Abstract
A fluid inlet grille (12) with aerodynamic grille bars (13) formed by leading grille bars (46) and trailing grille bars (47) separated by gaps (44). Each of the novel aerodynamic grille bars of the fluid inlet grille is constructed in such a manner that along a majority of its length its transverse cross section has a maximum width greater than its trailing edge width.
