TYPE
Forward-Curved (FC)
• Double-width, double-inlet (DWDI) construction.
Side View
• Best at low or medium pressure (approximately 0 to 5 in. wg).
• Horsepower increases continuously with increase in air quantity (overloads) as
• Less expensive than AF fans.
• Runs at relatively low speed, typically 400 to 1200 rpm.
• Blades curve toward direction of rotation.
Airfoil (AF)
• Double-width, double-inlet (DWDI) construction.
Side View
• Best in high capacity and high-pressure applications (4 to 8 in. wg).
• Horsepower peaks at high capacities.
• Most expensive of centrifugal fans.
• Operates at high speeds, typically 1200 to 2800 rpm. About double the speed of
• Blades have aerodynamic shape similar to airplane wing and are curved away
Plenum (PAF)
End View
• Single-width, single-inlet (SWSI) construction.
• Characteristics similar to DWDI airfoil fan.
• Blades have aerodynamic shape similar to airplane wing and are curved away
