Industrial Tunnel Jet Fan – Axial Flow Ventilation for Railway, Metro & Highway Tunnels

Working Principle & Technical Specifications

The tunnel jet fan operates by generating a high-velocity air stream (outlet velocity: 19.1-42 m/s), which propels the tunnel air along its axis to create a longitudinal ventilation flow. Its core feature is a counter-rotating dual-motor system, utilizing two-stage impellers to accelerate gas expulsion. Key performance parameters include:

Performance Range:

  • Air Volume: 56 - 1355 m³/min (covers ventilation needs from short tunnels to distances up to 2000m).

  • Total Pressure: 172 - 8600 Pa (adapts to various ventilation resistance scenarios).

  • High-Temperature Resistance: Capable of continuous operation for 2 hours in 280°C environments (a critical index for fire smoke extraction).

Technical Features:

  • Bi-Directional Operation: Electronic/mechanical forward-reverse switching within 30 seconds, with reverse airflow ≥ 98% of forward flow.

  • Noise Reduction: Double-layer silencer structure (1D/2D impeller diameter), ensuring noise level ≤ 77 dB(A) at 10 meters.

  • Construction: Aluminum alloy impeller with hot-dip galvanized casing, featuring corrosion resistance rating of IP55.

Application Scenarios

Core Functions:

  • Daily Ventilation: Removes exhaust fumes (CO, NOx) and dust from internal combustion engines, maintaining air quality.

  • Emergency Smoke Extraction: Rapidly switches to smoke exhaust mode during fires, achieving 4 complete air changes within 15 minutes.

Engineering Adaptability:

  • Mounting: Suspended installation on the tunnel ceiling or sides, requiring no traffic space and saving ductwork costs.

  • Ideal Applications: Railway tunnels (mandatory mechanical ventilation for lengths ≥ 2km), subways, and highway tunnels.
