Engineering Report
Maximizing the capabilities of your fans and blowers is not a difficult task. The following outlines what can be done to improve fan and blower performances.
- Ensure that the straight ductwork on the fan inlet is at least
2.5 diameter in length. If not possible, utilize an inlet box. - If no ductwork is on the fan inlet purchase and install an
inlet bell on the inlet to decrease the inlet acceleration loss. - Consider adding an Evase on the fan discharge to get a
static pressure regain. - Replace Chinese rain caps with either no loss stack caps, no
loss vertical discharges, offset elbows or offset exhaust
stacks. - Verify that the structural steel supports do not cause
shaking of your ventilation equipment. Continued
movement of the ventilation equipment will cause bearing
and shaft problems while can cause failure of the fan
wheel. Isolation of the air movement equipment can be
accomplished with either rubber-in-shear or spring
isolators plus adding expansion joints to the inlet and
discharge fan ductwork. - Proper isolation can increase the life expedience of your fan
and blowers. - Our engineering project sales managers are capable of the
above improvements.
VSI Capabilities
Ventilation Specialists Inc. has been engineering and installing industrial ventilation equipment since 1968. We carry both general and product liability insurance. We have represented Florida industry since 1968, all of Latin America since 2003, and recently been awarded the representation of Georgia for many of our product lines. We are knowledgeable regarding the exhaust of corrosive and/or explosive chemicals. Our
company is unique as we combined our engineering capability with direct factory representation of industrial ventilation equipment along with providing installation.
The following outlines how projects are handled.
- Analyze the existing plant conditions either with a plant visit or
telephone or email discussions. - Compute the best engineering solution to improve the plant
working conditions consistent with the Industrial Ventilation
Handbook, NFPA recommend classification of flammable liquids,
gases and combustible dusts and chemical resistance for metals and
plastics. - Prepare a detailed engineered proposal for the equipment and
installation. - Review the client the engineering equipment selection and exactly
what will be achieved.
When we can be helpful solving your plant ventilation problems,

Company News
Long shipment lead times for fans & blowers are not improving, therefore we recommend you determine your critical fan & blower systems that you cannot do without. You should consider purchasing redundant fans and/or blowers so that production downtime can be minimized.
