AIRFLOW = PM (AIR THROUGH PROP THEN MOTOR)
ADJUSTABLE PITCH PROPELLERS (AIRFLOW = PM)
Rotation is determined by viewing the propeller
Airflow Direction from the discharge side of the fan.
Leading Edge of Blade
- Air is drawn through the propeller from the leading Intake Side
edge of the blades.
- The concave side of the blade cups the air and
pushes it away from the prop Airflow Direction
air passes through
Prop then over Motor
(Airflow = PM)
aka: Hub on Intake
Discharge
LH Rotation
Intake
NOTE 1: Airflow direction and rotation must be correct in order for LH Rotation
the fan to operate at 100% performance.
NOTE 2: If the propeller rotates in the wrong direction, you will not
get any airflow at all in the proper direction.
