FAQs About Axial Blowers

Our inventory of axial fan rentals includes explosion-proof blowers, portable ventilation fans, confined-space blowers and more from reliable brands like Allegro. Fan airflows range from 831 to 2,900 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and blade sizes from 8 to 12 inches. With safety always top of mind, we also offer explosion-proof axial fans to contain potentially dangerous internal blasts due to exposure to combustible airstreams. These portable ventilation fan rentals are versatile pieces of equipment well-suited for dispelling fumes, ventilating spaces, cooling crew and equipment and drying damp areas.

What is the difference between an axial blower and a centrifugal fan?

Centrifugal fans have angled blades to produce narrow, high-pressure airflows. Axial blowers create larger, low-pressure airflows since their blades are in-line with the axis.

Can axial fans also operate as exhaust fans?

Yes, most axial fans are versatile enough to be used as inline or extractor exhaust fans.

What size axial blower do you need for your application?

Axial blowers are best used in applications where large airflow rates are required. As for choosing the right size for your needs, we recommend the 831 to 877 CFM axial fan for small to medium applications and the larger 1,636-2,900 CFM Axial Blower for more heavy-duty applications.
