Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

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

Q

Can FD fans be used in any industry?

FD fans can be used in many different industries, but not literally in every situation and not without careful selection. An FD (forced draft) fan is a combustion air fan, so it is most relevant where
Q

What is the function of a booster fan?

The main function of a booster fan is to increase pressure and airflow at a specific point in a ventilation system. Instead of replacing the main fan, a booster fan works in series with it, adding ext
Q

Is an ID fan noisy?

An ID fan, or induced draft fan, is often perceived as noisy because it handles large volumes of hot flue gas at relatively high pressure. These fans are commonly used on boilers, furnaces and kilns i
Q

Which type of fan is more efficient?

There is no single fan type that is always the most efficient. In mining and industrial ventilation, axial fans, centrifugal fans and mixed-flow fans can all be highly efficient when they are selected
Q

How do you maintain an FD fan?

Maintaining an FD (forced draft) fan is essential for safe and efficient boiler or furnace operation. Because the FD fan supplies combustion air, any failure can reduce efficiency, cause unstable flam
Q

What are the different types of booster fans?

There are several types of booster fans, each designed to increase pressure and airflow in a particular part of a ventilation system. In mining and industrial applications, booster fans can be classif
Q

How many types of industrial fans are there?

There is no single fixed number of industrial fan types, but they can be grouped into a few major families based on how they move air and the duties they perform. Understanding these categories helps

Q

What is the working principle of booster fan?

The working principle of a booster fan is based on operating two or more fans in series within the same airflow path. The main fan generates an initial pressure rise, and the booster fan adds an addit
Q

What are the different types of centrifugal fans?

Centrifugal fans are available in several distinct blade and housing designs, each optimised for different combinations of pressure, efficiency, space and dust loading. Knowing the main types helps yo
Q

What does a booster fan do?

A booster fan is a fan that helps the main ventilation fan by increasing airflow in difficult sections of the system. Instead of replacing the main fan, it works in series with it, adding extra pressu
Q

What is the working principle of a fan?

The working principle of a fan is to convert mechanical energy from a rotating shaft into increased air pressure and velocity, creating a continuous flow of air. Whether the fan is a small desk unit o
Q

How long do fan bearings last?

There is no single fixed number for how long fan bearings last. Bearing life in an industrial or mining fan depends on the mechanical load, speed, alignment, lubrication, vibration and the environment
Q

Which is better centrifugal fan or axial fan?

When people ask which is better, a centrifugal fan or an axial fan, the honest answer is: it depends entirely on the job. Both fan types are essential in mining and industrial ventilation, but each ha
Q

What is an upblast fan?

An upblast fan is a type of exhaust fan that discharges air vertically upward above the roof line. It is usually mounted on a roof curb and designed so that contaminated air, heat, fumes or grease are
Q

What is the difference between radial flow and axial flow fans?

The key difference between radial flow and axial flow fans is the direction in which air moves relative to the fan shaft. This difference in flow direction leads to different pressure capabilities, ef
Q

How to decide on fan size?

Deciding on fan size always begins with the ventilation duty, not the catalogue. To select the right size fan for an industrial plant, tunnel or mine, you must know how much air you need to move and w
Q

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

The main difference between a cross flow fan and an axial fan lies in how air moves through the fan and the shape of the impeller. These differences affect the pressure range, noise characteristics an
Q

How to draw a fan curve?

Drawing a fan curve means turning fan performance data into a graph that shows how airflow and pressure are related at a given speed. Fan curves are a basic tool in industrial and mining ventilation d
Q

Is 1500 RPM good for a fan?

1500 RPM can be a perfectly good speed for a fan, but the number alone does not tell you if the fan is correctly selected. The suitability of 1500 RPM depends on the fan diameter, type, duty point and
Q

Is 1000 RPM good?

Whether 1000 RPM is “good” for a fan depends entirely on the fan’s size, design and duty point. Fan performance is a combination of diameter, speed and blade shape. A well-designed large-diameter fan

Q

What is the difference between axial and mixed flow fans?

The main difference between axial and mixed flow fans lies in the way air moves through the impeller and the resulting pressure and efficiency characteristics. An axial fan moves air predominantly par
Q

What is the fan law for RPM?

The fan law for RPM is part of a group of relationships known as the fan affinity laws. These laws describe how airflow, pressure and power change when you alter the rotational speed of a geometricall
Q

What is the difference between centrifugal flow and axial flow?

The essential difference between centrifugal flow and axial flow is the direction in which air moves through the fan and how that affects pressure, efficiency and typical applications. Axial flow mean
Q

Does more RPM mean more speed in fan?

More RPM does mean the fan’s impeller is rotating faster, but whether that is “better” depends on what you are trying to achieve. Higher RPM generally increases airflow and pressure for a given fan, b
Q

What is an explosion-proof exhaust fan?

An explosion-proof exhaust fan is a fan designed and certified to operate in hazardous atmospheres without igniting flammable gases, vapours or dust. It performs the same basic job as any exhaust fan—
Q

Which fan blows the most air?

When people ask which fan blows the most air, they are usually thinking about air volume rather than pressure. In terms of pure airflow, the fans that move the most air in real-world ventilation syste
Q

Do I need an explosion proof fan?

You need an explosion-proof fan if the air around the fan may contain flammable gases, vapours or dusts at concentrations where an ignition source could cause an explosion. The decision is not based o
Q

What are the four types of mechanical ventilation?

When we talk about the four types of mechanical ventilation, we are usually referring to how fans and ducts are arranged to move air into and out of a building, plant or underground facility. In most

Q

How do I know if a fan is explosion proof?

The only reliable way to know if a fan is explosion proof is to check its certifications and markings, not just its appearance. Explosion proof fans for hazardous areas are tested and approved by reco
Q

What is a ventilation fan used for?

A ventilation fan is used to move air in a controlled way so that heat, dust, fumes and gases are kept within safe limits. Instead of allowing air to stagnate, a ventilation fan creates a flow path th
