2. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

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

   This may direct the airflow, or increase safety by preventing objects from contacting the fan blades. Most fans are powered by electric motors, but other sources of power may be used, including hydraulic motors, handcranks, and internal combustion engines. Mechanically, a fan can be any revolving vane, or vanes used for producing currents of air.

3. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   Figure 1: Components of a centrifugal fan An external motor belt driven inline centrifugal fan discharging inline to the exterior of a building through a duct. Unlike non-inline/non-concentric impeller casing design with a cutoff blade above, the concentrically symetric cylinder casing and impeller geometry of inline type redirects the outflow around so that it is parallel to the inflow of gases.

4. Internal fan-cooled electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fan-cooled...

   An internal fan-cooled electric motor (colloquially, fan-cooled motor) is a self cooling electric motor.Fan cooled motors feature an axial fan attached to the rotor of the motor (usually on the opposite end as the output shaft) that spins with the motor, providing increased airflow to the motor's internal and external parts which aids in cooling.

5. TEFC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEFC_motor

   A Totally Enclosed, Fan-Cooled (TEFC) electric motor is a type of industrial electric motor with an enclosure that does not permit outside air to freely circulate through the interior of the motor. [1] An external fan blows outside air over the frame of the motor to cool it. This motor is arguably the most commonly used motor in ordinary ...

6. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

   A ducted fan may be powered by any kind of motor capable of turning the fan. Examples include piston, rotary (Wankel), and turboshaft combustion engines, as well as electric motors. The fan may be mounted directly on the powerplant output shaft, or driven remotely via an extended drive shaft and gearing.

7. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

   Backward inclined – These fans have simple flat blades, backwardly inclined to match the velocity pattern of the air passing through the fan wheel for high-efficiency operation. These fans are typically used in high-volume, relatively low-pressure, clean air applications. Radial blade – The flat blades of this type are arranged in a radial ...
