What’s your angle? That’s the basis for the operations of a centrifugal fan, moving air at a 90-degree angle between intake and outlet.
There’s more to a centrifugal fan than blade structure (versus axial) and function (to move process air and other materials as part of a larger system). How it works is all about the angle of the operation. Senior Application Engineer Chet White demonstrates how a centrifugal fan works in this 40-second video. Looking for more information?

So how does a centrifugal fan work? The “centrifugal” means that the air, or the incoming fluid to the fan, exits at a different angle to how it comes in. In a centrifugal fan, that angle is 90 degrees.
So you have an inlet right here, and so your intake - your duct - is connected to this, air is coming in, it enters the wheel through the center here, and it exits at 90 degrees to how it came in.
In this case, the one we’re looking at, it’s a top horizontal discharge, so it comes in this way, and it comes out towards me. This is how a centrifugal fan works.
