Working principle of multi-stage centrifugal fan

Feb 27,2025

The working principle of multi-stage centrifugal fans is mainly based on the principles of centrifugal force and multi-stage compression acceleration. The following is a detailed analysis of its working principle: 1. Basic principle

Multi stage centrifugal fan is a commonly used industrial ventilation equipment, which sucks in and accelerates air by rotating the centrifugal impeller, and then discharges the accelerated air. This process involves the conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy, that is, using a high-speed rotating impeller to convert the kinetic energy of gas into pressure energy (potential energy). 2、 Specific work process

1. Air intake: When the fan is started, the motor drives the main shaft to rotate through the transmission device, which in turn drives multiple stages of centrifugal impellers installed on the main shaft to rotate- The front impeller (also known as the first stage impeller) begins to rotate, drawing the surrounding air into the interior of the fan.

2. Acceleration and compression: After entering the impeller, air is accelerated by the action of the blades and thrown out along the radial direction of the impeller- In each stage, the air is not only accelerated, but also further compressed by the rotation of the impeller, thereby increasing its pressure- The shape and angle of the blades will be adjusted in each stage to achieve higher air performance and compression efficiency.

3. Multi stage compression: The characteristic of a multi-stage centrifugal fan is that it has multiple stages of centrifugal impellers. Each stage of the impeller is responsible for further accelerating and compressing the air- The outlet of each stage is also the inlet of the next stage, so that the air can be compressed and accelerated step by step, ultimately achieving the required high pressure and high flow rate.

4. Exhaust: The air that has undergone multi-stage compression and acceleration is ultimately discharged from the outlet of the fan. There may also be guide vanes or diffusers at the exit to further change the direction and velocity of the airflow, ensuring that the discharged airflow meets actual needs. 3、 Performance characteristics

-Efficiency: Multi stage centrifugal fans can significantly increase the pressure and flow rate of air through multi-stage compression and acceleration, thereby meeting the needs of various industrial applications.

-Low noise: By optimizing the shape and angle of the blades and adopting noise reduction measures such as stationary blade rings, multi-stage centrifugal fans can maintain a low noise level during operation.

-High reliability: The multi-stage centrifugal fan adopts sturdy and durable materials and precise manufacturing processes, with high reliability and service life. 4、 Application Fields

Multi stage centrifugal fans are widely used in air conditioning systems, industrial ventilation, air transportation, boiler induced draft, and other fields, providing efficient and reliable aerodynamic support for various industrial equipment and systems.

The working principle of a multi-stage centrifugal fan is to compress and accelerate air step by step through multiple stages of centrifugal impellers, thereby achieving high efficiency and high pressure air delivery.
