Axial flow fans- Uses, Advantages and special functions

by Ventech Systems Air Pollution Control & Ventilation Systems
Axial flow fans are the type of fan which allows the air to flow through it in the direction of the axial. The airflow in the axial fans is in a parallel direction with the shafts. These fans create a large volume of airflow to maintain cooling in the chamber. These fans use a propeller to draw air into it and discharge it. The blades of axial fans are made of lightweight aluminium alloy or wood. You can search for axial flow fan manufacturers online. The design of axial fans is like a propeller that generates a pressure difference and causes a suction force to retain the flow in the fan. Power and flow rates will also play an important role in the working of axial fans.


Uses of Axial flow fans:
  • These fans are mainly used in cooling towers, blowers, wind tunnels and power generation plants for maintaining high airflow.
  • In helicopters, hovercraft and HVAC systems axial fans are used as condensers or exhaust fans.
  • These fans are used in car radiators to avoid heating of the engine and for ventilation.
  • Generators, air compressors, and diesel engines also consist of axial flow fans.
  • Computers also have an axial fan installed for cooling the processor.
  • In vending machines, axial fans are used for the purpose of cooling.
Advantages of axial flow fans:
  • It has an Optimal Aerodynamic Design that will provide higher efficiency.
  • Blades of axial fans are light in weight as these are made of wood or aluminum alloy. It will also increase the life of machines.
  • It consumes low power.
  • Due to high mechanical strength, these are highly durable.
  • It doesn’t create noise while functioning.
  • These fans can be operated on low voltage.
Disadvantages of axial flow fans:
  • The major disadvantage of DC axial flow fans is that they provide a nonuniform flow of air.
  • DC fans can’t be connected to direct DC power supply.
  • To supply power in DC fans, you have to use a transformer to convert AC to DC
  • DC fans can only provide flow in a single direction.
  • Axial fans create low air pressure.

These axial fans will use low power and provide high wind flow; hence these are mainly used in industries for ventilation purposes. These fans are highly durable as they have FRP lay-up patterns. These fans are made of non-corrosive fiberglass material and don’t need a replacement for a long time. Blades of these fans are made by modern vacuum infusion techniques. Axial fans are also highly demanded in the market as they are lightweight and require less maintenance. Ventech systems are among the renowned manufacturers of axial flow fans. If you want to purchase axial flow fans then you can raise a query on the website of Ventech system.
