Water Driven Turbine Fan – Marine Water Powered Ventilation for Ship Tanks
IMPA 591436 | IMPA 591437
Our Water Driven Turbine Fan is a high-performance, non-sparking marine ventilation solution designed for efficient air delivery into ship holds, cargo tanks, and large enclosed spaces. Powered entirely by water pressure, this fan eliminates electrical hazards and is ideal for explosive or confined marine environments.
As a professional marine equipment supplier based in Ningbo, China, we offer both standard models and fully customized configurations to match your vessel’s exact specifications.
Product Overview
The Water Driven Turbine Fan utilizes an integral water motor to drive a corrosion-resistant impeller. It is specifically engineered for marine applications where reliable, deep-penetration ventilation is required. The standard design features a top-to-bottom airflow direction, blowing fresh air downward directly into the tank or hold to ensure complete air circulation and gas displacement.
Key Features
- Non-Spark Construction: Safe for use in explosive atmospheres and confined spaces
- Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Water motor and impeller fully coated for marine environments
- Downward Airflow Design: Air flows from top to bottom, optimized for ship tank ventilation
- Water Powered Operation: No electricity required; runs on standard shipboard water pressure (1–7 kgf/cm²)
- High Capacity Output: Effective deep penetration for complete tank ventilation
- Compact & Portable: Easy to position over tank openings and hatches
- Full Customization: Hose couplings, bore sizes, and mounting flanges available to order

- Airflow Direction: Top to bottom (blowing air into the tank/hold)
- Flange: Standard mounting flange for deck openings
Customization Options
We understand that every vessel has unique deck and hose configurations. We offer comprehensive customization services to ensure seamless integration with your shipboard systems.
1. Hose Coupling Size
While the default inlet and outlet are 50 mm (2″) threaded, we can manufacture the fan with alternative hose bores:
- 65 mm (2.5 inch)
- 40 mm (1.5 inch)
2. Coupling Style / Fire Hose Adaptor
The standard unit comes with plain threaded ends. Upon request, we can fit internationally recognized fire hose couplings, including but not limited to:
- NAKAJIMA type coupling
- MACHINO type coupling
- Other regional or proprietary coupling standards
3. Mounting Flange Customization
The flange ring that secures the fan to the ship’s deck opening can be custom-manufactured to match your existing hatch pattern. To proceed with a custom flange, please provide a dimensional drawing of the deck opening containing the following minimum information:
- Hatch / Coaming Inside Diameter
- Number of Bolt Holes
- PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) — the bolt hole center-to-center diameter
4. Color Finish
Standard units are available in Silver and Yellow. Custom colors can be supplied to match your vessel’s safety color scheme or fleet branding. Please specify RAL code or provide a color sample when ordering.
5. Water Motor Material
Standard Configuration — Brass Water Motor: Recommended for continuous marine duty and long-term exposure to saltwater environments. Offers superior corrosion resistance and service life.
Economy Option — Aluminum Water Motor: Available as a cost-effective alternative for light-duty or intermittent ventilation applications. Please advise your expected duty cycle and operating environment so we can recommend the most suitable motor material.
Applications
- Ship cargo tank ventilation
- Ballast tank air circulation
- Double-bottom space ventilation
- Engine room and enclosed area cooling
