CENTRIFUGAL FANS

AMCA Type C

Type C offers a minimal level of spark resistance and only requires that
possible contact between stationary and rotating components be reduced.

2 1 Typically, this construction includes the use of an aluminum inlet cone and
an aluminum rub ring. The aluminum inlet cone will be the first point of
fan wheel contact if there is a mechanical failure. The aluminum rub ring
placed at the opening of the housing where the shaft passes, protects
against contact of the steel fan shaft and steel fan housing.
