  • Patent number: 11060528
    Abstract: An axial fan wheel, in particular for the radiator of a motor vehicle engine, is described. The axial fan wheel includes a crown ring having a multiplicity of rotor blades, a hub having an inner ring which is connected or connectable to a drive shaft, and having, for the purpose of torque transmission, connection surfaces along an outer periphery of the hub which are connected to the inner ring and to the crown ring. The hub has through-passages between the inner ring and the outer periphery. At least one element, arranged rotationally fixedly on the axial fan wheel inside the crown ring, is designed to maintain a pressure difference in the axial direction when the axial fan wheel rotates.
