A Radial fan is used for so many purposes these days whether that be for items found in most households or in cars or factories. They play an integral part in our everyday lives and will do so for many years to come.

Radial fan can be applied in so many different ways and usually run by using electricity although a radial fan can also run off a generator. Most households have a radial fan, there is generally some sort of fan found in most houses. A radial fan can be just your normal portable fan or a ceiling fan is normal is most humid areas. When you do have a ceiling fan it's important to note that most of them must be put in by an experienced electrician otherwise you could have some serious problems with them. They are certainly a lot more economical than running an air conditioner, which is why they are so popular in humid areas where having some air flow cools down the place. Radial fans are also found in most air conditioning units now, they are used to blow cooled air out of the unit and into the room.

Radial fans are used in a large number of different industries, whether that be for the fan in your car ...
... or a fan in your computer to keep it from heating up too much. The word Radial means spreading out of a common centre which is how most fans work. They can also be used in large industrial type settings where there is a need to push either cooling air or just making sure there is air flow through a certain area.

Radial fans can also be known as a centrifugal fan, which is made up of three different types of blade settings. They are the straight steel plate paddle wheel, the forward multi-vane multi-blade and the backward turbo vane. They are also used in Industrial type situations such as factories, large underground carparks and gymnasiums. They can be used in lots of different situations where there are large enclosed open spaces which need some type of circulation, whether that be blowing cold air through the premises or to just have some sort of air movement. There are different types of fans, which can be put in an industrial factory such as a mounted fan or a freestanding fan. Obviously to do a large area you need a large fan so having it mounted can be a benefit whilst having it freestanding can also be a benefit because it can be moved if need be. There are also different noise levels of these fans but most fans these days are relatively quiet especially in an area such as a factory.

Automobiles also have radial fans placed in them to keep them from overheating, this is probably the most popular use for radial fans in this day and age. They're placed under the hood of the car to keep the motor cool and stop it from overheating. Another use for radial fans is also the home computer, obviously these are a lot smaller than most radial fans but they get the job done, by stopping the computer from overheating also.
