The fan propeller has a plurality of blade elements. All the elements of a group which has at least one of the struts and at least one of the blade elements are forward-sickled or rearward-sickled.

A shroud unit has multiple stay members for supporting an electric motor, which rotates a fan unit having multiple blade members. Each of the blade members is inclined with respect to a radial direction of the fan unit in a predetermined circumferential direction. The stay members include a first stay member and multiple second stay members. Each of the second stay members is inclined with respect to the radial direction in a circumferential direction opposite to the predetermined circumferential direction. The first stay members is inclined with respect to the radial direction in the predetermined circumferential direction. The first stay member is located at a position overlapping with one of air-flow areas of a circular opening formed in the shroud unit, when viewed it in a direction along a rotational center axis of the electric motor. A flow amount of the air passing through the air-flow area of the circular opening having the first stay member is smaller than a flow amount of the air passing through another air-flow area of the circular opening having the second stay member.

A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes a fan. The fan includes a plurality of blades coupled to a hub. A shroud is coupled to the plurality of blades, wherein the shroud focuses a flow of air along a rotational axis of the fan and reduces the flow of the air radially outward from the fan.

A gas turbine intake has a swirl housing having a tangential inlet fluidly connecting an exhaust conduit, an annular outlet defined around a central axis and fluidly connecting a turbine gas path, a swirl path extending circumferentially around the central axis from the tangential inlet, and vanes located in the swirl housing, the vanes circumferentially interspaced from one another relative the central axis, each vane having a twisted and flat body having a length extending from a leading end to a trailing end, the leading end being oriented mainly circumferentially and axially at the swirl path, the trailing end being oriented mainly axially and radially at the annular outlet, the twisted and flat body twisting between leading and trailing ends around the central axis, around a radial axis perpendicular to the central axis, and around a tangential axis perpendicular to both the central axis and the radial axis.

A fan wheel and a radiator of a motor vehicle, the fan wheel having a hub to which a number of fan blades is connected. The fan blades each have a stabilizing structure of a first material, which is surrounded by means of a respective body of a second material.

An axial-flow fan includes: a hub; and blades disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the hub and spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction. The hub includes: an outer wall having a tubular shape; an inner wall having a tubular shape and being disposed radially inward of the outer wall; a boss to which a shaft is mounted and that is disposed radially inward of the inner wall; a first sidewall connecting an end portion of the outer wall that is closer to a first side in a rotation axis direction of the hub with an end portion of the inner wall that is closer to the first side in the rotation axis direction; and a second sidewall connecting the end portion of the inner wall with an end portion of the boss that is closer to the first side in the rotation axis direction.

Provided is an air-sending device in which, in blades, an upstream end of a blade outer periphery is more on an upstream side than an upstream end of a blade inner periphery as seen along a rotation axis, and a downstream end of a blade outer periphery is more on a downstream side than a downstream end of the blade inner periphery, and in which, in the blades, when an angle formed by a line segment, which connects a point internally dividing a line segment connecting the downstream end and the upstream end of an outer periphery of the blades along the rotation axis and a point internally dividing a line segment connecting the downstream end and the upstream end of an inner periphery of the blades along the rotation axis at the same ratio to each other, and a reference line is defined as , and a direction inclined toward the downstream side is defined as positive, the angle is changed from negative to positive at a duct portion.

An impeller includes: a boss portion driven to rotate by a motor; and a plurality of rotating blades projecting radially from the boss portion in a direction in which a diameter increases from a rotational axis of the motor and generating airflow in an axial direction of the rotational axis. The rotating blades have an S-shaped radial cross section in which an inner peripheral side portion is protruded with respect to the airflow and an outer peripheral side portion is recessed with respect to the airflow, and a recess-shaped portion of the rotating blades has a distribution of a radius of curvature value such that the radius of curvature value gradually decreases toward a blade trailing edge portion from a blade leading edge portion and a rate of the gradual reduction becomes smaller toward the blade trailing edge portion.
