Mixed Flow Fans
What is the definition of a mixed flow fans? Mixed flow fans are designed to provide a combination of pressure and volume while delivering moderate to high efficiency characteristics. They are often used in applications where there is a need to move large volumes of air at moderate pressure levels. They are particularly useful when an application requires a relatively high pressure to move air at a relatively low flow rate. Mixed flow fans have both radial and axial components in their design, creating a cross-flow effect that adds to their efficiency. This design also allows them to be used in confined spaces. Although mixed flow fans are not as efficient as axial fans, they offer the advantage of providing more flexibility in their applications. When it comes to operating conditions, mixed flow fans are more tolerant to fluctuations in temperature, pressure, and humidity. The blades of mixed flow fans are also more resistant to erosion and vibration due to their unique design. In general, mixed flow fans are more robust and reliable than axial fans and can be
