Axial Fan Demonstration Unit
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9968
The Axial Fan Demonstration Unit (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9968) is a small-scale fan set-up for measuring the performance of an axial fan. The fan sits on a stainless steel plinth between transparent inlet and outlet ducts, so its construction can be seen, and a calibrated orifice plate on the discharge measures the air flow. JaincoLab supplies this axial fan demonstration unit to engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics and turbomachinery practicals.
Specifications
The listed ratings are a maximum flow of 38 l/s (typical), a maximum head of 0.06 kPa, a maximum fan speed of 2700 rpm and a 5 W motor rating; fan speed is set by a modulated DC supply with current sensing, and a manual aperture varies the flow.

Applications of the axial fan demonstration unit
The axial fan demonstration unit lets students throttle the fan with the aperture and record pressure, flow, speed and power, so they can plot the fan characteristic and compare an axial fan with a centrifugal fan in turbomachinery practicals.
- Plotting the pressure-flow characteristic of an axial fan
- Measuring fan power from the DC supply current
- Studying the effect of fan speed on performance
- Comparing axial and centrifugal fan performance
