An FD (Forced Draft) fan is a type of fan used in various industrial processes, primarily to supply air or combustion air into a furnace or boiler. Unlike the ID (Induced Draft) fan, which removes flue gases from the system, the FD fan forces air into the combustion chamber. Here’s a detailed look at FD fans:

• Air Supply: FD fans push air into the combustion chamber or furnace, which is crucial for maintaining the correct air-to-fuel ratio for efficient combustion.
• Pressure Control: They help maintain positive pressure in the combustion chamber, which aids in proper combustion and helps to push the combustion gases out through the ID fan and stack.

• Location: FD fans are typically installed before the combustion chamber or furnace, where they supply the necessary air for the combustion process.
• Construction: FD fans often feature forward-curved or radial blades designed to handle the high volumes of air needed. They are built to withstand high temperatures and potentially abrasive conditions depending on the application.
• Drive Mechanism: Like ID fans, FD fans are powered by electric motors or other drive systems, and the design needs to accommodate the fan’s operating load and conditions.

• Boilers: In steam and hot water boilers, FD fans provide the combustion air required for efficient burning of fuel.
• Industrial Furnaces: They supply the necessary air to support the combustion process in various types of industrial furnaces.
• Air Pollution Control: In some systems, FD fans help ensure that the air flows properly through pollution control equipment before the air or gases are expelled through the stack.
