Mixed-flow fans sit between axial and centrifugal: more pressure than a plain axial fan at a smaller size than a centrifugal, which suits medium flow with relatively high pressure, such as duct boosting, AHU internal fans and jet induction.
SINDFAN supplies mixed-flow fans as complete units and mixed-flow impellers with guide vanes as separate components.
| Impeller diameter | Ø250 - Ø1600mm |
|---|---|
| Blade form | Backward-curved twisted blades (mixed-flow) |
| Pressure | medium to high, suited to in-line duct boosting |
| Drive | Direct or belt drive |
| Material | Fabricated steel, cast aluminium, or GRP for corrosive duty |
| Balancing | ISO 1940-1 G6.3 |
Figures above are our standard ranges; the actual supply is per the agreed technical specification. Impeller performance curves describe the bare impeller under standard inlet conditions. Once installed, performance is affected by casing clearance, tip clearance, inlet straightening and guide vanes; tested as a complete fan to GB/T 1236 / AMCA 210 the result typically differs by 2-5%. Site measurement governs and no complete-fan performance warranty is implied.
For the same flow a mixed-flow fan is smaller and easier to route; choose centrifugal when pressure is high (above about 2500 Pa) or fine control is needed.
Yes. When using a VFD, check motor cooling at the lowest frequency - a shaft-mounted fan may not be sufficient for prolonged low-speed running.
At high speed mixed-flow fans are noisier; choose a larger diameter at lower speed, or add silencers and treat the inlet and outlet.
