VK-PVF16 Ventilation Fan FAQs
Will my compressor run the VK-PVF16?
The VK-PVF16 needs 82 cfm, delivered continuously. Allow headroom for hose length and for worn couplings.
How much air does the VK-PVF16 deliver?
2,000 cfm at 800 feet, on a consumption of 82 cfm. The 16 inch impeller carries six dynamically balanced blades and runs at 4,000 rpm on precision ball and roller bearings.
Does the ventilation fan need an electrical supply?
No. It is air driven, which is why it is used underground in metal mines, gold mines, tunnels and shaft sinking, where running power to the face would be the harder problem. Its job is to clear blasting fumes quickly and put fresh air on the face.
