Axial flow fans and centrifugal fans are two different products in the fan category, with their main functions being to ventilate and exchange air in the environment. As non professional consumers, if you don't know the difference between axial flow fans and centrifugal fans, buying the wrong product will not achieve the expected effect. So, how can axial flow fans and centrifugal fans be distinguished?
Firstly, the exhaust direction is different: the exhaust direction of the axial fan is straight along the axis, the inlet and outlet of the fan are parallel to the same axis, and the exhaust direction of the centrifugal fan is perpendicular to the inlet direction, which can achieve 360 degree specified direction exhaust.
Secondly, the difficulty level of installation varies: The installation of axial fans is relatively simple, usually installed directly on the wall or connected to air ducts. The installation of centrifugal fans is quite complex.
Thirdly, the difference between air volume and air pressure: Axial flow fans have relatively small air volume and air pressure, and there is basically no air pressure, while centrifugal fans have relatively large air volume and air pressure. If there are many bends in the pipeline, the suction and supply distances are relatively far, and the pipeline resistance is high, centrifugal fans must be used.
Fourthly, the appearance is different: the appearance of axial fans is basically cylindrical, while the appearance of centrifugal fans is snail shaped.
Fifth, the motor connection method of the fan is different: the motor connection of the axial flow fan is generally inside the body of the fan, while the motor of the centrifugal fan is connected by the shaft, usually placed outside the fan exhaust duct.
