Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 66 words
An axial fan with the blades curved in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the fan, constituted by a hub (3) from which blades (2) radiate out wards to an external stiffening ring (4), the said blades (2) having a section which is an airfoil profile characterised in that the chord (L) of each blade is constant along the radial direction of the fan.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 46 words
An axial fan according to claim 1, wherein the projections, on a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the fan, of the blade (2) anterior or entry edges (5) and the blade (2) posterior or exit edge (6) are defined by two circumference arcs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 68 words
An axial fan according to claim 1, wherein the said blades (2) exhibit a twist, or more precisely a progressive variation in the angle of attack of the airfoil section of the blade, i.e. the angle made by the direction of air approach and the chord, in function of the radius of the fan, which twist is constant along its entire longitudinal development towards the external ring (4).
