This is like Ben Bernanke speaks. Say something as if nothing is spoken. I do not know whether I understand. Air flow depends on the diameter of the fan, speed of rotation. The pitch may make a difference but I am not a scientist. Personally, I think they should be compatible and I would evaluate it on price. My 2 cents.
