Centrifugal Fan

Writes on Reitz Centrifugal Fans &
Reitz India centrifugal blower fans
technologies.
When a centrifugal fan is to be installed for any industrial process, the
airflow requirement has to be determined before considering different fan
arrangements to accomplish the desired performance. Fans typically work
better when they have optimal size that fits ideally in the designated area,
placed in the right location to withstand the operational conditions and
have proper drive method to modulate the speed. When considering
different centrifugal fan arrangements, the motor will have various
placement settings with respect to the drive side of the fan. The fan can
use different drive methods, depending on whether the motor is
independent of the fan as in belt drive arrangement or motor connected
directly to the fan axle or shaft as in direct drive configuration.
Here are some typical fan arrangements defined for single width single
inlet and double width double inlet centrifugal fans.
Arrangement 1 : SWSI (Single Width Single Inlet)
This is for belt or direct drive connection. The impeller is overhung on
the motor shaft and two bearings mounted on pedestal base.
Alternative arrangement: Bearings mounted on independent pedestal,
with or without inlet box.
Arrangement 2 : SWSI (Single Width Single Inlet)
This type of arrangement is similar to the above except that the
impeller is directly overhung to the shaft with bearings and a
coupling mounted on bracket supported by fan housing or casing.
