Fin Fan blades are made of either aluminium or G.R.P. The number of blades and tip speed depend on airflow and noise limitations required by the customer on their Air Cooler. Fans are balanced according to code requirements. Belt and pulley transmissions are used for up to 37kW. Pulleys are dynamically balanced. Belt types are:

  • V belt
  • Toothed belt (HTD)
  • Chevron Belts

Gear drives are generally preferred for over 37kW and are:

  • Parallel shaft
  • Right-angle drive

Electric motors are generally used as drivers. However, steam turbines or hydraulic motors may also be used, as well as low-speed direct-drive electric motors. Airflow can be controlled in one of the following ways:

  • Louvers (manual or automatic)
  • Two-speed electric motors
  • Automatic variable pitch fan
  • Variable-speed electric motors (variable frequency)
  • Steam turbine drivers
