AXIAL VS. CENTRIFUGAL FANS
Choosing the optical type of exhaust hood is very important for operational efficiency. There are primary types of exhaust fans: centrifugal and axial. Axial fans pass air or gas with the help of axial force. The air moves faster and parallels the axis fan. This option offers low-pressure airflow and is for general-purpose applications such as cooling confined premises, cooling larger workspaces and moving from one place to another.
Centrifugal fans are ones that intake air and spit it around the disc, with the help of centrifugal air force it moves the air to the fan’s outlet. These fans made high-pressure airflow and are well-suited for applications such as drying and air conditioning systems.
