Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics: Fans, Blowers and Compressors

DiD yOu KnOw?

The real purpose of fans is to accelerate the speed of air?

People use fan everyday to relieve themselves from the heat of the sun.  But the main purpose of fans is to accelerate the speed of air. It is used to transfer air from one place to another. In industrial use, like pumps which is used to supply pressure to transfer liquid, fans, blowers and compressors are used to provide pressure to air. 

COMPRESSORS



BLOWERS



 FANS


The images above are examples of a compressor, a blower and a fan. Each of these things have the same purpose, to accelerate the speed of of air. Each picture is made to be more complex. The simplest of the three is the fan. In order to accelerate the speed of the air, each should provide pressure to push the air. The compressor has the highest pressure then the blower and followed by the fan.
