Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides a comprehensive analysis of tunnel ventilation systems, focusing on the VST Jet Fans and their application in road, rail, and metro systems. It outlines specifications, performance standards, and operational procedures, emphasizing safety, air quality, and emergency response.
Specifications
The document details specifications for various fan models, including air density, voltage, volume flow, discharge area, exit speed, absorbed power, motor power, thrust, thrust efficiency, silencer length, sound pressure level, operation speed, and weight. These are crucial for selecting the appropriate fan model for specific tunnel ventilation projects.
Design and Construction
VST jet fans feature a casing made from sheet steel, aerodynamically designed inlet and outlet cones, and reversible impellers for high performance. They are dynamically balanced, designed for elevated temperature conditions, and equipped with silencers. Performance and sound levels are tested according to international standards.
Applications
VST fans are suitable for various tunnel ventilation systems, including transverse, semi-transverse, and longitudinal systems. They handle challenging tunnel conditions, such as pressure transients and elevated temperatures during emergencies.
Case Study
The Warsaw Metro case study illustrates the application of VST fans in the Bielany Line, featuring multiple stations and tunnels. Fans are equipped with monitoring devices for temperature and vibration, ensuring reliable operation under demanding conditions.
Ventilation Methods
The document outlines different tunnel ventilation methods: basic longitudinal, transverse, and semi-transverse ventilation. Each method is chosen based on cost, air quality requirements, safety considerations, and emergency response procedures.
Performance and Testing
VST Jet Fans are tested for performance according to ISO standards, focusing on thrust and motor power input. Efficiency is measured as the ratio of thrust to motor shaft power. Sound levels are tested at a 10-meter distance, and fans undergo elevated temperature tests at 400°C for two hours.
Design and Support
The support arrangement includes elements bolted to the base fan flanges, customizable to fit various tunnel cross-sections. Fans are designed to withstand corrosive atmospheres and are equipped with anti-vibration mounts.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications for various VST fan models include dimensions, weight, power, thrust, and sound levels. The document outlines materials and construction standards, ensuring durability and compliance with safety regulations.
Service and Support
The document emphasizes after-sales service and support, offering technical advice, maintenance, and repair services worldwide, with contact information for regional offices and partners.

Tunnel Ventilation Systems Ventilation System Types Tunnels play an important part in the global development of infrastructures and urban communications. Safety aspects and air quality criteria put special demands on the tunnel ventilation systems in new projects and are important reasons for the current upgrading of existing tunnel systems. Main objectives for the tunnel ventilation system are to maintain good air quality and provide smoke control under emergency. Other functions are to control the amount of emissions exhausted from tunnel portals and ventilation shafts to the surroundings,...

VST Jet Fans Tunnel Ventilation Methods Tunnel ventilation can be performed according to any of three basic methods, with hybrid solutions as further options: In its most basic conguration the air ow moves from the tunnel entrance portal to the exit portal within the main tunnel cross section area, without separate ventilation ducts along the tunnel. The restriction in fresh air only from the entrance area involves, for a tunnel with vehicular emissions, a pronounced increase in pollutant concentration and exposure as a function of distance when travelling through the tunnel. For longer longitudinally...
