Industrial Blower Fans – FRP Fans

Northern Industrial Blower Fans Supply Co. is an engineering distributor of plastic and fiberglass fans and blowers for industry applications where aggressive media must be moved. Plastic fans include polypropelene, PVC, PVDF, fire retardant and UV resistant PPs.

Applications for Corrosion and Chemical Resistant Fans include:

* University, Medical Research, Defence Labs, Fume Hoods OEMs, Pharmaceutical Labs

On most campuses there is a certain number of fume hoods that are used for various acids testing to break down materials for analysis. HCl and Perchloric Acid are the ones used most commonly. Fume hoods and Chemical resistant fans are needed.

* High Technology Semiconductors, PCBs, and Photonics

Chip makers use acids to clean metal before they mount thin film on the metal upon which they lay circuitry.

* Printed Circuit Board Industry

FRP fans are frequenly used for clean rooms.

* Waste water and Sewage Treatment Plants

Hydrogen Sulfide builds up (H2S) in sewage plant facilities and causes an odor problem that has to be treated. Depending on the size of these stations corrosion resistant fans are needed. This gas can also be very volatile and will require explosion proof motor and static grounding of the fan housing by graphite impregnation that Northen Industrial Co. can provide too.

* Salt Air and High Humidity Environments

Any facility near the salt air is also a good place for plastic fans and the humidity will eat through metal fans.

* Steel and Wire Manufacturing

As the steel comes in and sits at these plants impurities and scale develop on the steel or the wire that needs to be cleaned off before the wire or steel can be properly worked with. Acid baths are needed for this and the corrosive fumes coming off these aced baths are highly corrosive…

* Stainless Steel and other Metal Production Facilities

In tha annealing and Pickling process acid baths are used to strip scale off the steel after the annealing process that smoothed out grain patterns that may have formed during the annealing process. Later on acids are used again to support oxidation.

* Chemical and Petrochemical Industries

* Jet Engine and Power Plant Turbine Manufacturing or Servicing

Molted Salt tanks are often used here to descale metals coming out of hot furnaces. Pickling and cleaning of titanium which is used in Jet engine parts also utilize acid baths as does nickel plating.

* Electroplating and Metal Finishing

These industries use fiberglass fans and fume scrubbers.

* Scrubber OEMs and Designers

FRP fans are standard components in fiberglass srubber designs.

* Industrial Galvanizers

* Printing Press Service Shops

* Chromatography

* Food Processing

Often in the food processing industry they wash equipment down with acids and other corrosives. Also they use fans for the humidity that builds up from the drying process of foods.

* Pulp and Paper Industry

Pulp and paper manufacturers are very wide users of fiberglass and other plastics fans for their boilers, exhaust and filtration systems.

Attic Fans

While most households are conscious on the convenience brought by nicely ventilated homes, many tend to overlook the attic as one of the areas to be considered. No one finds it comfortable staying for long hours in the closed attic because of the overwhelming heat that builds up in it. For this reason, it is necessary for everyone to consider installing attic ventilation fans in order to cool down the attic’s heat. This can have amazing advantages to the overall household convenience while minimizing energy costs.

Attic fans are, without a doubt, effective tools in bringing ample air exposure to the attic. Without these, all the heat from the sunlight is absorbed into the house even without bringing noticeable change to the temperature. The same thing happens even when the days are not too sunny. All the heat absorbed from its daily encounter with direct sunlight is trapped inside the attic. Not only that, since warm air naturally rises, all the heat in the house goes up to the attic. This can result to a throttling discomfort for anyone who goes in the attic to either look for something in the storage or to bring over new belongings for keeping.

Improper attic ventilation

Improper attic ventilation also has negative effects to things stored there. Too much heat can be bad for the things kept in the storage. It will gradually diminish their quality and can even damage those fragile and sensitive possessions. Moreover, the overly high temperature in the attic can result in the breaking of the house’s roof. Although these do not happen overnight, the effects will be noticeable in due time. The costs of replacements and repairs will only add to the family’s expenses. This is one of the reasons why mounting attic ventilation fans are necessary.

These attic fans also help minimize the development of excess moisture in the room. Lesser room moisture means it becomes impossible for molds and yeast to grow in the sheaths and frames under the roof especially on summer months. This is applies to both warm and cool seasons. For colder times, the cooling effects of attic ventilation fans are very helpful in preventing ice blocks from expanding on the rooftop. This protects the roof from being damaged by the ice.

There are many types of attic fans being sold in the market nowadays. However, using the solar types is highly recommended because of their economical value. These solar fans not only save on the electric bills but also reduce the amount of energy emitted by electronic appliances which are harmful to the environment. They are also as competent as the plug-in types of fans. While this choice of attic ventilation fans are more expensive compared to non-solar ones during the initial purchase, one cannot deny its long-term cost-efficiency.

People tend to neglect the importance of having a well-ventilated attic. Although it is just an extra space mostly utilized for storage, it significantly has effects on the amount of heat stored in the residence that has some lasting drawbacks to the house and the things kept in the attic. Therefore, it is important to take time to evaluate the attic’s ventilation needs and install efficient attic fans.

HVAC with Industrial Blowers and Fans

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is a system that provides warm air or cool air depending on your climate needs. HVAC systems are esteemed for their energy-saving abilities. They are installed by certified HVAC trained technicians only. Because of its awesome benefits, along with its pollution control feature, more homes are being installed with HVAC Indianapolis systems each year.

Another benefit of having an HVAC system installed at your home is its ability to clean and improve the air’s quality. Studies show that the quality of indoor air is way worse than outdoor air because indoor air is congested. The polluted indoor air, in turn, worsens allergies and causes colds to stay longer. With an HVAC system, the air indoors will constantly be exchanged with filtered fresh outdoor air.

It is true that the initial cost of an HVAC system is quite high. In fact, it is higher than the typical gas furnace. However, in the long run, each month you will feel the difference through your energy costs. Also, with HVAC systems, you won’t have to buy separate systems for heating and cooling and since there is only one machine, home space will also be saved for other important things. In addition, some HVAC systems run on renewable energy via solar panels. Plus, a non-chlorine-based coolant is used. You are actually saving the Earth too!

One major problem of most homeowners is moisture retention. Whether your local climate changes every few months or stays constant, moisture stays in your home. Indoors, air does not circulate properly without decent ventilation. Because of this, outside air cannot be able to circulate with the indoor air. When this happens, molds are more likely to grow inside walls, under floors, and even on your clothes. To avoid this, you need to dehumidify your home. An HVAC Indianapolis homes use can help you circulate indoor and outdoor air for less moisture in your home.

Moreover, HVAC systems increase a property’s value. In the case that you decide to sell your home in the future, your HVAC system will aid in appraising your home’s value. Compared to having an old-fashioned gas furnace which can be a potential fire hazard, an HVAC system is more convenient, appealing, and, not to mention, safe. Surely, most potential buyers will choose HVAC systems over old gas furnaces.

Consult your local heating and cooling Indianapolis based company about the things you need to prepare and are concerned about when planning to buy an HVAC system.

How to Improve Air Flow Ventilation

Improvement the air circulation in the building makes a huge difference because the faster the air moves through your home, the easier it is to maintain a temperature within your home. The heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical service shops can help you to choose the different methods which will make this possible. The good news is that most of these methods will allow you to not only have more consistent temperatures throughout your home. They will also help you to be able to spend less money to get the results you are looking for.

There are three methods you can try for improving the circulation in your home. One of the ways is to make sure that you are getting the right amount of air flow through the ventilation system in your home. You can also make sure that you are regularly changing the air filters. You can also make sure to use electric zoning so that you will be able to get constant temperatures throughout your home. The more you are willing to invest in the different methods for circulating the air throughout your home, the more comfortable your home will be.

Improving Air Flow in the Ventilation System

There are many different ways in which you can improve the amount of circulation that you get. One way is to install duct fans. These are blowers which will help to force the air through the ventilation system and into the different rooms of the home. These are especially useful when you notice that certain rooms of the home are harder to ventilate or affect the temperature than others. They work remotely, but in conjunction with the HVAC unit so that they will only operate while the system is on.

Change Your Air Filters

Improving indoor air quality is possible by making sure to change the air filters regularly. Not only does changing the air filters help to improve health by improving indoor air quality. It also helps to make sure that the air is able to flow easily throughout the house. This will help to make sure that you are getting the right kind of ventilation so that the entire home will be as comfortable as possible. Try to invest in air filters which will filter out different kinds of allergens.

Maximizing Temperatures through Electronic Zoning

When you have better ventilation, you might also want to invest in electronic zoning. This is when you use different thermostats throughout the home to control the temperature in different zones. The greater control will allow you to be able to make sure that the right amount of hot or cold air is getting to where it needs to be. You will no longer have to rely on one thermostat to control the temperature for the entire home. This will improve circulation greatly.

Flow rates are predetermined based on space type and occupancy. Although local codes determine minimum requirements for HVAC systems, ASHRAE Handbook – HVAC Applications provides general design criteria for various commercial and public buildings. These criteria include air movement, room circulation, noise, and filter efficiency. Although all are important, room circulation, in air changes per hour, typically determines airflow requirements. Because flow rate is driven by design criteria, a design engineer’s primary means of reducing energy use is to minimize the static pressure needed to move air through a system.

Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International defines system pressure loss as “the sum of the static-pressure losses due to friction, shock, dissipation of velocity pressure at the system discharge, and the static-pressure differences between the entry and discharge openings of an air system. The static pressure a fan must overcome is dependent on many variables, only some of which the design engineer can control. The location of equipment often is determined by the architect and, therefore, limits the engineer’s options.

Blowers and Fans Duct Configuration

Duct configuration and fittings used to connect components are large contributors to static pressure. Other sources of system pressure loss are balancing and control dampers, variable-air-volume (VAV) boxes, diffusers, louvers, coils, filters, and other components in an air stream. Given that velocity pressure is proportional to the square of velocity, pressure loss in most of these components is proportional to velocity squared. This makes size an important factor, as cross-sectional area dictates fluid velocity. For example, reducing air velocity throughout a system by 10 percent would result in a 20-percent reduction in system static pressure. With air power proportional to pressure, this would equate to a 20-percent reduction in energy consumption.

In addition to accounting for all static-pressure loss in a system and achieving required room airflow, a design engineer must adhere to Section 6.5.3 of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, which limits the power (horsepower) a fan can consume per cubic foot per minute of airflow the fan generates. With flow requirements defined, a design engineer must limit system static pressure to meet this power limitation.

System Effect and Industrial Fans and Blowers

A major contributor to energy consumption that often is ignored is system effect. AMCA International defines system effect as “a decrease in fan performance capability, observed as a pressure loss, which results from the effect of fan-inlet restrictions/obstructions, fan-outlet restrictions, or other conditions influencing the performance of the fan when it is installed in a system.”2 System effect is a reduction in a fan’s ability to generate pressure and can be looked at as an additional system pressure loss. It can lead to underperformance, excessive noise, and vibration in a fan and system.

System Effect and Fan Curves

System effect can be described by its impact on a fan curve. Fan curves are produced from laboratory testing, with fans configured for ideal installations. Testing is performed in accordance with ANSI/AMCA Standard 210-07/ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 51-2007, Laboratory Methods of Testing Fans for Certified Aerodynamic Performance Rating. A fan curve displays performance for a constant speed (revolutions per minute) in terms of static pressure vs. volumetric flow rate. In Figure 1, the intersection of the system-resistance curve and the pressure curve is the operating point of the fan. To move along the system curve to alter fan performance, one must increase or decrease fan speed accordingly. Operating power is where the power curve intersects with a vertical line running through the operating point.

Ideal Industrial Blower Fan Inlet & Outlet Conditions

The ideal inlet and outlet conditions under which fans are tested rarely are seen in the field. As a result, a fan will overperform or underperform in terms of flow rate, static pressure, or both. In Figure 2, a suitable fan was selected, but system effect was ignored. The blue lines represent how the fan would perform under AMCA International test conditions. Actual measured performance is indicated by the red dot. The red line shows how the fan would perform in an AMCA International air test when operating at design speed, but takes into account system effect. The only way to achieve the desired performance is to speed the fan to the rate designated by the green line. The consequence is a higher operating speed, higher brake horsepower, and higher sound levels.

Propeller Fan & Tube Axial Fan Selection

Another key to reducing power consumption is fan selection. Generally, propeller or tube-axial fans are more efficient for relatively low static pressures, while centrifugal-type fans are used for relatively high static pressures. Too often, fan selection is based solely on first cost. The consequence is that a relatively small-diameter, high-speed fan is used. A small fan operating at a high speed generally requires more operating power and produces more noise than a large fan operating at a low speed.

Most of the energy lost in a system is converted to heat. For example, mechanical and electrical energy losses in a fan motor raise the surface temperature of the motor. If the motor is in an air stream, the heat will be transferred directly to the air.

Belt Dive Propeller Fans and other Blower Fan Systems

In a belt-driven system, losses are the result of belt friction, slippage, and / or flexing. All such losses are converted to heat and, if the belt drive is in an air stream, increase the temperature of air. Fan losses quantified by fan efficiency contribute to air-temperature rise as well. As a fan works on a fluid, the friction attributed to the airflow decreases the fan’s efficiency and creates heat. As the efficiency of a system decreases, air-temperature rise increases. In a cooling application, this means increased energy consumption on the part of the compressor. Minimizing inefficiencies results in energy savings. It is the engineer’s responsibility to minimize total system pressure through proper design and layout. This involves balancing economics and efficiencies in specifying a fan. But not all responsibility resides with the engineer. The contractor must ensure appropriate equipment is installed and not base decisions solely on the lowest bid. The contractor needs to be aware of the consequences of poor installation and minimize system effects.

The losses accrued in a system directly affect the system’s power consumption while indirectly increasing the energy consumed by other processes. Energy losses in the form of heat equate to higher operating costs.

Because performance conditions are mandated by codes, proper system design, equipment selection, and installation are the most effective means of minimizing inefficiencies and saving energy.
