Abstract
An axial fan includes a motor, an impeller, and a housing including a tubular air channel wall portion. The impeller includes a tubular impeller hub, and arranged in a circumferential direction on the impeller hub. Each blade includes a first portion where all of an inner circumferential developed blade, an outer circumferential developed blade, and an intermediate circumferential developed blade superimposed on each other overlap. The inner circumferential developed blade is a junction of the blade with the outer surface of the impeller hub. The outer circumferential developed blade is a radially outermost portion. The intermediate circumferential developed blade is a radially intermediate portion of the blade between the junction and the radially outermost portion. The radially outermost portion is at the shortest radial distance from the air channel wall portion in at least a portion of the first portion.
