Definition.

Fan is a power-driven machine which

moves continuous volume of air/gas by
converting rotational mechanical energy to
an increase in the total pressure of the
moving air.
Classified based on the ratio between Discharge
and Suction pressure.
- Fans- upto 1.11
(1136 mm Wg)
- Blowers 1.11 to 1.20 (1136 to 2066 mm Wg)
- Compressors . > 1.20 (>2066 mm Wg)
