Abstract
A fan including a frame and an impeller is disclosed. The frame has an air inlet and an air outlet. The impeller is disposed in the frame and includes a hub and multiple blades. Each blade has a negative pressure surface facing the air inlet, a positive pressure surface facing the air outlet, a blade root, and a blade tip opposite to the blade root. In a first region extending from the blade root to the blade tip by a first length, the negative pressure surface and the positive pressure surface are respectively a convex arc surface and a plane. In a second region extending from the blade tip to the blade root by a second length smaller than the first length, the negative pressure surface and the positive pressure surface are respectively a convex arc surface and a concave arc surface or both are convex arc surfaces.
