Axial Fans:
Push air in the direction of the fan's axis, moving air in a straight line like a propeller.
Useful for large airflow systems with low pressure, high volume environments (e.g., clean air environments).
Airflow Mechanics:
Air flows from high pressure to low pressure areas.
Axial fans pressurize air via aerodynamic lift from the blades.
Air is drawn in, pressurized, and expelled along the fan's axis.
Applications of Axial Fans:
Found in clean environments like electronic manufacturing clean rooms.
Agricultural environments such as poultry houses or greenhouses.
Ventilation in warehouses and factories.
Advantages of Axial Fans:
Quiet operation.
Low cost and easy installation.
Easy maintenance and repair.
Disadvantages of Axial Fans:
Require more energy to operate compared to other fan types.
Less efficient in moving high volumes of air compared to centrifugal fans.
Need larger size to move the same amount of air.
Exhaust Fan Selection Criteria:
Fan Model: Different models for different functions.
Air Volume and Flow Rate: Measure in cubic feet per minute (CFM).
Air Properties: Consider humidity, temperature, and contaminants.
Static Pressure: Accurate reading needed to determine required pressure differential.
Sound: Ensure minimal noise, measured in sones.
