things to consider when selecting industrial fans for biomass
TRANSCRIPT
This week we look at the top things to consider when selecting industrial fans for use within biomass and biofuel generation
Industrial Fans For Biomass & Biofuel
If using an industrial fan for use in a heavy application, the fan selector must ensure that there is enough pressure generated by the fan to achieve the desired results.
For example in woodchip applications, we must consider how much there is and how thick it may be. With the correct pressure, in this example, the woodchip can be dried effectively to pass on to the end user.
Pressure
When selecting the fan suitable, it is important to recognise the type of installation. Is the industrial fan to be installed directly into the equipment to produce or extract air?
Using the example of a wood chip burner, an industrial fan may be attached to the machine to pump air and therefore increase the temperature. The right industrial fan will need to be chosen for the project.
Type Of Install
If the life expectancy of the project is around 20 years, an effective maintenance programme is essential.
It is important to know how often to maintain and check the industrial fan components in order to keep the equipment running smoothly and to its optimum performance.
Maintenance Programme
Control is important because it can be set for the benefit of the application. In the instance of wood chip boilers, fire could be blown out if it is too strong and would also lose the fire if not strong enough.
Setting efficient control may also assist in achieving cost effective saving on energy consumption and can be done automatically saving time in the future.
Control
If using heat exchangers, the temperature will be too hot for certain industrial fans. It is very common for high temperatures in biomass applications. Therefore the selected fan must be suitable for the application..
Temperature
The right selection of air volume helps with the heat transfer in biomass applications.
Too much and the heat cannot be felt, too little and there would be too much heat. Not only will the desired affect not be achieved but energy could be wasted in the process.
