housing As a rule the housing is cylindrical The motor with fan wheel (chosen by the manufacturer) is mounted on to the housing The fixing points of the fan are likewise located on the housing If a connection box is mounted on the outside of the housing then the connection cables are to be suitably fixed The direction of air flow (in connection with the rotational direction) is to be indicated on the housing using a durable marking (can also be combined with the rating plate) 4.6 Design of the fan wheel The fan wheel shall be designed in such a way that no water is able to gather This
