Fan stator

thingiverse

The 120 mm turbo fan stator significantly amplifies air pressure by redirecting the airflow that's thrown back and to the sides in a precise direction. This static component features non-rotating fins that serve as efficient air deflectors. The design allows for flexibility in installation - it can be positioned before or after the fan, or even on both sides of it. With its versatility, this stator can be utilized in various applications. For instance, it can be attached to a computer CPU fan to enhance cooling performance. I successfully employed it with my custom-built house heat exchanger, yielding impressive results. One notable consideration is that the added airflow may generate increased air noise. However, users can opt to run their fans at reduced speeds to achieve comparable airflow while minimizing power consumption.
