Fin Fan Monitoring - SKF Multilog On-line Protection System DMx Hazardous Area Installations

Forced or induced draught fans associated with air cooled heat exchangers are known universally as “fin fans.” They may be fitted in large banks to cool process fluids or be an integral part of a gas compression skid. Drive arrangements will vary and may include either belt drive or a gearbox, but all will normally be electric motor driven, sometimes by variable frequency drives.

Furthermore, in the hydrocarbon and petrochemical sectors, there is a frequent requirement for instrumentation to be certified for use in ATEX Zone 2 (NEC Class 1 Division 2) hazardous areas.

As explained in this document, the features offered by the monitoring methods – and more - can be delivered by a single solution; the SKF Multilog On-line System DMx.
