  2. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Roots_blower_-_2...

    English: A labelled cross-section of a Roots blower with 2-lobed rotors. The rotor form is cycloidal, and in this drawing is drawn accurately. In fact, it is part epicycloidal and part hypocycloidal, and in both cases the smaller generating circle is 1/4 the diameter of the circle it rolls around.

  4. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    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.

  5. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    These motors are sometimes called DC motors, sometimes EC motors and occasionally DC/EC motors. DC stands for direct current and EC stands for electronically commutated.. DC motors allow the speed of the fans within a fan coil unit to be controlled by means of a 0-10 Volt input control signal to the motor/s, the transformers and speed switches associated with AC fan coils are not required.

  6. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fan

    Industrial fans and blowers are machines whose primary function is to provide and accommodate a large flow of air or gas to various parts of a building or other structures. This is achieved by rotating a number of blades, connected to a hub and shaft, and driven by a motor or turbine .

  7. Bellows - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellows

    Diagram of a fireplace hand-bellows. A bellows or pair of bellows is a device constructed to furnish a strong blast of air.The simplest type consists of a flexible bag comprising a pair of rigid boards with handles joined by flexible leather sides enclosing an approximately airtight cavity which can be expanded and contracted by operating the handles, and fitted with a valve allowing air to ...

  8. Specific fan power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_fan_power

    Specific Fan Power (SFP) is a parameter that quantifies the energy-efficiency of fan air movement systems.It is a measure of the electric power that is needed to drive a fan (or collection of fans), relative to the amount of air that is circulated through the fan(s).

  9. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    A floor register. A register is a grille with moving parts, capable of being opened and closed and the air flow directed, which is part of a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
