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 3, French, - ventilateur%20h%C3%A9lico%C3%AFde
