Mining & Industrial Fan Questions & Answers

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

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 are tunnel fans for?

Tunnel fans are specialized ventilation fans used to move air through road, rail, metro, and mining tunnels. Their main purpose is to control exhaust gases, dust, temperature, and smoke so that people
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

How to ventilate a tunnel?

Ventilating a tunnel means designing and operating a system that moves air through the tunnel in a controlled way so that exhaust gases, dust, heat, and smoke are kept within safe limits. The exact so
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 natural ventilation for tunnels?

Natural ventilation for tunnels is the movement of air through a tunnel without the use of mechanical ventilation fans. Instead, airflow is driven by environmental factors such as wind at the portals,
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
Q

What is a tunnel damper?

A tunnel damper is a movable plate or set of blades installed in tunnel ventilation ducts, shafts, or wall openings. Its main function is to open, close, or modulate the passage of air so that enginee
Q

What are the risks of poor ventilation?

Poor ventilation carries a wide range of risks for people, equipment and buildings. When there is not enough fresh air or the airflow is badly organised, contaminants and heat can build up, leading to
Q

What is the difference between an axial and radial fan?

The difference between an axial fan and a radial fan lies in the direction of airflow and the pressure capability. Axial fans move air parallel to the shaft, while radial fans (a form of centrifugal f
Q

What is a ventilation shaft for a tunnel?

A ventilation shaft for a tunnel is a vertical or steeply inclined opening that connects the tunnel to the surface and is used mainly for moving air rather than vehicles or people. It forms an essenti
Q

How much does a ventilation system cost to run?

The cost to run a ventilation system varies widely, but it is mainly driven by fan power, operating hours and electricity price. In a small building with a few modest fans, the running cost may be rel
Q

What is the difference between axial and radial blowers?

The difference between axial and radial blowers is mainly the direction of airflow and the type of duty they are designed for. Axial blowers move air parallel to the shaft like a fan, while radial blo
Q

What are the disadvantages of a ventilation system?

While a well-designed ventilation system is essential for safety and comfort, it also has several disadvantages and drawbacks that building owners, industrial operators and mine managers must consider
Q

How does air density affect fan performance?

Air density has a direct and significant effect on fan performance. When we talk about fan curves and duty points for industrial or mining ventilation fans, the published data is almost always based o
Q

Which is better cross flow fan or centrifugal fan?

Neither a cross flow fan nor a centrifugal fan is universally better; each is better for specific applications. Cross flow fans are compact devices that produce a wide, uniform air stream at low press
Q

How to evaluate fan performance?

Evaluating fan performance means checking whether a fan installed in a mine or industrial plant is delivering the airflow and pressure you expect, and doing so efficiently. Proper evaluation requires

Q

How much does air pressure drop per 1000 feet?

When people ask how much air pressure drops per 1000 feet, they are usually talking about atmospheric pressure and altitude, not the friction loss in a duct. As you go higher above sea level, the weig
Q

What is the difference between an axial fan and a centrifugal fan?

The main difference between an axial fan and a centrifugal fan is the direction of airflow through the impeller and the pressure each type can develop. Axial fans move air parallel to the shaft in a s
