No performance curves are available for inlet vanes. Inlet vanes are used to pre-spin the air entering the fan inlet. The pre-spin reduces the amount of horsepower required by the fan to move a given volume of air. The same size inlet vane will perform differently on different fans. This makes it impractical for us to provide a performance curve for an inlet vane, as each vane would have to be tested on the fan for which it would be used.
