Cooling Fans

A cooling fan is a specialized axial fan used to supply large flows of air to cooling towers, heat exchangers and steam condensers in industrial plant. As the pressure drop across the cooling system is very low, the fans operate at low speeds and for large installations can be up to 25m in diameter.

The blades are manufactured from Fiber Reinforced Polyester (FRP), and in many cases glass is used as the fiber, or from aluminum. The lightweight construction of the blades, combined with the relatively low speed means that the hub is a simple disc and blades are attached to it by U-bolts.
