Fan Performance and Testing
Airflow/Volume, Air Pressure and Fan Motor Power The performance of any fan – centrifugal or otherwise – comes down to three inter-related factors: Airflow – how much air will the fan move in a given period of time? Pressure – how much (or how little) force is needed...
Centrifugal Fan Materials And Construction
Why Fan Materials And Construction Matter So Much The materials used in the construction of your specified centrifugal fan are of major importance. They will often be determined by the working environment – or the quality of the air passing through the fan....
