Axial Flow Fan
An axial flow fan, also known as an axial flow fan or propeller fan, is a type of air-moving device used to create airflow parallel to the fan's axis of rotation. Unlike centrifugal blowers that generate airflow radially outward from the center of the impeller, axial flow fans propel air in the direction of the fan's axis, hence the term "axial flow."
Fan Housing : The fan housing surrounds the impeller and provides a pathway for the airflow. It is typically cylindrical or rectangular in shape, with inlet and outlet openings designed to allow air to enter and exit the fan. The housing may include features such as guide vanes or diffusers to control the airflow and improve efficiency.
Motor : A motor is used to power the rotation of the impeller. The motor may be directly integrated into the fan assembly or connected to the impeller via a shaft. The motor's speed and power rating determine the airflow capacity and performance of the axial flow fan.
Types of Blades : Axial flow fans may have different types of blades, including fixed-pitch blades, variable-pitch blades, or adjustable-pitch blades. The blade design influences the performance characteristics of the fan, including airflow capacity, efficiency, and noise level.
