Q1. ‘ entrifuga ‘A ႔
In centrifugal fans, pressure is developed due to the centrifugal force imparted to air,
unlike axial flow fans where velocity energy is imparted to air, which in turn is converted
to pressure energy at the fan outlet.
Q2. H f
Centrifugal fans are suitable for high pressure applications as compared to axial flow fans.
Q3. Under which conditions of pressure ratios and volumes, low speed fans are preferred?
Low speed fans are preferred for low pressure ratios and large volumes.

The flow is varied in accordance with the The flow is varied by guiding the inlet air
process requirement by changing the speed of into the fan in the direction of impeller
the fan. rotation in accordance with the process
requirement.
The main factors affecting the performance of fans are flow, pressure, temperature,
speed and damper positions on the fan side and the power input in KW on the motor
side.
Q.14 ႔ F axial fan A
When the flow of air(or)fluid is parallel to the axis of the fan it is called an axial fan.
Application areas of axial fans are: HVAC, drying ovens, exhaust system
Q.15. R
Radial type of centrifugal fans is used at high pressure, medium flow conditions.
6-58
႔ Chapter-6 Fans and Blowers
Inlet guide vane control is one type of capacity control of fans. The inlet guide vanes are
designed to guide the inlet air into the fan in the direction of impeller rotation and,
therefore, improve performance, resulting in somewhat better energy efficiency than
damper controlled operation.
Q18. F (temperature variations
Variation in flue gas temperature will change the density of the gas given by a formula,
Gas density = (273 x 1.29)/(273 + t°C). Density of gas is important consideration, since
it affects both volume flow-rate and capacity of the fan to develop pressure.
