The primary difference between a centrifugal fan and an axial fan is that the centrifugal fan changes the flow direction of the medium in the air duct, while the axial fan does not change the flow direction of the medium in the air duct; The former device is more complicated. The former motor and the fan are generally connected through a belt-driven rolling wheel, while the latter motor is generally in the fan. The former is usually located at the inlet and outlet of the air conditioning unit, boiler drum, induced draft fan, etc. The latter is often located near the air duct or at the front end of the air duct outlet.

In addition, there is a diagonal flow (mixed flow) fan, the wind pressure coefficient is higher than the axial flow fan, the flow coefficient is larger than the centrifugal fan. To fill the gap between the axial fan and centrifugal fan. Together with the device is simple and convenient features. A mixed-flow (or axial-flow) fan combines the characteristics of axial and centrifugal fans, although it looks more like a traditional axial fan.

The zigzag plate blades are welded to a conical steel hub. Change the flow by changing the blade viewpoint in the inlet casing upstream of the impeller. The enclosure may have an open inlet, but more commonly it has a right-angled meander shape to enable the motor to be placed outside the duct. The secretory shell expands slowly to snub the velocity of the air or gas stream and convert kinetic energy into useful static pressure.
