4-2×72 Double Inlet Centrifugal Fan
 

The 4-2×72 is a double-inlet centrifugal ventilation fan designed for large airflow duties. The original catalogue covers No.6E through No.20E and includes performance tables, belt / pulley data and installation dimensions.

Catalogue applications include ventilation and air exchange for hotels, halls, theatres, workshops and other large spaces. Standard catalogue medium temperature is not more than 80°C, with sticky material excluded.

Final model, speed, motor, pulley arrangement, rotation, discharge angle and installation dimensions should be confirmed from the actual operating point and project layout.

Double-Inlet Structure

Double-Suction Layout for Large Airflow With One Fan

 

The 4-2×72 uses a double-inlet structure, allowing air to enter the impeller from both sides. The series is therefore positioned for higher-volume ventilation duties than ordinary single-inlet general-purpose fan ranges.

The original catalogue documents No.6E, 8E, 10E, 12E, 14E, 16E, 18E and 20E. Larger sizes use correspondingly larger motors, belt / pulley sets and foundations.

Double-inlet does not mean that airflow alone determines the fan. The required total or static pressure, medium, temperature, installation space, outlet orientation and motor supply must still be checked together.

Operating Limits

Standard Ventilation Duty and Special Review Conditions

STANDARD DUTY

Large-Volume General Ventilation

The catalogue positions the fan for ventilation and air exchange in large public or industrial spaces. Standard medium temperature is ≤80°C and sticky material is excluded.

SPECIAL REVIEW

High Temperature, Corrosive or Special Gas

Gas above 80°C, sticky material, corrosive service, explosive / combustible gas, abrasive dust or other process-specific conditions should not be assumed to fit the standard catalogue configuration.

 
Catalogue Performance

Performance Coverage From No.6E to No.20E

The original performance tables cover eight model sizes and multiple speeds. The figures below describe the overall documented envelope rather than a single operating point.

Reference condition stated in the catalogue: 20°C, air density 1.2 kg/m³ and atmospheric pressure 101325 Pa.

Item Catalogue Range Selection Meaning
Model Range No.6E–No.20E Eight documented double-inlet fan sizes.
Airflow 9,460–422,000 m³/h Large airflow range across all documented model / speed rows.
Total Pressure 284–2,911 Pa Pressure must be matched to the same airflow row.
Speed 290–2000 r/min Higher-speed small models and lower-speed large models are both covered.
Motor Power 2.2–260 kW Motor capacity changes with model, speed and duty point.
Representative Catalogue Coverage
Model Documented Speed Range Documented Motor Range Catalogue Notes
6E 920–2000 r/min 2.2–22 kW 90° / 180° belt-length references are listed.
8E 716–1630 r/min 4–45 kW Separate pulley and belt data by speed.
10E 580–1300 r/min 7.5–75 kW 90° / 180° belt-length references are listed.
12E 500–1160 r/min 11–132 kW High pressure points within the series occur in this size range.
14E–20E 290–830 r/min 7.5–260 kW Large-volume range with progressively larger pulley / motor arrangements.
Important: do not select the fan from the maximum airflow or maximum pressure independently. Use the required airflow and pressure from the same operating point.

Selection Logic

Select the Double-Inlet Fan From the System Duty Point

01

Airflow

Required m³/h, m³/s or CFM. Large airflow is the main reason to consider a double-inlet configuration.

02

Pressure

Required static or total pressure at the same operating point.

03

Medium

Confirm gas condition, dust, corrosion, stickiness and any combustible / explosive risk.

04

Temperature

Normal and maximum gas temperature; standard catalogue duty is ≤80°C.

05

Motor & Transmission

Voltage, frequency, motor power, belt / pulley arrangement and available maintenance space.

06

Installation

Rotation, 90° / 135° / 180° discharge requirement, duct interface and foundation dimensions.

If airflow is known but system pressure is not, use the Static Pressure Unknown Guide and send duct dimensions, length, elbows, filters, dampers and other resistance information.

 
Typical Applications

High-Volume Ventilation and Central Air-Handling Duties

02

Central Ventilation Systems

Large duct networks requiring one high-volume centrifugal fan.

03

Industrial Workshop Air Exchange

General supply / exhaust where a large airflow requirement makes a double-inlet fan practical. View Workshop Ventilation →

04

Process Air Handling

Large-volume process-air duty where pressure remains within the documented 4-2×72 range.

05

Old fan nameplate, layout, pulley data, motor information and foundation dimensions can be used for replacement review.

 
Buyer FAQ

4-2×72 Double Inlet Centrifugal Fan FAQ

Why use a double-inlet centrifugal fan?

A double-inlet arrangement allows air to enter the impeller from both sides and is therefore suited to high-volume ventilation duties where one fan must handle a large airflow.

What model range is documented in the original catalogue?

The supplied catalogue pages cover No.6E, 8E, 10E, 12E, 14E, 16E, 18E and 20E.

What is the catalogue airflow range?

Across the documented tables, the overall airflow range is approximately 9,460 to 422,000 m³/h. The matching pressure must always be taken from the same model and speed row.

What is the standard gas-temperature limit?

The original catalogue states that the medium temperature should not exceed 80°C for standard duty.

Can the outlet direction be customized?

The original dimensional pages show multiple orientations, including 90°, 135° and 180° examples. Final orientation should be confirmed with the selected size and project drawing.

What information should I send before quotation?

Send airflow, pressure, medium, temperature, outlet direction, voltage, frequency, quantity, installation space and any existing drawing or replacement information.

Project-Based Fan Selection

Send Airflow, Pressure and Installation Requirements

For 4-2×72 selection, send airflow, total or static pressure, medium, temperature, voltage, frequency, discharge orientation, quantity and destination. For replacement projects, attach the old fan nameplate, pulley / motor information, photos and available dimensions.
