Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Axial Fan

Definition

An axial fan is a component used in cooling systems and ventilation applications. It generates airflow parallel to its rotational axis, drawing air in and propelling it along the same direction as the shaft. This creates a high-volume, low-pressure airflow suitable for general ventilation, electronics cooling, HVAC systems, and industrial equipment heat dissipation. The fan consists of a motor, blades (impeller), and a housing. The motor rotates the blades around a central shaft, imparting kinetic energy to the air and creating a pressure difference that moves air axially. The blade angle (pitch) and rotational speed determine the airflow volume and pressure. Axial fans are available in various sizes and configurations, with typical airflow rates ranging from 500 to 5000 m³/h, static pressures from 50 to 500 Pa, and diameters from 200 to 1000 mm. They operate at speeds between 500 and 3000 rpm, with power consumption from 0.5 to 15 kW. Voltage and frequency ranges are 220–480 V AC and 50–60 Hz, respectively. Noise levels typically range from 60 to 85 dB(A), and operating temperatures from -20 to 60 °C. Ingress protection ratings are IP54 to IP65, and blade materials may include aluminum alloys such as AL6061 to AL7075. Common materials for housing and blades include plastic and aluminum, with steel for shafts and bearings, and copper for motor windings. These fans are used in various industries, including machinery and equipment manufacturing. When selecting an axial fan, it is essential to verify model-specific parameters and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier, as the values provided are reference ranges and may vary by application.

Working Principle

The fan's motor rotates blades (impeller) around a central shaft. As the blades spin, they impart kinetic energy to the air, creating a pressure difference that draws air in axially (parallel to the shaft) and discharges it in the same direction. The blade angle (pitch) and rotational speed determine airflow volume and pressure.
