The present invention provides an axial fan assembly (10) including a motor (22) having an output shaft (30) rotatable about a central axis (34) and a shroud (18) coupled to the motor. The shroud (18) includes a substantially annular outlet bell (46) centered on the central axis (34). The axial fan assembly (10) also includes an axial fan (26) having a hub (54) coupled to the output shaft for rotation about the central axis, a plurality of blades (58) extending radially outwardly from the hub and arranged about the central axis, a substantially circular band (62) coupled to the tips (70) of the blades, and a plurality of leakage stators (50) positioned radially outwardly from the band (62) and adjacent the outlet bell (46). |
