Abstract:
An improved transverse fan and heat exchanger assembly defining a flow path serially including said heat exchanger and said fan, said fan having an impeller with impeller blades and a suction side defined in said flow path intermediate said heat exchanger and said fan whereby as said impeller is rotated said impeller blades advance into air flowing into said impeller via said flow path as said impeller blades advance into said suction side, said heat exchanger having a downstream face, in which the improvement comprises:a flow stabilizer vane extending from said downstream face towards said impeller and in the same direction in which said impeller is rotated and toward said impeller in said region of said suction side whereby a rotational flow is imparted to air flowing into said impeller in the same direction as that of impeller rotation.
