What are the common faults of axial fans and their solutions?

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-01

Axial fan is a common equipment in industrial production, which plays an important role in the process of conveying air, ventilation, cooling and so on. However, in the process of use, the axial fan will also encounter various faults, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

Classification and characteristics of common faults of axial fans

Common faults of axial fans can be divided into two categories: mechanical faults and performance faults. Mechanical faults mainly include bearing damage, impeller wear, poor bearing clearance, etc., which will lead to increased noise and increased vibration during equipment operation; The performance failure is manifested in the deviation of the performance indicators such as air volume, air pressure and efficiency of the axial fan from the set value, resulting in a decrease in equipment work efficiency and an increase in energy consumption.

Analysis of the causes of axial fan failure

There are various reasons for the failure of axial fans, mainly including long-term operation wear, design defects, substandard manufacturing quality, improper use and other factors. For example, bearing damage may be due to wear caused by long periods of high-speed operation, impeller wear may be due to impact wear on the impeller surface by media particles, and poor bearing clearance may be due to failure to follow strict requirements during installation.

Solution to axial fan failure

For different types of faults, there are corresponding solutions for axial fans. For mechanical failures, measures such as replacing bearings, repairing impellers, and adjusting bearing clearances can be taken; For performance failures, it is necessary to solve them by readjusting the operating parameters of the equipment, replacing the impeller, etc.

Precautions for axial fan failure

In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of axial fan failure, the management and maintenance of axial fan can be strengthened from the aspects of selection and design, installation and commissioning, operation and maintenance. Reasonable axial fan selection design and qualified manufacturing process can reduce the probability of failure, and standardized installation and commissioning and scientific operation and maintenance help to prolong the service life of axial fan.

Precautions for failure maintenance of axial fans

When maintaining the axial fan, it is necessary to pay attention to regularly check the bearing wear, clean the dirt on the surface of the impeller, and keep the inside of the body clean to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, attention should also be paid to safety precautions during maintenance operations to reduce accidental injuries to maintenance personnel.
