General Safety Information

Only qualiﬁed personnel should install this unit. 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 high winds or seismic activity are 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), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.

DANGER

Always disconnect power before working on or near a unit. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker to prevent accidental power up.

CAUTION

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 the maximum cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed signiﬁcantly affects 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 blower access doors while the fan is running.

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

Receiving

Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notiﬁcation on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be ﬁlled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Trafﬁc Department. If damaged upon arrival, ﬁle claim with carrier. 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.

Handling

Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged ﬁnish may reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion.

Storage

Units 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 unit 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

units 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°F (-1°C) and 110°F (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 get rid of 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 in. (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.

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 fan wheel by hand ten to ﬁfteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three months, the fan motor should be energized. 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 lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or ﬁne emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly 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 or WD-40® or the equivalent.

REMOVING FROM STORAGE — As units are removed

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

Prior to installing the unit and system components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working order.

1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel, bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for tightness.

2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no parts are rubbing.

System Start-Up

For proper unit function and safety, follow everything in this start-up procedure in the order presented. This is to be done after the electrical connections are complete.

PRE-START CHECK LIST

1. Disconnect and lock-out all power switches to fan.

2. Check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on the fan, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness.

3. Rotate the fan wheel by hand and assure no parts are rubbing.

4. Check the V-belt drive for proper alignment and tension.

•AmperageMeter

1. Check Voltage

Before starting the unit, compare the supplied voltage with the unit’s nameplate voltage and the motor voltage. Units are not provided with thermal overload protection unless a control center has been ordered with the unit or the motor has been selected with thermal overload protection.

2. Check Blower Rotation

A common problem is wheel rotation in the wrong direction. For centrifugal fans, incorrect wheel rotation will provide poor air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout. Rotation should be checked while the fan is coasting to a stop. Proper wheel rotation is shown.

any two supply power connections will reverse the direction of rotation.

To reverse the rotation, turn the power off and use the following procedure:

• Forsinglephaseunits,rewirethemotorperthe

instructions on the motor.

• Forthreephaseunits,interchangeanytwo

power leads. This can be done at the motor starter.

3. Check for Vibration

Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of bearings. Excessive vibration may be experienced during initial start-up. Left unchecked, excessive vibration can cause a multitude of problems, including structural and/or component failure. Many conditions can be discovered by careful observation. If the problem is wheel unbalance, in-place balancing can be done providing there is access to the fan wheel. Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To eliminate this undesirable effect, Greenheck has used a heavy canvas connection between the scroll and the discharge of the fan. If noise is an issue, we recommend using heavy canvas connections on the inlet of the fan. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual if a problem develops.

4. Air Volume Check and Measurement

Along with the building balance, the unit’s air volume (cfm) should be measured and compared with its rated air volume. This unit is ﬂexible for varying air volume, but the actual air volume should be known for making ﬁnal adjustments. The most accurate way to measure the air volume is by using the pitot traverse method in the ductwork away from the blower. Other methods can be used, but should be proven and accurate. To adjust the air volume, change the fan rpm or the system losses. See Troubleshooting section in this guide.

5. Measure Motor Voltage, Amperage and Fan RPM

All access doors must be installed. Measure and record the input voltage and motor amperage(s).

To measure the fan RPM, the blower door will need to be removed. Minimize measurement time because the motor may over amp with the door removed.

Compare measured amps to the motor nameplate full load amps and correct if over amping. See the Troubleshooting section in this guide.

Proper Wheel Rotation

When connecting a 3-phase motor, there is a 50% chance that the fan will run backwards. Changing

Hot Water and Chilled Water

1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. Water pipes are copper with sweat connections. USE WET TOWEL TO AVOID BURNING COIL CONNECTION GROMMETS. When installing coupling, do not apply undue stress to the connection extending through the unit. Use a back-up pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil connection and header.

2. Connect the water supply to the bottom connection on the air-leaving side and the water return to the top connection on the air-entering side. The extra bottom connection can be used for an auxiliary manual drain connection, and the extra top connection may be used for an automatic air vent, or the extra connections can be capped. To ensure proper venting, an external air vent in the piping is recommended. Connecting the supply and/or return in any other manner will result in very poor performance. CAP UNUSED CONNECTIONS.

3. The air vent at the uppermost point should be temporarily opened during system start-up to release all of the air from the coil. To maintain heat transfer capacity, periodically vent any air in coil. Vent to be located behind connections side access door.

4. Water coils are not normally recommended for use with entering air temperatures below 40°F. No control system can be depended on to be 100% safe against freeze-up with water coils. Glycol solutions or brines are the only safe media for operation of water coils with low entering air conditions.

WARNING

Continuous water circulation through the coil at all times is highly recommended.

5. Pipe sizes for the system must be selected on the basis of the head (pressure) available from the circulation pump. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards.

6. For chilled water coils, the condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. See Drain Pan Traps section and related drawing.

Direct Expansion (DX) Coils

1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. Undue stress should not be applied at the connection to coil headers.

2. The condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. See Drain Pan Traps and related drawing.

3. When connecting suction and liquid connections, make sure the coil is free from all foreign material. Make sure all joints are tight and free of leakage.

4. Greenheck does not supply compressor or

condensingunits,forfurtherinstructiononDXcoil

installation and operation contact your compressor and/or condenser manufacturer.

DXI coils have dual connections and should be used with two compressors.

WARNING

Standard unit insulation of 1.5 lbs. density has an insulation R-value of 3.7.

For applications where the unit discharge temperatures are below 55°F and the unit is installed in a warm, humid environment, additional insulation may need to be applied to the exterior of the unit to prevent condensation.

Steam Coils

Application Recommendations

Satisfactory operation and service life are best ensured when coils are installed with proper piping, trap and support arrangement. The following notes and drawing are recommended for the coil unit installation and operation.

General

1. Provide separate supports and hangers for the unit and the piping.

2. Be certain that adequate piping flexibility is provided. Stresses resulting from expansion of closely coupled piping and coil arrangement can cause serious damage.

3. Standard steam coils are pitched in the casings when installed for horizontal airflow. The casing must be level after the unit is installed for proper condensate drainage. If condensate is not removed, the coil will suffer from water hammering and will have a shortened life. On vertical airflow applications, the coils must be pitched when installed.

4. Do not reduce pipe size at the coil return connection. Carry return connection size through the dirt pocket, making the reduction at the branch leading to the trap.

Steam Coil Piping

®

2P = minimum

General - continued

5. It is recommended that vacuum breakers be installed on all applications to prevent retaining condensate in the coil. Generally, the vacuum breaker is to be connected between the coil inlet and the return main. The vacuum breaker should be open to the atmosphere and the trap design should allow venting of large quantities of air.

6. Do not attempt to lift condensate when using modulating or on-off control.

7. Do not reduce the pipe size leaving the coil.

Traps

1. Size traps in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Be certain that the required pressure differential will always be available. DO NOT UNDERSIZE.

2. Float and thermostatic or bucket traps are recommended for low pressure steam. On high pressure systems, bucket traps are normally recommended. The thermostatic traps should be used only for air venting.

3. Bucket traps are recommended for use with on-off control only.

4. Locate traps at least 12 inches below the coil return connection.

Controls

1. On high pressure installations, a two-position steam valve with a face and bypass arrangement is preferred where modulating control is required.

2. Modulating valves must be sized properly. DO NOT UNDERSIZE.

Freezing Conditions (entering air below 35°F)

1. 5 PSI steam must be supplied to the coil at all times.

2. Modulating valves are not recommended. Control should be by means of face and bypass dampers.

3. Provision should always be made to thoroughly mix fresh air and return air before it enters the coil on return air units. Also, temperature control elements must be properly located to obtain true air mixture temperatures.

4. As additional protection against freeze-up, the trap should be installed sufficiently —far below the coil to provide an adequate hydrostatic head to ensure removal of condensate during an interruption in the steam pressure. Estimate 3 feet for each 1 PSI of trap differential required.

5. On start-up, admit steam to coil ten minutes before admitting outdoor air.

6. Provision must be made to close fresh air dampers if steam supply pressure falls below minimum specified.

Drain Pan / Drain Trap

Drain lines and traps should be run full size from the drain pan connection. Drain pans should have drain lines and traps to permit the condensate from the coils to drain freely. On all units with drain pans, the trap depth and the distance between the trap outlet and the drain pan outlet should be twice the static pressure (P) in the drain pan section under normal operation to assure the trap remains sealed.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard! Disconnect all power sources before doing any work on the unit.

General:

The requirements and practices described below are based on the National Electric Code (NEC) and The Space Heating Standard of the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Although UL requirements are uniform throughout the country, local electrical codes may deviate from the National Electrical Code. Therefore, local inspection authorities should be consulted regarding local requirements.

Electrical Wiring Instructions:

1. Use the wiring diagram supplied with the heater as a guide in correlating ﬁeld wiring with the heater internal wiring.

2. All ﬁeld wiring to the heater must meet the requirements of the National Electric Code and any other applicable local or state codes.

3. Wiring to the heater must be rated for 75°C (167°F) minimum.

4. If heater does not have a built-in disconnect switch or main circuit breaker, install a remote disconnect (furnished by others) in accordance with the National Electric Code, Article 424-65.

Sequence of Operation - Electric Heater

1. Electric heaters are divided in to equally sized steps. For example, a 60 kW heater with 3 steps will have 20 kW per step. The thermostat and step controller will control these steps.

2. 120 Volt power from the control center (when supplied) or by others with out a control center, is delivered to the electric heater for the step controller. This power must be interlocked with the supply fan, so when the fan is off, the heater control power is off.

3. A step control with the thermostat set to 70ºF the heater will be off with a temperature sensing above 70ºF. As the temperature varies the steps turn on and off to hold the setpoint discharge temperature. The colder the discharge temperature becomes the more steps the controller will energize.

4. With a step controller, in addition to the fan interlock mentioned in Step 2, the heater has an airﬂow switch to prove that airﬂow is established before energizing the steps. The heater also has an automatic resetting highlimit switch and manual resetting highlimit switch set above the automatic switch to protect from overheating.

5. For more detailed information on your speciﬁc controller, please review the controller spec sheet supplied with the heater.

CORRECT WRONG WRONG WRONG

Greenheck recommends these procedures to ensure trouble-free operation of this unit. It is especially important to maintain heater units for clean and efﬁcient operation. Most unit failures can be attributed to poor setup or poor maintenance.

A record of maintenance performed on this unit should be kept. This information will provide essential information if problems are encountered. A section at the back of this manual is provided for recording the unit’s maintenance history.

CAUTION

When performing any maintenance on this unit, be certain the power is disconnected and cannot be accidentally turned on. The control center disconnect can be locked in the off position.

Two Weeks after Start-Up

Belts - Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be periodically checked for wear and tightness. Approximately 3/8 inch of deﬂection per ft. of span between sheaves is standard for belt tightness. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied with the unit. Matched belts should always be used on units with multi-groove pulleys.

If adjustments are made, it is very important to check the pulleys for proper alignment. Misaligned pulleys lead to excessive belt wear, vibration, noise and power loss.

Belt Alignment

Replacement of belts can be accomplished by loosening the motor to the point where the belts can be removed by hand. Do not force belts on or off as this may cause breakage of cords leading to premature belt failure. Belts should be adjusted as above.

NOTE: For motors of 1 hp or less a

smaller sliding base bracket is used to attach to blower.

Every Three (3) Months

Filters - The ﬁlter in the unit should be inspected

at least every three (3) months. Depending on the environment, ﬁlters could require changing or cleaning more or less often. The ﬁlters can be slid out of the coil connection side of the unit.

If washable ﬁlters are installed, they can be washed in warm soapy water. An adhesive spray can be applied to increase ﬁlter efﬁciency.

If disposable ﬁlters are installed, check by holding up to a light source. If light cannot pass through the ﬁlter, it should be replaced. Replacement ﬁlters should be of the same manufacturer and size. When reinstalling ﬁlters, be sure to install with the airﬂow in the correct direction indicated on the ﬁlter.

Yearly

Bearings — Most bearings are permanently

lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use. Normal use being considered -20ºF to 120ºF and in a relatively clean environment. Some bearings are re-lubricatable and will need to be regreased depending on fan use. Check your bearings for grease ﬁttings to ﬁnd out what type of bearing you have. If your fan is not being operated under normal use, bearings should be checked monthly for lubrication.

Motors — Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to the exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease buildup on motor housing assures proper motor cooling. Greasing of motors is intended only when grease ﬁttings are provided. Many fractional motors are permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication. Motors supplied with grease ﬁttings should be greased in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. When motor temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC), the grease should be replaced after 2000 hours of running time as a general rule.

Wheels — Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate on the wheel causing imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and housing should be cleaned to assure smooth and safe operation. Inspect fan impeller and housing for fatigue, corrosion or wear.

Routinely check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on the fan, bearing, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness.

Coil Maintenance Start-Up Documentation

Coils must be clean to obtain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Soiled ﬁns reduce the capacity of the coil, demand more energy from the fan, and create an environment for odor and bacteria to grow and spread through the conditioned zone. High pressure water (400 psi or less) may be used to clean coils with ﬁn thickness over 0.006 inches thick. Test the spray pressure over a small corner of the coil to determine if the ﬁns will withstand the spray pressure.

For coils with fragile ﬁns or high ﬁn density, foaming chemical sprays and washes are available. Many coil cleaners contain harsh chemicals, so they must be used with caution by qualiﬁed personnel only. Care must be taken not to damage the coils, including ﬁns, while cleaning.

CAUTION

Fin edges are sharp.

Winterizing Coils

Coil freeze-up can be caused by such things as air stratiﬁcation and failure of outdoor air dampers and/ or preheat coils. Routine draining of water cooling coils for winter shutdown cannot be depended upon as insurance against freeze-up. Severe coil damage may result. It is recommended that all coils be drained as thoroughly as possible and then treated in the following manner.

Fill each coil independently with an antifreeze solution using a small circulating pump and again thoroughly drain. Check freezing point of antifreeze before proceeding to next coil. Due to a small amount of water always remaining in each coil, there will be diluting effect. The small amount of antifreeze solution remaining in the coil must always be concentrated enough to prevent freeze-up.

NOTE: Carefully read instructions for mixing antifreeze solution used. Some products will have a higher freezing point in their natural state than when mixed with water.

Drain Pan Maintenance

Drain pans in any air conditioning unit will have some moisture in them, therefore, algae and other organisms will grow due to airborne spores and bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent this buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan to overﬂow. Inspect twice a year to avoid the possibility of overﬂow. Also, drain pans should be kept clean to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning should be performed by qualiﬁed personnel.
