Single impeller fans utilize one impeller mounted on the motor shaft to generate airflow. Their simplicity yields lower cost, easier assembly, and straightforward maintenance compared to multi-stage designs.
Available in axial and centrifugal styles, these fans deliver 1,000–100,000 CFM at moderate pressures up to 2 kPa. Lightweight housings of galvanized steel or aluminum facilitate installation in OEM and industrial systems.
Optional variable frequency drives (VFDs) enable stepless flow control, allowing operators to match airflow to process requirements. Open impeller designs permit easy cleaning and inspection in dusty or corrosive environments.
Single impeller fans are ideal for spot ventilation, HVAC supply/exhaust, and equipment cooling where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are key considerations.
