Fan types
Fans are mechanical units designed for air transportation in the ducts, direct air supply or air exhaust from the
premises. Air is moved due to the pressure drop between the fan inlet and outiet vent.
Anaxial fan has the form a cylindrical-cased wheel with the impeller fixed to a
bushing at some angle to rotation plane. As the impeller blades rotate air is
trapped betwen and is moved further axially. Air is hardly moved in the radial
irection. The axial fan blades are mostly set directly on the motor shaft.
Application: air supply and air extract through openings or assembled to
max. 3m air ducts at low air dynamic resistance in the system.
A mixed-flow fan is able to move air along the motor shaft. Such fans are
widely applied in the ventilation systems with round air ducts.
Round inline fans are available in standard sizes ranging from 100 up to 460
mm with the air capacity range from 250 to 5200 mn. The impellers with
backwardcurved blades are powered by the asynchronous external rotor motors. The ball bearings are rated for
long service life. The fan casing may be made of plastic, polymer-coated or galvanized steel and has good
corrosion-resistant properties and a nice look
Application: air exnaust and supply in long ventilation systems with high air
dynamic resistance.
‘A centrifugal fan consists of an impeller and a scroll casing. An impeller is a
hollow cylinder with mounted biades inside, circumferentially fixed with disk
plates. The hub for mounting the impeller on the shaft is located at the center
of the strengthening ring
During the impeller operation air is trapped
between the blades, gets compressed and
Is moved from the center. Under
centrifugal force air is transported to the _—
scroll casing and then moved to the
exhaust pipe. The centrifugal fans are equipped with forward or backward
curved blades. Backward curved blades enable up to 20% energy saving
‘Another important privilege of backward-curved blades is their high air
overioad capability. Centrifugal fans with forwardcurved blades ensure the
same air capacity and pressure characteristics as the backward-curved blades
do but they require smaller impeller diameter and lower speed. So they are
able to attain the required result demanding less space and producing less noise.
