Abstract (en)

A fan (14) is rotatably mounted in a housing (10) and has a plurality of blades (15). Fan (14) and housing (10) are arranged to co-operate, for example by providing two spaced apart formations (16) and (17), such that rotation of the fan (14) generates two sound waves which tends to cancel out. The fan is particularly suitable for use with a tumble dryer. <IMAGE>
