Airfoil Fans

Widely recognized for design efficiency and integrity, Canada Blower airfoil wheel has ideal characteristics for variable air volume systems. The fan’s deep spun inlet and hyperbolic wheel cone plus generous fan housing proportions provide a smooth stable air flow over the entire performance range. Precision balancing assures quieter vibration-free operation that adds to the overall reliability and performance of Canada Blower’s airfoil fans.

The heart of Canada Blower AF centrifugal fan is the airfoil wheel, the most efficient type for clean air applications. This fan has an enviable reputation for performance and reliability in a multitude of ventilating applications, including industrial supply or fume exhaust systems. The Canada Blower single width airfoil fan is a rugged fan built to Canada Blower’s industrial level of quality and long-term dependability.

Canada Blower single-width fans are offered in Sizes 13 to 89, with pressures to 20″ WG and volumes to 220,000 CFM. Ventilator construction flexibility is one ofthe strengths of the fan, available in several AMCA arrangements, including 1, 3, 8and 9 to meet any installation requirement. Canada Blower also offers an alternate Design 51RA fan series especially suited for lower pressure ventilating applications.

Industrial Airfoil FANS are available in the following sizes, fan wheel designs, and air flow & pressure ranges.

Fan Sizes Fan Wheel Design Air Volume & Static Pressure
245-1200 BI – Backward Inclined Blades To 186,000 CFM & 16″ W.G.
365-1200 AF – Airfoil Fan Blades To 188,000 CFM & 16″ W.G.
1320-2175 BC – Backward Curved Blades To 710,000 CFM & 16″ W.G.

Aerodynamic ventilator wheel features include non-overloading fan horsepower characteristics and high efficiency.

Canada Blower BI fan blower wheel
AF fan wheels, including blower blades, fan wheel flange and backplate, are also made of high-strength steel as standard. Acoustafoil fan blades are die-formed and welded to the spun wheel flange and fan wheel backplate.

Bl and AF double-width, double inlet fan wheels utilize a common center plate blower wheel design. BC double-width, double-inlet fans utilize two BC fan wheels.
All Canada Blower Airfoil fan wheels are offered with cast iron hubs. Fan wheel hubs are designed with a high hub-to-wheel ratio which adds to the overall structural integrity of the ventilator wheel. Blower blades hubs are straight bored to a close tolerance fit to the fan shaft. Wheel / ventilator hub assemblies are keyed and set screwed to lock the wheel to the fan shaft.

State-of-the-art CAD tools are used to design and detail the entire fan line. Multi-light source shading of a 3-D model is shown.

CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN OPTIONS

Canada Blower fan blower cleanout door

Inspection and Access Fan Doors are gasketed, hinged and shaped to conform with the fan scroll contour. Handled fasteners are used to secure the closed door. All hardware remains on the fan when open. Raised doors to facilitate application of external fan insulation are also available.

Canada Blower fan blower accessories

Split Fan Housings are fitted with bolted companion surfaces along the horizontal center line as standard. Other horizontal, vertical and pie-shaped splits are available. Splits are used for access to fan interior, to meet restricted openings or because of shipping dimensional constraints.

Canada Blower fan blower wheel, shaft, bearings

Blower Shaft Seals are constructed of a non-ferrous material with close tolerance to shaft diameter. Attached to the fan housing the shaft seals limit air leakage around the fan shaft.
