Installation location of the scrubber tower fan

2020-07-29View Original

Thread Content

I would like to ask the experts: For wash towers, in most cases the fans are installed at the back of the tower, but in some cases they are installed at the front. I wonder what determines the installation location, and what are the differences between installing them at the front or at the back? Thank you

The moisture content of the material at the back of the tower is higher than that at the front of the tower (the material at the front may also be a dry gas), while the dust content is lower there (in the case of dust removal). Therefore, whether it should be installed at the front or at the back of the tower depends on the properties of the material: if the material is wet, it is better to install it at the front (as this reduces the requirements regarding the material of the fan); if the feed contains a high amount of dust, it is better to install it at the back.

Thank you. Taking the hydrogen chloride scrubber as an example, our company uses water spray for the first stage of purification, which is installed behind the tower; alkali solution spray is used for the second stage, and that system is also installed behind the tower. However, there are three other sets installed on outdoor platforms, at a distance from the exhaust outlet. I took the time to check today and found that they are actually installed in front of the tower. What is the reason for this? Air intake volume?

In this case, it is best to install one before the water scrubber tower and one after the alkali scrubber tower. Do you use plastic fans with anti-corrosion properties?

Environmental factors should be taken into consideration, as well as expansion or other requirements.
