# Industrial Specification: Circulation Fan

## 1. Technical Definition
A fan system that circulates heated air within a curing oven to ensure uniform temperature distribution and consistent curing of materials.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 m/s air velocity at 150-250°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Bearing temperature exceeding 120°C or motor winding temperature exceeding 155°C (Class F insulation limit)**, Mechanism: **Thermal degradation of lubricant viscosity at 120°C causes bearing seizure; insulation breakdown occurs at 155°C due to Arrhenius rate law of polymer degradation**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Voltage unbalance exceeding 2% between phases | 8 | Motor winding overheating due to negative sequence currents | Install voltage unbalance relay with 2% trip threshold and phase monitoring |
| Particulate accumulation exceeding 50 g/m³ in air stream | 8 | Fan blade imbalance causing vibration exceeding 4.5 mm/s RMS | Install HEPA filtration with 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 μm particle size |
