Axial fans are designed for high volume, low pressure air movement in manufacturing and industrial facilities. When large amounts of air must be moved efficiently through open spaces, wall penetrations, or short duct runs, axial configurations are often the correct solution.
Air Solutions specifies axial fans based on airflow requirements, temperature conditions, and installation constraints to ensure dependable performance in industrial environments.
What is the Performance Range of Axial Fans?
Axial fans are commonly selected for applications where high CFM is required with lower static pressure resistance.
Typical performance capabilities include:
- Airflow capacity up to 175,000 CFM
- Static pressure capability up to 12 inches SPWG
- Standard air stream temperature ratings up to 375 F, with select models available for higher temperatures – up to 850 F
- Belt drive and direct drive configurations
- Construction in cast aluminum, heavy duty steel, and stainless steel
Final performance depends on model selection and application conditions.
Where Are Axial Fans Commonly Used?
Axial fans support a broad range of industrial ventilation and air movement applications, including:
- General plant ventilation
- Wall mounted exhaust systems
- Roof mounted ventilators
- Tube axial inline duct applications
- Personnel cooling stations
- Process cooling where static pressure requirements are limited
Because axial fans move air parallel to the shaft, they are well suited for large volume air movement with minimal resistance.
What Should Be Considered When Selecting an Axial Fan?
Correct axial fan selection depends on more than airflow alone.
Key evaluation factors include:
- Required airflow volume in CFM
- System resistance and allowable static pressure
- Maximum air stream temperature
- Mounting configuration, wall, roof, duct, or pedestal
- Preferred drive type for maintenance access
- Environmental exposure, including corrosion or spark resistant requirements
We review your layout and ventilation goals before recommending a model. Installation is handled by qualified contractors, and we coordinate on drawings and startup guidance.

Available configurations may include tube axial fans, panel fans, industrial wall exhaust units, roof ventilators, and personnel coolers depending on the manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions About Axial Fans
How do axial fans differ from centrifugal fans?
Axial fans move high volumes of air at lower static pressure. Centrifugal fans are typically used when higher pressure is required to overcome duct resistance.
Can axial fans handle elevated temperatures?
Yes. Standard models are available up to 375 F, with select configurations designed for higher temperature applications – up to 850 F.
Are corrosion resistant options available?
Yes. Stainless steel and coated constructions are available when required by the environment.
Can an axial fan replace an existing wall exhaust unit?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate dimensional and performance data to recommend compatible replacements.
