This vane axial type fan was custom designed by ODIM Numet to remove heat from high level waste storage canisters at a US DOE facility. The challenges of the design included a heavy heat load demand, a large airflow resistance, and very tight packaging requirements, as well as seismic qualification and stringent QA requirements. |
 |
ODIM Numet provides a unique design of spiral type heat exchangers. These units are very compact and can be provided as a bolted or all welded construction. This ODIM Numet custom product has been supplied to numerous nuclear generating stations, and also to the DOE as part of a process that vitrifies high level radioactive waste |
