Primary Applications of Fans in the Cement Power Generation Industry  

1. Ventilation and Combustion Support  

In the boiler systems of thermal power plants, fans are indispensable equipment. By propelling air into the combustion chamber, fans supply the necessary oxygen for fuel combustion, ensuring the smooth progression of the combustion process. Simultaneously, they promote gas circulation within the combustion chamber, enhancing heat transfer efficiency for more complete combustion. Additionally, fans assist in removing exhaust gases generated during combustion, maintaining the normal operation of the boiler system.

2. Cooling and Exhaust

     Thermal power plants generate significant amounts of heat during operation, necessitating cooling systems to reduce equipment temperatures and ensure normal functioning. Induced draft fans play a crucial role in these cooling systems by creating negative pressure or suction to draw cooling water or air into the system, thereby lowering equipment temperatures. Simultaneously, these fans exhaust combustion byproducts into the atmosphere, minimizing environmental pollution.
