Abstract
A fan having forward-curved blades, such as a sirrocco fan or cross-flow fan, wherein the width of the outlet of an air passage between the adjacent two blades is 0.28 to 0.52 of the pitch of the blades at the inlet of the air passage, and the width of the inlet of the air passage is 0.85 to 1.2 of the width of the outlet thereof. The fan having blades of this construction has improved efficiency and reduced aerodynamic noise level in operation.
