Roof Exhaust Fans – Canada Fans Industrial Blowers & Fans

Industrial Fans & Noise

The important factor to consider is the fan’s blade pass frequency, which is a pure tone produced when the blades of the fan wheel (impeller) rotate past the housing cut-off sheet in centrifugal fans, or the turning vanes, in axial fans. The blade pass frequency is calculated by multiplying the number of blades times the rotating speed in revolutions per minute. If this frequency matches the natural frequency of the ductwork, it can excite the ductwork, which can cause it to resonate, thereby increasing the noise level. Because of this possible increase in sound, and because certain pure tones are irritating to people, the sound output of the blade pass frequency should be investigated when sound reduction is desired. The next factor to consider is the fan design. Generally a fan operating at peak mechanical efficiency will produce less noise, because high efficiencies result from minimal air turbulence within the fan.

The sound generated by some fans can be a potential hazard to personnel in close proximity to the fan, and the sound can be transmitted, via the ductwork connected to the fan, to all areas serviced by the fan. Because of these concerns, fan manufacturers publish sound ratings for their products to serve as a guide for selecting fans to meet sound specifications, and to assist acoustical consultants in predicting the total noise levels in specific environments. This article provides basic information to help understand fan sound ratings and how to apply them. Like any mechanical device, fans generate sound, which emanates naturally from the turbulence of moving air, the mechanics of moving parts of the fan, and from vibration.

Air turbulence within the fan increases the sound coming from the air movement. The noise resulting from air turbulence is a major factor in the sound levels of a fan in a specific application. Further, duct work can transmit this turbulent noise to all areas serviced by the fan. Factors contributing to air turbulence include the resistance to flow, flow separation along fan surfaces, and shock related to abrupt changes in the direction of airflow, pressure, or velocity. A lower noise level can be achieved by reducing air turbulence. This can be done by considering several factors related to air movement when selecting fans.

Industrial Centrifugal Fans Design

There are four basic centrifugal fan wheel designs – forward curved, backwardly inclined, radial, and radial tip – and a variety of axial flow wheel designs. Each wheel design has unique sound characteristics due to the way they handle air, and the efficiencies they can achieve. Fan speed does not always determine which fan will be quieter. For example, centrifugal fans have higher amplitudes at lower frequencies, while axial fans exhibit higher amplitudes at the higher frequencies. The amplitude of the blade pass frequency on an axial fan is higher and more pronounced than on backwardly-inclined fans, and commonly will have amplitude peaks at multiples of this frequency.

Backward Inclined Fans

Of the four centrifugal designs, the backwardly inclined fans are the most efficient, and therefore, the quietest. Those with airfoil-shaped blades offer the highest efficiencies, for clean air environments, while those with single-thickness blades can be used in applications where light dust or moisture is present, although the efficiencies are somewhat lower.

Axial & Vaneaxial Industrial Fans

Certain types of axial fans offer the next highest efficiencies. An excellent example is the Vaneaxial fan that uses airfoil shaped blades in an in-line flow design. This fan is used to handle high volumes of clean air at low pressures, which is a typical ventilation application.

Radial Blade Fans

Radial fans are typically low efficiency, open designs for special purpose applications, such as bulk material handling, or exhausting / supplying lower volumes of air at higher pressures. A radial fan will be much louder than a backwardly-inclined fan operating under the same volume and pressure conditions.

Radial Tip Fans

Radial Tip fans, commonly used to handle larger volumes of air that contains particles or material, exhibit sound characteristics similar to the radial fans. The sound spectra of radial and radial tip fans contain amplitude spikes at various frequencies, and a noticeable spike at the blade pass frequency.

Forward Curve Fans

The forward-curved fan design operates at speeds that are much slower than the other fan types, which results in lower noise levels from mechanical operation and vibration. However, because of its modest efficiencies, a forward curved fan may be noisier than a backwardly-inclined fan when operating at comparable volume and pressure. The sound spectrum of the forward-curved fan shows a slower rate of reduction in amplitudes than the other centrifugal types, and because of the large number of blades, the blade pass frequency occurs much later in the spectrum and is not predominant.

Industrial Fan Components

The moving components of the fan – the motor, bearings, and drive – produce sound. This too can be transmitted through the system via the fan structure or shaft, or when these components are in the airstream. Motor sound will vary with speed, enclosure, electrical characteristics, and even the manufacturer. Antifriction bearings can be used to reduce bearing noise, and proper drive selection will reduce the likelihood of belt hop, or slap. Of course, proper maintenance must be employed to keep the moving parts running smoothly, and quietly.

Excessive vibration can significantly add to the overall noise level of an installation. This will occur if the fan or any of its components are not adequately balanced, if the fan is installed on an insufficient foundation, or if the fan is not properly isolated from other system components. For example, it is not uncommon for the fan’s support structure or ductwork to have a natural frequency at the fan’s operating speed or blade pass frequency, either of which can cause the system to resonate at that frequency, increasing the sound levels, and the possibility of damaging the installation. These risks can be eliminated by changing the speed of the fan, installing appropriate isolation, and / or detuning of the fan or affected system components.

dBA is a useful measurement for evaluating the overall noise level at a particular location, but this measurement takes into account all of the sound sources affecting that particular location, which include the sounds from all equipment in the area, natural sounds of the environment, and from other environmental factors. Some of these factors are the current physical properties of the air such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, whether the location is outside or inside, the size and material of the room. All of these affect the sound pressure experienced by the listener, and recorded by the sound level meter.

Published fan sound power ratings and corrections only reflect noise created by air turbulence within the fan. Because of the infinite variables, mechanical noise and vibration noise are impossible to accurately predict, and are not included in the rating.

Industrial Ventilators – High Temperature

One of the most critical components of the fan are the bearings. So naturally if the bearings are kept out of the hot airstream they are less susceptible to the effects of the high temperature, and therefore the air temperature can be higher than the limiting temperature of the bearings. Inline fans inherently have drive components in the airstream. In such cases, the unit can sometimes be designed so that cooler outside air is drawn over the drive components, providing some additional cooling. Incorporating this type of external cooling is one of the main reasons Northern Fan medium pressure tube axial inline fan (TBI) can be used for high temperature exhaust applications. There are, however, some arrangements that donÕt allow for the incorporation and benefits of external cooling. For instance, fans in arrangement 3 have the wheel suspended in-between the two bearings. Consequently, one or both of the bearings will always be located in the air stream. Similarly, direct drive fans are limited by the maximum operating temperature of the motor, since the motor is located directly in the hot air stream. That is why most often high temperature exhaust fans are required to be belt driven units; typically the motor is the temperature-limiting component of the unit when it is installed in the airstream. Other than the installation location of the bearing within the fan assembly, other critical points to consider include the type of lubrication in the bearing, as well as the construction of the bearing itself. There is a seemingly endless list of lubricants available for most any application, but the appropriate lubricant can add considerable life to bearing operation. In addition, high temperature bearings can be constructed with inherent construction modifications, such as a larger grease cavity to hold more lubricant.

Industrial Fan Design

Another common variation to the standard fan design is the addition of insulation. The bearing mounting plate, bearing cover and belt tube are the most likely components to be insulated for a high temperature application. Northern Fan automatically includes insulation for these components on all fans specified with either HT Option III or HT Option IV.

Exhaust Fans

It is important to understand that emergency smoke exhaust fans are designed to operate effectively for the temperature and time limits stated as long as the power supply to the fan is not terminated. Since they are not designed to sustain higher temperatures for continuous use, exposure to the extreme high temperatures caused by a fire likely would destroy some or all parts of the fan once the time design limit has elapsed, rendering it incapable of future operation.

High Temperature Fans

Fans that are built for continuous high temperature ventilation have many of the same construction features and options as those built for emergency smoke exhaust. For example, both are typically constructed of higher temperature ferrous materials, have high temperature bearings, have the motor and drive installed either out of the airstream or with some type of additional cooling capabilities, and incorporate some heat shielding or insulation. There are, however, some distinct differences between the fan designs for the two application categories. One of the most common applications for which continuous duty high temperature exhaust fans are specified is commercial kitchen ventilation.

Fans that are specified for continuous operation at higher temperatures need to be carefully selected taking into account air density corrections. Although a fan will move the same amount of air at two different temperatures, the static pressure and horsepower requirements can change drastically as the density of the air varies with changing temperatures. For example, if a fan moves 3,000 CFM at 70 F it will also move 3,000 cfm at 500 F. However, since the hotter air weighs much less than the 70 F air, the fan will require less brake horsepower and will create less static pressure.

There are also some accessories and construction options that are incorporated into high temperature process fans to increase the limiting temperature. For example, a heat slinger can be installed on the shaft between the fan housing and the inboard bearing. A heat slinger is an aluminum disc that absorbs and dissipates some of the heat conducted along the shaft before it travels to the bearings. Many heat slingers incorporate fans that promote additional inboard bearing cooling because it circulates air with every rotation of the shaft.

Another common construction technique is the use of a heat gap. A heat gap is a physical gap between the bearing support structure and the hot fan housing. This separation slows the process of heat conduction to the bearings and drive components through the housing and support structure. An expansion bearing should be installed where the fan shaft is predicted to conduct enough heat that it could expand to a length greater than that of the structure to which it is secured. This allows for expansion of the shaft within the bearing due to the higher temperatures.

High temperature applications can be found in many different areas of the air movement and control industry. It is important to remember that one high temperature fan design is not suited to all applications.

Industrial Extractor Fans

Industrial extractor fans come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and strengths so it can be difficult to choose the best one for your restaurant kitchen. There are roughly seven different sizes that are available from 315mm to 630mm which can be mounted in a few different ways. Many businesses prefer the axial style of fan as it can be used for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss these machines and hopefully make your choice of fan a bit easier.

One of the common drawbacks of industrial extractor fans is how loud they are. This can be such a problem that most restaurant managers choose to run them only when the amount of steam, smoke, and pollutants in the air reaches an intolerable level. However, there are some high end models that can run in a Quiet Mode that doesn’t make that much noise at all and even can be run all the time if you choose. You may even want to run the fan a bit after your staff has finished for the day in order to clear up any residual pollutants that may remain in the air.

If you are currently looking at the different options of industrial extractor fans you have available, you will have to decide whether you would like a model that uses ducts or one that uses filters. The former choice is the most efficient as it can take the polluted air directly out of your building and replace it with clean air. Your other option, the filtered models, do not do as well because they will recycle the same air within your building only they run it through a charcoal filter first to make it cleaner. While a ducted model is preferred in most situations, they can be a bit more on the expensive side. Not to mention, you may not have the space necessary to fit the ducts.

It is important that you find industrial extractor fans that have been built to last. Therefore, try to find a model that is built from steel as this is a durable metal that is sure to last. Also be on the lookout for one that is coated in corrosion proof paint and has steel wire guards as well for optimum protection. It is also a good idea to pay special attention to the kind of motor each model features. Try to find one that is lightweight, but works well and is built to last.

One final thing you will have to take into consideration is how you will install your fan. You will find that most axial industrial extractor fans may be installed in various ways such as:

– Mounted on the wall with special brackets

– Placed freestanding in the center of the room

– Hung from the ceiling with chains

– Inline with your ductwork

Industrial Ventilators for Ventilation

Industrial ventilation is of paramount importance to ensure the safety and well-being of employees. In industries where employees are subjected to dangerous chemicals, vapours and gasses on a daily basis, effective industrial ventilation can mean the difference between life and death. The basic concepts behind industrial ventilation are quite simple, but for it to be effective, the ventilation system needs to be installed by an experienced engineer.

Industrial Ventilation Methods

Industrial ventilation is a method of controlling employee exposure toxic chemicals, volatile airborne substances and flammable vapours by removing the contaminated air and replacing it with clean, fresh air. Used in a variety of different industries where poisonous vapours may be a problem, industrial ventilation is most often employed to remove welding and solvent vapours, oil mists and poisonous or volatile dust.

But, industrial ventilation may not always be necessary. True, it should be preferable for the continued health of your employees, but regulations suggest that industrial ventilation only becomes compulsory when:

•the levels of contaminants exceed regulated levels;
•the lower explosive limit of flammable vapours is exceeded; or
•when the oxygen concentration in an area drops below 19.5%.

Industrial ventilation should also be considered before respirators. Not only is the system easier to maintain, but, in the long run, is a much more cost effective method of air purity control.

Industrial Ventilator Options

There are a number of industrial ventilation options available depending on the circumstances of your industry’s circumstances. The most basic is indoor quality ventilation that aims to provide fresh air throughout a building as part of the existing ventilation system. This option is primarily used in offices but can be effective in small industries where the concentration of contaminants is low.

Easy to maintain and inexpensive to set up is dilution ventilation. This form of industrial ventilation uses large and powerful exhaust fans to extract contaminated air and to draw in clean air. It is very effective in clearing flammable vapours but is less effective for metal fumes or large concentrations of highly toxic materials. Depending on where the industry is located, the incoming air may require a lot of cooling or heating before it can be introduced into the industrial ventilation system, increasing the cost of using the system.

Dilution Ventilation Principles

Dilution ventilation uses the simple principles of displacement and dilution to function. Some of the contaminated air is removed and replaced with large amounts of fresh air. The concentration of the contamination is effectively lowered, making it safer for people to work in the area.

A more localised industrial ventilation system is local exhaust ventilation. This system captures the contaminations at the source and expels it before it has a chance to disperse into the air. For highly toxic contaminants or high concentrations, this industrial ventilation is probably one of the best. It does not require large amounts of fresh incoming air since the exhaust of contaminants is localised. This effective ventilation comes at a higher cost and more frequent maintenance, however.

Local Exhaust Ventilation

Local exhaust ventilation works like a vacuum cleaner forcing contaminated air to move from a high concentration to a low concentration. It is perhaps one of the most effective industrial ventilation systems because it removes the contaminants at the source before it has a chance to spread.

There are effective industrial ventilation systems available for any industry. Some are simple to use, like dilution ventilation, while others are specifically made for highly toxic environments, like local exhaust ventilation. Whatever the decision, as long as the industrial ventilation keeps your employees safe from the contaminations of the substances they work with, it is doing its job.

Mixed Flow Inline Fans

Made by Canada Fans Co. high pressure MVA series mixed flow inline ventilators finally resolves the problem of pushing air through high resistance and long ventilation ducts.

Mixed Flow fans are an excellent choice for return air, supply, or general ventilation applications where low sound is critical. As compared to similarly sized tubular centrifugals and vane axials, a mixed flow fan will be 5-20 dB quieter! In addition, the mixed flow wheel is extremely efficient and will cut down on operating expenses.

Unique features of the MVA Mixed Flow Fans include:

– Universal Mounting System that allows the unit to be field rotated at the job site
– Compact design with standard slip-fit duct connections for ease of installation
– UL/CSA listing for electrical is available
– Continuously welded housing with a standard powder paint finish suitable for indoor or outdoor applications
– A complete three plane vibration test of all assembled fans prior to shipment

Mixed Flow Inline Fan: Model MVAB:

* Belt drive construction with motor out of the airstream
* Air Handling Quality bearings selected with a minimum life in excess of L(10) 50,000 hours at the maximum operating speed
* Performance capacities from 1,000 to 100,000 cfm (1,700 – 165,000 m3/hour) and pressures up to 8 in. wg. (2000 Pa)

Mixed Flow Inline Fan: Model MVAD:

* Direct drive construction eliminates belts, pulleys, and shaft bearing maintenance
* MVAD design is more compact for space critical application
* Partial wheel widths allow for wide performance capacities ranging from 500 to 105,000 cfm (900 – 170,000 m3/hour) and pressures up to 9 in. w.g. (2300PA)

Vaneaxial Fans

Another in-line fan for for air moving in round ducts by Canada Fans is a high pressure small vaneaxial fan finally resolves the problem of boosting air flow in long ventilation ducts of today’s large residential houses.

For a long time the efficient ventilation of remote rooms in the large houses could be done only with two independent air supply sources (like a furnace). Ventilating ductwork in contemporary large houses becomes so long and elaborated that even a high pressure furnace fan couldn’t generate enough static pressure to blow through the whole length of such a duct. The existing low pressure booster duct fans, even though compact enough to be installed in-line in the house ventilation ductwork, still do not provide enough booster pressure / airflow. The usual solution to this problem was installation of two independent furnaces with different air ducts, which is rather expensive option.

High Pressure Fans

A new high pressure (up to 1.5″ WG) small vaneaxial Series VA fan is an ideal booster fan for prolonged ducts. Unlike inline centrifugal ventilator, that also generates rather high pressure, the air comes out not from a peripheral outlet ring area, but distributes evenly across its outlet opening like in true axial blowers.

The other advantages of VA Series vaneaxial ventilators is their intrinsic spark-resistant construction because of all-aluminum construction; quiet operation of true vaneaxial design; lower energy consumption due to efficient wheel design.

Eight different sizes from 6″ DIA to 10″ DIA offer wide performance range for any ventilation duct design. Direct drive design ensures long live, maintenance-free operation. Explosion proof motors are available too, as well as sliding dampers, various mounting options, additional sound isolation.

Selecting an Industrial Fan

The air delivering capacity of axial flow fans ranges from 100 to 500,000 cubic feet per minute (3,000 to 15,000 cubic meters per minute). Impellers usually have blades with airfoil cross-sections.

Axial Fans

In an axial fan, the effective progress of the air is straight through the impeller at a constant distance from the axis. The primary component of blade force on the air is directed axially from inlet to outlet and thus provides the pressure rise by a process that may be called direct blade action.

The blade force necessarily has an additional component in the tangential direction, providing the reaction to the driving torque : this sets the air spinning about the axis independently of its forward motion.

As compared to curved sheet blades, aerofoils can apply greater force to the air, thereby increasing maximum pressure and can maintain better efficiency over a wider range of volumetric flow. Also by increasing the thickness & curvature of the inner sections, the blades can be made stiffer, this limits flutter and allows the impellers to be run at higher speeds.

Selection of a a right fan one should consider such factors like cost optimization, power rating & noise levels govern the selection of a fan suitable for a given application. Various combinations are possible to meet any given duty or operating requirements for best performance, lesser noise, power and cost characteristics.

Once the volume of airflow and the static pressure of the system are known, it is possible to specify a fan. The governing principle in fan selection is that any given fan can only deliver one flow at one pressure in a given system. To select a fan one must consider the following parameters:

– total airflow required

– total operating pressure

– fan installation space

The fan efficiency is defined as the ratio of air power (output) to shaft power requirement (input). An optimally designed fan impeller with improved aerodynamics requires less shaft input power for desired delivery of air volume with total pressure rise as per the system requirement. With reduced shaft power requirement, there is a commensurate reduction in energy consumption.

Thus the fan efficiency is directly contingent upon selection of fan and the operating point relevant to the system resistance.

The way fan impellers (blades or rotors) are designed, the amount of air they can move decreases as the pressure they are working against increases.

The airflow vs. pressure information for a particular fan is called the fan performance data. The performance of a fan depends on the size, shape & speed of the impeller. The fan performance data is essential for selecting fans as per the desired airflow and system pressure.

Most fans are tested using procedures specified by Air Movement and Control Association International Inc. (AMCA), Illinois, USA. The fan under test is mounted near the outlet of the test rig and air in-flow through the rig is varied by the movable gate assembly situated at the other end of the test rig.

The airflow through the rig is determined by measurement of the pressure differential and simultaneous readings are taken of the static pressure developed by the fan, air velocity at the exit side, power consumed by the fan driving motor etc.

Fan performance curves and data show how much pressure and airflow a given fan can produce at a given speed. This data is based on the system resistance (pressure) occurring away from the fan. Fan performance curves are developed by fan manufacturers based on the testing of a prototype fan fabricated based on the theoretical design.

The axial flow fans are widely used for providing the required airflow for heat & mass transfer operations in various industrial equipment and processes. These include cooling towers for air-conditioning & ventilation, humidifiers in textile mills, air-heat exchangers for various chemical processes, ventilation & exhaust as in mining industry etc. All the major industries use large number of axial flow fans for operations, such as :

– Power generation

– Petroleum refining & petrochemicals

– Cement industry

– Chemicals & pharmaceuticals production

– Fertilizer production

– Mining manufacturing

– Humidification in textile mills

– building Ventilation, etc..

Axial Fans & Blowers – High Temperature

Canada Fans Co. now offers high temperature construction on its axial fans. There are a few steps of fan heat construction available: 200 F, 725 F, 800 F. High temperature inline fans are ideal for industrial oven and dryer exhaust systems where pressure requirements are minimal and compact light-weight designs are advantageous.

High Temperature Fans

200 F High Temperature Duct Fans come with special heat bearings and a belt drive with increased safety factor.

Tubeaxial Fans

650 F Tubeaxial Fan design involves special belt tunnel cooling system that induces a flow of cooler, ambient air through the belt well and inner tube, cooling the fan’s internal components. Depending on temperature requirements, modifications include high-temperature alloy fan wheel, special drive components, and modifications to provide internal ambient air cooling.

Fans with ambient air cooling systems handling hot airstreams must have sufficient airflow and be kept in operation until airstream temperatures cool below 120 F to prevent damage to the fan unit. The Tubeaxial fan ambient air cooling system is only effective while fan is operating.

Vaneaxial Fans

800 F Vaneaxial Fans are designed to operate continuously at temperatures to 800 deg. F, and include an auxiliary cooling fan that forces air through the bearing compartment and exits out through the insulated belt opening taking away excessive heat from the shaft and bearings. A high temperature shaft seal is also standard on this design.

Fans handling hot airstreams must have sufficient airflow and be kept in operation until airstream temperatures cool below 120 F to prevent damage to the fan unit. The Tubeaxial fan ambient air cooling system is only effective while fan is operating.

High Temperature Fans Specifications

The Canada Fans complete high temperature fans line now include:

– Operating up to 2200 F, centrifugal, axial and plug fan types;
– Pre-engineered and custom made fans for all types of applications with vaiety of impeller types and accessories;
– Canada Fans engineers provide a professional advice and recommend a right fan for every application & oven / plenum design;
– The fan offering provides competitive replacement fans to Garden City, Lau, IGE, Alloy Fabricating fan models; repairs, re-build & balancing;
– Unique high temperature water-cooled motors for operation up to 2300 F;

in the two major types of high temperature fans – centrifugal and axial:

Centrifugal Wheels:

* Multiblade forward curve wheel. This type of wheel is usually specified where there is a necessity for large volumes of flow against low to medium static pressure requirements. The forward curve blade is that it delivers the same volume of air as either the backward or radial blade wheel, at a lower fan speed, which is important due to wheel stresses at elevated temperatures. This fan is the most common type used in all types of heat treatment operations except where a buildup of material on the blades could occur, as wheel unbalance would result.
* Radial Blade, paddle wheel type fans. This type of wheel is usually specified where there is a necessity for medium volumes of flow against medium to large static pressures. The paddle wheel is considered a self cleaning type of wheel. It could be used where there are various materials or dust in the air stream. Due to its structurally strong design, it is used in many heat treatment applications at very high temperatures where maximum fan longevity is desired.

Axial Blade Wheels:

* The axial blade wheel is usually specified where there is a need for very large volumes of flows against low static pressure. Axial wheel like the multi-blade forward curve type wheel could cause an axial fan to deliver different air volumes at the same static pressure, if the total pressure requirement of the fan system was underestimated. This type of fan is ideally suited where a large volume of flow is required with a minimum of duct work and is used extensively for small and large furnaces, such as aluminum annealing.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) provide the desired non-corrosive quality to the fan blades, resulting the operation of fans even in the very aggressive environment. Lightweight FRP fans also ensure a low moment of inertia, minimum wear & stress on motor, bearing and drive system.

Hollow FRP blades reduce material & installation costs and possibility of damage to the fan & drive during sudden stops. Composite structural design can be tailor made by using glass fibres in various forms (woven mat & rovings) in right direction while moulding the impeller with resin thus imparting the desired mechanical strength by improving its structural stability and enhanced mechanical properties.

Aerofoil design of fan impellers ensures higher efficiency, lower noise levels & less power consumption. The aerodynamically designed impellers of fans, fabricated by composite material can be an excellent alternative to ensure enhanced efficiency & appropriate energy savings apart from a wide gamut of critical advantages.

The FRP fans offer certain critical advantages as mentioned hereunder:

– Optimal aerodynamic design of fan impellers to provide higher efficiency for any specific application.

– Reduction in overall weight of the fan, thereby extending the life of mechanical drive systems.

– Require lower drive motor rating and light duty bearing system.

– Low power consumption resulting in appreciable energy savings.

– FRP fans fabricated by compression moulding/resin transfer moulding technique would have uniform dimensions and consistent quality.

– Lower flow noise and mechanical noise levels compared to the conventional metallic fans.

– Longer life of fans due to improved mechanical strength.

The potential of FRP composite for various applications is very wide. In view of the crucial need for developing indigenous capability in composite technology the main advantage of FRP fans is their utilization and application of composite as an important performance material in various sectors and to improve upon the laboratory-industry linkages towards development & commercialisation.
