7. The Critical Function of Axial Fans in Cooling Towers and Power Plants
In the massive infrastructure of power generation and industrial cooling, axial fans perform a function that is literally critical to the global energy supply: thermal management in cooling towers[21].
6. Axial vs. Centrifugal: Choosing the Right Fan for Pressure and Flow
The world of industrial air movement is dominated by two primary fan technologies: axial and centrifugal (or radial)[3]. The fundamental difference lies in the direction of airflow: axial fans move air parallel to the shaft, while centrifugal fans move air radially, exhausting it at a 90-degree angle to the intake[3][6].
