Features and Benefits This chart shows a typical NC level comparison between common vaneaxials, tubular centrifugals, airfoil ™ centrifugals and the Trane Model Q compact fan. The shaded area represents range of vaneaxials tested. Trane Model Q fans require up to 85 percent less cubic space than airfoil centrifugal fans and 40 percent less than common vaneaxials of equivalent installed sound level. Floor space savings can be as much as 65 percent when compared to the common vaneaxial and airfoil
