Axial vs. Centrifugal Fans: Which Should You Choose?
Overview
High airflow or higher static pressure? The right cooling fan depends on how air must move through your design. Axial fans are well suited for open airflow paths, while centrifugal fans direct air at a 90-degree angle and perform better against resistance from heat sinks, ducts, vents, and compact enclosures. See how each fan type works and where it fits within an effective thermal management system.
