Can you explain difference between axial and centrifugal etc.


Axial - think boat propeller. Air comes in the front and goes out the back.

Where this type comes into its own is when the flow needs to be capable
of being reversed.

Centrifugal - think spin drier. Air comes in at the centre and leaves at
the edge.

Where this type comes into its own is when operating against back
pressure, eg a long delivery tube or trunking.
