What Is a Centrifugal Blower?
A centrifugal blower is a fan that intakes air axially and expels it at a right angle to the axis.
This blower comes in two main types: sirocco and turbo. Sirocco fans, with backward-curved blades, offer the advantages of low axial thrust and quieter operation. In contrast, turbo fans, characterized by their forward-curved blades, are capable of producing greater airflow and higher pressure.
Used in air conditioning systems, industrial settings, and various machinery, centrifugal blowers serve multiple purposes. In air conditioning, they aid in air circulation and ventilation. In industrial applications, they are essential for exhaust and suction tasks. Within machinery, they contribute to cooling and heating processes. Benefits of these blowers include adjustable airflow and pressure, a compact and lightweight design, and ease of maintenance. However, they can be associated with noise production and higher axial thrust.
