About this asset

This Revit family of a centrifugal fan features parametric controls for housing dimensions and radius in a compact steel form. The component represents a centrifugal fan assembly, commonly used in industrial and commercial HVAC systems. It consists of a robust metal housing with integrated mounting flanges for structural attachment to ductwork or equipment platforms. The geometry is defined by clear, parametric reference planes, allowing for adjustments to the height, width, and radius of the blower intake and casing. The design prioritises functional efficiency and clear connection points, stripping away non-essential decorative elements to focus on the technical requirements of mechanical coordination and spatial clearance within a building services model.

The download is a 276 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit project as mechanical equipment. The family includes defined reference planes that allow for rapid resizing of the housing to match specific airflow requirements. By utilising the type parameters, engineers can adjust the height and radius dimensions to align the unit with existing duct paths. It is best practice to assign this component to the appropriate mechanical sub-category and ensure that connector elements are mapped for system flow calculations.

This asset is intended for use in mechanical rooms, plant areas, or roof-mounted HVAC enclosures across industrial, office, and healthcare projects. It provides a reliable placeholder during the design development stage, ensuring that spatial requirements for air handling equipment are accurately represented. Professionals working on building information modelling will find it useful for clash detection and coordination between MEP services and structural steelwork, particularly when designing ventilation systems that require specific centrifugal blower footprints for air extraction or supply.
