MECHANISM
Axial fans draw its name from the fact that they bow air across their axis in a linear direction. The
blades
of these fans force air to move parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. These types of fans
find its applications in a wide variety of mechanical and electrical gadgets. Sizes of these fans can
range
from a small cooling fan for electronics to a giant fan used in wind tunnels.
APPLICATION OF AN AXIAL FAN
With an increase in clock speed and power consumption of processors, graphic cards, RAM, and other
computer
components, there has also been an upsurge in heat production in the systems due to the normal
functioning
of these devices. However, these components are required to be kept under a specified temperature level
to
prevent overheating and leading to malfunction, and damage to systems. Fans are installed inside these
modern, high-speed components for active cooling purpose. Axial-flow fan is used to remove heated air
away
from the components and to draw cooler air over them, thereby saving computers and its components from
any
damage.
