Well an industrial exhaust fan is really more of a generic term that could include most types of industrial exhaust fans. For instance, it could be a centrifugal type or axial type fan. What makes them called an industrial exhaust fan is that the type of construction and materials used to make centrifugal blowers differ from axial flow because of the way they move the air. The centrifugal blower has a lot more, no, many about seven in fact, wheels that all draw air in or out the blower housing. An axial flow fan is different. Before selecting an industrial exhaust fan one must ask themselves and for what purpose would be industrial exhaust fan serve. One must also ask how many cubic feet per minute do I need the the industrial exhaust fan to blow and how many horsepower should the industrial exhaust fan be and also what are the static pressures. And of course how large the space is.
Here are some applications in which you would use industrial exhaust fans:
- Industrial fields: textile, shoe making, socks/clothes making, glass, processing, molding, rubber, coating, silk-screen printing, toy, electronics, home appliances, printing, restaurants, cooking at home, dyeing, laundry and other workshops with high-temperatures
- Civil fields: net bars, stores, waiting-rooms, supermarkets, mess hall, food markets, and recreation places and other occasions with air-conditioning
- Agricultural fields: large farms, in house and livestock farms, greenhouse and livestock farms
