Centrifugal Fan

A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device that utilizes a rotating impeller to increase the velocity and pressure of an air stream. Its key characteristic is that the airflow changes direction (typically 90 degrees) as it enters and exits the housing. This design allows it to generate higher pressure than axial fans, making it ideal for systems with significant resistance, such as ductwork, industrial ventilation, dust collection, and material handling.
