Abstract
Disclosed fans include an impeller and a guide device. The impeller is configured to generate an air flow path having an upstream direction and a downstream direction, and the guide device is positioned in the flow path located on an upstream side of the impeller. The guide device is configured as an intake grid having flat webs having branches and node points, and the webs form a plurality of flow channels configured as grid cells. The webs extend either between two branches or between one branch and a border area and each branch may include three webs that meet. In one configuration, flow channels include channels having a honeycomb cross section. In other example, flow channels may have a rectangular, pentagonal, and/or hexagonal shape. The fan further includes an inlet nozzle having an inlet area, and the guide device is located upstream from the inlet area of the inlet nozzle.
