Abstract
A vane axial fan housing includes a main body having an outlet end and an inlet end opposite the outlet end. An inlet endplate is secured across the inlet end of the main body and has an inlet opening therein circumscribed by an adjacent venturi-shaped flange integrally formed in the inlet endplate so as to extend toward the outlet end. The venturi-shaped flange also serves to mount the inlet endplate to the inlet end of the main body.
