Hi,

How would you select an axial flow fan of desired frame for automotive radiator application from the market ? Obviously we will select the best performing fan.When you don't get performance parameters such as flow rate,pressure etc from vendor how would you choose the fan from fan blades profile,apperance etc...

An axial flow fan, as the name indicates moves the air/gas parallel to the axis of rotation. Comparing it with the radial or centrifugal flow fans move the air in perpendicular direction to the axis of rotation. The axial flow fans are more suitable for high flow and low resistance applications, while the other fans are simply appropriate to the opposite conditions– low flow and high pressure resistance. The axial flow fans vary in terms of operating features depending upon the blade shape and width along with the tip speed and number of blades in it. These are typically used to cool systems and machines like spot cooling and area ventilation.

Seems obvious, but usually the price tag should also be considered

...choose different vendor. It is their job to tell you what their product does.
