Widely recognized for design efficiency and integrity, Canada Blower airfoil wheel has ideal characteristics for variable air volume systems. The fan’s deep spun inlet and hyperbolic wheel cone plus generous fan housing proportions provide a smooth stable air flow over the entire performance range. Precision balancing assures quieter vibration-free operation that adds to the overall reliability and performance of Canada Blower’s airfoil fans.
The heart of Canada Blower AF centrifugal fan is the airfoil wheel, the most efficient type for clean air applications. This fan has an enviable reputation for performance and reliability in a multitude of ventilating applications, including industrial supply or fume exhaust systems. The Canada Blower single width airfoil fan is a rugged fan built to Canada Blower’s industrial level of quality and long-term dependability.
Canada Blower single-width fans are offered in Sizes 13 to 89, with pressures to 20″ WG and volumes to 220,000 CFM. Ventilator construction flexibility is one ofthe strengths of the fan, available in several AMCA arrangements, including 1, 3, 8and 9 to meet any installation requirement. Canada Blower also offers an alternate Design 51RA fan series especially suited for lower pressure ventilating applications.
Industrial Airfoil FANS are available in the following sizes, fan wheel designs, and air flow & pressure ranges.
| Fan Sizes | Fan Wheel Design | Air Volume & Static Pressure |
| 245-1200 | BI – Backward Inclined Blades | To 186,000 CFM & 16″ W.G. |
| 365-1200 | AF – Airfoil Fan Blades | To 188,000 CFM & 16″ W.G. |
| 1320-2175 | BC – Backward Curved Blades | To 710,000 CFM & 16″ W.G. |
Aerodynamic ventilator wheel features include non-overloading fan horsepower characteristics and high efficiency.
AF fan wheels, including blower blades, fan wheel flange and backplate, are also made of high-strength steel as standard. Acoustafoil fan blades are die-formed and welded to the spun wheel flange and fan wheel backplate.
BC backward-curved fan wheels are made of die-formed, high-strength steel fan blades, die-formed steel flange and steel fan backplate as standard. Blower blades are welded to fan wheel flange and fan impeller backplate.
Bl and AF double-width, double inlet fan wheels utilize a common center plate blower wheel design. BC double-width, double-inlet fans utilize two BC fan wheels.
All Canada Blower Airfoil fan wheels are offered with cast iron hubs. Fan wheel hubs are designed with a high hub-to-wheel ratio which adds to the overall structural integrity of the ventilator wheel. Blower blades hubs are straight bored to a close tolerance fit to the fan shaft. Wheel / ventilator hub assemblies are keyed and set screwed to lock the wheel to the fan shaft.
State-of-the-art CAD tools are used to design and detail the entire fan line. Multi-light source shading of a 3-D model is shown.
CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN OPTIONS
Inspection and Access Fan Doors are gasketed, hinged and shaped to conform with the fan scroll contour. Handled fasteners are used to secure the closed door. All hardware remains on the fan when open. Raised doors to facilitate application of external fan insulation are also available.
Split Fan Housings are fitted with bolted companion surfaces along the horizontal center line as standard. Other horizontal, vertical and pie-shaped splits are available. Splits are used for access to fan interior, to meet restricted openings or because of shipping dimensional constraints.
Blower Shaft Seals are constructed of a non-ferrous material with close tolerance to shaft diameter. Attached to the fan housing the shaft seals limit air leakage around the fan shaft.
Fan Outlet Connections. Slip connection is standard on Class 1 & 2. Flanged fan outlet connection is standard on Class 3. Flanged ventilator connection is also available as an option for Class 1 & 2. Drilling of blower flange is available.
Fan Drain Connections are half pipe couplings with or without a flange welded to the fan scroll at its lowest point.
Inlet Connections can be furnished with a square or round, slip or flanged connection. Drilling of flange is available.
Channel Base. All fan arrangements can be furnished with a sub-base. Fan bases are made of structural steel and can be provided with or without vibration isolators. Inertia bases that can be filled with concrete after installation are also available.
FAN VOLUME CONTROL:
Variable Fan Inlet Vanes are available as an option for all classes of fans.
Blower Outlet Dampers are available with opposed and parallel blades. Fan Dampers are designed to match fan outlet velocity, pressures and temperature and have flange connections. Fans require a flanged outlet if damper is to be mounted on the fan.
OSHA GUARDING:
Fan Belt Guards and Shaft Guards are standard per OSHA requirements. Constructed of mill galvanized steel, belt guards are solid or perforated metal sides with openings for tachometer readings. Shaft guards are perforated metal. Shaft guards are used for blower heat slinger guarding. When a fan shaft guard is used in conjunction with a belt guard, the entire rotating assembly is guarded.
Fan Coupling guards are furnished to OSHA standards. Constructed of mill galvanized steel, the coupling guard bolts in place.
Ventilator Inlet and Outlet Screens of galvanized steel are furnished per OSHA requirements.
Fan Weather Covers are furnished to OSHA standards of mill galvanized steel on arrangement 10 fans. Covers motor, drive, fan shaft and bearing on ventilator ,fan, blower, PRV, propeller, industrial, building ventilation, ventilating and cooling, high volume air circulation, gas circulating, wall & roof exhaust fans, supply ventilators , air circulator, gas recirculator, mobile fume exhausters.
