Handling combustion gases in a hostile environment

One of our Centrifugal FansA middle eastern customer with a particularly demanding application for combustion gas handling turned to Halifax Fan who designed and manufactured a customised solution to meet the exacting requirements in full.

Halifax Fan prides itself on its ability to carry out the design and manufacture of complex fan assemblies and challenging special projects from concept through to in-house testing, despatch and delivery. The customer recognising this strength, presented Halifax with a major complete design and build project challenge.

The end user, located in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, not only needed to comply with a harsh operating environment but also with compliance to complex specifications in addition to comprehensive documentation detailing that compliance.

The working temperature of the assembly was specified as up to 390ºC with an ambient temperature of up to 50ºC. The fan was tested in the Halifax test facility to BS848 Part 1, 1980 Type C with no negative tolerance permitted on either flow or pressure.

The assembly, including and Inlet Vane Control Damper and speed sensor complies with the relevant Engineers India specifications, which required adherence to complex procedures and full documentation, all of which Halifax accepted and undertook as part of the overall contract.

The customer was very satisfied with the professional and efficient manner in which the Halifax team dealt with their exacting requirements and was pleased to have found a company that can be flexible and professional enough to deliver overall solutions to a highly detailed and demanding specification with minimum fuss and interruption. The two systems are now fully operational in Dubai and the customer has expressed his entire satisfaction with the way the contract was enacted and with the performance of the overall installation.
