APPLICATION ADVANTAGES
New York Blower’s Tubular AcoustaFoil Fan combines
the system simplicity and installed cost savings of axial-
flow designs with the superior performance of airfoil
centrifugal fans.
In applications where equipment space is at a premium,
the compact Tubular AcoustaFoil Fan can reduce system
space requirements by as much as 50% over conven-
tional centrifugal fans. The straight, in-line design
eliminates the need for space consuming and costly
transition, elbows, and inlet boxes. In addition, because
of its superior design, the Tubular AcoustaFoil Fan is
lighter than comparable centrifugal systems further
reducing structural requirements and system costs.
Sound is becoming increasingly important in the indus-
trial and the commercial environments. Because the
Tubular AcoustaFoil Fan is based on centrifugal fan prin-
ciples and utilizes the highly efficient AcoustaFoil airfoil
wheel, it is ideally suited to applications where sound is
a concern. The Tubular AcoustaFoil Fan is significantly
quieter than other axial fan alternatives. Sound levels
are further reduced because of generally larger fan out-
lets and lower outlet velocities as compared to standard
centrifugal fans. Arrangement 9-M
