Features & Benefits

Why International OEMs Specify Delco

Our backward curved fans are tailored to satisfy international efficiency standards, reducing power consumption while increasing system airflow.

High Static Efficiency

Curved blade geometry converts rotational velocity into static pressure efficiently, overcoming duct, filter, and plenum resistance.

Non-Overloading Power

Unlike forward-curved blowers, power draw peaks safely, preventing motor burnout during sudden drops in static resistance.

Quiet & Smooth Duty

In-house dynamic balancing minimizes vibration levels, ensuring whisper-quiet operation in sensitive medical and commercial spaces.

Compact Space Saving

The integrated external rotor structure places the motor inside the impeller hub, dramatically decreasing system cabinet footprint.

Speed Controllable

Compatible with voltage regulation, TRIAC, or frequency drives to allow precise volumetric airflow adjustments.

In-House Tooling & Testing

Manufactured and tested entirely in-house at our Thane facility, ensuring strict quality control and repeatable batch consistency.

OEM Applications

Where Backward Curved Fans Deliver Value

Engineered for clean air handling systems, industrial machinery, and HVAC equipment operating under continuous duty.

HVAC & Air Handling Units (AHUs)

Ideal for supply and return air circulation, fan coils, rooftop units, and ducted commercial ventilation.

Cleanrooms & Fan Filter Units (FFUs)

Delivers steady pressure required to overcome HEPA/ULPA filter resistance while maintaining strict noise limits.

Industrial Electronics Cooling

Protects power cabinets, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and telecommunications shelters from heat accumulation.

Heat Exchangers & Process Drying

Pushes uniform airflow across cooling coils, industrial heat exchangers, process ovens, and de-humidification lines.

Technical FAQ

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Direct answers from Delco's engineering desk for international equipment manufacturers.

Backward curved centrifugal fans offer high static efficiency, non-overloading power curves, stable static pressure development, and minimal aerodynamic noise. Their design makes them far more energy-efficient than forward-curved alternatives when working against higher system pressures.
Yes. Built with high-grade Class F/H insulated copper windings, permanently lubricated ball bearings, and automatic thermal overload protection, Delco backward curved fans are rated for continuous 24/7 service in industrial and commercial environments.
Delco produces backward curved impellers ranging from 133mm ø to 400mm ø. We provide options for single-phase or three-phase voltages, custom inlet ring dimensions, specialized lead wire terminations, and tailored mounting brackets.
These fans are extensively specified in Air Handling Units (AHUs), cleanroom Fan Filter Units (FFUs), industrial air filtration systems, server rack cooling, process ventilation, and commercial heat recovery ventilation systems.
