AXIAL IMPELLERS

Comet aluminum impellers come in 4 different types of construction, designed to meet many industrial applications. COMET manufactures 10 different blade profiles and three different impeller designs, resulting in one of the most extensive and efficient product ranges available on the market. The largest series can be selected for large installations with diameters up to 12 meters.

The smaller series are suitable for installation on equipment, machinery or in environments requiring ventilation or cooling and on small and medium-sized fan units with diameters from 350 mm.

MAP" and "AVP" series impellers have high efficiency and low noise blades made of extruded aluminum alloy. All "MAP" models have variable pitch paddles with a stopped motor, while "AVP" impellers have variable pitch paddles in operation. They are designed to provide precise and continuous adjustment of airflow as system thermal conditions vary. Blade pitch variation is pneumatically controlled. These impellers are supplied complete, with a rotary joint connecting to the line and a precision position valve.

Special versions of all COMET impeller series are available for critical operating conditions or particular environments.

The extensive aluminum production is supported by the "MF" and "XF" series of impellers, with blades made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP-GRP-PPG). The main characteristic of these series is that they are very low noise and are suitable for corrosive environments.

Using COMET software, it is possible to select the most advantageous combination of speed, the number of blades, and the blade profile to obtain the best results in noise and energy consumption.

USES:

  • Air coolers
  • Heat exchangers / radiators
  • Cooling towers
  • Capacitors
  • Axial fans

Serie AF / LA
DIRECTLY DRIVEN AXIAL FANS

The "AF" and "LA" series of medium performance fans were designed to meet most industrial applications' cooling and ventilation requirements. They were developed to provide the best combination of reliability, versatility, performance, quality, environmental impact, and cost. All these products have features that make them easily compatible with the most widespread technical specifications and allow significant modifications based on specific customer requirements. Direct coupling solutions with 2 to 16 pole motors are available to suit fan performance and noise requirements. Belt driven solutions with larger diameters and selected speed are also available (see "AFT").

The "AF" and "LA" series are versatile and reliable, features that make them COMET's most successful products, suitable for the most frequent ventilation needs. COMET's "AF" and "LA" series of fans have successfully proven themselves in more than 60 countries worldwide, in extreme weather, harsh environments, and a wide range of temperatures for the most demanding operations.

These series of fans are selected using COMET's dedicated software, based on the results of a large number of tests carried out by Comet in test tunnels and real installations. The selection is based on five-blade profiles in aluminum alloy, and others in fiberglass or polypropylene, with several blades varying between 3 and 12 blades.

USES:

  • Air coolers
  • Heat exchangers / radiators
  • Cooling of electrical machines (motors, converters, inductors, generators, transformers)
  • Naval
  • Ventilation and air conditioning plants

Serie AFH
AXIAL FANS DIRECTLY DRIVEN

High-quality products for applications that require a guaranteed and reliable component that provides high pressures and precise airflows. They are ideal for applications that require the fan to be a critical part of the system, both in performance and reliability. They are used in different applications, such as power generation, railroad, naval, cement, and are always characterized by the service's demanding and critical nature. Direct coupling solutions with 2 to 8 pole motors are available and belt-driven solutions for all cases where it is convenient to decouple the engine from the drive for service or maintenance. According to criteria based on 15 years of experience and many industrial applications, we only use high-quality components, dimensioned by COMET, to manufacture these units.

DETAILED AERODYNAMIC STUDIES ARE THE BASIS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE "AFH" SERIES FANS, WHICH HAVE KEY FEATURES FOR USE IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS:

  • Above-average air pressures and flows
  • Reduced dimensions
  • Moderate noise
  • High reliability
  • Cost-effective solution
uses:
  • Brake resistors
  • Heat exchangers / radiators
  • Gas turbine boxes
  • Forced ventilation

Traction engines

Serie AFT
BELT-DRIVEN AXIAL FAN

AFT" series fans are designed for applications requiring very high airflows and medium-low pressures, and where it is impossible or not recommended to directly couple the engine's impeller.

IDEAL SOLUTION FOR:

  • Large diameters (air coolers, heat exchangers, cooling towers)
  • Dusty Atmospheres
  • High temperature air flow
  • Low-noise installations
  • Need for access to the engine outside the air flow

COMET sizes the supports and units according to criteria based on its 20 years of experience and hundreds of installations. 

“AFT" series fans are specified using specialized software, which provides a clear and concise data sheet with operating curves, including electrical and noise level data and a preliminary layout. The selection is based on five-blade profiles, with a number ranging from 3 to 12. This versatility offers unparalleled design options when selecting a fan unit.

uses:

  • Air coolers
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Cooling towers
  • Capacitors
  • Ventilation plants
