Advantages of Induced Draft Design

AdvantageExplanation
Better Air DistributionThe plenum chamber helps create a more uniform airflow across the entire tube bundle face, improving heat transfer efficiency.
Reduced Hot Air RecirculationBecause the fan discharges the hot air vertically at a high velocity, it is less likely to be sucked back into the air inlets, especially in multi-bay installations. This is a major operational advantage.
Easier Maintenance on Fan DriveThe motor and drive assembly are located on the top structure, making them more accessible for maintenance without needing to work directly under the bundle.
Protection for Mechanical PartsThe fan and drive are exposed to the warm, exiting air rather than the cold, often corrosive, ambient air. This can reduce corrosion and weathering of these critical components.
Handles Higher Air TemperaturesSince the fan is moving already-heated air, it is suitable for applications where the exit air temperature is high.
