The structure of fan

1.1.The main composition of fan
Fan mainly consists of the casing, impeller, air inlet, inlet adjusting gate, transmission group,
coupling, and main motor-which drives fan, adjusting gate is powered with the electric
actuator driven through the linkage.
1.2.Case
Case is made of high quality low-alloy steel plates and is welded together snail's body
There are usually welded rebar on the side (outside Tic-Tac grid, inside hollow tube support,
etc.), in order to enhance the rigidity of case side. Outlet of can case is made into 0-225
degrees. For the easy transport, installation and maintenance, large case is made of split type,
in order to facilitate dismantling the rotor group.
1.3.Impeller
Impeller is welded together from a high-quality and high strength steel plates. Wheel covers
are curved cone type which is conducive to take in air. The blades are Welded between the
wheel cover and wheel. Welding seams need detection testing, and aerodynamic performance
is good. Wheel and hub radial are positioned using only the mouth, and are connected with
riveting or hinge bolt and the bolt connection system, the overall impeller through the static
and dynamic balance correction, operation is stable
1.4.Suction
Suction is made of the overall structure of the convergent-cone -streamline type, which is
fixed with bolt to the fan side of the entrance. Inlet conditions are good. Suction is installed
with control valve.
