Industrial fans are widely used in industries to provide ventilation. For supporting the processes in industries and for human health industrial fans are critical. The performance of industrial fans varies according to their type which ranges from the airflow of few cubic feet per minute to more than 1 million cubic feet per minute.
Plant operations depend on fans therefore fan reliability is important for industries. For example, fan failure in material handling applications will immediately create a process stoppage. Although there is often enough time to bring the process to an orderly stoppage, fan failure in industrial ventilation applications often forces a process to be shut down. Even in shop ventilation, boiler, heating, and cooling applications, fan failure leads to conditions in which worker productivity and product quality decline. For example, in plastics injection molding and electronic component manufacturing air cleanliness is critical to minimizing production defects, this is true for some production applications where air cleanliness is required.
Production of the plant is significantly impacted by fan operation. System designers design fan systems conservatively understanding the importance of fan reliability. There are primarily two types of fans which are centrifugal and axial, they are characterized by the path of airflow. Centrifugal fans can be used in dirty air streams (high moisture and particulate content), material handling, and systems at higher temperatures. Axial fans are frequently used in clean air, low pressure, and high volume applications.
The primary purpose of industrial fans is to provide a continuous large flow of air or gas to the various process of industries by blowing cold air and driving hot air out of the environment. Industrial fans are used for multiple purposes in industries and offer many benefits due to their advanced features and excellent designs. Some of their purposes are cooling, exhaust, air cleaning, combustion, ventilation, aeration, particulate transport, and drying
For these purposes, fans serve various industries including electric power production, pollution control, metal manufacturing and processing, cement production, mining, petrochemical, food processing, cryogenics, clean rooms, etc. Industrial fans are designed to meet environmental and ambient requirements, they are manufactured by heavy-duty materials and components to operate longer and to supply greater airflow and pressure. To produce a large volume of air and low pressure, industrial cooling fans have a large diameter.
Industrial fans offer variable output at very small input energy. They offer ventilation which leads to the reduction of dust and pollutants from the area and creates a safe working environment, they are also used for de-dusting applications. Industrial fans are used for temperature control, for example in HVAC systems. The hot exhaust gases, temperature, moisture, pollutants, smoke, unpleasant odors, harmful gases, harmful fumes, stale and contaminated air are removed from an area and fresh air is circulated using a fan. Industrial fans are necessary for some industries where they reduce high heat levels and prevent air stagnation, using air conditioners for this purpose is too expensive. Needless to say, the utilization of industrial fans will ensure the protection of the health of thousands of workers and customers. Industrial fans come in a wide variety of styles and functions. While selecting an industrial fan evaluate pressure levels and surface areas of the area to be affected, environmental conditions, and utility you need to provide.
