AIRCOL
Radial fans are fans that create a pressure differential, functioning through a centrifugal effect. A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device used to move air or other gases, featuring a rotating impeller within a helical housing similar to that of a pump. Air or gas enters the fan axially, parallel to the impeller, then is pressurized and directed tangentially through channels around the impeller, finally expelled through the outlet. Due to the high pressure they generate, centrifugal fans are ideal for high-pressure applications like drying and air conditioning systems. With all moving parts enclosed, centrifugal fans are also well-suited for pollution control and filtration systems due to their particle-reduction features.
Applications: Suitable for small to medium spaces, radial fans are often used for ventilation in bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, pantries, laundry rooms, garages, and workplaces. These fans are designed for direct installation on or near exhaust ducts up to 3 meters in length. They are effective in bathrooms for removing steam and moisture, in areas with poor air quality for ventilation, and in homes for odor and smoke removal.

The required airflow for ventilation depends on the purpose of the space, the number of occupants, and activities taking place. The table below shows the required air change rates for various settings.
Area | Air Change Rate |
Classrooms | 5-7 |
Libraries | 4-5 |
Residential kitchens | 15-25 |
Bathrooms | 5-7 |
Residential toilets | 4-5 |
General restrooms | 8-15 |
Meeting rooms | 6-8 |
Offices | 4-8 |
Changing rooms | 6-8 |
For example, in an office with 5 occupants, a ceiling height of 2.6 meters, and a floor area of 50 m², the room volume is 130 m³. Using an air change rate of 5 for offices, the total required airflow would be
130×5=650
130 \times 5 = 650
130×5=650 m³/hour. Including normal activity levels of 5 occupants requiring 29 m³ each, we add another 145 m³, giving a total of 795 m³/hour.
Fan selection should match this airflow requirement. Once the airflow calculation is complete, determine the fan installation location—ceiling, wall, exhaust, or ventilation duct—and the type of electrical connection (single-phase for residential or three-phase for industrial settings).
