An Overview of Backward Curved Centrifugal Fans

Backward curved centrifugal fans are used in industrial settings to move air at high pressures. This type of fan is designed to generate a large volume of airflow while operating quietly and efficiently, making it an ideal choice for use in applications where noise reduction is a concern. In addition, these fans can be used in environments where temperature control is important. This article provides an overview of the features and benefits of backward curved centrifugal fans, and how to install, operate, and troubleshoot them to ensure optimum performance.

The key feature of a backward curved centrifugal fan is its blade curvature. The curve is designed to direct the flow of air away from the center of the impeller, reducing air turbulence and increasing performance. This minimizes the negative effects of pressure fluctuations on the fan’s noise level. Additionally, the curved blades help reduce noise levels by spreading the sound waves over a wider area.

Another benefit of backward curved centrifugal Fans is their ability to operate at higher speeds than other types of industrial fans. This enables the fans to deliver larger volumes of airflow at lower energy costs. In addition, the fan’s rotor structure is built with quality materials that can withstand high speed and high forces, which helps to extend its lifespan. As a result, backward curved fans require less maintenance than other types of industrial fans.

EC Backward Curved Centrifugal Fans

EC backward-curved centrifugal fans are available in a variety of sizes and mounting configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They offer a combination of performance and energy efficiency, and they can be easily integrated with building automation systems. Depending on the application, these fans can also be equipped with a variety of controls, including speed control, on/off control, and integration with building automation systems.

These fans are effective in environments that would cause corrosion in other types of industrial fans. This makes them popular among companies looking for reliable ventilation solutions. They typically have a higher RPM than forward-curved centrifugal fans, and they tend to vibrate more and aren’t as strong structurally. However, these fans are cost-effective, and they are useful in environments where the chemicals would contaminate forward-curved centrifugal fans.

NYB’s backward curved centrifugal fans are performance-rated in accordance with AMCA standards and are manufactured using high-quality material that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive conditions. They are an integral part of many HVAC systems, providing efficient and quiet operation for a range of industrial processes, including fluidizing, thermal oxidation, and combustion. They can be fabricated from a number of different alloys, including Hastelloy and ASTM 36. To learn more about our backward curved centrifugal fans, please contact us today.
