Fan wheel for a fan or blower assembly

摘要

An improved centrifugal fan wheel adapted to receive a flow medium for radially accelerated discharge by plurality radially extending impeller blades. A plurality of flow medium passage channels are positioned radially inwardly of an outer extent of the fan wheel to improve the efficiency of the fan. The flow medium passage channels are defined by alternating cutouts disposed between adjacent blades about the outer extent of a fan wheel back plate.
