K2497-13 - Lincoln Electric Prism SF2400 1HP Wall-Mounted Fume Extraction Fan (230V)

Technical Overview of the Lincoln Electric SF2400 Fan

The Lincoln Electric K2497-13 SF2400 Fan, also known as the Prism 2400, is a robust ventilation component engineered for industrial fume extraction systems. Designed to integrate seamlessly into facility air quality management strategies, this unit is powered by a 1 Horsepower (HP) motor operating on a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply. The motor's torque and efficiency are calibrated to drive the fan assembly to produce an unrestricted airflow of 1200 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), making it highly effective for evacuating welding fumes, particulate matter, and stale air from localized work zones.

A critical engineering feature of the SF2400 is its impeller design. The fan utilizes concave blades that are aerodynamically optimized to maximize air movement while resisting particulate buildup. This self-cleaning characteristic is essential in welding and fabrication environments where airborne contaminants can rapidly degrade fan performance and balance. By reducing the accumulation of debris on the blades, the unit maintains consistent static pressure and airflow over time, significantly lowering the frequency of maintenance intervals required for cleaning and balancing.

Physically, the unit is constructed to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial use. It features a compact footprint with dimensions of 16.00 inches in height, 20.00 inches in width, and 21.00 inches in length, weighing approximately 42 lbs (19 kg). The housing is designed for wall mounting, allowing for strategic placement to optimize air circulation patterns within a facility. Note that while the unit is wall-mountable, the specific mounting bracket is sold separately, allowing for flexibility in installation hardware based on the structural requirements of the site. The K2497-13 is an integral component for facilities aiming to meet occupational safety standards regarding air quality in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, heavy fabrication, and shipbuilding.
