Blower Fans

Although the terms fans and blowers are often used interchangeably, they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways. Selecting the right component for your application requires understanding these differences in terms of functionality, typical use cases, and key performance benefits.

Common Types of Fans and Blowers Used in Industry
AC Axial Fans
AC axial fans are widely used in industrial settings to cool equipment that generates significant heat during operation. Typical applications include generators, refrigeration units, diesel engines, and other heat-intensive systems. These fans move air parallel to the axis of rotation, providing efficient cooling in systems that require constant airflow.

DC Axial Fans
DC axial fans serve a similar function but operate on direct current, offering greater flexibility in control and efficiency. They can be engineered to be waterproof and dustproof, making them ideal for electronic devices, computers, medical equipment, and automotive systems where compact, reliable cooling is essential.

AC Blower Fans
These fans are designed to increase the air velocity through an impeller and are well-suited for high-pressure applications. Operating typically at voltages up to 230V, AC blowers are used in systems that require steady and forceful airflow over a limited area.

DC Blower Fans (Centrifugal Blowers)
DC blower fans, also known as centrifugal blowers, are designed to move larger volumes of air at a consistent speed. Their design ensures low heat generation and efficient airflow, making them a popular choice for applications requiring steady, controlled ventilation without excess thermal output.
