Jet fans are primarily deployed in longitudinal ventilation systems for highway and railway tunnels. Suspended directly from the ceiling or mounted along the sidewalls of the tunnel, the fans do not occupy traffic clearance or require dedicated ventilation ducts. This significantly lowers civil construction costs, offering a highly economical ventilation solution.During operation, the fan generates high thrust from its input power. A portion of the total airflow moving through the tunnel is drawn into the fan, energized by the high-speed rotating impeller, and discharged at high velocity through the outlet nozzle. Based on the principle of impulse momentum transfer, this high-velocity air jet transfers energy to the surrounding air inside the tunnel, driving the entire air mass forward. As the air velocity decays to a predetermined threshold, the next downstream group of jet fans engages. This relay mechanism enables continuous fresh air intake from the tunnel entrance and effective exhaust of polluted air through the exit portal.
The SDS Series Tunnel Jet Fan assembly typically consists of the following key components: discharge nozzles, silencers, flow straighteners, fan casing section, and electric motor.
Streamlined nozzles optimize the flow field for high operational efficiency. Silencers are equipped on both ends of the fan casing section, featuring perforated inner cylinders filled with specialized waterproof acoustic absorption material. The fan casing section consists of rolled and welded steel plates with flanges at both ends for convenient connection to the silencers, housing the internal motor and impeller where positioning flanges ensure consistent blade tip clearance, while the airfoil blades are pressure die-cast from aluminum alloy. Near-streamlined front and rear flow straighteners further optimize the flow field to maintain high running efficiency. The motor operates at a rated voltage of 380V with Class F insulation and IP54 protection, accompanied by an external junction box mounted on the casing for straightforward cable connection.
The jet fan casing shall be fabricated from high-grade steel plates through rolling, continuous welding, and spin flanging. The casing and motor support bracket shall feature an integral welded structure to ensure sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the dynamic loads generated during operation. The jet fan impeller hub and blades shall be die-cast from high-strength aluminum alloy, and each blade must undergo X-ray flaw detection to guarantee product manufacturing quality and safe, reliable operation. Blades with aerodynamically optimized airfoil cross-sections shall be mounted on the hub and secured using high-strength anti-loosening bolts; every impeller must undergo dynamic balancing, and the blade angle shall be statically adjustable to meet the needs of optimized selection across diverse operating conditions. The external surface of the jet fan casing shall undergo anti-corrosion and anti-rust treatment, consisting of at least two layers of heat-resistant primer and finish coat respectively; for applications with special requirements, the fan surface shall be galvanized to ensure long-term corrosion resistance. The silencers shall feature a two-layer cylindrical structure, with an inner perforated sheet and an outer shell made of high-grade steel plates formed by rolling and welding; the cavity shall be filled with specialized superfine glass fiber material, which must possess Class A non-combustible fire-retardant properties, resist insect damage, and withstand moisture.
