  2. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel). Tiny ones used in computers are sometimes called biscuit blowers. These fans move air from the rotating inlet of the ...

  3. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

    The flow within a cross-flow fan may be broken up into three distinct regions: a vortex region near the fan discharge, called an eccentric vortex, the through-flow region, and a paddling region directly opposite. Both the vortex and paddling regions are dissipative, and as a result, only a portion of the impeller imparts usable work on the flow ...

  4. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    The blower motors on these single-stage furnaces consume more energy overall because, regardless of the heating requirements of the space, the fan and blower motors operate at a fixed-speed. Due to its One-Speed operation, a single-stage furnace is also called a single-speed furnace.

  5. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    Because rotary lobe pumps need to maintain a clearance between the lobes, a single stage Roots blower can pump gas across only a limited pressure differential. If the pump is used beyond its specification, the compression of the gas generates enough heat so that the lobes expand to the point that they jam, damaging the pump.

  6. Air purge system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_purge_system

    Mains electricity is responsible for powering the blower’s motor. Different power ratings ensure that the required air flow is provided under different application conditions, duct pressures and hose lengths. Air flow from the blower depends on the type of fan and the mains supply voltage and frequency.

  7. Fan heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_heater

    A fan heater, also called a blow heater, is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heat source (e.g. a heating element). [1] This heats up the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding room. They can heat an enclosed space such as a room faster than a heater without a fan, [2] but like any fan, create a degree ...

  9. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    The compressor pumps the refrigerant gas up to high pressure and temperature. From there it enters a heat exchanger (sometimes called a condensing coil or condenser) where it loses heat to the outside, cools, and condenses into its liquid phase. An expansion valve (also called metering device) regulates the refrigerant liquid to flow at the ...
