Belt Drive Fluid Coolers
Multiple fans, carefully matched to the coil surface cover a large
percentage of the face area providing uniform air distribution.
Energy efficient, three phase 1750 RPM motors with drip-proof,
grease lubricated ball bearings. Each motor is inherently
overcurrent protected providing built-in protection against single
phasing. All motors are factory wired with leads marked and
terminated in a single weatherproof junction box on outside of
the unit casing.
Convenient access panels are provided on each fan section for
ease in maintaining fans.
Casing is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, or galvanized
steel.
Multiple fan sections, each powered by a separate motors, are
separated by a full width baffle to prevent air bypass during fan
cycling.
Motors are positioned within unit casing for weather protection.
Adjustable base provides ease in belt tension adjustment.
Each fan is equipped with heavy duty pillow block ball bearings.
Bearings are supplied with lubrication fittings shown. Fan shafts
are polished steel, precision machined to assure smooth
operation, minimum bearing wear. Shafts are coated with a
corrosion resistant dressing.
Fan guards are constructed of heavy gauge, close meshed, steel
wire zinc plated and iridite dipped to minimize corrosion.

For average fluid temperatures below 90˚F or above 140˚F, contact the
factory for special application.
The standard coil construction and fin pattern is compatible with
most system environments. Where the fluid cooler is subject to
a contaminated or corrosive airstream, special coils may be
required. A vailable for these applications are coils with wider fin
spacing for easier cleaning, coils Heresite® coated to reduce
corrosion (up through 169" long cabinet), polyester painted fins
for salt atmosphere protection (BOHNGUARD®), and copper fin/
copper tube coils for all models.
Extended Lube Lines
Available on belt drive units, extended lube lines are factory
installed with external grease fittings to make lubrication routine.
Low Ambient Operation
Fan Control
Fan control is an automatic operation to control the leaving fluid
temperature by cycling fans off in sequence. Each fan section,
with the exception of the number one cell, operates under the
control of an individual thermostat which senses leaving fluid
temperature. As the fluid temperature drops below the set point
of each thermostat, that fan section cycles off. The number one
fan section remains on at the full fan cycling. Cooler capacity
drops to the approximate capacity percentages shown in the table
below.
Connection Manifold Kit
This field installed kit converts the standard dual circuit cooler
(direct drive models and belt drive models) to one having a single
inlet and outlet connection.
Sealtite Wiring
Sealtite wiring is watertight, flexible conduit and fittings for fan
motors. It is factory installed and replaces the standard THW
wiring.
NOTE: The standard fan control packages use individual
thermostats to cycle fans. This method of control will allow leaving
fluid temperatures to fluctuate between fan cycling points. For
applications requiring precise fluid temperature control during
all periods of operation, contact the factory applications
department.
Multiple Contactor Fan Cycling:
Consists of a factory mounted and wired, weatherproofed
enclosure containing starting contactors (with holding coils) and
thermostat(s) with sensing bulb strapped to coil outlet header.
Specify control voltage on order: 24V, 115V or 208-230V
available.
The fan control thermostats must be field adjusted to meet design
requirements. The maximum temperature setting for the standard
control thermostat is 100˚F. For applications requiring precise
fluid temperature control during all periods of operation, contact
the factory applications department.
