The document discusses three types of centrifugal fans: radial fans which have high pressure and temperature capabilities and simple designs, forward curved fans which move large air volumes at low pressure but are not for high pressure use, and backward-inclined fans which operate well with changing static pressure and have high efficiency but are not for dirty air.

Centrifugal Fans Radial fans
Advantages High pressure and temp Simple design High durability Efficiency up to 75% Large running clearances (Canadian Blower)
Disadvantages Suited for low/medium airflow rates only
UNEP 2006
Centrifugal Fans Forward curved
Advantages Large air volumes against low pressure Relative small size Low noise level Disadvantages Not high pressure / harsh service Difficult to adjust fan output Careful driver selection Low energy efficiency 55-65%
Centrifugal Fans - Backward-inclined
Advantages Operates with changing static pressure Suited for high flow and forced draft services Efficiency >85% Disadvantages Not suited for dirty airstreams Instability and erosion risk
