Abstract
A stator row is disposed between a propeller fan and a heat exchanger coil, such as the outdoor or condenser coil of a packaged terminal air conditioning unit. The stator row is situated against the heat exchanger coil on the fan facing side. The stator row has a frame that substantially matches the periphery of the coil, a ring disposed coaxially with the hub of the propeller fan, and a suitable number of radial stator vanes that extend from the ring to the frame.
