radialzentrifugalventilatoren

Radialzentrifugalventilatoren, commonly known as centrifugal fans, are a type of industrial fan that uses a rotating impeller to move air. The impeller consists of a series of blades that draw air in from the center (the eye) and accelerate it outwards radially. The air is then discharged tangentially from the fan housing. This design allows centrifugal fans to generate higher pressures than axial fans of comparable size, making them suitable for applications where air needs to be pushed through resistance, such as ductwork or filters.

The performance of a centrifugal fan is determined by factors like the impeller design, rotational speed, and housing shape. Different impeller types, such as forward-curved, backward-curved, and radial blades, offer varying characteristics in terms of efficiency, noise level, and pressure capabilities. Forward-curved blades are often used in lower-pressure, high-volume applications, while backward-curved blades are more efficient and suitable for higher-pressure systems. Radial blades are robust and can handle dirty or dusty air streams.

Centrifugal fans are widely employed in various industries. They are integral to HVAC systems for ventilation and air conditioning in buildings, industrial processes for material handling and dust collection, and in automotive applications for cooling. Their ability to deliver high static pressure makes them essential for forcing air through restrictive pathways. The construction of these fans typically involves a motor, an impeller, and a casing designed to direct the airflow.
