Abstract

In a method of widening the zone of stable operation of an axial-flow fan, and of attenuating noise generated thereby, a portion of the flow medium is drawn off upstream of the fan and is returned to a zone at the periphery of the fan rotor. The invention also includes an axial-flow fan for carrying out the method.
