  • Patent number: 4323330
    Abstract: A mixed flow fan assembly including a rotating mounted impeller having a plurality of blades. An orifice member is mounted adjacent the tip of the blades to form an orifice area to receive air drawn in by an impeller in a first direction. A vaneless diffuser is created by an outlet diffuser element and a spaced plate to receive air drawn by the impeller and discharge air expandably and outwardly in a direction perpendicular thereto. The plate, outlet diffuser element and orifice member in various embodiments are selectively attached to the blade to rotate therewith or be stationary in relation thereto.
