Crossflow fans and vertical fans are two different types of fans with different characteristics and application scenarios. The following is a brief comparison of these two types of fans:
1. Different construction
Cross-flow fans usually use a high-quality aluminum alloy multi-wing fan blades fan, using a copper core coil, double ball bearings, electrophoresis treatment of the wind wheel structure, with a large air volume, low noise, low vibration, long service life, smooth operation, easy to install and so on. Vertical fan is usually used in the ordinary axial fan, its structure is relatively simple, usually by the motor, fan blade and shell composition.
2. Different wind direction
The most important feature of the cross-flow fan is that the fluid flows through the fan impeller twice, and the exhaust gas is evenly distributed along the fan width, so its wind direction is horizontal. The wind direction of vertical fan is vertical, usually used for indoor air circulation and heat dissipation.
3. Different application scenarios
Due to its horizontal air direction and even airflow distribution, cross-flow fans are usually used in air purifiers, air curtains, wine coolers, fireplaces, freezers, solariums, subways, harvesters, and other equipment to provide even airflow and heat dissipation. Vertical fans, on the other hand, are more suitable for indoor air circulation and heat dissipation, such as on air conditioners, air curtain units, dryers, hair dryers, home appliances, and grain combines.
4. Differences in noise and vibration
Due to the construction and wind direction characteristics of cross-flow fans, their noise and vibration are usually lower than that of vertical fans. Vertical fans, on the other hand, usually have greater noise and vibration than crossflow fans due to their vertical wind direction and motor location.
To summarize, cross-flow fans and vertical fans are two different types of fans with different construction, wind direction, application scenarios and noise and vibration characteristics. When choosing a fan, you need to choose according to the actual needs and use of the scene to get the best results.
