Industrial cooling fan applications

Industrial Cooling Fans come in many types and constructions as required by the application. In most cases, fan or blower performance along with the mounting and/or size limitations is the controlling factor. Some cooling fans are Axial Flow type with propellers. An example would be large, diesel, locomotive engines that require a large volume of air blowing over the engine to cool the engine and engine fluids. Another application might require a centrifugal blower with a wheel that will develop more pressure to blow into an AC or DC motor and cool the commutator when the motor is operating at slow speeds. A third type of blower is used to circulate the air in ovens to prevent hot/cold spots and then cool the oven before opening.
