AXIAL FANS

What is an Axial Fan?

An axial fan is a fan type which moves gas (air, steam, fumes or smoke) through it in an axial direction - parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. It is designed to produce a pressure differential which causes a flow through the fan - pulling air through the fan inlet. Factors which determine the performance of a fan include the number and shape of the blades and the speed at which they rotate. Design parameters include power, flow rate, pressure rise and efficiency. Performance is also dependant on the fan enclosure (casing) design.

Tube Axial Fans – JM Range

Tube Axial fans have medium pressure, high flow capability and are not equipped with guide vanes. The JM is available in standard and high temperature variants from 315mm up to 1,600mm and can be used in a variety of configurations such as two-stage (for high pressure applications), short cased or long cased, ATEX and hazardous area.

Two-Stage Axial Fans

2 stage fans have two impellers rotating in opposite directions at the same time, which generates up to 2.7 times the pressure development of a single fan. A two stage configuration delivers a high efficiency and high-pressure developing, in-line solution. MaXfan 2 provides one electrical connection point reducing installation time/connection costs, whilst the JM2 variant, features a duct-mounted terminal box for each stage.

High Temperature (HT) Fans

If a fan is being installed to provide enhanced fire safety, a high temperature variant is the essential choice. Designed to perform under extreme conditions, up to 400C, our HT Axial range is designed to remove hot smoke as rapidly as possible, for a duration of up to 2 hours, in order to provide valuable time to evacuate an area and help keep smoke levels down while firefighters control the fire.
