Product Overview
Material-Based Fan Configuration

The QIYUE FAN 304 Stainless Steel Corrosion-Resistant Centrifugal Fan is designed for ventilation systems where ordinary carbon steel may be affected by moisture, surface rust or mild chemical exposure.

This is not one fixed fan model. The final centrifugal fan platform is selected according to airflow, total pressure, gas composition, operating temperature, dust content, installation arrangement and required drive type.

Depending on the project, the casing, impeller, inlet cone and other gas-contact components can be manufactured from 304 stainless steel. Full stainless steel construction, stainless steel wetted parts and hybrid material configurations are available.

Material Positioning
Why Use 304 Stainless Steel?

A practical material option between painted carbon steel and higher-alloy corrosion-resistant construction.

Moisture Resistance

Better resistance to atmospheric rust and humid operating environments than ordinary painted carbon steel.

Fabrication Capability

Suitable for fabricated casings, impellers, inlet cones and project-specific welded fan components.

Clean Metallic Surface

Provides a durable, cleanable metallic surface for selected food, pharmaceutical and clean manufacturing environments.

Flexible Material Scope

Available as full stainless steel construction, selected air-contact parts or a cost-controlled hybrid configuration.

Construction Options
Define Exactly Which Components Use 304 Stainless Steel
"Stainless steel fan" is not a sufficiently precise specification. The material scope should be defined component by component.
Option 01
Full 304 Stainless Steel Construction

The casing, impeller and principal structural air-contact components are manufactured from 304 stainless steel. Purchased mechanical components remain subject to separate material confirmation.

Option 02
304 Stainless Steel Wetted Parts

Components directly exposed to the conveyed gas use 304 stainless steel, while external supports, bearing pedestals and non-contact structures can remain carbon steel.

Option 03
304 Casing and Impeller

A practical configuration in which the two principal gas-handling components use stainless steel while the base, transmission support and motor arrangement use conventional industrial materials.

Option 04
Hybrid Material Construction

Different components can use different materials according to the gas-contact boundary, corrosion exposure, structural requirements and project budget.

Main Components
Project-Configured Fan Construction
Fan Casing

Welded stainless steel casing with project-specific plate thickness, external reinforcement, inlet flange, discharge flange, inspection opening, drainage and lifting provisions.

Impeller

Backward-curved, forward-curved or radial blade construction selected according to airflow, pressure, efficiency, gas cleanliness and dust conditions.

Inlet Cone

The stainless steel inlet cone guides airflow into the impeller eye. Correct alignment and inlet clearance support stable aerodynamic performance.

Shaft and Sleeve

Shaft material is selected according to torque, speed and mechanical load. Stainless steel sleeves can be provided where exposed sections require corrosion protection.

Base and Support

Available with carbon steel, coated steel or stainless steel base structures, depending on environmental exposure and project requirements.

Drive Arrangement

Direct, belt or coupling drive can be selected according to fan size, speed, temperature, maintenance requirements and motor position.

Typical Selection Direction
Applications to Consider
Humid Industrial Ventilation
Workshops, washing areas, utility ventilation and process areas exposed to moisture.
Cleaner Process Exhaust
Low-dust and mildly corrosive industrial exhaust streams.
Food and Pharmaceutical Utility Exhaust
Applications where a cleanable metallic construction is preferred.
Equipment and Enclosure Ventilation
Air extraction from process equipment and humid machinery enclosures.
Selected Mild Chemical Exhaust
Only after reviewing composition, concentration, temperature and condensate.
Material Warning
Conditions Requiring Separate Review
Chlorides and Salt Spray
May require 316L, duplex stainless steel, titanium or another material.
Strong Acids or Alkalis
Chemical type, concentration, temperature and water content must be supplied.
Continuous Condensation
Condensate may be more corrosive than the original gas stream.
Abrasive or Sticky Dust
Corrosion resistance does not automatically provide wear resistance.
Elevated Temperature
High-temperature duty requires a separate thermal and structural review.

Manufacturing and Inspection
Material Control Must Continue Through Fabrication

Stainless steel selection alone does not guarantee a reliable fan. Fabrication, balancing, alignment and inspection remain essential.

01
Material Identification

Confirm grade, plate thickness, component scope and required certificates before production.

02
Forming and Welding

Control casing geometry, weld sequence, heat input, deformation and internal surface condition.

03
Impeller Balancing

Balance the fabricated impeller after welding and dimensional inspection according to the agreed acceptance criteria.

04
Final Inspection

Check dimensions, rotation, shaft alignment, trial operation, vibration and packing before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
304 Stainless Steel Fan FAQ
Is a 304 stainless steel fan suitable for acid gas?

Suitability depends on acid type, concentration, temperature, moisture and condensate. A material review is required before selection.

What is the difference between 304 and 316L?

316L is generally considered for more demanding wet, chloride-containing or chemical conditions, but neither grade is universally suitable for every corrosive medium.

Can only the impeller be manufactured from 304 stainless steel?

Yes, but all components exposed to the gas should be reviewed. A stainless steel impeller alone does not protect the casing, inlet cone or internal fasteners.

Is this product limited to the 4-72 model?

No. The displayed fan represents one possible structure. Stainless steel construction can be applied to different fan platforms according to airflow and pressure.

Can an explosion-proof motor be supplied?

Yes. Please provide the hazardous-area classification, gas group, temperature class, electrical standard and power supply.

Can material certificates and performance curves be supplied?

Material certificates can be supplied when specified before production. A performance curve can be prepared after the final fan size, speed and duty point are confirmed.
