Abstract
A stator assembly for a fan has a passage member which defines a passage for air flow due to the fan, a fan mount for the fan and at least one support arm extending between the passage member and the fan mount. A plurality of air flow directing members extend between the passage member and the fan mount. The passage member is preferably ring shaped and the fan mount is concentric with the ring. The air flow directing members may be straight, or skewed with respect to the direction of rotation of the fan. Different forms of the air flow directing members are described.
