Induced draft industrial fans
Where forced draft (FD) fans create positive pressure, induced draft (FD) fans create negative pressure, or put simply, suck air through a system.
Frequently ID and FD fans work in concert in boiler applications. In such applications, the ID fans must be constructed to handle high temperature gases and high particulate loadings.
ID fans are widely used in the food industry to extract cooking odours from the process before passing them through filters an scrubbers prior to extract to the air.
