Axial fans are like a propeller - like most domestic fans. Centrifugal fans are like water or paddle wheeels that sit inside a case. Instead of water turning them, the wheel is driven by the motor and that moves the gas. In-line merely means that the fan sits in the gas flow.

What is difference between axial flow and centrifugal LVAD?

Axial flow LVADs have a propeller-like rotor that spins along the device's long axis to propel blood forward, while centrifugal flow LVADs use a rotating impeller to draw blood into the device and then expel it outward. Centrifugal flow LVADs are generally more compact and have fewer moving parts compared to axial flow LVADs.


What advantages do centrifugal fans have over axial fans?

Centrifugal fans have several advantages over axial fans. They produce more pressure for a given air volume, and do not require an exterior wall like axial fans doo.


What is the difference of an axial flow and centrifugal compressor?

The centrifugal flow compressor has a single or two stage unit using an impeller. The axial flow compressor is a multi-stage unit using alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and stationary (stator) vanes.


The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?

the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.

What is the difference between axial bearing and radial bearing?

Why is the pressure ratio higher in a centrifugal compressor than an axial compressor?

There is a substantial increase in radius across the rotating blade rows of a centrifugal compressor, which is its primary distinguishing feature from the axial-flow compressors to get higher-pressure ratio. Who says the compression ratio on a centrifugal is higher than that of a screw compressor? Unless I`m not properly understanding the question, these facts are true: a screw (axial) compressor is a positive displacement machine, meaning everything that goes into it will come out. There are no losses for re-expansion etc. A centrifugal compressor`s impeller is designed with a given amount of `lift` which is basically the difference between suction and discharge pressures or compression ratio. Exceeding the designed lift capability results in a surge where the gas momentarily goes backwards through the impeller until the excess lift condition is corrected.
