Centrifugal Fan• Air Enters the Impeller Axially,
iiiThen Passes Through the iiiImpeller Radially
• The Blades Drag the Air in a iiiCircular Motion and Centrifugal iiiForces Accelerate the Airflow iiiRadially Outward
• The Airflow is Then Collected in iiiThe Volute Casing and iiiDischarged at Right Angles to iiithe Inlet Flow

Motion of Air• The Increase of Centrifugal
iiiForce With Radius Produces a iiiPressure Gradient, Whereby the iiiStatic Pressure in the Blade iiiIncreases With Radius
• The Blades Drag the Air in a iiiCircular Motion and Centrifugal iiiForces Accelerate the Airflow iiiRadially Outward

Motion of Impeller • The Motion of the Rotating
iiiBlades Adds Rotational iiiMomentum to the Flow, iiiIncreasing the Velocity of Flow iiiin the Tangential Direction
• As the Air Moves Radially iiiThrough the Impeller, the iiiAbsolute Velocity of the Flow iiiWill Increase, With the Absolute iiiMaximum Velocity at the iiiImpeller Outlet
• The Increase in the Absolute iiiVelocity of the Air Leads to an iiiIncrease in the Kinetic Energy iiiand Dynamic Pressure Across iiithe Impeller

Air Flow Through The Casing • A Proportion of the Dynamic
iiiPressure From the Air Leaving iiithe Impeller is Transferred Into iiiMore Useful Static Pressure
• The Fan Casing is Usually iiiVolute Shaped, Allowing iiiDiffusion of the Air Leaving the iiiImpeller to Take Place

Fan Selection BasicsFan Laws
“The Fan Laws”It is not practical to test every fan at every variable which may be encountered. Fortunately, by use of a series of equations, commonly referred to as the “Fan Laws” it is possible to predict with good accuracy the performance of a fan at other variables.
The variables include : Fan Size – D Fan Speed – NFan Air Density - Fan Flow Rate -
Fan Total Pressure - Fan Velocity Pressure – Fan Static Pressure – Fan Input Power – Fan Total Efficiency – Fan Static Efficiency –Compressibility Coefficient –Sound Power Level -

Fan Selection BasicsSpecific Speed
Image area
Fan Specific Speed• The Ability of a Fan To Generate
iiiPressure and Flow With Impeller iiiSpeed. It is the Speed at Which a iiiFan of Indeterminate Diameter iiiWill Run at to Produce Unit Flow iiiat Unit Pressure
• Low Specific Speed Fans iiiProduce High Pressures at Low iiiFlow Volume
• High Specific Speed Fans iiiProduce Lower Pressures at High iiiFlow Volumes
• Specific Speed is Proportional to iiiImpeller Inlet Diameter and iiiImpeller Width for a Given (Fixed) iiiWheel Diameter
Low Specific Speed High Specific Speed______>
