Impeller Types for Centrifugal Fans
New for 2025 is a regular feature on basic fan knowledge from Chet White, our Sales and Marketing Manager. This month we look at the various types of impellers for centrifugal fans.
Fan Types
Fan Wheels: The Basics
One of the coolest things about building fans is understanding industrial fan applications. At AirPro, we build all types of fan wheels depending on customer needs. So why one fan type over another? It all has to do with application.
What Fan Shaft Seals Are, What They’re Made of, and Why You Might Need One
There are many industrial centrifugal fan and blower applications that require a shaft seal, including various pollution control, dryer, food and dairy, process cooling, and process heating applications.
Determining the Right Industrial Fan Type
Which industrial fan type do you need in your process to achieve both optimal static efficiency and reliable operation? Considerations include what the fan is processing from clean air to mild particulate to highly abrasive materials, as well as volume and static pressure. Once you know those variables, you can make the fan static efficiency calculation to select the right fan.
