FIGURE 15.14 Total efficiency �t-V˙ curves for axial fans with the same<br />

impeller diameter.<br />

Figure 15.13 shows the pressure-volume flow �pt-V˙ curves for various types <strong>of</strong> axial fans with impellers<br />

<strong>of</strong> the same diameter. Among these fans, the propeller fan has a low fan total pressure �pt <strong>and</strong> a high volume flow rate V˙ , whereas the tube-axial fan has a higher �pt <strong>and</strong> the vane-axial has<br />

the highest �pt. FIGURE 15.15 Fan power P-V˙<br />
