Centrifugal Fan Types & Characteristics | 
    
| STYLE | DESCRIPTION | STANDARD DUTY RANGE | 
     
    
  |  
    Forward curved bladed impeller, high volume - low pressure duty, general ventilation fan for clean air applications only. | 
     500 - 200,000 c.f.m. Pressure usually up to 4" s.w.g. 
  |  
  
     
    
  |  
    Backward curved aerofoil section blades, high efficiency, high volume medium pressure fans, self limiting power curve, generally for clean air application. | 
     1,000 - 200,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 15" s.w.g. 
  |  
  
     
    
  |  
    Backward inclined bladed impeller self limiting power characteristic, application as 'W' type but will accept light dust loadings. | 
     1,000 - 200,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 15" s.w.g. 
  |  
  
| 
     
 
  |  
    Curved radial tipped bladed impeller, medium volume medium pressure fans, inherently strong construction, ideal for severely contaminated gas streams and high temperature operation. | 
     1,000 - 200,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 15" s.w.g. 
  |  
  
     
 | 
    Full width paddle bladed impeller, open bladed construction ensures unrestricted passage of materials through casing. | 500 - 50,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 12" s.w.g. | 
     
 | 
    Narrow back-plated radial blade impeller, suitable for conveying materials. | Up to 20,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 50" s.w.g. | 
     
 | 
    Narrow width/high efficiency fully shrouded backward bladed impeller, suitable for clean air application. | Up to 35,000 c.f.m. Pressures usually up to 60" s.w.g. |
