INDUSTRIAL FANS
HIGH SPECIFICATION PROCESS FANS
PRODUCTS
Howden designs and manufactures a full range of industrial heavy-duty and cooling fans.
Our fans can be found wherever air or gas has to be moved efficiently and reliably.
We supply fully customised and pre-engineered fans:
Centrifugal fans / Axial fans / Mixed flow fans / Cooling fans
OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES
CENTRIFUGAL FANS
For virtually all industrial applications and arduous
process use. Can be adapted to provide high
velocity output or be used as booster fans.
SIZES: to 4.5 m (180") Impeller diameter
AIR FLOWS:
Single inlet to 500 m3
/s
Double inlet to 1,000 m3
/s
STATIC PRESSURES: Single-stage to 50 kPa
AIR TEMPERATURES: to 540˚C (1,000˚F)
FAN SPEEDS: to 3,600 rpm
STATIC EFFICIENCIES: to 87%
AXIAL FANS
Fixed and variable pitch blade models.
Crossvent(bifurcated) fans enable contaminated
air to be handled.
SIZES: to 3.15 m Impeller diameter
AIR FLOWS: to 300 m3
/s
STATIC PRESSURES: to 3.50 kPa
AIR TEMPERATURES: to 45˚C (113˚F)
FAN SPEEDS: to 3,600 rpm
STATIC EFFICIENCIES: to 80%
MIXED FLOW FANS
Offering the pressure characteristics of a centrifugal
fan in the axial mode. This provides significant space
and weight advantages over its centrifugal equivalent.
COOLING FANS
Our range of cooling fans is specially designed
to operate at peak efficiency in field erected
cooling towers, air-cooled steam condensers and
packaged cooling towers. With the exception of
the K-series, which has aluminium blades, our fans
are manufactured from fibre reinforced polyester.
We supply a wide range of diameters ranging from
0.71 to 20 metres.
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
• Combustion air for fired heaters
and furnaces
• Fertilizer plants
• Incinerator fans
• Sulphur recovery tail gas treatment
• Sulphuric acid plants
• Hydrogen purification plants
