What are axial fans?
An axial fan moves air along the rotational axis of the rotor. This means that the airflow is axial, i.e. parallel to the axis of the fan.
With this design, they can move large volumes of air at comparatively low pressure.
The most important components are the rotor, the housing, and the motor.
When do you need an axial fan?
Especially when you want to circulate a large amount of air at once. They are particularly suitable for ventilating large spaces without requiring high pressure.
Axial fans are ideal in the following situations:
- Large-space ventilation:
Ventilation of large halls, warehouses, production areas, or workshops.
- Air conditioning:
Cooling and even air distribution in large buildings.
- Kitchens and gastronomy:
For kitchen exhaust systems where large air volumes need to be removed.
- Moisture removal:
In bathrooms, laundry rooms, or humid areas where air circulation is important.
Axial fans vs. centrifugal fans
While axial fans are perfect for moving large air volumes at low pressure, there are also centrifugal fans.
In short:
If you need to move large volumes of air at low pressure, axial fans are the best choice. For air transport at higher pressure or within duct systems, centrifugal fans are more suitable.
