We recently received a brief requesting four custom, explosion-proof fans to be used on an offshore oil and gas application in Brazil. Our Applied Technology<\/a> engineers are skilled at building bespoke fans that meet even the most demanding specifications.<\/p>\n

Needing to follow the customer and end-user\u2019s pre-defined specification, in addition to a small installation footprint, our engineers built the four bespoke fans at our Fareham-based factory. When building the 1,120mm diameter, stainless-steel long cased axial units, we knew durability was a top priority. We made sure they could withstand the harsh offshore salt-laden environment by using marine-grade aluminium impellers, stainless-steel 316L casings, terminal boxes and ancillaries.<\/p>\n

Along with being durable, a key requirement was making sure the fans were explosion-proof and complied with the customer\u2019s design requirements, in addition to offshore and Brazilian safety regulations. As such, the fans were built with C5M-painted Zone 1 ATEX motors, BFOU cabling, and stainless-steel glands. To comply with the Brazilian standard NR-37, motor cowls, access doors, and internal terminal boxes were painted to colour RAL 2008.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

For the end-user\u2019s monitoring requirements, the fan models came equipped with Shock Pulse Monitoring (SPM) sensors and a cable transit system to wire the coaxial cable to an externally fan mounted terminal box. Accounting for vibration during installation, the fan mounting plate was paired with anti-vibration mounts.<\/p>\n

Leading on the project, Lewis Brand, Technical & Project Sales Engineer at Elta, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking on applied technology projects means working through customer specifications to ensure we\u2019re designing the best fan for their application, and working with customers throughout a project is something we pride ourselves on at Elta. This project really showcases our engineering capability; four unique fans that we have manufactured to the highest quality and will stand the test of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
