La variation de la puissance dépend essentiellement du type du ventilateur : La puissance absorbée par un ventilateur centrifuge croît avec le débit, lentement si les pales de la turbine sont couchées en arrière, rapidement si elles sont radiales ou couchées en avant. [...] La courbe de puissance absorbée par un ventilateur hélicoïde varie essentiellement suivant les caractéristiques de l'hélice [...] 3, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20puissance

Advantages of the FC [forward curve centrifugal] fan are low cost, slow speed which minimizes shaft and bearing size, and wide operating range. The disadvantages are the shape of its performance curve which allows the possibility of paralleling, and an overloading horsepower curve. 1, record 2, English, - overloading%20horsepower%20curve
