Series Fan Connection

In this case the outlet of the first fan is connected to the inlet of the second fan. With this arrangement, the total head developed at a given volume is equal to the sum of the total heads developed by the individual fans. Sometimes more than one fan is used in a duct arrangement. In […]

Fan and Duct Network

In some instances the fan has a free discharge. Typical is the axial fan installed in a wall opening (wall fan). In most cases the fan is connected to a duct run; in this instance the total pressure difference and volume flow are determined from both the fan and duct network characteristics. Consider the thermodynamic […]

Effect of Speed of Revolution

In the previous sections, the centrifugal and axial fans were investigated for a constant rotational speed. In this section, the rotational velocity is directly proportional to the rota­tional velocity n according to the equation u = irDn. The impeller blade an­gles remain the same regardless of the rotational velocity of the impeller. Hence, the inlet […]

Axial Fans

Figure 9.43 shows the schematic diagram of an axial fan system. The air flows through a nozzle toward the impeller, where static pressure rises. The impeller is attached to a hub. The impeller is also called the propeller. The propeller is followed by a diffuser. When the aim is to build a cheap fan system […]

Centrifugal Fan

In this type of fan, the gas flows initially in an axial direction toward the impeller. After this, in a part of the impeller blade, the gas flow becomes radial. To force the air to flow through the impeller blades of a centrifugal fan, a tangential force is needed. According to the momentum law this […]

FANS General

The fan is the heart of a ventilation system. The industrial engineer requires a comprehensive working knowledge of the subject of fan engineering for the following reasons: 1. The designer must fully appreciate the correct fan selection, by ensuring that its duty meets the requirements of the task for which it is intended. 2. In […]

Air Distribution

1.3.1.19 Introduction The aim of this section is to provide a basic introduction to the methods by which air may enter a space and be distributed and to consider the govern­ing equation for the determination of the air quantity and temperature. The governing equation relating to airflow patterns in a space is not covered in […]

Humidification and Dehumidification

1.3.1.16 Introduction Humidification and dehumidification (drying) of air are required in many commercial and industrial applications for the following reasons: • The control of air moisture content within the occupied space to ensure the well-being of human, animal, or plant life • The control of air moisture content within a space for process control or […]

N Solid-Fuel-Fired Heaters

Furnace-type air heaters are manufactured from cast iron or steel, and cased in brickwork or steel. The cast-iron heaters are sectional, cemented and bolted together. The steel type are welded or riveted. It is essentia] that the joints are airtight, so that the cold air can pass over the heated surfaces of the furnace and […]

AIR-HANDLING PROCESSES Air-Heating Equipment

1.3.1.7Introduction Many different methods of heating the air for industrial ventilation purposes are possible. In all warm-air design applications, consideration must be given to the ef­fects of stratification in tall buildings. Stratification increases the roof and high-wall fabric losses and the air change rate by the stack effect, and hence the ventilation loss. These effects […]
