  • Publication number: 20160003487
    Abstract: In order to suppress that a velocity in the vicinity of a bell mouth is lowered to induce non-uniformity in velocity at an outlet of a blade and an outlet of the bell mouth caused by adoption of a forward-swept blade which makes a tip vortex small as means for noise reduction, in a blade of a propeller fan, a trailing edge portion which has been rotationally projected on a plane passing through a rotational axis is formed from the rotational axis toward a blade tip portion so as to bend from the suction side to the discharge side with a first curvature, and is further formed so as to bend with a second curvature which is smaller than the aforementioned first curvature with an inflection point interposed.
