2. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. 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).

3. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fan

   Mechanical vapor recovery blowers-These specially designed centrifugal fans are designed to increase temperature and pressure of saturated steam in a closed-loop system. Acid gas blowers - These very heavy construction blowers are suitable for inlet pressures from full vacuum to 100 psig. Materials are selected for corrosion resistance to the ...

4. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

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

   A centrifugal fan produces more pressure for a given air volume, and is used where this is desirable such as in leaf blowers, blowdryers, air mattress inflators, inflatable structures, climate control in air handling units and various industrial purposes. They are typically noisier than comparable axial fans (although some types of centrifugal ...

5. B. F. Sturtevant Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._F._Sturtevant_Company

   The process created much sawdust, and Sturtevant invented a mechanical fan that was effective at keeping the work area sawdust-free. By 1864 Sturtevant was manufacturing the first commercially successful blower, and by 1866 the company employed 50 workers and worked exclusively on making fans. [1]

6. Dust collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_collector

   Backward-blade fans - Backward-blade fans operate at higher tip speeds and thus are more efficient. Since material may build up on the blades, these fans should be used after a dust collector. Although they are noisier than radial-blade fans, backward-blade fans are commonly used for large-volume dust collection systems because of their higher ...

7. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

   The term "blower" is applied to rotary screw, roots-type, and centrifugal compressors when utilized as part of an automotive forced induction system. The term 'cabin blower' is also used for the pressurisation of aircraft for high altitude flight, which used Roots type compressors particularly in the 1950s (see Marshall supercharger).
