Tubular Centrifugal Fans

The TCB series of inline centrifugal fans is designed for ducted inline, roof upblast, and roof supply installations. Whether the application is commercial or industrial, Greenheck tubular centrifugal fans provide quiet, efficient, and reliable air performance.

All TCB products are belt driven with motors out of the airstream. Housings are constructed of welded steel or aluminum (optional) and are suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. The backward inclined wheels are manufactured from aluminum and are suitable for clean air or fume exhaust applications. All TCB products meet “Type B” construction as defined by AMCA Standard 99-0401 Classification for Spark Resistant Construction. In addition, the TCB is available with the UL 762 listing for restaurant exhaust applications.

Greenheck Fan Corporation certifies that the model TCB tubular centrifugal inline fans shown herein are licensed to bear the AMCA seal. The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 and Publication 311 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.

TCB Inline Fan - Belt Drive

The Model TCB inline fan is the ideal choice for ducted systems. Greenheck’s standard fan can be mounted in any position from horizontal to vertical, allowing installation in the smallest possible space at the lowest installation cost. The centrifugal wheels used in this design provide higher efficiencies and lower sound levels than propeller type inline fans when used in medium pressure ducted systems. TCB fans are available in either painted steel or aluminum construction.

Typical applications include:

• General exhaust or supply

• Industrial space ventilation

• Fume hood exhaust (special coatings are available)

• Combustion air

• Roof exhaust or supply (with weatherhood)

• Restaurant grease exhaust

Universal Mounting

All TCB fans can be mounted horizontally or vertically. For ease of installation, eight mounting brackets are welded on each fan. The eight brackets along with four mounting supports, provide a universal mounting system.

Fig. 1 Horizontal Base Mount

Each fan is shipped as standard in this arrangement. Motor at 12 o’clock is standard.

Fig. 2 Horizontal Base Mount with Motor at 3 or 9 o’clock

A set of optional mounting rails are required for this installation. This is the base mounting position required with the easy access option.

Fig. 3 Horizontal Ceiling Hung

In this installation the supports can be positioned for mounting the motor at either 6 or 12 o’clock.

TCBRU Roof Upblast Fan

The TCBRU is ideal for roof upblast exhaust systems with moderate system static pressures and for applications where quiet operation is essential. Standard features include a necked-down windband section which creates the high outlet velocities necessary to carry contaminated exhausts away from the roof deck. All TCBRU fans include motor covers for weather protection of the motor and drives, gravity operated dampers to prevent backflow into the building, and a welded curb cap for ease in mounting to a roof curb. TCBRU fans are available in either painted steel or aluminum construction.

Typical applications include:

• Low cfm/high velocity exhaust

• General exhaust

• Fume hood exhaust

• Industrial process exhaust

When selecting TCBRU fans, use the TCB inline performance data (pgs. 12 to 31) along with the following system effect curves. The pressure loss determined below must be added to the extended system static pressure to assure accurate selections. Greenheck’s Computer Aided Product Selection (CAPS) software will add these

TCBRS Roof Supply Fan

The TCBRS roof mounted supply fan is designed for intake air systems with pressures up to 4 inches of wg and where low sound is required. The TCBRS hood intake is located at a sufficient height above the roof to limit entry of roof debris and snow. In addition, the hood has sufficient intake area to keep velocities low. Filters are available to collect dust and moisture before entering the building. Motor and drive protection is provided with a weatherproof motor cover. For ease of installation, TCBRS fans are shipped assembled and have curb caps for attaching to roof curbs. TCBRS fans are available in either painted steel or aluminum construction.

Typical applications include:

• Ducted supply systems

• Industrial space supply

• Filtered supply

Inlet & Outlet Flanges

Flanged inlets and outlets with mounting holes are provided for duct connections (TCB only).

Bearings

Standard bearings are grease lubricated, self-aligning, ball type in pillow block mounts. Bearings are selected for a minimum L(10) life in excess of 80,000 hours {L(50)

Housing

Housings are continuously welded steel and coated

average life of 400,000 hours} at maximum cataloged operating speeds.

with Permatector™.

Belt & Bearing Tube

Protective Coating

All steel constructed units are coated with Permatector™, a thermosetting polyester urethane. Aluminum units are uncoated.

Type B Spark Resistance

All fans have aluminum wheels and a nonferrous (aluminum) rub ring which surrounds the fan shaft where it passes through the drive cover. This construction meets Type B spark resistant requirements.

Belts, bearings, and drives are protected from the airstream by heavy gauge belt tubes and bolted bearing covers with shaft seals.

Extended Lube Lines

Lubrication lines with grease fittings allow bearing lubrication without disassembling the fan.

Optional Construction Features

Aluminum Construction

Aluminum construction is available on the TCB, TCBRU and TCBRS. Aluminum fans are an excellent choice for applications involving moisture or coastal installations.

Easy Access Construction

The Easy Access option is highly recommended to allow for inspection, cleaning and service of internal fan components. By removing one access panel, service to the wheel, shaft, and bearing assembly is possible without removing duct connections. In addition, all internal fan components can be removed from the fan through the easy access panel.

Easy Access construction is available on all levels and sizes of TCB, TCBRU, and TCBRS. Easy Access is also available with aluminum fan construction.

Note: The Easy Access panel is located 180° from the motor position.

Optional Construction for UL 762 Restaurant Exhaust

Inline grease exhaust fans are excellent alternative for kitchen applications when roof or wall mounted ventilators are not practical. The TCB with UL 762 grease option is designed to withstand the demands of high temperature kitchen grease exhaust and high-pressure duct washes.

Leak Resistant Construction Features

Continuously welded housing and integral duct flanges

provide air and water tight design.

Bearing cover gasketed and includes a labyrinth shaft seal

to prevent moisture leakage during normal operation and while cleaning with high pressure solvents.

Continuously welded belt tube keeps the belts and

bearings clean.

Two threaded drain connections are located 90° from the

motor location to allow for removal of grease and moisture.

Mounting and Serviceability Features

Universal mounting brackets allow for rotation of the motor to

the 3 or 9 o’clock position at the jobsite.

Duct flanges and access door bolt locations are no more

than 4 inches (100 mm) on center per NFPA 96.

“Easy Access Door” provides access for duct cleaning and allows removal of the wheel,

shaft and bearings for maintenance. Gasket is rated for 400°F (200°C) and prevents leakage during operation [Fan is rated for 300°F (149°C) continous operation].

System Design Guidelines

• Inline grease exhaust fans should be installed near the end of the duct run to reduce sound at the hood.

• Inline fan must be securely bolted to the exhaust duct per NFPA-96 guidelines. Greenheck’s companion flanges are recommended for ease of installation.

• Grease exhaust fans and ductwork must maintain 18 inches (46 cm) minimum clearance to combustible material. If the ductwork and fan are insulated, the inspection door must be accessible for maintenance.

• A minimum of 10 ft. (3.0 m) of clearance must be kept from the fan outlet to adjacent buildings, property lines, or the closest point of any air intake or operable window at or below the plane of the exhaust termination.

• Greenheck recommends that all inline grease applications be reviewed by your local code official to ensure compliance with NFPA, IMC, and other local codes.

UL 762 is concerned with fans designed for removal of smoke and grease laden vapors with airstream temperatures up to 300°F.
