Industrial Fan Selection Support

Select the Fan from the Operating Point, Not the Model Name

QIYUE FAN helps buyers move from application data to a practical fan direction by reviewing airflow, pressure, temperature, medium, system resistance, drive arrangement and installation requirements.

Selection Equation
Q · Airflow
How much air the process needs to move.
P · Pressure
How much resistance the fan must overcome.
M · Medium
Clean air, dust, hot gas or corrosive gas.
Operating Point = Q + P + Working Condition
Selection Foundation

Four Values That Define the Fan Direction

The model comes later. First define the application, airflow, pressure and medium condition.

A

Application

Workshop ventilation, dust collection, boiler draft, tunnel ventilation, chemical exhaust or process air.

Q

Airflow

Required air volume in m³/h, based on process demand, hood size, room volume or existing equipment.

P

Pressure

Static or total pressure after duct, elbow, damper, collector and filter resistance are included.

M

Medium

Clean air, dust, hot gas, acid mist, humid gas or flammable gas determine the construction direction.

Quick Selection Path

Use this sequence to organize the inquiry. Complete information helps QIYUE FAN check the preliminary fan direction faster.

STEP 1

Describe the Site

Tell us where the fan will be used, what process it serves and what problem it needs to solve.

STEP 2

Send Key Data

Airflow, pressure, temperature, medium, duct layout and operating time are the core selection data.

STEP 3

Match Fan Type

Review whether a centrifugal, axial, boiler, dust collection, mine or corrosion-resistant fan is suitable.

STEP 4

Confirm Quotation

After the technical direction is clear, confirm model, motor, material, drive, outlet direction, quantity and delivery requirements.
