Centrifugal Fans Named After

Industrial Process

technologies for Reitz India
Depending on the industrial requirements of airflow rate, volume, and
pressure centrifugal fans have been customised to serve industry.
Centrifugal fans are named as per the function served by them. They are
often referred with different names based on the industrial process they
support. While the technical functionality of these fans is same, the design
element is changed to support several industrial processes.
Combustion Air Fans
A good air delivery system is required for the burner system. These fans
are designed to give pulse free airflow with constant pressure. The
amount of airflow can be controlled by using louvers, inlet guide vanes
and variable speed drives, thus improving the boilers efficiency.
Dedusting Fans
Centrifugal fans find its diverse market in the dedusting application. The
system works as a pressure type system where dust particles move
through the fan.
Raw Mill Fans
A raw mill is an equipment used to grind raw materials into raw mix during
the manufacturing of cement. Raw mill fan finds its application in cement
industry. It carries gas and raw particles. It is possible to obtain very low
pressure drop with the help of Raw mill fan. Its operation is behind cyclone.
Impeller and main disc are equipped with wear protection. It can provide
volume flow of 80-350 m3/s at a temperature of 90-100o C.
Raw Mill Baghouse Fans
It also finds its application in cement industry. It can provide volume flow
of 100-400 m3/s. It often comes with aerofoiled blades. In most of the
cases the fan control is provided by variable frequency drives.
Coal Mill Fans
Proper burning of coal in cement industry require proper air supply .
Exhaust air should also be removed efficiently. These fans help in good
combustion of coal in the cement industry.
Cooling Fans
The clinker in the cement industry has to be cooled from 1500oC to 100oC.
Cooling the kiln protects the equipments and help maintaining proper
minerals in clinker so that good quality of clinker is maintained. Cooling
fans also help manage power consumption.
Flue Gas Recirculaion Fans
Thermal combustion process releases gases which contain lots of flue gas
pollution content. Flue gas recirculation fans reduce flue gas pollution
content. Nitrogen oxide is also a major pollutant released during thermal
combustion. Flue gas is recirculated into the combustion chamber to
reduce nitrogen oxide emission.
Primary Air Fans
Primary air fans serve the purpose of supplying fuel to the furnace so that
combustion takes place properly. Backward curved centrifugal fans are
commonly used as Primary Air fans. They find their applications in cement
industry, power plant industry etc.
