| Application Of Pulp And Paper In Fan Industry Date Added: December 25, 2008 03:08:55 AM |
| The paper manufacturing industry utilizes fans for power boilers, recovery boilers, lime kilns, dissolving tanks, and dryers. These applications, which are integral to the production process, are often very corrosive. Reliability and durability of fans and blowers for such applications are vital for continuous operation. Canada Blower fans for demanding and corrosive applications ofer real value - saving on future downtime and maintenance costs. Boiler fans create efficient combustion by supplying a consistent and reliable ait flow. Induce Draft Fans (I.D. Fans) operate at elevated temperatures and draw the air stream through the combustion chamber, then push it through pollution control equipment. Forced Draft (F.D. Fans) or Combustion Air Fans push the air stream into the boiler combustion chamber. Multi-Fuel Burning Power Boilers are used to create steam for different power needs. Induced Draft Fans are typically AMCA arrangement 3, single or double inlet with inlet box(es). Wheels often require abrasion resistant construction with radial tip or backwardly curved blades. Combustion Air FD Fans are typicallyconstructed of carbon steel, and utilize airfoil or backward inlined blade design. Common AMCA arrangements for combustion air fans are arrangement 3 and 8, both with inlet vane or outlet damper control. Exhaust Fans are typically used on the suction side of a scrubber or fabric filter, and pull the air / gas stream through the piping and cleaning device. Dissolving tanks are used in conjunction with Recovery Boilers to recapture process chemicals. Exhaust Fans draw hydrogen sulfide or sulfuric acid fumes through a wet scrubber. This corrosive atmosphere can require either FRP, stainless steel or alloy construction. Exhaust fans can be in either belt or direct drive arrangements. Lime Kilns may be used to recover lime used in paper manufacturing. The fans used in this process often require high pressure and handle corrosive gas streams. Many dryers are used in the paper manufacturing process. These drying applications utilize fans extensively. Most of these applications are not extremely demanding on the fan equipment - except the Yankee Dryers that are used for the manufacturing of tissue, and require a rugged fan dersign to handle high temperature (up to 800 F) and pressure requirements. Arrangement 8 direct driven fans allow for access and maintenance of fan components. Accessories often include labyrinth or lip type shaft seals, insulated housings or thermal blankets, raised access doors, shaft cooling wheel and safety guards. Of course, we know a lot of application of pulp and paper in some industries. But things above emphasied the most important of pulp and paper in industrializing age. |
