Industrial Fan Selection

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.

Operating Point
Q
AIRFLOW
How much air the process needs to move.
 
P
PRESSURE
How much system resistance the fan must overcome.
 
M
MEDIUM
Clean air, dust, hot gas or corrosive gas.
 
Q + P + Working Condition
= Fan Operating Point
Selection Foundation

Four Values That Define the Fan Direction

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

01

Application

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

02

Airflow

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

03

Pressure

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

04

Medium

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

Quick Selection Path

From Site Information to Final Quotation

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

01

Describe the Site

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

02

Send Key Data

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

03

Match Fan Type

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

04

Confirm Quotation

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

Engineering Selection Guides

Calculate the Operating Point Before Selecting the Model

Use these guides to confirm airflow, pressure definition, performance curve, power, rotational speed, drive arrangement and outlet direction.

Missing Some Parameters?

Start from the Information You Already Have

QIYUE FAN can review the possible direction before detailed confirmation.

01 Site photos
02 Old fan model or nameplate
03 Duct sketch and dimensions
04 Existing fan drawing
05 Working-condition description
06 Required quantity and destination
Existing Fan Replacement

Start with the Evidence You Already Have

Complete original data is helpful, but it is not always available. Use the evidence from the existing fan to begin the replacement review, then confirm operating duty and installation interfaces before final selection.
