When choosing fans, many factors must be taken into account.

The two most common types of fans are axial and radial fans. It @Enerdes

Disadvantages are the high turbulence, which is bad for the

Radial fans are particularly suitable to displace air in over-
pressure situations and ensure a stable laminar air ow in a
