Axial fans have a wide range of applications, as they involve airflow moving in the same direction as the shaft of the fan blades, such as in electric fans and outdoor unit fans for air conditioners. They are called "axial" because the gas flows parallel to the fan's shaft. Axial fans are typically used in situations where high flow rates are required but low pressure is needed. They are fixed in place and move the air. Axial fans are mainly composed of the fan impeller and housing, with a simple structure but high data requirements.
