Jet fans (induction fans) are mounted at the tunnel crown or side wall and drive air along the tunnel with a high-velocity jet. They are the mainstay of longitudinal ventilation and fire smoke control in road and metro tunnels. Both unidirectional and reversible types are available, with reversible units used where smoke must be pushed in either direction.
SINDFAN jet fans cover Ø500mm to Ø1600mm with thrust from 152N to 1691N. Impellers are die-cast aluminium with ASTM E155 X-ray inspection, bearings are specified for L10 ≥ 20000h, and casings are 3-6mm mild steel hot-dip galvanised. Three build options are available: bell mouth, 1D silencer or 2D silencer.
| Impeller diameter | Ø500 - Ø1600mm (50Hz, unidirectional / reversible) |
|---|---|
| Model series | 50SJ - 125SJ |
| Thrust | 152 - 1691 N |
| Impeller | Die-cast aluminium, ASTM E155 X-ray inspected |
| High temperature motor | 250°C/1h, 300°C/2h, 400°C/1h (by fire class) |
| Bearing life | L10 ≥ 20000h (ISO 281 mean life approx. 100000h) |
| Casing | 3 - 6mm mild steel, hot-dip galvanised |
| Build options | Bell mouth / 1D silencer / 2D silencer |
| Testing | ISO 5801, ISO 13350 |
Figures above are our standard ranges; the actual supply is per the agreed technical specification. Impeller performance curves describe the bare impeller under standard inlet conditions. Once installed, performance is affected by casing clearance, tip clearance, inlet straightening and guide vanes; tested as a complete fan to GB/T 1236 / AMCA 210 the result typically differs by 2-5%. Site measurement governs and no complete-fan performance warranty is implied.
Choose unidirectional for ventilation only (higher efficiency, lower cost); choose reversible where smoke control or reverse air movement is required.
It is the time the fan can run at the stated smoke temperature - a key smoke control design parameter. Road tunnels commonly use 250°C/1h; 300°C/2h or 400°C/1h are available for higher requirements.
Thrust depends on jet velocity, impeller diameter and flow, and requires a longitudinal ventilation calculation based on tunnel cross-section, length and traffic conditions. We can support the selection if you provide the tunnel parameters.
Building smoke exhaust products require CCCF in China. Where we supply the fan body or impeller only, certification is handled by the fan builder or the project; contact us in advance if you need our support for certification.
