Abstract

An axial flow fan for an air conditioner is disclosed. This axial flow fan is capable of changing the shape of blades by varying a design factor such as a chord length, a sweep angle, etc., generating an enough flowing amount of a fan for implementing an efficient heat radiation of a heat exchanger, and decreasing a noise which occurs during an air flowing operation of the fan, so that it is possible to implement a high efficiency and low noise fan system. The above-described axial flow fan according to the present invention includes a hub engaged to a rotary shaft of a motor, and a plurality of blades engaged to the hub, wherein assuming a coordinate which is obtained by computing a distance R in a radial direction of the blade into a distance from a radius Rh to a radius Rt at a blade tip BT based on a non-dimensional method as "r" (r=(R-Rh)/(Rt-Rh), a maximum camber ratio Hc(r) which is a ratio between a maximum camber Cmax and a chord length 1 has 0.02.+-.0.01 at a hub BH of r=0, 0.04.+-.0.015 at a blade tip BT of r=1, and a maximum camber ratio at a portion of r=0.6.about.0.75 has a maximum value of 0.05.+-.0.02.
