Application

Fans are used in industry to generate a flow of clean or dust-laden air as well as exhaust gases. The gas temperatures can be as high as 400oC, reaching 450oC for short periods. The FLS High-Pressure Fans, Type XP work at pressures up to 19,200 Pa and with performances up to 190 m 3 /s and are designed to operate in the cement industry environment. The impeller has bolted-on plane, radial blades which are easy to replace when worn or when major changes in performance are required. The fan has an access door for inspection of the impeller and to facilitate the replacement of blades. The fan hub and impeller are balanced statically and dynamically to ensure vibration- free operation. The heavy duty design eliminates an emergency drive which would otherwise be necessary during power cuts. FLS High-Pressure Fans, Type XP , are fitted with self-aligning spherical roller or ball bearings. For operating temperatures above 150oC

Design and operation

the shaft is fitted with a cooling disc to prevent overheating of the bearing. The bearings are bolted to the base frame which is grouted into the concrete foundation. In smaller fans, however, the casing and the base frame are integrated into one unit. Motor power is transmitted via a V-belt pulley (up to 250 kW) or by flexible coupling and a gear. Highest operating economy is attained by using a thyristor-controlled motor. Maintenance requirements are small. Lubricating frequency depends on operational conditions. The bearing temperatures may rise to 100oC. Monitoring equipment to guard against excessive vibration in bearings is available as required. Thermal sensors are included in fans from size 160 and upwards. Size 160 and above are restricted to seven standard handings, but this restriction does not apply to sizes 50-140. Type designations are XPF or XPW followed by digits indicating impeller diameter (cm).

Example : Exhaust gas with a density of 1.2 kg/m3 to be handled at a rate of 10 m3/s at a total pressure of 6,000 Pa. Solution : XPF 180 Operates at optimum efficiency XPW 140 Operates at optimum efficiency (higher than XPF) The XPF types are recommended for parallel operation. Power consumption : ~ 80 kW Total weights: XPF 180 3,000 kg XPF 140 1,370 kg Type Size 50/... 63/... 80/... 100/... 125/... 140/... 160/... 180/... 200/... 224/... 250/... 280/... 315/... 355/... 400/... 450/... 500/...
