Centrifugal Fan Balancing
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies performs centrifugal fan balancing services to ensure the safety, reliability, and optimal efficiency of centrifugal fans.
Centrifugal Fan Balancing Services
With a variety of applications across countless industries, centrifugal fans are an effective tool for moving air or gases through ventilation systems, ducts, and other equipment. Centrifugal fans can create more focused, concentrated airflow due to the fact that their blades are angled, whereas axial fans create a larger airflow with lower pressure. Like nearly all other tools and instruments, centrifugal fans eventually succumb to misalignment, wear and tear, and debris build up. These issues can result in fan imbalance, reduced performance, poor efficiency, high levels of vibration, potential damage to the fan and surrounding equipment, and device failure.
The Process of Balancing Centrifugal Fans
Centrifugal fan balancing consists of altering the mass distribution within the fan’s assembly to minimize vibrations and optimize efficiency. This process begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify any signs of imbalance, which typically include irregular wear patterns, excessive operating noise, and strong vibrations. Inspections are typically visual, vibrational, or both. Our certified technicians then perform a dynamic balancing through the use of vibration analyzers, balancing machines, and the addition or removal of weight on fan blades or the fan rotor. Alignment is then calculated and adjusted when necessary to ensure proper functionality. Once all adjustments are complete, our specialized fan balancing experts perform a series of tests to verify the centrifugal fan is operating within specified parameters of efficiency and effectiveness. Regularly scheduled fan balancing can help improve safety, reliability, and performance while prolonging the lifespan of your equipment. In addition to balancing centrifugal fans, ATS specializes in the following services:
