Centrifugal fans are enclosed in a scroll-shaped housing, which is designed for efficient airstream energy transfer. This type of fan has the most versatility and low first cost and is the workhorse of the industry. Impeller blades may be radial, forward-curved, backward-inclined, or airfoil. When large volumes of air are moved, airfoil or backward-inclined blades are preferable because of higher efficiencies. For smaller volumes of air, forward-curved blades are used with satisfactory results.
