4.0 CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES

NDZV fans are single stage, double inlet centrifugal machines. The rotor is simply supported by
sleeve bearings located on both side of the impeller.

The major sub-assemblies of the fan are as follows

• Impeller with shaft assembly


• Bearings and thermometers.
• Suction chamber and spiral casing.
• Flow regulating devices.
• Shaft seals.
• Couplings.

IMPELLER WITH SHAFT ASSEMBLY

The impeller is a completely welded structure and is made from high tensile steel with
backward curved blades. The selection of the material and thickness for the impeller / shaft are
computed on the basis of the stress analysis/critical speed programme carried out for each impeller
and shaft. The impeller consists of centre plate, blade, cover plate and impeller ring. All weldments
are inspected thoroughly by NDT methods. The back plate of the impeller and the shaft flange has
a machined groove which ensures correct location of the wheel relative to the shaft during
assembly. Impeller is bolted to the shaft flange and locked by means of locking plates. Conical
cover plates are provided at the inlet (bolted to the center plate) to guide the inlet flow and to
protect the fasteners from exposure to the medium handled by the fan. The impeller is stress
relived upon completion of all welding operation and is dynamically balanced after final machining.
Replaceable Wear liners are provided in the impeller blades. The shaft is a hollow tube with two
forged solid end pins shrunk fit at both end of the shaft and welded. The shaft is machined to a
high degree of surface finish for location of impeller, bearings and coupling half etc. The completed
shaft is dynamically balanced. The critical speed of the rotor is well above the operating speed.

BEARING AND THERMOMETERS

The fan rotor is supported in between a fixed bearing and a free bearing .The fixed bearing is
arranged on the coupling side. The fans are provided with Sleeve bearings and oil lubrication.
Provision for mounting temperature gauges (Mercury in steel thermometers and RTDs) are available
on the bearing housings for local and remote (UCB) indication of bearing temperatures. Platinum
resistance thermometers (RTD) are provided with alarm and trip connections and for remote
indication (control room) of bearing temperatures.

before they are installed. Wherever possible, these parts should be transported to site as per
erection sequence in packed condition. The active and effective life of protective media has its own
life. In such cases, the protected items may need periodic re-inspection and reapplication of the
protective. To ensure perfect safety of the equipment the instruction given in this regard must be
strictly followed.

PRESERVATION OF FAN UP TO COMMISSIONING

After erection of Fan at site, conservation must be ensured up to commissioning and during trial
operation. All bright surfaces must be sprayed with anti-corrosive agents/rust preventives.

PRESERVATION OF FANS DURING LONG SHUT DOWN

No special preservation is required for a shut down period up to 2 weeks.

Since the maximum effective life, of rust preventive oil / anti-corrosive agents, when applied, has its
own life (3 months), re preservation has to be carried out after 3 months.

The following procedure shall be adopted for long shut down / stand still period.

• Remove the preservative using suitable solvent.


• Brush or paint or spray with anti corrosive coating / Rust preventive oil on all the machined
and bright surfaces which are exposed. Replace the oil completely which is originally put
Inside the bearing housings. The bearing housings and the regulating device arc to be fully
covered with polythene sheets and tied to prevent rain water entering or dust accumulation.
• Rotate the rotor of Fans by hand once in a week to new position 90o away from the original
position. This is done to avoid permanent set of the rotor as well as pitting of shaft and
elements of bearings.
• Run the Fan once in every month for at least 2 hours after removing the polythene cover on
bearing housing and regulating device. After each running repeat the above steps.
