THE FORNEY BLOWER ASSEMBLY SUPPLIES COOLING AND/OR COMBUSTION AIR TO IGNITERS, DETECTORS, OR
ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT REQUIRES LOW-PRESSURE AIR. The skid-mounted blower assembly
provides air to burner-front devices.
FLAME DETECTORS
A typical skid-mounted blower assembly consists of the following components (see
drawing, reverse side):
• Blowers – Two 100% capacity New York Blowers.
• Motor Starters – Two cabinets which provide either local or remote control.
• Lights – “Running” and “Standby” indicating lights for each blower.
• Logic – Standby logic for the idle blower.
• Pressure Switches – Two Static-O-Ring pressure switches for detection of
low pressure and transfer to standby blower and one to provide “pressure
adequate” signal.
• Skid – One common skid with the two factory-mounted blowers.
• Piping – One “Y” piping and check valve damper to common outlet.
• Optional – Fan inlet air filters.
The complete Blower Assembly is factory wired and tested. The motor
starter cabinets contain hard-wired, fan-transfer logic in the event low blower
outlet pressure is sensed by the two pressure switches.
The blower arrangement is a direct drive (i.e., arrangement 4) type;
however, other arrangements are available for special applications. The blower
outlet flange is full-seal welded and matches ANSI Class 125/150 hole pattern.
The blower outlet connection is a dual taper design for low noise levels. The
blower wheels are a radial design which develop a flat curve for stable
performance even at low turndown ratios.
