Axial fans are better for cooling applications low pressures and relatively high flow rates whereas centrifugal fans are more suited to high pressure and low flow rate.
Comparison between axial and centrifugal fans.
Requires less power for operation.
Axial fans and centrifugal fans comparison pressure.
All things being equal an axial fan.
Centrifugal fan vs axial fan.
Although both axial and centrifugal fans are both suited for industrial uses they have distinct differences.
Has a higher operating speed.
Despite a lower flow rate centrifugal fans create a steadier flow of air than axial fans.
The total pressure pt is the sum of the static pressure pst i e.
Centrifugal fans also require a higher power input.
Has a higher dynamic pressure.
This helps create a higher pressure airflow than axial fans.
The airflow created by centrifugal fans is directed through a system of ducts or tubes.
Moves a larger volume of air.
Here are some of the key points you need to remember when choosing between the two types of industrial fans.
