DAE Systems Fan Selection Guide Section 1: Terminology Technical Terms CFM : Cubic Feet per Minute This refers to the amount of air a fan is able to move. Pressure “Inches of water” is a common method of measuring the pressure a fan will generate. RPM : Revolutions Per Minute This refers to how fast the fan or motor is spinning. This has a direct connection to the air pressure and volume of air it can move. Technical Terms Density The flow, pressure or head, needs to be specified at a given density which is affected by temperature and altitude. Blower Centrifugal fans are often referred to as blowers. Wheel In centrifugal fans the impellers are frequently referred to as wheels. DAE Systems Fan Selection Guide Section 2: Types of Fans Three main types of fans: Axial Fans Low Pressure / High Volume Centrifugal Fans High Pressure / Low Volume Mixed Flow Fans Medium Pressure / Volume High Efficiency / Low Noise Axial Fans Axial fans are efficient high volume low pressure machines. These fans are good for general purposes: avionics/electric or personnel cooling; AC and ECS systems, especially if a fan is needed to move air through a heat exchanger. These fans are also ideal for scavenging as the parts that come in contact with the air/sand mixture are more easily hardened than the complex shapes of other types of fans. Axial Fans
