Fan Manufacturers in Australia

All fan manufacturers in Australia have heard of the FMA-ANZ otherwise known as the Fan Manufacturers Association of Australia and New Zealand estimates that 20% of the energy consumed in industry goes toward driving fans and fan related equipment. Fan manufacturers in Australia define commercial or industrial fans built for non-domestic or non-residential use. The most significant difference is application and size. An oscillating desk fan as small as five inches in diameter can make a significant contribution to your personal comfort while working, but an industrial setting often requires the movement of tens of thousands cubic meters of air every minute.

Fans are a relatively simple technology, but fan manufacturers are doing all they can to squeeze every bit of efficiency possible from their products. Because they are so simple, industrial fans often do not receive the maintenance attention they deserve, another factor that fan manufacturers take into account.

Fan Design Elements

There are a number of design elements that need to be considered when selecting a fan for certain applications; Custom Fans of Australia can show you the design differences. If the application calls for a fan with a rotating element less than four feet in diameter, most often there will be an off the shelf unit that will meet the need. Larger sizes and special applications often call for customised work, but many fan manufacturers welcome the challenge of special applications.

Some of the elements that classify fans have to do with the intended use. A blower is simply a fan where the anticipated load is downstream of the unit. These would include ventilation supply fans for buildings, furnace and heater supply fans, and HVAC supply fans, among others.

Ventilation Applications

Some fan applications work more efficiently by drawing air from a space. This is often the case when the industrial process inside the space is creating hazardous fumes, smoke, or particulates. To operate efficiently, the space serviced by a suction fan should be well sealed with the exception of the air inlet. The spacing of the air inlet relative to the suction fan is critical to the efficient ventilation of the space. A space which is less well sealed may be better served with a blower which over-pressurises the space. Harmful fumes and smoke will be carried out of the space with the escaping over pressurised air. Axial flow fans can be designed to work in either direction, working as either a blower or a suction fan as necessary.
