Centrifugal fans offer simple design, superior performance

A new range of forward curved centrifugal fans, designed to simplify specification across multiple projects, is now available from Air Control Industries (ACI). Based upon a common configuration for all unit sizes, it is the first in a series of product lines to be based upon the company’s new ‘Homogeneous ’ modular design concept.

Designated ‘H’ (Homogeneous Fan), the fans cover a wide performance range with small increments between models to ensure a more accurate match to the duty specification.

ACI’s H fans are direct driven units with motor sizes ranging from 0.18 to 22kW, delivering flow rates up to 6,000m3/h and pressures up to 40mbar. Standard options include 1- and 3-phase versions with 2- or 4-pole metric or NEMA motors.

Fan housings can be supplied in sheet steel (powder coated black as standard), stainless steel (304 or 316), or aluminium. Explosive risk (ATEX/CSA), UL and CE motor versions are further options. Efficiencies are compliant with the ErP Directive for 2013 and 2015.

There's a full range of accessories for the H Range, including finger guards, inlet and discharge spigots, discharge flanges and pedestals.

All H fan range details, including downloadable 2D and 3D drawings, are available for easy incorporation into engineering drawings from ACI’s website.
