Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

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

Q

Are centrifugal fans better?

Centrifugal fans are not always better than other fans, but they are better for certain types of ventilation duties. In industrial plants and mines, a centrifugal fan is often the best choice when the
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

How do you maintain a centrifugal fan?

Maintaining a centrifugal fan means looking after the fan, motor and connected duct system so that airflow, pressure and reliability stay within design limits. Good maintenance is critical in industri
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
Q

What are the types of vents?

When we talk about types of vents in ventilation, we are referring to the openings and components that allow air to enter and leave a building, duct system or mine. Vents can be simple passive grilles
Q

How do industrial fans work?

Industrial fans work by converting mechanical energy from an electric motor into airflow and pressure using rotating blades. Whether the fan is axial or centrifugal, the basic principle is to accelera
Q

How do vents work?

Vents work by providing controlled openings for air to move into and out of a building, duct system or underground mine. On their own they are passive components, but when combined with wind, temperat
Q

Are centrifugal fans more efficient?

Centrifugal fans can be very efficient, especially for medium to high-pressure ducted systems, but they are not always more efficient than axial fans. The real answer depends on the duty point, fan ty
Q

What is a duct vs vent?

The terms duct and vent are related but not the same. In ventilation systems for buildings, factories and mines, a duct is the enclosed pathway that carries air, while a vent is the visible opening wh
Q

Are centrifugal fans quieter?

Centrifugal fans are not automatically quieter than other fan types, but they can be engineered to operate quietly, especially when sized correctly and run at moderate speeds. Whether a centrifugal fa
Q

What are the three types of duct systems?

There are many ways to classify ductwork, but a practical way to answer “What are the three types of duct systems?” is to look at their function in the ventilation network. In most buildings, factorie
Q

What is a ventilation duct?

A ventilation duct is an enclosed passage that carries air from one point of a ventilation system to another. Instead of letting air wander freely, ducts provide a controlled path between fans, air-ha
Q

How long does a ventilation system last?

The lifespan of a ventilation system depends on many factors, but a well-designed and maintained system in a commercial or industrial building will often last 15–25 years or more. Some components, suc
Q

How to ventilate correctly?

To ventilate correctly, you must do more than simply install a fan and hope for the best. Proper ventilation is a planned system that brings in enough fresh air, removes contaminated or hot air and gu
Q

What are the five importances of ventilation?

The importance of ventilation goes far beyond simply making a room feel less stuffy. In industrial plants, commercial buildings and underground mines, proper ventilation is a basic safety and performa
Q

How do ventilation ducts work?

Ventilation ducts are the hidden highways of a ventilation system. They work by guiding air from fans and air-handling units to the spaces that need fresh air, and then back again for recirculation or
Q

Which is better, a 1200mm or a 1400mm fan?

Neither a 1200 mm fan nor a 1400 mm fan is automatically better; the right size depends on the space, the required airflow and how the fan will be operated. In general, a larger-diameter fan (1400 mm)
Q

What are the rules for cross ventilation?

Cross ventilation means allowing air to flow across a space from one side to the other, usually by using openings on opposite walls or faces of a building or tunnel. To make cross ventilation effectiv
Q

What does cross ventilation look like?

Cross ventilation is easiest to understand if you picture how the air actually moves through a room or tunnel. In a well-designed cross-ventilated space, you can imagine—or sometimes see—air entering

Q

What is an example of cross ventilation?

A simple and clear example of cross ventilation is a room with one window on the east wall and another on the west wall. When both windows are open and there is a breeze outside, air enters through th
Q

What is ventilation?

Ventilation is the process of supplying fresh air to a space and removing stale or contaminated air. It can occur naturally through openings such as windows and vents, or it can be provided mechanical
Q

What is the difference between axial flow fan and centrifugal fan?

The main difference between an axial flow fan and a centrifugal fan is the direction of airflow and the amount of static pressure each can generate. Axial flow fans move air parallel to the shaft, lik
