The main difference between an ID (Induced Draft) fan and a FD (Forced Draft) fan lies in their placement in a system. An ID fan is located after the furnace or boiler and helps to draw waste gases out of the system, while an FD fan is positioned before the furnace or boiler to supply fresh air into the system for combustion. ID fans create negative pressure, while FD fans create positive pressure within the system.

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 cant you use a forced draft fan in place of induced draft fan?

It can be used, however not on the same piece of equipment. A forced draft fan is typically much smaller than an induced draft fan. A FD fan moves cooler air into the combustion zone while the ID fan removes the products of combustion from that zone. Typically the volume of gasses the ID Fan needs to remove is from 125% to 200% more than that of the FD fan. example: an FD fan moves 20,000 scfm of air at 100 *F, what size ID fan do you need if the exhaust gasses are 450 *F and the products of combustion and moisture add 3500 cfm to the volume of gasses? PV/T = P'V'/T' with pressure being negligible (it usually isn't) the formula is then : V/T = V'/T' to get the volume needed for the ID fan then: VT'/T = V' V = 20,000 scfm, T = 560 *R (absolute zero scale) and T' = 910 *R 20,000 scfm x 910*R/560*R = 20,000 scfm x 1.625 = 32,500 scfm thus, the ID fan must be sized at least 62.5% larger than the FD fan.


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 removes the combustion gases from a balanced draft furnace?

A balanced draft furnace typically uses a draft inducer fan to remove combustion gases from the furnace and vent them safely to the outside. This fan creates the necessary negative pressure in the flue system to ensure proper airflow and exhaust of gases.

What is a balanced draft and how is it controlled?

furnace equipped with FD(force draft) and ID(induced draft) fan /blower are called balanced draft system.Fd used to regulate combustion airflow while ID used to regulate furnace pressures type of furnace operate slightly below ATM pressure .


Why induced draft fan operate first instead of a forced draft fan?

The procedure for starting draft plant (fans) in a boiler is to start the ID Fan first. Remember that the purpose of the ID Fan is so that the Furnace operates at a slight vacuum. (See Related Link: FD Fan vs ID Fan.) Any casing or furnace leaks then allow air to leak in, rather than allowing air with pulverised fuel and fly ask to leak out.
