Abstract
An axial fan arrangement for the radiator of an internal combustion engine including an annular bypass channel terminating between the fan frame and the fan. The bypass channel is open to the pressure sided of the fan and is designed such that the bypass flow emerging on the intake side of the fan is deflected in the direction of the main flow. By these measures the stabilization of a back flow vortex is rendered unnecessary.
