F - FORWARD CURVED FANS

IAP’s type F forward curve high air volume fan is most commonly used in elevated temperature applications requiring circulation of large volumes of air at low pressures. Excellent low speed fan choice for application as an air kit or plug fan in ovens, dryers and furnaces.

Frequently constructed of stainless steel and nickel alloys for operation at elevated temperatures, type F fans, are also well suited for general industrial ventilation at lower temperatures. When supplied in a standard centrifugal fan confi guration, type F fans, utilize the same continuously welded heavy gauge housings and steel plate pedestals as the Backward Inclined & Airfoil fans. Most common AMCA arrangements are 3 DWDI for general ventilation or air kits and 9 SWSI for plug applications. All wheels are statically and dynamically balanced prior to assembly and all assembled units are final trim balanced at operating speed. 

Type F wheel characteristics include even airfl ow distribution, relatively slow fan speeds, and low noise levels. While an excellent large volume mover, type F fans should not be used in applications where materials can build up in the valley / curve of the blade and cause imbalance.

Low speed, quiet operation and large volume capability make the type F industrial fan well suited for applications in general ventilation air handlers and high temperature clean air industrial systems. A wide range of available modifi cations and accessories make the type F suitable for industrial applications which include:

• General Ventilation
• Cooling And Heating Systems
• Batch Ovens
• Dryers And Curing Furnaces
