Double inlet centrifugal blower

Efficient Airflow with a Double Inlet Centrifugal Blower

A double inlet centrifugal blower helps maintain steady airflow in demanding industrial environments. Its design draws air from both sides of the impeller, creating balanced performance and reducing vibration. This setup supports large volumes of air movement without sacrificing stability or efficiency, making it a practical choice for ventilation systems, process cooling, and air handling units.

Why a Double Inlet Design Matters

Unlike single inlet models, a double inlet centrifugal blower distributes air evenly across both sides of the impeller. This symmetry balances axial loads on the shaft and extends bearing life. The result is smoother operation, lower noise levels, and improved reliability over long duty cycles. Industries that rely on consistent airflow, such as cement, steel, chemical, and power generation, often prefer this configuration for its durability and performance.
