What is the purpose of the blower in a fan?

The blower in a fan is responsible for generating airflow by pulling or pushing air through the fan. It helps to circulate air in a room, cool equipment, or exhaust stale air. The blower creates the pressure difference needed to move air efficiently.


What's the difference between blower and fan?

A blower is typically designed to move air at a higher pressure than a fan, making it more suitable for applications such as blowing debris or inflating objects. A fan, on the other hand, is designed to move air at a lower pressure and is commonly used for cooling or ventilation purposes.


What will happen if compressor is started with condenser fan switched off?

If the condenser fan is switched off while the compressor is running, the heat transfer process in the condenser will be disrupted. This can lead to the compressor overheating, reduced efficiency, and potentially a system failure due to high pressure build-up. It is important for both the compressor and condenser fan to operate properly for the air conditioning system to function effectively.


What is difference between free and forced convection?

free convection : the transfer of heat resulting from differences in density of air, that thereby causes the flow of air. mechanical convection the transfer of heat resulting from a blower or fan that actively forces heated air throughout all areas


Why do you use capacitors on fan motors or blowers?

We use capacitor on fan motor or blower to create phase difference between two winding(Starting & running). This phase difference introduce starting torque on fan motor. Otherwise without capacitor the torque produced in positive Half cycle of AC supply is nullify by the torque produced in negative half cycle.

What is the difference between fan and blower in air-coolers?

Fan and blower are often used interchangeably and to many people the terms are synonymous.Often it is more of a regional preference,much like engine or motor when referring to an internal combustion engine.


Why your ac compressor clutch and fan do not work?

The compressor clutch could be for a number of reasons. It could be a defective compressor clutch, it could be a bad low pressure sensor, it could be low refrigerant, it could be a frayed wire on the low pressure sensor. Your fan, assuming you're talking about the blower motor, bad blower motor, bad blower motor resistor, bad relay(s)... those are your culprits.


What is wrong when Goodman home AC outside blower fan will not turn on but compressor does come on?

bad motor or capacitor


Why does fan blower not work and compressor clutch will not engage fuses look good?

i think these is not a proper question i do not know


When you turn the ac blower on your 96 Nissan maxima the fan does not blow at any speed but you can hear the ac compressor kicking in?

check the blower fuse if the fuse is good the blower motor is bad or else you have short


Your 2004 trail blazer ac blower fan continued to run after the engine is shut off and now the blower moter will not come on at all The compressor is working but the fan will not blow Any clues?

it probably a bad blower motor resistor, it's a very common problem on these vehicles


What is the difference between on and auto on a home thermostat?

On will turn the fan or blower on continuously and auto setting will kick off and on according to the temperature setting on the thermostat.


What the difference between ammonia compressor and air compressor?

the ammonia compressor differs slighlty from the air compressor in the fact that one uses a piston to create airable pressure frence while the outher uses a weighted fan atached to a fly wheel,eather would blow well


What would cause the AC compressor and blower fan to not turn on even with good fuses on a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo?

You may need to replace the heater\ac control switch, it may be stuck in the off position which would prevent the blower and the ac compressor from turning on.


Why does the indoor fan on your AC unit keep running after compressor stops?

The inside blower keep operating until it has used all of the cooling your compressor has done. it is the same on central heating. The fan keeps blowing until the heat changer is cooled.


What is the difference between a serpentine belt and a fan belt?

A serpentine belt is one belt that runs all engine accessories (i.e. power steering pump, ac compressor, water pump, AND fan). A fan belt runs the fan only.


Why does your air conditioner fan go on and off ford e250 van?

your air conditioner does not have a fan. you have a cooling fan, a blower motor for the passenger compartment, and a compressor clutch. i don't know which one your talking about. but if it is the electric fan for the cooling system behind the radiator then there is either an overheating issues, or a short causing the fan actuate. if it is a blower motor for the air vents. more than likely the blower motor or resistor is going bad. if it is the compressor clutch "fast cycling" then you are low on refrigerant and probably on your way to a really expensive repair.
