Fans
1. A diagram called a ________ helps us in determining the flow geometry at the entry
and exit of a blade.
Ans: velocity triangle
2. It is the ratio of the discharge pressure over the suction pressure – is used for defining
the fans and blowers.
Ans: Pressure ratio
3. Centrifugal fans displace air radially, changing the direction (typically by _____degrees)
of the airflow.
Ans: 90
4. A fans that much more energy efficient than radial blade fans and so, for high power
applications may be a suitable alternative to the lower cost radial bladed fan.
Ans: Backward-curved fan
5. A particular type of axial fan that can be directly coupled or driven by transmission.
Ans: Bifurcated
6. Construction of fan where the fan wheel can be linked directly to the shaft of an electric
motor.
Ans: Direct
7. ______________ blower wheels are designed to deliver higher pressures for
pressurizing, blow-off systems and long duct or pipe runs. -
Ans: Shrouded Radial Blade
8. _____________ wheels incorporate a blade design with the cross section of an airplane
wing.
Ans: Airfoil
9. Pressure ratio of fan is up to _______.
Ans: 1.11
10. Constant airflow allows centrifugal fans to generate energy that reaches up to 84%
static efficiency. These higher efficiency levels are ideal for sustaining larger air
systems.
Ans: First-rate energy efficiency
11. These fans are durable enough to properly operate in the most corrosive and erosive
environments.
Ans: Enhanced durability
12. Lighter material fans can be easily cleaned when you deem it necessary. Moreover,
certain fans have self-cleaning characteristics, making daily maintenance that much
 easier.
Ans: Easy to maintain
13. Centrifugal fans are useful for multiple airflow/pressure combinations, and they can
process several airflow conditions, including clean, dry, and wet air.
Ans: High versatility
14. These fans are available in several sizes to accommodate diverse applications—such
as those found in tight spaces or difficult to reach areas.
Ans: Multiple sizes
15. Type of centrifugal fan that is also known as “non-overloading” because changes in
pressure do not overload the motor.
a) Radial Fan
b) Backward-inclined fan
c) Forward-curved fan
d) Airfoil blade fan
16. Part of a fan that are used to isolate fan vibrations from the building and the rest of the
ventilation system.
a) Connectors and isolation foundation
b) Louvers and dampers
c) Blades and housing
d) Belts
17. Type of centrifugal fan that have hollow backward inclined blades that are suitable to
handle large volumes of clean air at low moderate static pressures.
a. Radial Fan
b. Backward-inclined fan
c. Forward-curved fan
d. Airfoil blade fan
18. Its primary function is to push air downward while creating a downward raft and making
the room feel cooler.
Ans: Fan blades
19. It is a performance curve for the particular fan under a specific set of conditions.
Ans: Fan Curve
20. _______ had a spiral case surrounding the fan blades, as well as a flexible shutter to
control the escape velocity, which made it far superior to previous open-fan designs and
led to the possibility of mining at great depths.
a. Radial Fan
b. Backward-inclined fan
c. Forward-curved fan
d. Guibal fan
21. Centrifugal fans are by far the most prevalent type of fan used in the _____ industry
today.
Ans: HVAC
