We call regular computer fans "axial fan" as official design name. What's the official name for a blower type of fan, like used on old reference graphic cards or in laptops, but much much wider? For example reference blower fan on graphic cards is like 3 or 4cm tall. How are same design fans called, but lets say 10 or 15cm tall? That would be still a blower type, but the actual fan would be like a barrel or cylinder. Or take a fan shape from wall mounted AC unit in rooms. Or those tall and slim room heaters. What's the official name for those types of fans? I need to differentiate those specifically, because if I use term "blower fan" I just get bunch of laptop fans and basically nothing else. But I need the wide/tall variant instead.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
