Double-Suction Fan for Centralized Air Handling

The 4-2×72 series should not be treated as a small general exhaust fan. Its double-inlet layout allows air to enter both sides of the impeller, so it is more suitable for projects where a large air volume needs to be handled through a centralized ventilation or air handling system.

Typical use cases include factory ventilation stations, workshop air exchange, large equipment air supply, process cooling air and centralized ducted ventilation. The final model should be checked according to airflow, pressure, speed, motor power, duct resistance and installation direction.

The standard conveyed medium is air or other non-flammable, non-toxic and non-corrosive gas without sticky substances. Dust and hard particles should not exceed 150 mg/m³, and the gas temperature should not exceed 80°C.

 
Airflow Structure

How the Double-Inlet Layout Works

A double-inlet fan must be selected by considering both air intake sides, impeller structure, shaft support and duct connection. This makes the selection logic different from a single-inlet centrifugal fan.
01 / Side A

Air Enters

One side of the impeller receives inlet airflow.

02 / Impeller

Double Intake

Air enters from both sides for large-volume operation.

03 / Side B

Air Enters

The opposite inlet must also remain unobstructed.

04 / Outlet

High Airflow Discharge

The casing guides airflow toward the duct system.

Installation Review

Double-Inlet Fans Need More Space Planning

01

Both Inlet Sides

Enough space should be reserved around both inlet sides to avoid airflow blockage.

02

Type E Transmission

Shaft, bearing housing, coupling and motor position should be reviewed together.

03

Duct Direction

Outlet angle should match the main duct route and reduce unnecessary resistance.

04

Maintenance Access

Bearing inspection, motor access and guard removal space should be confirmed before production.

 
Performance Reference
