubular member, said fan wheel means being supported substantially coaxially in said tubular member, said fan wheel means including a hub forming the rotor means of a centrally supported driving motor whose stator means is supported at the tubular member by generally radially directed spokes extending closely at one end of the fan wheel means, and fan blade means distributed over the circumference of the fan wheel means and extending in the space between the hub and tubular member to limit turbulence generated by adjacent fan blade means so that the turbulence is not in synchronism with the frequency of rotation of the fan blade means, the blade edges of adjacent fan blade means which face the spokes differing from another as regards at least one dimension of spacing, inclination, curvature, length and direction with respect to a plane substantially perpendicular to the fan axis and passing through the part of the spokes most close to the fan blade edges.
