Fan is a machine used to add energy to the gaseous fluid to increase its pressure. Fans are used where low pressures (from a few mm of water to 50 mm Hg) and comparatively large volume are required. They run at rela-tively low speed, the casing and impeller usually built of sheet iron. FAN TYPES1) AXIAL FLOW FANS - the flow of the gases is parallel to the fan shaft. a. tube axial b. vane axial c. Propeller2) RADIAL OR CENTRIFUGAL FLOW FANS- the flow of gases depends upon the centrifugal action of the impeller or rotor. a. Straight blades b. Forward curved blades c. Backward curved blades d. Double curved blades
COMMON USES OF FANS1. Ventilation and air conditioning2. Forced and induced draft service for boilers3. Dust collection4. Drying and cooling of materials5. Cooling towers6. Mine and tunnel ventilation7. Pneumatic conveying and other industrial process work

For a fan Z = 0 ; PE = 0 and Q = 0, because fans are designed toovercome fluid friction. No cooling system is needed due to small temperaturedifferential between suction and discharge.

BLOWERS Blower is a machine used to compressed air or gas by centrifugal force to a final pressure not exceeding 241 KPa gage. Usually blower has no cooling system or it is not water cooled.COMPRESSION OF GASESThe design of blower is usually based upon either an adiabatic or isothermalcompression.

Besides of centrifugal fans with low pressure, medium pressure, and high pressure, manufacturers also produce customs-made products to get the beat match between economy and performance.
FeaturesApplying optimizing design method, modular design, quality process control, and customs-made etc. different way to meet the different needs of the customs.The Max. Efficiency can be 90%, which is 5% higher than the competitors.Wide range of technical parameter ensures the fans run at its best efficiency at the specified applications.
