The process
Gas fired crematoria need an ID fan to hold the chamber under draft through the after-burner and any scrubber, with dilution air to protect the fan and stack. Quiet running matters at these sites.
The gas
Flue gas after the quench and scrubber is wet, acidic and still carries fine dust. The fan is in stainless steel or lined construction, with a shaft seal and drains, sized at the saturated density.
Fans in this process
| Duty | What it does here | Type usually selected |
|---|---|---|
| ID Fan | Sits at the outlet of a boiler, kiln or furnace and draws the flue gas through the plant to the stack. | Backward curved, backward inclined and radial tipped |
| Combustion Air Blower | Feeds a burner with air at the pressure the burner register needs. | Backward curved and radial tipped |
| Dilution Air Blower | Injects ambient air into a hot flue gas stream to bring it down to a temperature the downstream bag filter or fan can accept.. | Backward curved |
