How FD and ID fan control the air flow?

FD or Forced Draft Fans supply combustion air to the boiler. Different combustion controls demand a supply of combustion air in different ways but what they have in common they control the FD fan to provide enough air for complete combustion in the boiler furnace. In most systems in use today the ID or Induced Draft fan sucks the products of combustion from the boiler furnace, through the various passes of the boiler and pushes it out the chimney. How much or how fast this fan works is based on furnace pressure. The ID fan control set point is based on combustion side furnace pressure. If the furnace pressure goes up the ID fan removes more air to lower the pressure. As the furnace pressure goes down the ID fan removes less air. This air flow out of the boiler is referred to as draft. Both the FD and ID can be controlled by various means. The air flow can be restricted in the plenum or ducts by dampers or louvers or the speed of the fan can be changed by mechanical means from a fixed speed driver. Also the speed of the fan can be changed by the use of a variable steam turbine or an electric motor with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)


What are the applications of an electric resistance furnace?

A Furnace heated by electric Current is known as electric Furnace. Advantage of an electric furnace is it gives Positive temperature control System through a Temperature Controller. Now a days application of an electric Furnace is very Vast, from domestic use to Industrial Applications. Industrial uses its making large quantity of steel, in quality control laboratory it's a part to Analise the quality of materials etc. Domestic use of electric furnace warm rooms, media of cooking foods for us.

How do you use updraft in sentence?

Forced draft fan vs induced draft fan?

In a balanced draft boiler, you actually have both: forced draft (FD) fans supplying air to the furnace, and induced draft (ID) fans removing flue gas. Typically, the FD fans control airflow, while ID Fans control furnace pressure to slightly below atmospheric pressure. In general though, the choice between forced draft and induced draft is based on how "tight" the system is - if you have leaks, it is better to use ID, as FD will cause product loss.

Why should a glider pilot try to keep the plane over the edge of the land?

Generally speaking, large bodies of water induce a downward draft in the air above them, whereas land often generates an updraft. Right along the edge of the shore is where these forces are interacting, and a glider pilot may be able to find a zone in which the updraft is amplified by its interaction with the nearby downdraft. Additionally, many times the land climbs in a steep cliff or hillside away from the sea. A strong breeze from the relatively flat sea can swoop up that hillside or cliff and make a very strong ridge draft which the glider may use for lift.
