Many people may confuse axial flow fans and centrifugal fans, but they actually have significant differences in structure and function:

 

(1) Airflow direction: The airflow direction of an axial flow fan is parallel to the axis of rotation, while the airflow direction of a centrifugal fan is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

 

(2) Air pressure and air volume: Axial flow fans have a larger air volume but lower air pressure; centrifugal fans have higher air pressure but smaller air volume.

 

(3) Applicable scenarios: Axial flow fans are suitable for applications requiring high airflow, while centrifugal fans are more suitable for applications requiring high air pressure, such as air conditioning systems.
