Industrial fans are typically used in fields or fields that require exhaust purification, ventilation, drying, cooling, dust removal, and more. Thus, as a whole, commercial blowers are used in the construction, steel and mining, power generation, food processing, petrochemical, cement manufacturing, transportation and automotive exhaust applications, cooling and heating industries. These fans are used in industrial heating, airflow and air conditioning (A/C) systems, drying equipment, temperature control equipment, fume extraction equipment, exhaust stacks and more. The scope of application of industrial blowers is not limited to this. Their specifications and capabilities also vary widely due to their enhanced use in a range of applications. . This article covers all of these variables needed for commercial blowers and their applications and selecting the ideal industrial blower.
Industrial fan introduction
Axial fan
In an axial fan, the blades extend radially outward and the air is also repositioned parallel to the command of the axis of rotation of the fan wheel. With the help of the blades, the air rotates from the main indicated circumference. When the fan blades are pushed out, the air pressure is created by aerodynamics. DC axial fans have a compact design and are more suitable for low pressure applications. They can be suitably used for tiny exhaust applications with a certain amount of air, dirt or fumes.
Industrial Axial Fan Applications:
-
Air conditioning and refrigeration
-
Fresh air supply and airflow
-
Exhaust
-
One-way airflow applications
Important Considerations When Choosing an Application-Centric Industrial Fan
Below are some standard aspects to consider when selecting or purchasing a fan for a specific industrial application.
Centrifugal fan
These fans use centrifugal force to blow air or gas and have rotating impellers. They have a rotating disk that generates centrifugal force by rotating blades. They have wheels that trap the air and blades that push the air according to the best instructions. Once the wheel traps air inside the estate, it is expelled by the blades at a 90-degree angle and moves out of the housing. The impeller squeezes air radially outward and then tangentially away from the blades. The velocity of the blown air is nearing its end, triggering a pressure rise. Therefore, these fans are suitable for high voltage applications. They are designed to be rugged and built to withstand extreme business environments, polluted air, humidity, and more.
Depending on the application, there are 2 most typical types of centrifugal blowers:
Pressure Fans: These are used to expel air at high pressure.
Positive Displacement Fans: These fans push and expel large volumes of air with reduced fixed pressure.
Application of Industrial Fan
Centrifugal blowers have different applications in different industries. Here are some applications of industrial blowers:
-
Network web server
-
Telecommunication systems
-
Dirt collection mechanism
-
Exhaust and air conditioning
-
Filtration and suction
Factors in choosing an industrial fan
Due to the wide range of applications for industrial fans, a preliminary examination of the application requirements is necessary. Learn about the application and analyze the list of factors below before choosing.
-
Available rooms
-
Atmospheric pressure required
-
Operating environment
Fan type
There are different types of commercial fans. Radial blowers, centrifugal blowers, etc. are common types of blowers. Nonetheless, each type of blower will perform differently depending on the application and environment. Therefore, choose a fan based on the area and resources provided and the desired end result. This may include considering the type of blade, the alignment of the blade, etc.
Power usage
It is often recommended to purchase industrial fans that reduce power intake. This helps save electricity bills and improves the overall efficiency of the blower system. Choosing an efficient industrial blower should reduce power intake and achieve high output.
Remember: A fan grid is required to reduce power intake and improve the performance of these blowers.
Output air pressure
Blowers typically increase the pressure of output air compared to input air. The output atmospheric pressure will definitely affect commercial operations such as venting and drying. Therefore, it is necessary to select a fan with the required air pressure.
Output Air Volume/Flow: Flow is the amount of resulting air. It is also called throughput. However, flow should always be considered by determining the preferred location for air exposure.
Sound and resonance
Fans are mechanical devices and are therefore susceptible to internal and external sound and vibration. These factors affect the efficiency and resiliency of industrial blowers. This is why you need to choose a fan with low noise and high resonance resistance.
Maintenance
In electromechanical systems such as commercial fans, low noise, resonance, etc. are unavoidable. In addition, factors such as harsh ecological conditions, heat generation and external impact forces can also cause damage to the blower. Always choose the blower that requires the least maintenance and repairs. Low maintenance also reduces the overall price of owning a blower.
Conclusion
Depending on the industrial application and the input and output of air and gas, these fans can generally be divided into centrifugal and axial fans. Regardless of the type, these fans always feature solid spaces that protect the blades from dust, microbes, moisture and various other contaminants. Centrifugal fans are made of high-quality stainless steel or plastic and are used in various fields.
If you are an OEM or production unit and plan to install commercial fans for any type of related purpose, make sure you source from reliable and qualified manufacturers and distributors. Also, choose a supplier who clearly understands your requirements and can customize fans to your requirements. Langdi designs, develops and manufactures a wide range of industrial fans and offers custom integrated cooling options to meet your needs.
