When to suggest an alternative to centrifugal fans: axial fans

In this article we focus on the substantial differences between centrifugal and axial fans, identifying when is convenient to use the latter instead of the former.

An alternative to centrifugal fans: axial fans.

Centrifugal fans and axial fans differ in some important characteristics.

Centrifugal fans also allow the transport of very aggressive fluids with very high temperatures, which the axial fan does not allow to do.
Also, centrifugal fans are capable of delivering larger pressure drops.

On the other hand, with the axial fans is possible to obtain a greater flow rate at significantly lower purchase and installation costs than those of a centrifugal fan.

The axial fans are simpler to be installed than centrifugal fans because they have a smaller footprint.

Therefore, if the system transports non-aggressive fluids at low temperatures with low head losses, it is advisable to use some axial fans for fluid handling.
