Introduction to Centrifugal Fans
A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device designed to move air or gases by converting rotational energy into kinetic energy. Unlike axial fans, which move air parallel to the shaft, centrifugal fans redirect airflow perpendicular to the intake, using a rotating impeller to increase pressure and efficiency. These fans are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications due to their ability to handle high-pressure requirements and varying airflow conditions.
How a Centrifugal Fan Works
The operation of a centrifugal fan relies on the principles of centrifugal force. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of its working mechanism:
