Choosing the right blowers and fans for air conditioning systems, especially for refrigerated transport, is crucial for effective and reliable cooling. SPAL brand fans are valued in the market for their numerous advantages.
While fans and blowers serve the same purpose—moving air—the differences lie in their design, functionality, and application.
Fans typically have a simple design with an impeller consisting of multiple blades mounted on a central axial motor. They operate on the principle of generating a linear airflow, enabling effective cooling and ventilation of large spaces.
Blowers have a complex design with an impeller that can have various shapes, such as forward- or backward-curved blades, within a housing. Blowers are designed to increase air pressure, allowing air to be moved over greater distances and overcome resistance in ventilation systems.
Considering pressure and airflow, the fan generates high airflow at relatively low pressure. Therefore, it is used in rooms and devices where air circulation is important.
The blower, on the other hand, produces a lower air flow at a higher pressure. It is more suitable for applications where air must be moved through high-resistance systems, such as air ducts, filter systems, or pneumatic devices.
Applications of fans
Spal fans are designed to provide efficient cooling and ventilation in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Their main functions are:
- Engine cooling: Spal fans are designed to effectively dissipate heat from internal combustion engines, which is critical for their performance and durability. Cooling prevents the engine from overheating, which could lead to failure and damage.
- Improving the efficiency of air conditioning systems : Spal fans are used in air conditioning systems for vehicles and buildings to improve airflow through condensers and evaporators, increase cooling efficiency and improve thermal comfort.
- Cooling of electronic components: Modern vehicles and electronic devices require efficient cooling of electronic components such as power converters, inverters, batteries, and other components. Spal fans ensure that these components maintain a safe operating temperature.
- Increasing the reliability and durability of machines: For many industrial machines and specialty vehicles, such as construction, agricultural, and military equipment, adequate cooling is crucial to their reliability and service life.
- Improving user comfort : In vehicles transporting people or animals, Spal fans help maintain a comfortable temperature in the cabin, which is important for the health and well-being of both people and animals.
- Adaptation to specific applications: Spal fans are designed for use in a wide variety of specialized equipment that requires specific cooling and ventilation conditions, such as racing cars, animal transporters, medical equipment, and much more.
Industries in which fans can be used
Our shop successfully supplies SPAL products to many industries:
- Automotive industry: Spal fans and blowers help with engine cooling and air conditioning in cars, vans, trucks, and 4x4s. In off-road vehicles and SUVs operating in harsh conditions, Spal fans are used to cool engines, transmissions, and other components.
- Construction industry: In construction machinery such as excavators and loaders, Spal fans are used to cool engines and other hydraulic systems.
- Agricultural industry: Spal fans are used to cool engines in agricultural machinery such as tractors and harvesters. In addition, SPAL fans and blowers ensure the right heat and ventilation conditions in vehicles used for horse transport, livestock transport, or veterinary transport, preventing the animals from overheating and ensuring comfortable transport.
In addition, Spal fans are used in special vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances, military vehicles, mining equipment and other vehicles that require a reliable cooling system under extreme working conditions.
