Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 252 consists of a radial fan driven by an electric motor with adjustable speed control. Transparent intake and delivery pipes provide stable and observable flow conditions. Airflow is regulated using a throttle valve at the end of the delivery pipe. Two interchangeable impellers, one with forward-curved blades and one with rear-curved blades, allow comparison of fan performance under different blade geometries. Integrated measuring transducers capture pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and rotational speed for comprehensive performance evaluation.
