fan principle

The principle of a fan is based on converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy, generating airflow and pressure to move air through a system. Fans operate using rotating blades or impellers, which impart velocity to the air and create a pressure difference across the fan.

There are two primary types of fans: axial and centrifugal. Axial fans move air parallel to the axis of rotation, while centrifugal fans move air perpendicular to the axis, using centrifugal force. Understanding fan principles is essential for designing efficient ventilation systems and optimizing air distribution, noise control, and energy usage.

Our educational resources and engineering support help clients and partners apply these principles for reliable and high-performance ventilation solutions.
