Radial Blade Centrifugal Fan – Canada Fans Industrial Blowers & Fans

Industrial Fans & Noise

The important factor to consider is the fan’s blade pass frequency, which is a pure tone produced when the blades of the fan wheel (impeller) rotate past the housing cut-off sheet in centrifugal fans, or the turning vanes, in axial fans. The blade pass frequency is calculated by multiplying the number of blades times the rotating speed in revolutions per minute. If this frequency matches the natural frequency of the ductwork, it can excite the ductwork, which can cause it to resonate, thereby increasing the noise level. Because of this possible increase in sound, and because certain pure tones are irritating to people, the sound output of the blade pass frequency should be investigated when sound reduction is desired. The next factor to consider is the fan design. Generally a fan operating at peak mechanical efficiency will produce less noise, because high efficiencies result from minimal air turbulence within the fan.

The sound generated by some fans can be a potential hazard to personnel in close proximity to the fan, and the sound can be transmitted, via the ductwork connected to the fan, to all areas serviced by the fan. Because of these concerns, fan manufacturers publish sound ratings for their products to serve as a guide for selecting fans to meet sound specifications, and to assist acoustical consultants in predicting the total noise levels in specific environments. This article provides basic information to help understand fan sound ratings and how to apply them. Like any mechanical device, fans generate sound, which emanates naturally from the turbulence of moving air, the mechanics of moving parts of the fan, and from vibration.

Air turbulence within the fan increases the sound coming from the air movement. The noise resulting from air turbulence is a major factor in the sound levels of a fan in a specific application. Further, duct work can transmit this turbulent noise to all areas serviced by the fan. Factors contributing to air turbulence include the resistance to flow, flow separation along fan surfaces, and shock related to abrupt changes in the direction of airflow, pressure, or velocity. A lower noise level can be achieved by reducing air turbulence. This can be done by considering several factors related to air movement when selecting fans.

Industrial Centrifugal Fans Design

There are four basic centrifugal fan wheel designs – forward curved, backwardly inclined, radial, and radial tip – and a variety of axial flow wheel designs. Each wheel design has unique sound characteristics due to the way they handle air, and the efficiencies they can achieve. Fan speed does not always determine which fan will be quieter. For example, centrifugal fans have higher amplitudes at lower frequencies, while axial fans exhibit higher amplitudes at the higher frequencies. The amplitude of the blade pass frequency on an axial fan is higher and more pronounced than on backwardly-inclined fans, and commonly will have amplitude peaks at multiples of this frequency.

Backward Inclined Fans

Of the four centrifugal designs, the backwardly inclined fans are the most efficient, and therefore, the quietest. Those with airfoil-shaped blades offer the highest efficiencies, for clean air environments, while those with single-thickness blades can be used in applications where light dust or moisture is present, although the efficiencies are somewhat lower.

Axial & Vaneaxial Industrial Fans

Certain types of axial fans offer the next highest efficiencies. An excellent example is the Vaneaxial fan that uses airfoil shaped blades in an in-line flow design. This fan is used to handle high volumes of clean air at low pressures, which is a typical ventilation application.

Radial Blade Fans

Radial fans are typically low efficiency, open designs for special purpose applications, such as bulk material handling, or exhausting / supplying lower volumes of air at higher pressures. A radial fan will be much louder than a backwardly-inclined fan operating under the same volume and pressure conditions.

Radial Tip Fans

Radial Tip fans, commonly used to handle larger volumes of air that contains particles or material, exhibit sound characteristics similar to the radial fans. The sound spectra of radial and radial tip fans contain amplitude spikes at various frequencies, and a noticeable spike at the blade pass frequency.

Forward Curve Fans

The forward-curved fan design operates at speeds that are much slower than the other fan types, which results in lower noise levels from mechanical operation and vibration. However, because of its modest efficiencies, a forward curved fan may be noisier than a backwardly-inclined fan when operating at comparable volume and pressure. The sound spectrum of the forward-curved fan shows a slower rate of reduction in amplitudes than the other centrifugal types, and because of the large number of blades, the blade pass frequency occurs much later in the spectrum and is not predominant.

Industrial Fan Components

The moving components of the fan – the motor, bearings, and drive – produce sound. This too can be transmitted through the system via the fan structure or shaft, or when these components are in the airstream. Motor sound will vary with speed, enclosure, electrical characteristics, and even the manufacturer. Antifriction bearings can be used to reduce bearing noise, and proper drive selection will reduce the likelihood of belt hop, or slap. Of course, proper maintenance must be employed to keep the moving parts running smoothly, and quietly.

Excessive vibration can significantly add to the overall noise level of an installation. This will occur if the fan or any of its components are not adequately balanced, if the fan is installed on an insufficient foundation, or if the fan is not properly isolated from other system components. For example, it is not uncommon for the fan’s support structure or ductwork to have a natural frequency at the fan’s operating speed or blade pass frequency, either of which can cause the system to resonate at that frequency, increasing the sound levels, and the possibility of damaging the installation. These risks can be eliminated by changing the speed of the fan, installing appropriate isolation, and / or detuning of the fan or affected system components.

dBA is a useful measurement for evaluating the overall noise level at a particular location, but this measurement takes into account all of the sound sources affecting that particular location, which include the sounds from all equipment in the area, natural sounds of the environment, and from other environmental factors. Some of these factors are the current physical properties of the air such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, whether the location is outside or inside, the size and material of the room. All of these affect the sound pressure experienced by the listener, and recorded by the sound level meter.

Published fan sound power ratings and corrections only reflect noise created by air turbulence within the fan. Because of the infinite variables, mechanical noise and vibration noise are impossible to accurately predict, and are not included in the rating.

Industrial Extractor Fans

Industrial extractor fans come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and strengths so it can be difficult to choose the best one for your restaurant kitchen. There are roughly seven different sizes that are available from 315mm to 630mm which can be mounted in a few different ways. Many businesses prefer the axial style of fan as it can be used for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss these machines and hopefully make your choice of fan a bit easier.

One of the common drawbacks of industrial extractor fans is how loud they are. This can be such a problem that most restaurant managers choose to run them only when the amount of steam, smoke, and pollutants in the air reaches an intolerable level. However, there are some high end models that can run in a Quiet Mode that doesn’t make that much noise at all and even can be run all the time if you choose. You may even want to run the fan a bit after your staff has finished for the day in order to clear up any residual pollutants that may remain in the air.

If you are currently looking at the different options of industrial extractor fans you have available, you will have to decide whether you would like a model that uses ducts or one that uses filters. The former choice is the most efficient as it can take the polluted air directly out of your building and replace it with clean air. Your other option, the filtered models, do not do as well because they will recycle the same air within your building only they run it through a charcoal filter first to make it cleaner. While a ducted model is preferred in most situations, they can be a bit more on the expensive side. Not to mention, you may not have the space necessary to fit the ducts.

It is important that you find industrial extractor fans that have been built to last. Therefore, try to find a model that is built from steel as this is a durable metal that is sure to last. Also be on the lookout for one that is coated in corrosion proof paint and has steel wire guards as well for optimum protection. It is also a good idea to pay special attention to the kind of motor each model features. Try to find one that is lightweight, but works well and is built to last.

One final thing you will have to take into consideration is how you will install your fan. You will find that most axial industrial extractor fans may be installed in various ways such as:

– Mounted on the wall with special brackets

– Placed freestanding in the center of the room

– Hung from the ceiling with chains

– Inline with your ductwork

Axial Fans & Blowers – High Temperature

Canada Fans Co. now offers high temperature construction on its axial fans. There are a few steps of fan heat construction available: 200 F, 725 F, 800 F. High temperature inline fans are ideal for industrial oven and dryer exhaust systems where pressure requirements are minimal and compact light-weight designs are advantageous.

High Temperature Fans

200 F High Temperature Duct Fans come with special heat bearings and a belt drive with increased safety factor.

Tubeaxial Fans

650 F Tubeaxial Fan design involves special belt tunnel cooling system that induces a flow of cooler, ambient air through the belt well and inner tube, cooling the fan’s internal components. Depending on temperature requirements, modifications include high-temperature alloy fan wheel, special drive components, and modifications to provide internal ambient air cooling.

Fans with ambient air cooling systems handling hot airstreams must have sufficient airflow and be kept in operation until airstream temperatures cool below 120 F to prevent damage to the fan unit. The Tubeaxial fan ambient air cooling system is only effective while fan is operating.

Vaneaxial Fans

800 F Vaneaxial Fans are designed to operate continuously at temperatures to 800 deg. F, and include an auxiliary cooling fan that forces air through the bearing compartment and exits out through the insulated belt opening taking away excessive heat from the shaft and bearings. A high temperature shaft seal is also standard on this design.

Fans handling hot airstreams must have sufficient airflow and be kept in operation until airstream temperatures cool below 120 F to prevent damage to the fan unit. The Tubeaxial fan ambient air cooling system is only effective while fan is operating.

High Temperature Fans Specifications

The Canada Fans complete high temperature fans line now include:

– Operating up to 2200 F, centrifugal, axial and plug fan types;
– Pre-engineered and custom made fans for all types of applications with vaiety of impeller types and accessories;
– Canada Fans engineers provide a professional advice and recommend a right fan for every application & oven / plenum design;
– The fan offering provides competitive replacement fans to Garden City, Lau, IGE, Alloy Fabricating fan models; repairs, re-build & balancing;
– Unique high temperature water-cooled motors for operation up to 2300 F;

in the two major types of high temperature fans – centrifugal and axial:

Centrifugal Wheels:

* Multiblade forward curve wheel. This type of wheel is usually specified where there is a necessity for large volumes of flow against low to medium static pressure requirements. The forward curve blade is that it delivers the same volume of air as either the backward or radial blade wheel, at a lower fan speed, which is important due to wheel stresses at elevated temperatures. This fan is the most common type used in all types of heat treatment operations except where a buildup of material on the blades could occur, as wheel unbalance would result.
* Radial Blade, paddle wheel type fans. This type of wheel is usually specified where there is a necessity for medium volumes of flow against medium to large static pressures. The paddle wheel is considered a self cleaning type of wheel. It could be used where there are various materials or dust in the air stream. Due to its structurally strong design, it is used in many heat treatment applications at very high temperatures where maximum fan longevity is desired.

Axial Blade Wheels:

* The axial blade wheel is usually specified where there is a need for very large volumes of flows against low static pressure. Axial wheel like the multi-blade forward curve type wheel could cause an axial fan to deliver different air volumes at the same static pressure, if the total pressure requirement of the fan system was underestimated. This type of fan is ideally suited where a large volume of flow is required with a minimum of duct work and is used extensively for small and large furnaces, such as aluminum annealing.

Axial Fans & Axial Ventilators

Canada Fans fans are the finest quality blowers available for efficient movement of corrosive, humid, or polluted air, gases, and fumes. These fire-retardant and corrosion-resistant plastic fans are specially designed and especially suited for hostile applications where coated metal blowers typically corrode. Canada Fans fans are proven thoughout the world and clearly recognized for superior quality, reliability, and efficiency.

Axial Flow Fans

The axial flow fans are widely used for providing the required airflow for heat & mass transfer operations in various industrial equipment and processes. These include cooling towers for air-conditioning & ventilation, humidifiers in textile mills, air-heat exchangers for various chemical processes, ventilation & exhaust as in mining industry etc. All the major industries use large number of axial flow fans for operations, such as:

– Power Generation Facilities

– Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals

– Cement Industry

– Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals

– Fertilizer Production

– Mining Industries

– Institutional Ventilation, etc..

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) provide the desired non-corrosive quality to the fan blades, resulting the operation of fans even in the very aggressive environment. Lightweight FRP fans also ensure a low moment of inertia, minimum wear & stress on motor, bearing and drive system.

Hollow FRP blades reduce material & installation costs and possibility of damage to the fan & drive during sudden stops. Composite structural design can be tailor made by using glass fibres in various forms (woven mat & rovings) in right direction while moulding the impeller with resin thus imparting the desired mechanical strength by improving its structural stability and enhanced mechanical properties.

Aerofoil design of fan impellers ensures higher efficiency, lower noise levels & less power consumption. The aerodynamically designed impellers of fans, fabricated by composite material can be an excellent alternative to ensure enhanced efficiency & appropriate energy savings apart from a wide gamut of critical advantages.

The FRP fans offer certain critical advantages as mentioned hereunder:

– Optimal aerodynamic design of fan impellers to provide higher efficiency for any specific application.

– Reduction in overall weight of the fan, thereby extending the life of mechanical drive systems.

– Require lower drive motor rating and light duty bearing system.

– Low power consumption resulting in appreciable energy savings.

– FRP fans fabricated by compression moulding/resin transfer moulding technique would have uniform dimensions and consistent quality.

– Lower flow noise and mechanical noise levels compared to the conventional metallic fans.

– Longer life of fans due to improved mechanical strength.

The potential of FRP composite for various applications is very wide. In view of the crucial need for developing indigenous capability in composite technology the main advantage of FRP fans is their utilization and application of composite as an important performance material in various sectors and to improve upon the laboratory-industry linkages towards development & commercialisation.

Industrial Fans Uses and Applications

Fans have helped to create safer and more pleasant internal environments for hundreds of years. The invention of mechanical fans is found in the industrial revolution and the first commercially viable electric fans were made available to the US public early in the 1930’s.

Fan Manufacturing and Ventilation Solutions

Today the technology behind fan manufacturing and ventilation solutions have sky-rocketed to create fans for virtually every use from cooling devices in a server room; to ventilation in a manufacturing plant; to keeping a bathroom clear of damp air.

Generally speaking, fans and their accessories can be divided into 3 main usage categories: domestic use, industrial use and commercial use.

Industrial Fans

Industrial Fans will often have a very robust requirement and it is essential to involve experienced engineers with the installation of such ventilation. Other than just determining whether the fans will be required for air supply or for exhaust functions (i.e.: as an extractor fan) the engineer or installation technician will need to be keenly aware of both the working temperatures of the units as well as any thermal protection qualities of its associated housing or frame.

Some industrial fans will come with controllable speeds which can be very handy in a changeable internal environment, especially with regards to saving on ventilation costs at times when the air regulation needs of an area are reduced. Special features such as built in monitoring and systems integration come in handy when working in a potentially hazardous environment for example when chemicals or volatile substances are involved. Generally speaking, fire resistance and corrosion resistance are both ‘plus’ features for any industrial ventilation setup. Above the ‘plus’ one will need to consider the health and safety requirements of your region such as vibration or noise control and air quality regulations related to worker health.

Commercial Fans

Commercial Fans would not have as robust a requirement but the overall integration of fans into the building structure and management system is key to efficiency. Automatic ventilation in refrigeration units or in rooms that will typically contain many people at the same time will keep areas safe and comfortable. Operational areas such as server rooms (also known as data rooms) and elevators will need to provide adequate ventilation, usually in the form of extractor fans, to remove excess heat generated by the operating machinery which often runs continuously. Commercial ventilation also acts as a barrier to unwanted external influences such as insects, pollution and natural allergens.

Domestic Fans

Lastly domestic fans find their main purpose in providing less costly air quality solutions. There are two ways to cut costs with a domestic ventilation solution. You can invest in a ‘cheap and cheerful’ unit from the beginning resulting in a smaller initial cost or you can install a slightly more costly fan and ducting system with operational features that help you save on heating and ventilation costs in the long run. There are a wide variety of low energy extractor fans and ventilation units are now available for kitchens, washrooms and living rooms. In addition heat recovery units now help you to use the heat from stale air that is being extracted to warm-up fresh air that is being pulled in by your system.

Exhaust Fans

The practical designs of modern homes are more focused on energy conservation. Making a home practically air-tight reduces heating requirements thus saving on electricity costs. This may be a great way to save money and help the environment, but it also leads to poor air circulation inside the house. Poor air quality can lead to a variety of cardiovascular diseases, ruined paint and damaged furniture which is why it is important to have good air circulation inside the home. The best way to do this is to install ventilation exhaust fans.

Types of Exhaust Fans

There are many different types of exhaust systems and getting an idea of how each one works will give you an idea of what type will be the best for your home. Different sized homes will have different ventilation requirements. Larger homes will require a variety of ventilation fans to keep the air from getting stale.

Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan Systems

The most common types of ventilation air purifying fans are wall mounted, ceiling mounted, inline fans, combination, exterior remote mounted and kitchen range exhaust fans. It is best to have ducting installed in areas where a visible fan would not blend in well. Areas like the living room, dining room, den and bedrooms would be good places to have ducting installed. Stale air runs through the ducting and exits the house via an exterior fan that expels the air outside, or busing using inline fans that are contained inside the actual ducting.

Ceiling or Wall Mounted Exhaust Fans

Kitchens, attics, laundry areas, bathrooms, garage and storage areas can be installed with either ceiling mounted or wall mounted exhaust fans if the area is situated beside an exterior wall.

It is important that all the areas inside a home need to have air circulation so that pollutants, pathogens or even humidity does not accumulate and lead to costly repairs or health problems. Be sure to select ventilation exhaust fans that are suitable for each area of the home.

Industrial Building Ventilation

Based on the objectives and funds available, one can now consider different alternatives for industrial building ventilation and select the best method to use in calculating air volume requirements. A description of these methods follows. This is a time-honored approach to a determination of air volume requirements. It is based on the theory that a complete change of air in a room or building should be made at a certain time frequency. The rate selected is frequently an arbitrary decision. It may be based on experience with similar installations or may be established by a health or safety code. Many fan manufacturers have published charts that show recommended rates of air change for typical installations. Although the rate of air change method of calculating air volume has been used for many years, Buffalo Fan engineers have found it unsatisfactory except in relatively small buildings or rooms. For jobs that involve personnel comfort. this method is not recommended if the building is over 50,000 cubic feet in content or more than l00′ in length.

Considerations for Building Ventilation

The volume of air required to operate a ventilating and cooling system is a very fundamental requirement. Before air volume is estimated or calculated, careful consideration should be given to the following factors. Be sure that the decision you make will accomplish the most important objectives or will overcome the most important problems. This should be the overriding consideration in the selection of a system of ventilation. Availability of money to finance the system is a factor that must be considered early in the planning stage. The funds available will affect the objectives you set and will influence the system of ventilation selected to meet the objectives.

CFM per square foot of floor area method

CFM per square foot of floor area method: this method of calculation is a modern adaptation of the rate of air change formula. Total air volume (cubic feet per minute) is determined by multiplying the total square feet of floor area by an arbitrary CFM per square foot figure. The figure selected may be as low as 2 CFM or as high as 12 CFM per square foot. Four CFM per square foot has been recommended as a minimum for summer ventilation of large assembly type operations. This method of calculation, like the rate of air change method, is likely to produce unsatisfactory results in many cases. Failure to control air distribution and air velocity can be a major weakness in the whole concept. Selection of a CFM per square foot figure should be based on experience and a proven method of air distribution.

Rate of air velocity method

Rate of air velocity method: This method of calculating air volume needed for a system is highly recommended by American Coolair. A breeze conditioning system can be highly effective in providing personnel comfort in hot weather if the recommendations outlined below are observed. It has been determined from field experience that an average air velocity of 150 feet per minute (FPM) to 200 FPM is usually sufficient for personnel cooling under summertime conditions. The CFM required to do the job is calculated by multiplying the cross section of an area through which the air is to move by the desired velocity. This is expressed in the following formula.

Factors Affecting Average Air Velocity

As building size increases, there are factors that will affect the average air velocity through the cross section of the building. The longer the building, the greater the amount of air leakage from windows, doors, elevator shafts, etc. To offset this air leakage, air velocity should be increased. This is done by relating the calculated velocity to the length of the building. The results will provide an effective velocity of approximately 150 ft./min.

Industrial Ventilators

In some buildings. it is not possible or practical to install a complete ventilation system. In such situations, zone cooling may be effectively used. The problem is similar to a spot cooling application, but usually involves a relatively larger area. Effective zone cooling may be accomplished by use of air circulators. See Air circulation below. A very satisfactory zone cooling method is the use of supply-type PRVs to flood the problem area with fresh, cooler air. The adjacent drawing and zone cooling table illustrate the capacity of several American Coolair PRV models to effectively cool an area. The figures are based on discharge of air approximately l5 feet above floor level.

Roof Ventilators

It can decrease make up of heat in the roof spaces; reduce the heat load on the isolation. In turn, you will make save on your electricity bills as the air-conditioning systems will not have to work as hard.

In winter, it decreases the amount of condensation that forms when warm moist air from exhaust fans meets cold surfaces also reduce the amount of corrosion and wood is created due to condensation. It should be installed where no sarking with tile roofs, metal roof deck is used, and when there is evidence of condensation in the attic or ceiling.

How Roof Ventilators Work

Accurate ventilation needs that there be a flow of air into the room and the temperature and humidity should be maintained within a range that allows adequate evaporation of sweat from the skin. It was previously thought that the anxiety, nuisance and laziness often linked with bad ventilation were caused totally by the enhance in the quantity of CO2 and decreased oxygen in the air. There is proof, however, that the effects depend largely on the interference with the mechanism of heat regulation in the body. Lack of air flow and increase the relative humidity and temperature prevent normal evaporation of perspiration and heat loss from the skin surface.

Roof Exhausters

Roof exhauster is essentially a simple hole in the roof with a cover to protect from rain and wind to avoid interfering with its operation. A useful addition is a fan stirring the air or gas to move from one place to another. Mechanical fan blades of bearing is used for ventilation, in manufacturing, in winnowing grain, to remove dust, cuttings or other debris, or plans to offer a fire. The addition of distribution channels for the fan and a system to force air into the building provides greater efficiency. The outputs are designed for maximum mixing of air and move large amounts of air at low speed so that the temperature of the layers is removed. The factories are equipped with unusual suction hoods for dust boxes located smoke and heat.

Essential Uses and Attributes of Quality Roof Ventilators

Deep mines, underwater tunnels and other underground environments and underwater systems require development of mechanisms for maintaining air flow in a healthy state. Life for those working or traveling in these areas depend on a constant supply of fresh air, not only must the systems are very effective, but it should be possible in an emergency in case of failure of the device running. Derived from studies of the problems of ventilation systems is the development of methods of air conditioning heat pump is a device that the reversible mechanical work to extract heat from a cooler place and deliver heat to a warmer place. Heat is supplied to a warmer place, about the sum of the initial heat and work.

These systems, unlike conventional methods of ventilation, independent of outside weather conditions and can be stored indoors, temperature, humidity and healthier environment, and the air is free of dust and other harmful substances. They achieve this, however, significant energy costs.

A trustworthy ventilation arrangement that can function throughout a fire is both fundamental and significant. It prevents smoke logging, allows people to escape quickly, reducing damage to property and contents and enables firemen to attack the fire without hindrance. These power roof exhausters have the added advantage that the normal day to day ventilation and in many cases can also be equipped with working channels for use in multi-storey buildings.
