pipeline booster fan

A pipeline booster fan is installed inline within duct or pipeline networks to restore pressure lost through friction and long distances. It ensures adequate airflow for ventilation, pneumatic conveying, or gas transport systems.

Typically centrifugal in design, these fans deliver 10,000–200,000 CFM at pressures up to 10 kPa. Impellers and casings are constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, or FRP depending on media compatibility.

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) enable pressure-based control, modulating fan speed to maintain target static pressure despite varying flow demands.

Maintenance features include split-casing for impeller extraction, external grease fittings, and vibration monitoring. Pipeline booster fans enhance system reliability and extend network reach in industrial ventilation and process applications.
