Abstract
An air conditioning system having a fan that moves air over the outside heat exchanger of the system. The fan is of the bladed axial flow type. A winglet projects curvilinearly both radially outward from the trailing end of the tip of each blade of the fan and perpendicularly upward from the blade pressure surface. A conduit directs condensate formed on and dripping from the system inside heat exchanger to a collector located under the fan. The blade winglets scoop condensate from the collector and draw the water inward toward the center of rotation of the fan, where air moving through the fan slings the water on to the outside heat exchanger.
