General Safety Information

Only qualiﬁed personnel should install this fan. Personnel should have a clear understanding of these instructions and should be aware of general safety precautions. Improper installation can result in electric shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other considerations may be required if seismic activity is present. If more information is needed, contact a licensed professional engineer before moving forward.

1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.

2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary objects.

3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.

4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed signiﬁcantly effects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor current should be checked to make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals. Replace cord immediately if damaged.

6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the equipment.

7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is running.

DANGER

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

DANGER

Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher, verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant l’installation ou l’entretien.

ATTENTION

Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir avant toute maintenance.

ATTENTION

Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères explosives.

Centrifugal Utility Fans

Receiving

Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of any damage detected. The customer will make a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged, immediately contact your Greenheck Representative. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Conﬁrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

Storage

Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

Indoor -

The ideal environment for the storage of fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C), wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts. All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to remove any moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches

(89 mm)

off the ﬂoor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.

Outdoor - Fans designed for outdoor applications may

be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.

The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so it is above water and snow levels and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking supports so rain water will run off.

Do not cover parts with plastic ﬁlm or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles. Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.

Inspection and Maintenance During Storage

While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed.

If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to ﬁfteen revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor and bearings. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.

Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lintfree cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or ﬁne emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean with Tectyl

506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive, WD-40® or the equivalent.

Removing From Storage

As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their ﬁnal location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into operation.

Centrifugal Utility Fans

Installation

Inspect the unit for any damage and report it to the shipper immediately. Also, check to see that all accessory items are accounted for.

Move the fan to the desired location and fasten securely through mounting holes provided in the base angles. The unit must be set level (shimming may be necessary). Flexible duct connections and vibration isolators should be used where noise is a factor.

The motor voltage and ampere rating must be checked for compatibility with the electrical supply prior to ﬁnal electrical connection. Supply wiring to the fan must be properly fused, and conform to local and national electrical codes.

The discharge is factory set as speciﬁed by customer order, however, it can be rotated to other discharge positions in the ﬁeld if necessary. Removal of the housing bolts allows the discharge to be rotated to the clockwise positions below. For TAD, BD and BAD discharge positions, a portion of the frame angle must be removed.

Clockwise rotation shown. Counterclockwise discharge positions are a mirror image of those shown. Fan rotation is always speciﬁed from the drive side of the housing.

Affect of Installation on Performance

Restricted or unstable ﬂow at the fan inlet can cause pre-rotation of incoming air or uneven loading of the fan wheel, yielding large system losses, increased sound levels and structural failure of the fan wheel. Free discharge or turbulent ﬂow in the discharge ductwork will also result in system effect losses.

These examples show the system layout and inlet and discharge conﬁgurations which can affect fan performance.

Method for Centering Wheel

On belt drive units, centering can be accomplished by (a) loosening the inlet cone bolts to move the inlet cone or by (b) loosening the bearings in order to move the shaft. Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be adjusted by loosening the wheel hub set screws and moving the wheel to the desired position. Tighten all fasteners and set screws securely and realign drive pulleys after adjustment.

Wheel Rotation

Rotation direction of the wheel is critical and incorrect rotation will result in reduced air performance, increased motor loading and possible motor burnout.

Check wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the unit and noting if rotation is in the same direction as the airﬂow at the outlet and conforms to the rotation decal afﬁxed to the unit.

Wheels as viewed from the drive side:

Airﬂow

Models SFD and SFB units should be operated only when attached to the system for which they were designed. Without proper system static pressure, the motor could be overloaded.

Bearing Lubrication Schedule

Shaft bearings are the most critical moving part of a fan. Therefore, special attention should be given to keeping the bearings clean and well lubricated. Proper lubrication provides for reduction in friction and wear, transmission and dissipation of heat, extended bearing life and prevention of rust.

In order for a lubricant to fulﬁll these tasks, the proper grease applied at regular intervals is required. See the recommended bearing lubrication schedule below.

If unusual conditions exist (temperatures below 32°F or above 200°F), moisture or contaminants - more frequent lubrication is required.

of Shots

• Lubrication interval is based on 12 hour per day operation and maximum 160°F housing temperature. For 24 hour per day operation, the interval should be cut in half.

• Lubricant should be added with the shaft rotating and until clean grease is seen purging from the bearing. The lubrication interval may be modiﬁed based on the condition of the purged grease. If bearing is not visible to observe purged grease, lubricate with number of shots indicated in chart for bore size.

• For conditions including high temperatures, moisture, dirt or excessive vibration, consult the factory for a speciﬁc lubrication interval for your application.

• Lubricant should be a high quality lithium complex grease conforming to NLGI Grade 2. Factory recommends Mobilux EP-2.

• The use of synthetic lubricants will increase lubrication intervals by approximately 3 times.

In addition to lubricating the bearings at speciﬁed intervals, set screws in the bearing collars should be checked for tightness. A bearing collar which has loosened will cause premature failure of the fan shaft. Fasteners attaching the bearings to the drive frame should also be checked.

Motor Maintenance (Belt and Direct Drive)

Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease buildup on the motor housing assures proper motor cooling. Use caution and do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or bearings. Under no circumstances should motors or bearings be sprayed with steam, water or solvents.

Many fractional horsepower motors are permanently lubricated for life and require no further lubrication. Motors supplied with grease ﬁttings should be greased in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Wheel and Fastener Maintenance

Wheels require very little attention when exhausting clean air, however, air heavily laden with grease or dirt will tend to accumulate on the wheel causing unbalance. Wheels exhausting dirty or grease-laden air require frequent cleaning to assure smooth and safe operation.

All fasteners, including set screws in the bearing collars, should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed.

A proper maintenance program will help preserve the performance and reliability designed into the fan.

Belt Maintenance (Belt Drive)

Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be periodically checked for tension and wear. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied with the unit. Replacement of belts should be accomplished by loosening the tensioning “L-Bolts” so the belts may be removed by hand. Do not force belts on or off as this may cause breakage of cords and lead to premature belt failure.

Belt tension should be adjusted to allow 1/64 in. of belt deﬂection per 1 in. of belt span. For example, a 16 in. belt span should have 16/64 in. or 1/4 in. of deﬂection with moderate thumb pressure at mid-point between the pulleys. (Figure 4).
