Better cooling performance.

Commercial Applications:

Industrial fan manufacturing.
HVAC system design companies.

Questions about Fans:

1. How does the blade arrangement impact the overall performance of the fan?

  - The blade arrangement affects airflow distribution and efficiency, leading to better cooling capabilities.

2. What are the potential applications of fans with optimized blade spacing?

  - Fans with optimized blade spacing can be used in various industries for improved cooling and ventilation purposes.

Original Abstract Submitted

A fan includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and spaced circumferentially about the hub. The plurality of blades includes a reference blade, a first blade, and a second blade. The reference blade is disposed after the first blade in a circumferential direction about the hub. The second blade is disposed after the reference blade in the circumferential direction. The first blade is circumferentially spaced a first distance from the reference blade. The second blade is circumferentially spaced a second distance from the reference blade. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
