Forward inclined

Backward inclined
four main types
Radial

Backward inclined airfoil.

Although the figure above shows the difference between the different types as the shape and direction of the blades,
there is also another construction difference in the shape of the housing that is needed for each type. The backward
inclined fans require a much stricter housing construction and heavier blades which increases the costs. The airfoil
blades are also more difficult to construct, which also increases the costs of airfoil type fans. .

9. Compactness; light in weight.

10. Adaptability for direct

connection to standard

motors (major types of drive).
