AC fans (Alternating Current Fans) are thermal management devices powered by AC electricity, primarily used to dissipate heat in electronic and mechanical systems. Operating on standard voltages (100-240V AC), they ensure optimal performance by maintaining safe temperature thresholds. Their importance has grown exponentially with advancements in high-power electronics, data centers, and industrial automation, where efficient thermal regulation prevents system failures and extends component lifespans.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Axial Fans | High airflow, low-pressure operation, compact design | Computer cooling, HVAC systems |
| Centrifugal Fans | High-pressure output, compact radial airflow | Industrial ovens, dust extraction systems |
| Tube Axial Fans | Intermediate pressure, direct-drive efficiency | Air conditioning units, refrigeration systems |
| Vane Axial Fans | Enhanced aerodynamic stability, adjustable blades | Power plants, large-scale ventilation |
AC fans typically consist of: - Motor: Single-phase/three-phase induction motor with capacitor start - Blade Assembly: Plastic/metal blades optimized for aerodynamic efficiency - Bearing System: Ball bearings or sleeve bearings for durability - Frame: Metal/plastic housing with mounting brackets - Control Interface: Optional speed controllers or temperature sensors
