How to select an axial fan?

How to select an axial fan? Generally, it is based on the information provided by  the Axial flow fan manufacturer to customers for selection. The common selection of a cooling fan can be determined according to the following requirements:

1. Size: The first step is to determine the size of the axial fan, usually expressed in millimeters (mm). Common sizes include 80mm, 120mm, 140mm, etc. When selecting the size of the axial flow fan, it is necessary to consider the space inside the chassis and other devices, as well as the required heat dissipation effect.

2. Air volume: Air volume refers to the amount of air flow generated by a fan per unit time, usually measured in cubic meters per hour (m ³/ h) Or cubic feet per minute (CFM). The larger the air volume, the better the heat dissipation effect generated by the Axial flow fan.

3. Noise: The noise of axial fans is a very important consideration for some applications that require a quiet environment. Generally speaking, the noise level of a fan is expressed in decibels (dB), with lower decibels indicating lower fan noise.

4. Rated voltage and power consumption: It is important to understand the rated voltage and power consumption of axial fans, which helps to ensure that they are compatible with your computer hardware or other devices.

5. Type: According to different application scenarios and requirements, axial fans can be divided into static pressure fans, high air flow fans, silent fans, waterproof fans, etc. Static pressure fans are suitable for applications with high heat dissipation requirements, high airflow fans are suitable for scenarios that require a large amount of air flow, and silent fans focus on reducing fan noise. Waterproof fans are suitable for outdoor and humid environments.

When selecting a cooling fan, timely communication with the personnel of the axial fan manufacturer can greatly improve the selection efficiency and also allow the manufacturer to share usage cases to obtain more information.
