The challenge
The facility needed a fan capable of meeting specific airflow and pressure requirements in an extremely high-temperature environment.
The challenge extended beyond temperature resistance. The fan also needed to maintain stable operation across a range of flows and pressures as process conditions changed.
Achieving the required performance called for careful coordination of equipment design, system layout, and overall process requirements.
The solution
Dynamic Air Solutions worked closely with the customer throughout the project, providing support from initial design through completion.
The team assisted with equipment drawings, layout planning, process design, and airflow requirements to develop a configuration suited to the application.
A custom AirPro P14A 340 fan was selected with specialized high-temperature construction, including a 310 stainless-steel airstream and high-temperature nickel alloy wheel.
Additional features, including flexible inlet and outlet connections, vibration isolation, and a purgeable shaft seal, were incorporated to support reliable operation in the demanding process environment.
Equipment & components
High-temperature centrifugal fan
An AirPro P14A 340 configured for the required airflow and pressure, with construction designed for temperatures up to 1,600°F.
Specialized high-temperature materials
310 stainless-steel airstream construction and a high-temperature nickel alloy wheel selected for the extreme operating conditions.
Purgeable shaft seal
A specialized sealing arrangement incorporated to support operation in the high-temperature process environment.
Flexible connections and vibration isolation
Flexible inlet and outlet connectors, a flexible coupling, and spring isolators incorporated to accommodate equipment movement and support stable installation.
Results
Key outcomes:
- Fan designed for temperatures up to 1,600°F
- Equipment configured for the specified airflow and pressure requirements
- Design developed to address stability across varying operating conditions
- Engineering and layout support provided from initial design through completion
- Fan installed and operating without reported issues
The fan has been successfully installed and is running as expected. While the overall facility was not yet confirmed to be fully operational at the time of the project update, Dynamic Air Solutions remained involved throughout the equipment design and delivery process.
