Forward Curved Centrifugal Fan

Commonly found in equipment, such as fan coil units, air handling modules, heat recovery ventilators, and cabinet cooling systems, they often have to deal with a specific problem. That is, those systems have low resistance, limited installation place and need higher air volumes in low static pressure. In this case, if you are using a backward-curved or airfoil centrifugal fan, that may count as extra cost and installation space. Because those fans pressure capability is not suitable for this equipment.

The Forward Curved Centrifugal Fan comes with the solution for this problem. In the engineering structure, it comes with a multi-vane impeller where multiple blades are curved in the direction of rotation. This design is capable of delivering high airflow volumes at the low to mid system resistances, even with smaller impellers. Those OEM equipment manufacturers want to set up in a small place and need high air volumes at an affordable cost; it could be a tremendous solution. Low system resistance generates lower noise, which is suitable for populated areas that need acoustic comfort.

Engineers need to know a few things before selecting this model. This Forward Curved Centrifugal Fan has overloading power curved, unlike a backward-curved fan. This means that if the system resistance decreases, then it will need more motor power demand, which can damage the motor. It can work without any problem where the duct resistance is static and OEM equipment has the fixed resistance. It provides steady airflow volumes at low static pressure in short installation places, which is perfect for installation in AHU modules, fan coil assemblies, heat recovery units and compact ventilation equipment.
