The challenge
An Alabama industrial facility needed a replacement fan for an existing scrubber system that had experienced corrosion-related equipment issues.
The project required a replacement based on the original equipment configuration while incorporating stainless-steel construction to better accommodate the operating environment.
Maintaining compatibility with the existing installation was an important consideration.
The solution
Dynamic Air Solutions coordinated the selection of an AirPro IEAH 237 industrial fan with 316 stainless-steel airstream and wheel construction.
The specified equipment included a 40 HP motor, coupling, spring isolation, and additional components intended to support operation in the scrubber system.
The project was originally intended to duplicate the existing fan in stainless steel. However, changes introduced during the redesign created complications that require further review.
Equipment & components
Industrial exhaust fan
An AirPro IEAH 237 specified for the scrubber system’s airflow and static-pressure requirements.
316 stainless-steel construction
Stainless-steel airstream and wheel materials specified to address the corrosive operating environment.
40 HP motor and coupling
Motor and drive components configured for the replacement fan assembly.
Spring isolation and structural components
Spring isolators, protective guards, and supporting components included in the specified fan assembly.
Results
Key outcomes:
- Replacement fan specified with 316 stainless-steel construction
- Corrosion-resistant materials selected for the demanding scrubber environment
- Fan configured for 6,474 ACFM at 23.8 inches of static pressure
- 40 HP motor and coupling incorporated into the fan assembly
- Spring isolation and supporting components included in the equipment package
- Replacement design developed around the existing fan’s specifications
Dynamic Air Solutions worked to provide a stainless-steel replacement for an industrial scrubber application, addressing the facility’s equipment requirements and concerns about corrosion.
