The process
Engine rooms need ventilation sized for the radiator heat and the combustion air, with silencers on the intake and exhaust openings where the site has noise limits.
The gas
Clean ambient air at site temperature. Density is close to standard and the fan is selected on efficiency and noise with no allowance for dust or corrosion.
Fans in this process
| Duty | What it does here | Type usually selected |
|---|---|---|
| Ventilation Fan | Moves air through a plant or building for fresh air supply, heat removal and fume dilution where the system is ducted. | Backward inclined and forward curved |
| HVAC | Supply, return and exhaust fans for heating, ventilation and air conditioning of plant and office space. | Axial, backward inclined and forward curved |
| Fan Silencer | An absorptive silencer at the fan inlet, outlet or in the duct, cutting fan noise with minimum pressure loss.. | Silencer |
| Vent Silencer | Cuts the noise from steam or gas expanding from high pressure to atmosphere at safety valve outlets, start-up vents and blow-down lines.. | Silencer |
| Roof Extractor | An axial fan in a weatherproof cowl mounted on an inclined or flat roof, exhausting hot air from the ridge of a factory shed.. | Axial |
