L'enveloppe est la partie fixe du ventilateur qui entoure la roue et assure vis-à-vis de l'écoulement le rôle de tronçon du conduit dans lequel le ventilateur est inséré. On l'appelle parfois "volute" si elle est de forme spirale, ou "virole" si elle est de révolution (forme cylindrique ou tronconique en général). 2, record 2, French, - volute

Airfoil blade fans ... are the most efficient of all centrifugal fans ... The blades which usually number ten to sixteen on the impeller, are contoured to react like an airplane wing ... Airfoil blades are expensive to produce and repair, limiting their use to clean, nonabrasive gases. 5, record 3, English, - airfoil%20blade

Centrifugal fans are enclosed in a scroll-shaped housing, which is designed for efficient airstream energy transfer. This type of fan has the most versatility and low first cost and is the workhorse of the industry. Impeller blades may be radial, forward-curved, backward-inclined, or airfoil. When large volumes of air are moved, airfoil or backward-inclined blades are preferable because of higher efficiencies. For smaller volumes of air, forward-curved blades are used with satisfactory results. 4, record 4, English, - forward%20curved%20blade
