  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. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Magnetically coupled pumps, or magnetic drive pumps, vary from the traditional pumping style, as the motor is coupled to the pump by magnetic means rather than by a direct mechanical shaft. The pump works via a drive magnet, 'driving' the pump rotor, which is magnetically coupled to the primary shaft driven by the motor. [8]

  4. Pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

    A small, electrically powered pump A large, electrically driven pump for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, [1] by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic or pneumatic energy.

  5. Blowing engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_engine

    Allis vertical blowing engine. A blowing engine is a large stationary steam engine or internal combustion engine directly coupled to air pumping cylinders.They deliver a very large quantity of air at a pressure lower than an air compressor, but greater than a centrifugal fan.

  6. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    Roots pumps are capable of pumping large volumes but, as they only achieve moderate compression, it is not uncommon to see multiple Roots blower stages, frequently with heat exchangers (intercoolers) in between to cool the gas. The lack of oil on the pumping surfaces allows the pumps to work in environments where contamination control is important.

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Roots Blower Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_Blower_Company

    It was founded in 1854 by the inventors Philander Higley Roots and Francis Marion Roots. It is notable for the Roots blower, a type of pump. [1] Today, Roots blowers are mainly used as air pumps in superchargers for internal combustion engines; they were first used in blast furnaces to blow combustion air to melt iron. [2]
