  • Patent number: 6411509
    Abstract: A fan assembly is disclosed includes a guiding tube having a curved part in the middle of the guiding tube and two straight parts in both ends of the guiding tube, and a fan inclinedly assembled in the curved part of the guiding tube. One end of the guiding tube is used to be an outlet and the other is used to be an inlet. The fan is used for drawing in a gas current from the inlet and blowing the gas current out of the outlet on a heat-generating device through the curved and the straight parts of the guiding tube. Therefore, as the gas current is blown through the curved and the straight parts of the guiding tube, the gas current blown on the heat-generating device is evened so as to improve the heat-dissipating efficiency.
