15" Fans | McMaster-Carr

Measured in decibels (dB), volume ratings indicate how much noise equipment makes. Some common volume levels include a whisper @ 20 dB, a refrigerator @ 40 dB, a conversation @ 60 dB, and a light machine shop @ 90 dB. OSHA recommends hearing protection for exposure to 80 dB and greater.

Light Duty Direct-Drive Wall-Mount Exhaust Fans with Louvers

These light duty fans are designed for use without duct. They come complete with a movable-blade louver. The louvers are gravity operated so they open only when air flows through them, which prevents backdrafts. Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance. Use these fans to draw stagnant and humid air out of a room or area. All have a totally enclosed motor enclosure, which can be used in dirty, dusty, and damp environments.

Portable Blowers

Powerful enough for use with flexible duct, yet light enough to carry from job to job. Use these blowers for equipment cooling, material conveying, drying, ventilating, and exhausting. Blowers have a totally enclosed motor enclosure, which can be used in dirty, dusty, and damp environments.

High-Flow Low-Pressure Compressed Air Blowers

Also known as regenerative blowers, use these to produce high-flow compressed air with low pressure or vacuum to operate pump drives, lift tables, and conveying systems. Compressed air blowers are also used for drying, exhausting, and aeration.

Air circulates inside the blower housing to compress air, which generates pressure or vacuum. Single-stage blowers circulate air once and then exhaust. Two-stage blowers circulate air twice and then exhaust, creating higher pressure or vacuum than single-stage blowers with the same horsepower.

Inverter-rated blowers have a motor that can run at slow speeds without overheating, so they can be used with a motor speed control (variable frequency drive).
