I.D. & F.D. Fans

I.D. & F.D. Fans

I.D. (Induced Draft) and F.D. (Forced Draft) Fans are essential components of industrial boiler and furnace systems. They work together to maintain balanced airflow by supplying fresh combustion air and removing flue gases efficiently. At Air Movement & Control System Pvt. Ltd., we manufacture robust and energy-efficient I.D. & F.D. Fans engineered for reliable operation in power plants, cement industries, steel plants, chemical industries, and other heavy-duty applications.

I.D. (Induced Draft) Fans

An Induced Draft (I.D.) Fan creates negative pressure (vacuum) inside a boiler or furnace by drawing flue gases through the system. This ensures efficient combustion while safely removing exhaust gases and maintaining balanced furnace pressure.

Key Components

Component Description
Impeller Backward-curved or radial blades for high pressure rise
Casing Spiral (scroll) housing; may be insulated for heat control
Inlet Guide Vanes Control airflow and improve efficiency
Drive System Belt-driven or direct-coupled motors; VFDs for speed control
Bearings Grease or oil-lubricated bearings for high-speed operation
Silencer (optional) Reduces noise generated by air intake

Design Parameters

Parameter Typical Range / Notes
Flow rate (Q) 5,000 - 150,000+ m³/h
