RAFAVENT RF-CB-SI SERIES

Backward-Curved Single-Inlet Centrifugal Fans — Technical Selection Data

Single-width, single-inlet centrifugal fans with backward-curved impellers for ducted industrial ventilation, filtration and process-air duties.

RAFAVENT Engineering Calculation — Preliminary Selection — Non-Certified. Values are calculated at standard air density 1.20 kg/m³ using fan-law scaling and engineering assumptions. They are not laboratory-certified ratings. Airflow, pressure, power and sound values are not simultaneous guarantees. Final selection requires a confirmed duty point, arrangement and approved production drawing.

Construction and application

  • Welded or formed steel scroll casing with single inlet and backward-curved steel impeller.
  • Impeller production balancing and vibration acceptance are required before dispatch.
  • Direct drive is the preliminary basis through size 630; larger sizes use belt or project-engineered drive selection.
  • Three-phase IEC motor basis, IP55 and Class F specification subject to the approved motor datasheet.
  • Clean or lightly dust-laden non-corrosive air, preliminary ambient duty −20 to +50 °C. No ATEX, smoke or high-temperature certification is claimed.
  • Diameter 1600 is available only as custom manufacturing capability after engineering review; it is not part of this standard model series.

Recommended flow and pressure ranges define an intended preliminary selection envelope; they are not opposite corners of a guaranteed duty point. Estimated free-field A-weighted sound pressure at 3 m has ±6 dB(A) uncertainty before duct, reflection, inlet, outlet, guard, silencer and system effects.

Selection requirements

Confirm airflow, static pressure, inlet density, temperature, conveyed-air composition, arrangement, rotation and discharge position, drive type, voltage, control method, corrosion class, permissible sound level, access space and accessories before order.

Technical documents, dimensions and service

Technical documents and dimensions

Final dimensions, connection details, materials, motor data and project drawings are issued for the selected configuration after engineering review.

Installation and maintenance

Provide level support, flexible connections, guarded drive components, alignment checks and safe maintenance access. Follow the approved project-specific O&M document.

Selection tables and calculated curves on this page are preliminary engineering guidance, not certified RAFAVENT test ratings. Confirm the operating point and controlled documents before order.

Information required before selection

  • Required airflow and static pressure
  • Operating temperature and conveyed-air composition
  • Installation orientation, space and connection details
  • Electrical supply, control method and duty pattern
  • Sound, material and environmental constraints
