Secondary air fan: This is the over-fire air fan that at least will deliver about 20% of combustion

air required inside the furnace. Given: Weight of combustion air Temperature of air Density of air at 86F 92,721 cu.ft/min 86F 0.0727 lb/cu.ft

c.1) Required capacity

= =

92,721 (0.15) (1.2) 16,689.8 cu.ft/min 7.88 cu.m/sec

c.2) Required draft, Ps i) Furnace + (400 mm) + (30 mm) + (30 mm) + (460 mm) + (575 mm)

ii) Air duct loss iii)Changes in direction Total required

Add 25% on req. draft c.3) Power requirement, kWsf kWsf =

Vf x Ps / 102 (0.85)

where: Vf = 7.88 cu.m/sec Ps = required draft, 723 mm = 0.85 ( drive eff.) kWsf = 10.83 x 575 / 102 (0.85)

52.3 kW or 75 hp
