What Is A Centrifugal Fan Used For?

What Is A Centrifugal Force And How To Apply It To A Centrifugal Fan?

The first step in understanding how these ventilation devices work is to grasp the concept of centrifugal force. 

In the case of a centrifugal fan, this force interacts with air, which is drawn inwards thanks to the rotation of blades. While inertia imposes air to follow a straight line while displacing, the rotatory motion of the fan causes it to change direction, acting outwardly away from the central axis. 

However, centrifugal force is influenced by multiple factors. Firstly, the volume of air, which significantly impacts the fan and blade design. The shape of the device can affect the performance of the whole system and the quantity of air it can draw in and expel throughout heavy-duty operations under challenging conditions. 

Lastly, the faster the rotational speed / number of revolutions per minute is, the greater the centrifugal force will be, influencing the working principle of the fan, and the ventilation’s quality. 

The Main Uses And Applications Of A Centrifugal Fan

What is a centrifugal fan used for? To answer this question, you need to analyse the industries and the contexts where these ventilation systems will be applied due to their ability to manage different airflow and pressure levels. 

Industrial Processes

Centrifugal fans can be used for carrying out industrial processes that require the fluid transport or the extraction of smog, fumes, vapours, dust, chemical substances, and particulate matter. These contaminants can compromise the machinery’s functionality as well as affecting the operator’s well-being. Additionally, axial fans are widely used in industries such as glass manufacturing, steel production, nuclear facilities, and the paper industry.

Agriculture

Beyond industrial and commercial applications, centrifugal fans play a pivotal role in agriculture. In fact, they can effectively maintain stable humidity levels in drying and storage facilities, thus ensuring the quality of stored products.

Why Is A Centrifugal Fan a Preferred Choice Than an Axial Fan?

When it comes to choosing the most suitable model for your business’ needs, the decision is between axial blowers and centrifugal fans. In this case, it is important to make a comparison between these two solutions in order to understand which is the best system for the industry and the applications they will be used for. 

The choice primarily depends on the specific requirements and conditions. In some situations, the decision is predetermined, and it is not possible to choose an axial fan over a centrifugal one. Centrifugal fans have a significantly higher pressure capability compared to axial fans, making them more suitable for certain environments and industries. 

That said, here are the main characteristics of centrifugal fans:

• Design: centrifugal blowers are much more robust, a feature which makes them perfect for industrial, heavy-duty settings.
  
  

• Noise: centrifugal blowers are the perfect choice if you are interested in a solution that produces little noise. On the contrary, axial models tend to be more loud.
  
  

• A variety of models: blowers are available in different sizes and models, differentiated by the orientation of the blades to deal with air more effectively.
  
  

• Temperature handling: Centrifugal blowers can process high-temperature fluids, where axial fans are not suitable.
