Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

Q&A on mining and industrial fans – types and application scenarios.

Q

What are the four purposes of ventilation?

Ventilation serves several objectives, but they can be grouped into four main purposes: supplying fresh air, removing contaminants, controlling temperature and managing humidity and odours. These purp
Q

Which type of fan is better?

There is no single fan type that is always better; the best fan for any job is the one that matches the required airflow, pressure, space, noise and environmental conditions. In most industrial and mi
Q

Why do fan motors burn out?

Fan motors usually burn out because they overheat for a long period of time. Heat damages the insulation on the windings, eventually causing short circuits or open circuits. In industrial and mining v
Q

Are axial fans loud?

Axial fans can be loud, but they do not have to be. Their noise level depends on tip speed, blade design, operating point and installation conditions. In many industrial and mining projects, axial fan
Q

Which motor is best for a fan?

The best motor for a fan depends on the application, size and environment of the ventilation system. There is no single “perfect” motor for every fan. Small ceiling fans, computer fans and large minin
Q

What is the best airflow for a fan?

There is no universal “best” airflow for every fan. The best airflow is the volume that meets the ventilation, safety and comfort requirements of a particular space or process, while keeping energy us
Q

What type of motor do fans use?

Fans can use several different types of motor, depending on size, power supply and application. In general, large industrial and mining ventilation fans use AC induction motors, while smaller fans and
Q

How to tell what direction a fan blows?

There are several reliable ways to tell what direction a fan blows, and they apply to both industrial fans and mining ventilation fans. You should always confirm airflow direction before installing or
Q

What CFM should a fan motor provide?

Strictly speaking, CFM is a property of the fan and system, not of the motor. CFM (cubic feet per minute) describes how much air the fan moves at a given operating point. The motor’s job is to supply

Q

What is the BHP curve of a fan?

The BHP curve of a fan is the part of the fan performance chart that shows how brake horsepower (BHP) varies with airflow at a given speed. It is plotted alongside the pressure and efficiency curves a
Q

Is a fan motor the same as a blower motor?

In many cases, a fan motor and a blower motor are essentially the same kind of electric motor. The terms “fan motor” and “blower motor” usually describe how the motor is used rather than a completely

Q

How to calculate bhp of fan?

Calculating the brake horsepower (BHP) of a fan means determining how much mechanical power the fan needs at its shaft to deliver a certain airflow and pressure. This is essential for sizing motors an
Q

What is the difference between BLDC motor and normal motor?

The main difference between a BLDC motor and a “normal” motor lies in how the magnetic field is created and switched. In everyday fan applications, “normal motor” usually means an AC induction motor.

Q

What is the difference between HP and BHP fan motors?

HP and BHP are related but not identical concepts in fan applications. Understanding the difference between motor horsepower (HP) and fan brake horsepower (BHP) is essential for correct motor selectio
Q

What is the strongest type of fan?

When people ask about the strongest type of fan, they often think of a household fan that blows the hardest. In industrial and mining ventilation, “strongest” usually means the fan that can move the m
Q

What are the disadvantages of a fan regulator?

Fan regulators are simple devices used to control fan speed, but they have several disadvantages compared with modern electronic drives. In small ceiling fans and some light-duty industrial fans they

Q

Should fans be in series or parallel?

Whether fans should be in series or parallel depends on what you need from your ventilation system. Using multiple fans can be a good way to increase performance, but the arrangement must be chosen an
Q

How to make control fan speed?

To control fan speed effectively in industrial plants and mines, you should focus on methods that adjust the fan’s rotation speed rather than just throttling the airflow. True speed control improves e
Q

Do fans in series increase airflow?

Fans in series do not directly increase the free airflow of the fan; they mainly increase the available pressure. This distinction is important. When you place two identical fans one after another in

Q

What is an auxiliary fan in mining?

An auxiliary fan in mining is a local ventilation fan used to deliver (or extract) air in specific underground areas where the main ventilation circuit cannot provide enough airflow, especially at adv
Q

How to maximize airflow with a fan?

Knowing how to maximize airflow with a fan is essential for getting the most out of your ventilation system. Whether you are dealing with a workshop, an industrial plant or an underground mine, the ai
Q

What are the different types of mine fans?

“Mine fans” is a broad term that covers several fan categories used to move air through underground mines, surface facilities, and associated tunnels. The most practical way to classify mine fans is b
Q

What style of fan moves the most air?

When people ask what style of fan moves the most air, they are usually thinking about total volume of air moved, or how strongly the airflow is felt in a room or tunnel. The answer depends on the envi
Q

Are centrifugal fans better than axial fans?

Centrifugal fans are not automatically better than axial fans, and axial fans are not automatically better than centrifugal fans. Each type has advantages and limitations, so the best choice depends o
Q

What is a booster fan in mining?

A booster fan in mining is a fan installed within the underground ventilation circuit to provide additional pressure and airflow to a specific district, panel, or branch of the mine. While the main fa
Q

What is the static pressure curve of a fan?

The static pressure curve of a fan is part of the fan performance chart that shows how static pressure varies with airflow at a given speed. It is one of the key tools engineers use to select and appl
Q

What is an axial fan in mining?

An axial fan in mining is a ventilation fan that moves air primarily parallel to the fan’s axis, similar to how a propeller pushes air straight through. Axial fans are widely used in mining because th
Q

How many types of fans are available?

When people ask how many types of fans are available, they are usually surprised by how many variations exist beyond simple household fans. In engineering practice, especially for industrial and minin
Q

Is higher static pressure better for fans?

Higher static pressure is not automatically better for fans. What matters is that the fan can deliver the required airflow at the static pressure demanded by the system. Extra pressure beyond what the
Q

What is a fan cut in mining?

In mining, a fan cut refers to a reduction in ventilation airflow caused by stopping a fan, slowing it down, changing its operating condition, or otherwise reducing the pressure that drives air throug
