What is a centrifugal fan?

A centrifugal fan (suction fan) is a device used to move, drain and transfer air from one place to another. Suction fans are designed and manufactured in different designs and sizes with different capacities depending on the place of use.

Centrifugal Fan and It’s Operation:

The operational mechanism of the fan is such that the incoming air, parallel to the axis of the impeller, enters the fan housing and, with the rotating motion towards the wings, the air will move towards the tip and wings. With this movement, kinetic energy mixes with the airflow, and as the motion slows down, the air velocity increases before entering the path of static pressure discharge.

Air entry into the device in a centrifugal fan takes place along the axis of the rotational motion of the impeller. During this process, both kinetic energy and static pressure of the air increase. The incoming air into the fan, to exit from it, undergoes rotational movement under the influence of the centrifugal force. An important point about the operation of the centrifugal fan is that the air velocity and volume in these fans are constant, but the mass of air changes based on its density. In simpler terms, ambient air enters the centrifugal fan through the inlet, rotates 90 degrees in the impeller section, and then accelerates due to the centrifugal force. Ultimately, it flows over the fan wings and exits the fan housing.

In addition to ventilation and air transfer, centrifugal fans are commonly used for drawing air through heat exchangers. The airflow generated by the wings of these fans has the ability to cope with and overcome the resistance present in the air. Centrifugal fans use the kinetic energy created by the wings for the movement of the air flow. This allows the generated airflow to have the ability to move against the resistance caused by ducts, dampers, and other components. Furthermore, the displacement of the airflow by the centrifugal fan is done radially, and the direction of the airflow also changes.

Centrifugal fan and important points in designing and manufacturing

In the construction of the centrifugal fan, the volume and pressure required for movement, the distance of the place to discharge gas or air with the sucker, the design of the spiral shape, the place of air entry and exit, the suction speed, etc. should be considered. Improper construction of a spiral and a suction impeller can lead to loud and annoying noises. Also, the static and dynamic imbalance of the suction impeller will cause vibration and wear of the device.

Uses and applications of bag filters

Centrifugal fan is used in many cases such as air conditioning of hospitals and public places, dust filters and bag filters, tunnels, gypsum, and cement industry.

Steel centrifugal fan

Steel kind is used to move and suck air and gases containing high water vapor or gases containing acid vapors. Due to the decay of iron against water vapor and acid gases, the body, and impeller of iron vacuum cleaners will have a lot of depreciation. Also, vacuum cleaners made of plastic and polymer will soften and become out of balance if the passing gases are hot. In such cases, the best solution would be to use steel.
