Propeller fans - Import export

Axial fans are a type of fan that creates airflow through a fan wheel that rotates around an axis and moves the air parallel to the axis. Axial fans can also be called propeller fans and are usually delivered as a complete unit consisting of fan wheel, motor and cover. Typically axial fans are direct driven with the impeller mounted on the motor shaft. There are also other designs such as e.g. belt-driven or with shaft bearing and coupling. The axial fan’s strength is to transport large volume flows at low pressures. At higher pressures, a centrifugal fan may be a better choice. To reach higher pressures with axial fans, these can be connected in series. Usually, the efficiency of an axial fan is comparatively lower than that of a centrifugal fan. But by using guide rails, diffusers and other accessories, an axial fan can reach the same or higher efficiency. The flow of axial fans can be regulated with vane or damper or speed regulation.
