Specifying the best centrifugal blower for your application can be challenging if fan engineering is not your specialism. Given that there are three different kinds of centrifugal fans \u2013 forward-curved, backward-curved and radial \u2013 even choosing the right type can pose difficulties.<\/p>\n
Opt for the wrong type or model of centrifugal fan and you risk compromising on airflow and pressure \u2013 and\/or wasting highly expensive energy. So it always pays to get expert advice. These are just some of the factors that you\u2019ll need to consider\u2026<\/p>\n

efficiently and cost-effectively \u2013 accelerating production, increasing output and enhancing production line reliability.<\/p>\n Those production lines can be anything up to 4-5 metres wide. Every application is unique; each has its own highly specific challenges. So every solution must be tailor-made, though they\u2019re based on standard components to maintain cost-effectiveness and deliver a faster return on investment.<\/p>\n The fans that power the air knives for these applications can feature either forward-curved, backward-curved or radial impellers, depending on the requirements of the task.<\/p>\n Forward-curved centrifugal fans<\/strong> are more compact than radial fans \u2013 and they deliver higher pressures than backward-curved fans. This makes forward-curved fans ideal for drying applications, especially where long, winding ducting or other resistances are involved.<\/p>\n Backward-curved centrifugal fans<\/strong> are more energy-efficient than their forward-curved counterparts. They\u2019re ideal for applications where large volumes of air need to be moved at lower pressures than those created by equivalent forward-curved and radial fans. This makes backward-curved fans cheaper to operate but it can rule them out of applications where higher pressures are required.<\/p>\n Radial fans<\/strong> are more suited to applications that require higher pressures and larger volumes of air.<\/p>\n Many factors affect the choice and performance of centrifugal fans in drying applications. They include the:<\/p>\n The finish on the surface of the object can also have a significant effect on how long it takes to dry. Even a slight roughness on the surface can make the object more likely to retain water, given how fast the production line is running and, therefore, how little time the object may spend under the air knife.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default”

the object must be dried. Applications such as this include the colling\/drying of steel<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>or rubber strips<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n These cooling\/drying applications require high volumes of low-pressure air. A compact forward-curved fan is often the unit of choice in this instance. However, where wider ducting is involved, there is the opportunity to specify a larger backward-curved fan that uses less energy.<\/p>\n Some objects \u2013 such as ultraviolet lights \u2013 are cooled by air because of the fragility of the components and the nature of the application. In this instance, forward-curved fans such as the VBW6<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are used.<\/p>\n The VB, HFM and EV series fans are available in various designs, including single- and three-phase motors with ATEX\/IECEx-rated versions for explosive atmospheres. Aside from industrial process cooling, VBW fans are good for the extraction of fumes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (including degreasing), screen print drying, crop drying\/conditioning, and gas burners.<\/p>\n Another option for industrial process cooling is a multi-stage fan, such as the MS11\/080<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Its modular construction enables each fan to have multiple impellers (up to 10 stages). This is extremely useful when you need to ramp up the pressure gently. It helps to reduce or prevent turbulence, especially in applications in which the discharge outlet must be either blanked off or its diameter significantly reduced at various stages of operation.<\/p>\n How quickly do you want to cool the object in question? This is essential to the specification of the fan. Furthermore, how hot is the object that needs to be cooled? And what is it made from? Aluminium cools faster than steel because of its high thermal conductivity. Aluminium dissipates heat up to 15 times faster than stainless steel \u2013 which is one of the reasons it is specified for electro-thermal applications such as car radiators and air conditioning units. (Aluminium also happens to be strong, light, abundant and easy to machine.)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”15px|0px|15px|20px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”15px|40px||60px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”15px|0px||0px|false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||0px|32px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|10px||10px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”30px” text_line_height=”1.1em” header_text_color=”#003366″ header_font_size=”25px” header_2_font_size=”25px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”20px||15px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”key_knife-destination” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Slab||||||||” text_line_height=”26px” header_text_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” header_4_text_color=”#c8963e” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”18px|0px|18px|0px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”18px|0px|18px|0px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” border_color_all=”#e8e8e8″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n HVAC original equipment manufacturers source their fans and blowers from ACI because they want to be absolutely certain that the unit powering each installation will be exactly right and will perform as intended.<\/p>\n Fans for heating, ventilation and air conditioning usually have backward-curved impellers. These are extremely good at delivering high volumes of air at lower pressures. This is ideal for HVAC because nobody on the receiving end of air conditioning wants to be blasted with cold air. They want a refreshing and gentle cool breeze that delivers (quite literally) a breath of fresh air\u2026not an Arctic gust.<\/p>\n Backward-curved fans are perfect for this application because they are moving significant volumes of air down wide ducting. This does not require much pressure. And with the air conditioning remaining on for long periods of time, the savings these frugal fans deliver are very welcome. True, they\u2019re not as compact as forward-curved fans but that hardly matters when all the other parts of the air conditioning system are so large.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.aircontrolindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ventilation.jpg” alt=”Industrial Fan Application – Air Cooling System” title_text=”Ventilation” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” custom_margin=”70px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”15px|0px|15px|20px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”15px|40px||60px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”15px|0px||0px|false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||0px|32px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|10px||10px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”30px” text_line_height=”1.1em” header_text_color=”#003366″ header_font_size=”25px” header_2_font_size=”25px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”20px||15px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”key_knife-destination” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Slab||||||||” text_line_height=”26px” header_text_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” header_4_text_color=”#c8963e” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”18px|0px|18px|0px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”18px|0px|18px|0px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” border_color_all=”#e8e8e8″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Air curtains use fans to create an invisible but very real and reliable barrier between two environments.
