Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

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

Q

What are the examples of ventilation equipment?

Ventilation equipment includes all of the devices used to move, distribute, clean and control air in buildings, factories and mines. While fans are the most visible components, a complete ventilation

Q

What is an axial blower?

An axial blower is an air-moving device that uses an axial-flow impeller inside a casing to create a high-velocity stream of air along the axis of rotation. In many situations the terms “axial blower”
Q

Which is better centrifugal fan or propeller fan?

When people ask which is better, a centrifugal fan or a propeller fan, they are really asking which design is better for their particular ventilation job. There is no universal winner. A centrifugal f
Q

Why do we ventilate underground?

We ventilate underground because natural air movement is not enough to keep deep mines and tunnels safe, cool, and breathable. Once you move away from the portal or shaft, air can easily become stagna
Q

What are the disadvantages of a heat blower?

A heat blower—a unit that combines a heater with a blower fan—can be very useful for quickly warming work areas, equipment and temporary enclosures. However, in industrial and mining environments it a
Q

What is the most efficient type of blower?

When people ask what is the most efficient type of blower, they usually want to minimise energy consumption while still delivering the required air flow and pressure. In reality, there is no single bl
Q

What are the disadvantages of exhaust fans?

Exhaust fans are an essential part of many industrial, commercial and mining ventilation systems, but they also have disadvantages that must be understood during design and operation. If exhaust fans

Q

Can you install an industrial exhaust fan without ducting?

It is technically possible to install an industrial exhaust fan without ducting, and in some situations this is a practical and economical solution. A wall-mounted or roof-mounted exhaust fan that dis
Q

Do exhaust fans push air in or out?

Most of the time, exhaust fans are designed to pull air out of a room, duct or enclosure and discharge it to the outside. They do not normally push air in. The whole purpose of an exhaust fan is to re
Q

How many hours can an exhaust fan run?

In principle, a good-quality exhaust fan can run for many hours continuously. Industrial and mining ventilation fans are often designed and rated for 24/7 continuous duty, operating thousands of hours
Q

What are the disadvantages of natural ventilation?

Natural ventilation uses wind and temperature differences instead of fans to move air through buildings, tunnels or shaft systems. It has clear advantages in simplicity and low energy use, but it also
Q

What type of fan uses the least electricity?

The question “What type of fan uses the least electricity?” sounds simple, but the real answer is, “It depends on how much air and pressure you need.” A tiny desk fan uses very little power, but it ma
Q

Which type of fan moves the most air?

When we ask “Which type of fan moves the most air?”, we usually mean which design can deliver the greatest air volume (flow rate), not just the strongest draft at one spot. In practical ventilation wo
Q

What are those giant fans called?

When people point at a huge spinning unit on a factory ceiling or at the portal of a mine and ask, “What are those giant fans called?”, they are usually looking at a specialised type of industrial ven
Q

What are huge fans called?

If you have ever walked into a warehouse, aircraft hangar or underground portal and seen a massive spinning unit overhead, you may wonder “What are those huge fans called?” In most modern buildings th
Q

What are the disadvantages of an exhaust fan?

An exhaust fan is a simple and effective way to remove hot, humid or contaminated air from a room or process area, but it also has several disadvantages that need to be considered in ventilation desig
Q

What are the disadvantages of industrial fans?

Industrial fans are essential for safe and comfortable working conditions, but they do have disadvantages that must be managed through good design and operation. Understanding these drawbacks helps en
Q

Does an exhaust fan remove moisture?

Yes, an exhaust fan can help remove moisture, but it is important to understand how it works and what its limits are. An exhaust fan does not magically absorb water; instead, it removes humid air from
Q

Do industrial ventilation fans control humidity in underground mines?

Industrial ventilation fans can influence humidity in underground mines, but they do not control it in the same way that a dedicated dehumidifier or air conditioning system does. A fan on its own does
Q

What is the purpose of the exhaust fan?

The primary purpose of an exhaust fan is to remove unwanted air from a space and allow it to be replaced with fresher, cleaner air. Unwanted air may be hot, humid, dusty, smoky, odorous or contaminate
Q

Why is it called an exhaust fan?

It is called an exhaust fan because its primary job is to exhaust air from a space. In ventilation engineering, “exhaust” means to remove used, stale, hot or contaminated air and discharge it to a saf
Q

What is the price of underground ventilation fan?

There is no single fixed price for an underground ventilation fan, because cost depends on many technical and commercial factors. When mining companies ask, “How much does an underground ventilation f
Q

What does an intake fan do?

An intake fan is a fan whose main job is to draw fresh air into a space. While exhaust fans pull contaminated or hot air out, intake fans act as supply fans, bringing in outdoor air or air from a clea
Q

Is an axial or centrifugal fan better?

Neither axial nor centrifugal fans are universally better; each is better for specific types of ventilation duties. The right choice depends on airflow, pressure, air quality, layout and control requi
Q

What does "intake" mean on a fan?

On a fan, the word “intake” refers to the side where air enters the fan before it passes through the impeller and is discharged. Manufacturers often label one end of the housing as “intake” and the op
Q

What is the difference between industrial and commercial fans?

The main difference between industrial and commercial fans lies in their construction, performance and intended duty. Industrial fans are designed for heavy, continuous service in harsh environments,

Q

How to check if a fan is intake?

To check if a fan is intake—that is, to find out which side of the fan air is entering—you should use a combination of visual inspection and simple airflow tests, always keeping safety in mind. You ne
Q

What is the difference between industrial and standard fans?

The difference between industrial fans and standard fans is similar to the difference between heavy-duty machinery and everyday equipment. Industrial fans are engineered for continuous operation, high
Q

What is the purpose of the auxiliary fan?

The purpose of an auxiliary fan is to provide local or secondary ventilation in areas that the main ventilation system cannot reach effectively. In everyday language, auxiliary means “helping” or “sup
Q

How long can industrial fans run?

Most industrial fans are designed to run continuously, often 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as long as they are correctly selected, installed and maintained. In mining and heavy industry, main ven
