Can I select a fan using motor power alone?
Motor power alone is insufficient. Fans with the same power can operate at different airflow and pressure points; review the performance curve and process conditions together.
FAN SELECTION GUIDE
Industrial fan types and selecting the right fan
Assess fans for ventilation, extraction, drying and process air using airflow, pressure and operating conditions. Explore Yurtfan product families and the steps involved in selection.
Which fan family should you explore?
This comparison helps you find a product family. The final model is selected by checking pressure at the required airflow and the actual operating conditions.
| Product family | Series | Application context |
|---|---|---|
| Low-pressure centrifugal fans | YRD 160 · YRD 120 · YHF | General ventilation and high-airflow process applications. |
| Medium-pressure fans | YRD 80 · YRO 50 | Industrial ventilation and process air. |
| High-pressure fans | YRO 40 · YRY 36 | Applications requiring higher system pressure. |
| Material-handling fans | YMN | Assessed together with conveyed material and process conditions. |
| Axial fans | YA · YAK | Ventilation applications using axial airflow. |
| Roof fans | YSE · YÇ | Roof-mounted ventilation applications. |
| Silo aeration fans | YSO · YSH | Fan families for silo aeration requirements. |
Assess airflow, pressure and operating conditions together
Airflow is the required volume of air, while pressure describes what the fan must provide to overcome system resistance. Changes to ductwork or filters can change the required operating point.
The Yurtfan selection tool uses catalogue curves for 182 models across 8 centrifugal fan series. Enter airflow, pressure, altitude and temperature for preliminary selection. For axial, roof and silo fans, review the relevant product table and share your application details.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Preparing the following information helps us assess your application and the appropriate product family. If a value is unavailable, describe the existing installation rather than guessing.
- Required airflow (m³/h) and system pressure (Pa), or a description of the application if these are not yet known.
- Process temperature, site altitude and operating schedule.
- Properties of the air or conveyed material, including dust type and moisture where relevant.
- Existing fan nameplate, duct dimensions, a layout sketch and relevant photographs.
Frequently asked questions
What is needed to replace an existing fan?
The fan nameplate, available airflow and pressure data, operating temperature, duct dimensions and the reason for replacement help with assessment.
Is the tool result a final product recommendation?
The tool provides preliminary selection. Yurtfan engineers assess the final model and motor against the system resistance curve and application conditions.
