Wheel Technology

  1. Wheel in a New Form 

The mixed flow wheel includes a wheel cone carefully matched to the inlet cone for precise running tolerances to reduce air leakage and turbulence, improve efficiency and lower sound.

  1. Advanced Design

The design of the flow passage is optimized through CFD simulation and experimental verification, dramatically improving the wheel efficiency over the traditional mixed flow wheel.

  1. Advanced Process 

Die-formed and continuously welded, the wheel and flow passage components are of high precision, high strength and greater reliability.

  1. High Balance Quality Grade

The wheel has been dynamically balanced twice: after the continuous welding process and after epoxy coatings applied on the surface. The balance quality grade reaches AMCA 204-G2.5. This helps greatly improve wheel balance, reduce vibrations and lower sound.

  1. Optimum Sound Performance 

The mixed flow wheel takes on intermediate performance characteristics between the axial and centrifugal wheel. Tests in the AMCA accredited laboratory (AMCA 300 Standard) show that it has such optimum sound performance that a bystander would hear a more band sound.

General Features

  1. Performance Characteristics of Mixed Flow Type

The mixed flow fan takes on intermediate performance characteristics between the axial and centrifugal fan and features higher efficiency and lower sound. It allows greater airflow than the centrifugal fan and produces higher pressure than the axial fan. The mixed flow fan has a smaller wheel diameter than the centrifugal fan at the same speed and has lower speed than the axial one with the same wheel diameter.

  1. High Efficiency and Lower Operation Costs

The optimized wheel and guide grid help ensure optimum flow efficiency, reducing turbulence and leakage. The YFIMF Model fan is AMCA Certified for Fan Efficiency Grade and is rated Energy Label Grade 1.

  1. Better Sound Quality: Lower Sound Power

The sound quality of a mixed flow fan benefits from the low sound design as well as the reduced overall sound power. The mixed flow fan has a much lower sound level than the axial fan and double inlet centrifugal fan at all octave bands. Moreover, its sound mostly falls into the low octave band (62.5-250Hz) and a bystander would hear a more band sound.

  1. Fans in Direct and Belt Drive Types for Flexible Model Selection
  • The direct drive type features high transmission efficiency, more compact design, low maintenance and no quick wear parts. For the fan of each specification, there are wheels of 6 different angles to choose from to meet the requirements for model selection.
  • The belt drive type enables automatic matching in model selection and offers greater flexibility in responding to field conditions. Also, it is more convenient to repair and replace motor.

Technical Information
