Flue gas
recirculation is a highly effective technique used for lowering
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from burners. This is particularly
crucial, as NOx is a significant pervasive pollutant that produces a
negative array of health and environmental by-products. NOx emission
levels can be greatly reduced in industrial boilers by reticulating
used flue gases back into the system. This process lowers the peak
combustion temperature and drops the percentage of oxygen in the
combustion air/flue gas mixture, delaying the formation of NOx caused
by high flame temperatures. TCF offers a wide range of centrifugal
blowers specifically designed to be used with FGR systems. Forced Draft
fans purpose is to provide a positive pressure to a system. This basic
concept is used in a wide variety of industries but the term FD Fans is
most often found in the boiler industry. Fans for boilers force ambient
air into the boiler, typically through a preheater to increase overall
boiler efficiency. Inlet or outlet dampers are used to control and
maintain the system pressure. Typical fan arrangements are 3SI or 3DI
which utilize a wheel center hung on the shaft with integral inlet
boxes. Air Handling Units (AHU) combine a fan (or several fans) with
other components such as heating and/or cooling elements, filters, and
dampers as a means to collectively condition the air in a building. AHU
is a general term comprised of many specific types of air handlers
including: Make-Up Air Units (MAU), Packaged Units (PU), Rooftop Units
(RTU), and Energy Recovery Units (ERU). Air handlers range from very
small, low CFM light-duty construction to very large, high CFM
heavy-duty construction, and are used in many types of buildings that
require air conditioning such as office buildings, hospitals,
universities, schools, manufacturing facilities, and data centers.
Typically, air passing through an AHU is clean and varies in
temperature depending on the specific application. Energy consumption
and noise are often important considerations when selecting a fan for
an AHU. Plenum fans and DWDI fans are commonly found in these units,
but are not used exclusively. To accommodate the various applications
these units are used for, Buffalo Blower offers the most diverse and
efficient fans in the industry to meet the need of any air handling
unit. CBRE Roof Recirculators function as regular power roof
ventilators in warmer weather and as an energy-saving recirculation air
system in cold weather. Each unit is equipped with a reversible
fan that distributes warm ceiling air thoughout the plant and reduces
the builing's heating requirements. With a flip of a switch it can
function as a conventional roof ventilator. There are two unit types:
1) for exhaust and recirculation; 2) for exhaust, supply and
recirculation.
