The New York Blower Company
FE - FRP FUME EXHAUSTER
DESIGN FEATURES: The New York Blower Company’s FRP Fume Exhauster [FE] is designed so that all parts exposed to the airstream are constructed of high-quality corrosion resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic. The FE is resistant to attack from most chemicals and is ideally suited to applications in the chemical, pulp and paper, wastewater-treatment, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, and metals industries. FE is available in eight sizes: 18”, 24”, 30”, 36”, 42”, 48”, 54” and 60” wheel diameters. Capacities to 84,000 CFM. Static pressures to 25”WG. Temperatures to 250°F. Choice of arrangements: Sizes 182 through 362 [medium-pressure fans only] available in Arrangement 10. Sizes 182 through 602 available in Arrangements 1, 8, 9, and 9-E, and sizes 362 through 602 are also available in Arrangement 9-F.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES: FE Housing is made of premium-quality, corrosion-resistant polyester resin. By using male molds, housing interior surfaces are smooth, improving efficiency and reducing the potential for material build-up. Flanged outlet for easy in-duct connection. Slip inlet suitable for flexible-sleeve inlet connection. All Arrangement 10 fans, and all other arrangements up to Size 302, are rotatable to any of five discharge positions. Lifting eyes on all fans for ease of handling. Welded steel base is constructed of heavy-gauge components for structural strength and durability. Arrangement 10 base features self-contained motor platform. Neoprene gasketing at all bolted FRP joints. Fan exterior is coated with gray epoxy enamel. Close-fitting, Teflon® shaft-hole closure limits the free exchange of gases through the shaft-hole opening. FRP Fume Exhauster backwardly inclined wheels provide high efficiency and quiet operation with a non-overloading horsepower characteristic. Made of premium-quality, corrosion-resistant vinyl ester resin. Metal hub, shaft, and stainless-steel fasteners are encapsulated in full-thickness FRP. Available in Medium Pressure (MP Wheel) and High Pressure (HP Wheel) options. FE wheels are dynamically balanced before final assembly. After assembly, all fans are given a final trim balance check at the specified running speed.
ACCESSORIES and MODIFICATIONS: Parallel-blade outlet damper—for flow control: all airstream parts are constructed of FRP. Flanged outlet drilling in different drilling patterns. Unitary base—available with spring or rubber-in-shear [R-I-S] isolators. Isolation rails are available for Arrangement 10 fans without inlet boxes. Flanged inlet—plain or drilled in various drilling patterns. Drain—threaded FRP drain with PVC plug, 1” npt, at lowest point of housing scroll. Inspection port—allows examination of fan interior, located on drive-side half of housing at 2 or 10 o’clock, opposite to discharge; opening is 6” diameter on Sizes 182 and 242, 8” on Sizes 302 through 422, and 12” on Sizes 482 through 602. Positive screw adjustment— two threaded rods provide easy motor platform/V-belt adjustment - available on Arrangement 10 fans only. Arrangement 10 weather cover/belt guard— provides motor and drive protection, and can be easily removed for inspection and maintenance; louvered side panels provide ample motor ventilation. Safety equipment—belt guards and shaft and bearing guards are available for Arrangements 1, 9, 9-E, and 9-F fans, and coupling guards for Arrangement 8 fans. Inlet box [includes support leg]—for Sizes 182 through 542. Minimizes losses at inlet. Cleanout door—provides access for cleaning and inspecting fan interior. Shaft seal— Viton® elements in FRP casing. Type 316 SST sleeve covers shaft for use with seal. Teflon seal and Hastelloy C-276 sleeve available. Surface veil—for added protection against certain corrosives, provides compliance to ASTM D 4167. All-vinyl ester airstream— provides additional protection from certain corrosives. Graphite impregnation—to control static electricity: the gas-stream surfaces are grounded to the fan base. Narrow-width construction— to optimize the point of operation. Available on all sizes to 75% of full width on medium pressure fans and 67% on high pressure fans. Maximum safe wheel speed increases as width decreases.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES: Safety accessories are available from nyb, but selection of the appropriate devices is the responsibility of the system-designer who is familiar with the particular installation, or application, and can provide for guards for all exposed moving parts as well as protection from access to high-velocity airstreams. Users and/or installers should read “Recommended Safety Practices for Air Moving Devices” as published by the Air Movement and Control Association International, Arlington Heights, Illinois.
AMCA SEAL and LABELS: The New York Blower Company certifies that the FRP Fume Exhausters shown herein are licensed to bear the AMCA Seal. The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.
FRP Blowers with Special Alloy Construction: airstream components, blower pedestal, guards, and unitary base can be constructed of a wide range of alternate alloys for corrosive applications: 950X/960X alloy; 980X alloy, aluminum, high strength aluminum 6061-T6 ; Monel, 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, 2205 stainless steel, corten, etc.
FRP Blowers Protective Coatings: Cost-effective protective coatings under a variety of trade names are available to increase the fan’s resistance to adverse, corrosive environments.
FRP Blowers Drive components: motors, couplings, and v-belt drives, as well as a variety of preventive-maintenance products including vibration detectors, bearing-temperature detectors, and zero-speed switches are also available.
