Selection of foundation types for 6T centrifugal fans
Thread Content
As the title suggests, our factory has a centrifugal fan with a weight of 6 tons. Since a 2-meter-high passage needs to be maintained at the bottom of the fan, it is necessary to raise its foundation. Here’s the problem: if the foundation is built as a reinforced concrete structure, the construction period will be around one month, and the space available in the factory itself is also limited. Is it possible to create a foundation in the form of steel structure, with the bottom part of the steel structure serving as embedments and the upper part consisting of a steel structure platform? This not only saves time but also relatively saves space. Please give some advice, fellow sailors!
No one is paying attention! :'(Please ask an expert for advice.)
Yes, but it needs to be calculated and designed carefully to avoid resonance during operation in the future.
Thank you! After careful consideration, we decided that, as a precaution, it is better to use a concrete foundation. I still hope that fellow sailors with similar experience can offer some suggestions and advice!
