while perusing the electric fan options in the jegs catalog, something peculiar caught my attention. now for an 'apples-to-apples' comparison i'm going to use flex-a-lite as my example, assuming the motor and shroud is the same.
jegs lists the following:
16" puller, rated at 2500cfm, 18.5 amps straight blade design.....list price: $143.99
16" puller, rated at 2010cfm, 13 amps "syclone" curved blade design.....list price: $114.99
so my question is, why even make the curved blade design if they are apparently less efficient than a straight blade design?
now personally, i see how the curved blade would actually be more efficient but if their cfm and amp data is accurate, it contradicts my theory, and the curved blade is less efficient. so why would they even offer such a thing? just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
any theories?
