Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

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

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 the difference between centrifugal fan and normal fan?

When people ask about the difference between a centrifugal fan and a “normal” fan, they usually mean the difference between a radial centrifugal fan and a common axial or propeller fan. Both are norma
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

Are centrifugal fans reversible?

People often ask whether centrifugal fans are reversible, especially when they want a single fan to handle both supply and exhaust duties. In theory you can reverse the rotation of almost any electric
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
Q

What are those huge fans called?

When someone points at a massive unit on a ceiling or at the mouth of a tunnel and asks, “What are those huge fans called?”, the answer depends on the setting. In large buildings and warehouses, they

Q

Do you want high or low static pressure?

You do not choose high or low static pressure in isolation; the “right” static pressure is the value your ventilation system actually needs at the required airflow. A well designed fan selection match
Q

What kind of fan is used in mines?

Mines use several kinds of ventilation fans, and the “right” fan depends on where it is used (main system vs local ventilation) and the required duty point (airflow and pressure). In most underground

Q

Which fan type is best?

Asking which fan type is best is a bit like asking which vehicle is best—truck, car or bus. The answer depends entirely on what you are trying to do. In ventilation engineering, the main fan types are
Q

How to plot a fan curve?

To plot a fan curve you need measured or manufacturer data showing how airflow, pressure and power change at different operating points for a given fan speed. From these data you graph pressure versus
Q

What are the ventilation requirements in underground mines?

Ventilation requirements in underground mines are fundamentally about providing enough fresh air to keep people safe and enable production while controlling airborne hazards. Although exact numeric re
Q

Which is better centrifugal fan or ID fan?

When people ask whether a centrifugal fan or an ID fan is better, it is important to understand that an ID fan is not a completely different fan type. In most boiler houses, power plants and heavy ind
Q

What is the static pressure of a ventilation fan?

The static pressure of a ventilation fan is the pressure the fan can develop to overcome system resistance at a particular airflow. It is not a single fixed number for the fan; instead, it varies alon
Q

What are the different types of mine ventilation fans?

Mine ventilation fans can be grouped in two useful ways: by their function in the ventilation system (main, booster, auxiliary) and by aerodynamic design (axial or centrifugal). Both classifications m
Q

What is considered a high velocity fan?

A high velocity fan is generally understood to be a fan that produces a concentrated air stream with a relatively high outlet speed, rather than a gentle, broadly distributed flow. Instead of just mov
Q

What is the PQ curve of a fan?

The PQ curve of a fan is the graph that shows the relationship between pressure (P) and airflow (Q) for that fan at a given speed. It is the core part of the fan performance chart and is essential for
Q

What is the auxiliary fan in underground mines?

An auxiliary fan in underground mines is a local ventilation fan used to move air in areas where the main ventilation circuit cannot supply enough airflow or cannot direct air effectively to the worki
