Abstract: A fan assembly, such as a rotary axial fan assembly, is disclosed with a shroud that is adapted to be mounted proximate to a heat exchanger. The shroud is sized for conveying a flow of fluid through the heat exchanger and the shroud. A stator fan blade extends inward from the shroud for supporting a hub generally central within the shroud. A motor stator is encapsulated within the hub for receiving a fan rotor and fan blades for forcing the flow of fluid through the heat exchanger and the shroud. The hub may be formed from a thermally conductive material for transferring heat from the motor stator into the flow of fluid for dissipating the heat.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary axial fan and a stator fan for moving air through a heat exchanger for an internal combustion engine cooling system. The fan includes a hub and primary fan blades extending radially from the hub. An annular shroud is attached to the primary fan blades and supported coaxially with the central axis to limit the radial flow of air along the primary fan blades. A plurality of secondary fan blades are interposed between the primary fan blades and each have a first end attached to the annular shroud and terminate in a second end that is not attached to the hub. The stator fan includes a shroud with an array of stator fan blades supporting a hub for the radial axial fan. The size, orientation and material characteristics of the stator fan blades improve sound reduction and heat transfer of the rotary axial fan assembly.
