High-Efficiency Centrifugal Airfoil Fans for Clean Air Applications
Industrial Airfoil Blade Fan Overview
AirPro’s industrial airfoil fans are designed to efficiently move large volumes of clean, dry air while minimizing horsepower requirements and long-term operating costs. The Airfoil fan uses nine aerodynamic airfoil blades to reduce turbulence and energy losses, delivering static efficiency up to 88% with a non-overloading power curve for stable, dependable performance.
A flat backplate, flat frontplate, and included inlet cone help create a smooth airflow path through the fan. Available in both belt-drive and direct-drive configurations, Airfoil fans can be engineered around your airflow, pressure, temperature, arrangement, and installation requirements.
AirPro airfoil fans are well-suited for demanding industrial applications including induced and forced draft, oxidizers, dust collection, dilution air, tempering air, and boiler and burner systems.
Industrial Airfoil Blade Fan Performance & Design
- Volume: up to 168,000 cfm
- Temperature: up to 1200°F
- Static Efficiency: Up to 88%
- Airstream: clean, dry air
- Pressure: up to 29”wg
- Drive: belt and direct
The aerodynamic blade profile allows the airfoil fan to move air efficiently while requiring less horsepower than many conventional centrifugal wheel designs for comparable clean-air applications. Its non-overloading power characteristic also helps prevent motor horsepower requirements from continuing to increase as airflow changes across the operating range.
AirPro designs and builds both standard and custom industrial fans with an unsurpassed level of quality and service. All of our products are also backed by our industry-leading 3-year warranty.
Finding the right solution
Centrifugal Airfoil Fan Selection & Specification
Selecting the right centrifugal airfoil fan requires balancing airflow, static pressure, energy efficiency, and operating conditions. Explore AirPro’s fan designs, performance advantages, and customization options to identify the best solution for your application.
Airfoil Fan & Blower Types
AirPro offers two centrifugal airfoil fan designs engineered for efficient, high-volume airflow in clean, dry air applications. Both designs can be customized to meet specific airflow, pressure, temperature, and installation requirements. Common design features include:
- Nine aerodynamic airfoil blades for smooth, efficient airflow
- Flat backplate and frontplate
- Inlet cone to minimize turbulence and improve airflow
- Belt-drive and direct-drive configurations
- Non-overloading power curve for dependable operation
The primary difference is the balance between airflow capacity, pressure development, operating speed, and efficiency. The AFHS is designed for higher-pressure, higher-volume applications, while the AFES prioritizes maximum energy efficiency at lower operating speeds and pressures.
AFHS
Airfoil, High-Volume, Single-Width
The AFHS is AirPro’s high-speed airfoil fan, engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring higher airflow volumes and greater static pressure development. Capable of delivering up to approximately 168,000 CFM and 29” of static pressure, the AFHS provides reliable performance in systems with significant airflow resistance.
With static efficiency up to 86%, the AFHS balances aerodynamic performance, pressure capability, and durability.
AFES
Airfoil, High-Efficiency, Single-Width
The AFES is AirPro’s high-efficiency airfoil fan, optimized for applications where minimizing energy consumption is a priority. Capable of delivering up to approximately 128,000 CFM and 11” of static pressure, the AFES provides efficient, dependable airflow for systems with more moderate pressure requirements.
With static efficiency up to 88%, the AFES helps reduce horsepower requirements and long-term operating costs in continuous-duty industrial applications.
