Les ventilateurs transforment l'énergie mécanique qui leur est fournie par un moteur en un déplacement de gaz sous une faible pression. On les utilise partout où il est nécessaire d'évacuer ou d'amener de l'air ou un gaz quelconque [...] Les ventilateurs hélicoïdes sont composés d'une hélice à plusieurs pales qui déplace le fluide parallèlement à l'axe de la rotation. Ils assurent [...] une fonction de brassage d'air quand ils sont placés directement dans un circuit aéraulique. (Ex. circuits de ventilation, de désenfumage, de soufflerie.) 4, record 1, French, - ventilateur%20h%C3%A9lico%C3%AFde

On distingue les ventilateurs hélicoïdes dans lesquels l'air ne change pas de direction dans la traversée de l'appareil des ventilateurs centrifuges dans lesquels l'air change de direction et est rejeté radialement. 5, record 1, French, - ventilateur%20h%C3%A9lico%C3%AFde

A type of axial flow fan in which air moves through the fan parallel to the impeller shaft. It is distinguished from other axial flow fans by large hubs, and short blades plus stationary straight vanes on the discharge side of the fan to prevent rotation or swirling of the air leaving the fan. 1, record 2, English, - vane%2Daxial%20fan
