Product catalog summary
Overview: This technical bulletin from The New York Blower Company provides detailed information on duct fans, including specifications, construction and design features, application advantages, and available accessories. It also covers various fan types such as Vaneaxial, Tubular Acoustafoil, and Tubeaxial fans.
Specifications: Duct fans have capacities up to 60,000 CFM and can handle static pressures up to 2”WG. They are capable of operating at temperatures up to 350°F.
Construction Features: The fans feature steel wheels with curved blades for efficiency, heavy-gauge welded components for durability, and bearings with a minimum L-10 life of over 50,000 hours. Additional features include an industrial finish, flanged connections, lifting eyes, and extended lubrication lines.
Design Features: The design includes 13 sizes with wheel diameters ranging from 12” to 60”, and options for direct-drive or belt-drive in five mounting positions. The precision-rolled tube design ensures maximum efficiency.
Application Advantages: Duct fans are ideal for low-pressure ventilation and industrial exhaust applications. Their compact design offers space-saving benefits and they are interchangeable with Tubeaxial and Vaneaxial fan lines.
Accessories and Modifications: Available accessories include inlet bells, vibration isolation mounts, safety equipment, and weather covers. Modifications can include spark-resistant construction and alternate material options.
Safety and Performance: Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for safe operation. The document advises selecting appropriate safety accessories and emphasizes the need for guards on exposed moving parts.
Mounting Arrangements: Various mounting options are available, including floor, ceiling, vertical, suspended, duct, and roof mounting, each designed to meet specific installation needs.
Performance Charts: Charts are provided for velocity pressure, maximum safe speeds, and correction factors for temperature and altitude, aiding in fan selection and operation under different conditions.
Direct-Drive Duct Fans: These fans, available in sizes 127 through 547, are suitable for clean-air applications at temperatures up to 105°F and offer reduced maintenance due to the elimination of external motor mounting structures.
Product Categories: The document also outlines various product categories offered by the company, including Dust/Material Handling, Roof Ventilators, Process/Fan Components, Heating Products, Air-Handling (Centrifugal and Axial), Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), and Custom Products.
Key Features: The company emphasizes its ability to provide customized solutions and a wide selection of air-moving equipment to meet diverse industrial needs.

Duct Fans-5

INLET BELL Catalog ratings shown in this bulletin are for Duct Fans with free inlet and ducted outlet. When no inlet duct is used, entrance loss must be added to the static pressure calculated for the system. For bare inlets, that loss is equal to the fan velocity pressure. Example: 4200 FPM velocity = 1.1 "WG [see Chart I at right]. Inlet bells render such loss negligible and are available at nominal cost. Sizes 127 through 487 constructed of fiberglass reinforced plastic; Sizes 547 and 607 constructed of steel. Available for all sizes of Duct Fans with matching standard flanges for either inlet...

DIRECT-DRIVE DUCT FANS Available in Sizes 127 through 547, the direct-drive Duct Fan is ideally suited for relatively clean-air applications at temperatures to 105°F. Elimination of external motor mounting structure permits installation in extremely tight locations and reduction in overall unit weight. The Arrangement 4 configuration virtually eliminates all regularly scheduled maintenance. External inlet vane dampers and variable frequency motor controllers are available to modulate airflow in process or commercial air-conditioning systems.

Belt-Drive Duct Fans Belt-drive Duct Fans are available in Sizes 127 through 607 for more aggressive airstreams or applications where temperatures may reach 350°F. Belt-drive arrangements include a shaft, bearings, and belt-well assembly that isolates bearings and drive components from airborne moisture and contaminants. In the event that system pressures or flow requirements change, belt-drive Duct Fans offer inherent performance flexibility. New performance is easily achieved by modifying readily accessible drives.
