Eliturbo® air mixer product introduction

Eliturbo® is an air mixer that is able to horizontally and vertically even the air temperature, to even
the humidity and to reduce the running costs for heating and cooling in large buildings.

Eliturbo® uses a special helicentrifugal rotor that mixes the air, it does not create annoying air
currents that can bother workers, it is manufactured complying with the security norms and the
environment’s hygiene norms.

The Eliturbo® air mixer, differing from the other ceiling fans, doesn’t direct the airflow down and
in concentrated areas, but it distributes the air in a radial horizontal way in large areas with an
imperceptible ventilation.

The air stratification phenomenon and heat accumulation near the ceiling, in large volume
buildings, is very common and is the cause of high energy costs for heating the premises.
An Eliturbo® air mixer system prevents the air stratification phenomenon, reduces the energy
consumptions and improves the environment comfort.

The use of Eliturbo®’s exclusive air mixing improves the environment conditions even during the
summer season when, caused by high temperature and high percentage of relative humidity, a
micro climate, intolerable by personnel and structures, is generated.
The Eliturbo® air mixer creates a constant air exchange through the open windows and other
openings, keeping an active ventilation of the environment.

3 - Installing

3.1 General warnings for the installation

Before proceeding with installing the Eliturbo® units, it is necessary to check if all the components
have been unpacked and their integrity checked.
The installation an start up of the Eliturbo® units must be done by qualified personnel and
complying with the laws in force in the Country where the units will be installed.
The Eliturbo® air mixers can be supplied with two different directions of rotation, this is
identifiable by the arrow colour applied on the unit and on its package:

The choice the first unit’s rotation is not important as long as the following units are installed with
alternate rotations; it is not important what rotation the last unit has.

3.2 Installing the Eliturbo® air mixer

Before installing the units, verify that the position they should be installed they will not interfere
with the operating of existing machinery as lifters, cranes etc.
Avoid positioning the unit near scaffolding, racks, etc..
In case of installation near an accessible mezzanine, check that the unit is installed at least 2,5m
far from the mezzanine.

It is suggested to anchor the Eliturbo® units to the ceiling or to a beam, at a minimum distance
from them of at least 15% of the entire height of the building but in any case not less than one
meter.
For example:

Ceiling height (meters) Installation height (meters)

6 5
8 6,5 ÷ 7

10 8 ÷ 8,5

Clockwise rotation

Counter clockwise rotation

7

IST E101.101-ver.11.2015 - EN

To anchor the unit to the ceiling use steel chains with a minimum diameter of the wire of 3.5 mm
or use steel cables with minimum diameter of 4.0 mm

For a quick installation it is suggested to use chains.

The anchor points have to be at a sufficient distance to contrast the starting torque; it is suggested
to position the anchoring points so that the chains will have an angle of 30° to 40° from the
vertical line.

The length of the hanging device has to be long enough to grant a distance of at least one meter
between the anchor point and the Eliturbo®’s motor.

The hanging devices have to support a weight equivalent to 10 times the weight of the unit
distributed on the anchor points chosen (at least 100 Kg for each anchor point: with two anchor
points).

The Eliturbo® air mixer does not have to be installed at less than 2,5 m distance from the floor.

Make sure that each air mixer is perfectly horizontal at the end of its installation.

3.3 Electrical connections

The connection to the electric network must be done by qualified personnel.
The electrical cabling and connections must be made complying to the norms.

Electrical supply:

- 230 V 1∼ 50 Hz for units with single phase motor

- 400 V 3 ∼ 50 Hz for units with three phase motors

Between each Eliturbo® air mixer and the electric network insert an omnipolar switch, with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm between each pole, easily reachable by the end user.

All motors must be protected with a motor protector switch calibrated at a voltage of 1,1 I 1,15
times the voltage indicated on the data plate.
If a switchboard or speed controller is installed then follow the switchboard/speed controller’s
own instructions.

IST E101.101-ver.11.2015 - EN

3.4 Start up

Before switching on the Eliturbo® air mixer check that the hanging devices (chains, fischers, etc.)
are correctly fixed, the product is perpendicular to the vertical line and that the electrical cables
don’t interfere with the movement of the blades.

Start the Eliturbo® air mixer and check the following:

- the rotation of the blades corresponds to the arrow indication on the product (see paragraph

3.1)

- that there are no strange noises: if there are strange noises then switch off immediately the

Eliturbo® air mixer by interrupting the electric power supply to the product and find out what
causes the noise

- the product does not have an excessive vibration due to the unbalance of the blades: if the

vibration is excessive switch off immediately the Eliturbo® air mixer by interrupting the electric
power supply to the product and contact the Technical Assistance of Impresind Srl

- in any case do not start up the product if any of the above signs are clearly showing

To change rotation to the motor, in case the blade is not rotating in the direction of the arrow on
the product, first cut off electrical power to the Eliturbo® air mixer and then follow these steps:

- Single phase motor: connect the terminals as indicated in the electrical scheme on the product

- Three phase motor: exchange the two phases (example R-S)

4 - Risks

Be careful of the fan blades when moving. Never insert limbs in the product: mechanical danger
It is forbidden to use liquid substances to clean the product: electrocution danger

5 - Emergency situations

In case of emergency:

-

- Switch off immediately the motor and open the electric circuit using the omnipolar switch

- Identify and fix the problem by analysing the causes

- Contact the Technical Assistance service

- IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO USE WATER TO ESTINGUISH A FIRE ON THE PRODUCT

6 - Use

6.1 Switch on and off

Switch on and off the product using the omnipolar switch or the speed controller installed, it is
possible to add (at end user’s care) a clock switch that can manage automatically the time to
switch on and off the product.

6.2 Suggested use

Switch on the Eliturbo® air mixers 15 to 30 minutes before the heating system switches on.
Switch off the Eliturbo® air mixers 15 to 30 minutes after the heating system switches off, possibly
evaluate to bring forward the switching off time of the heating system.

10

IST E101.101-ver.11.2015 - EN

Do not apply a room thermostat to command the Eliturbo® air mixer.
The Eliturbo® air mixer has to function constantly to contrast the natural stratification of hot air
towards the ceiling.
For better management of the system and to achieve energy savings it is necessary that the
heating system is commanded by a room thermostat positioned at 1,5 meters of height from the
floor.

6.3 End of season switch off

At the end of the heating season, the system can be stopped by cutting off the electric tension
with the general switch.

7 - Maintenance

Before the beginning of the heating season it is necessary to check that the products work
properly, so that in case of problems there is time to intervene with maintenance or repairs.
Check once a year:

- the electric network safety, absorption and dissipation

- that the Eliturbo® air mixer are well anchored to the ceiling or beam (chains, fischer plugs

etc…)

- stability and balancing of the fan blades: no big vibrations have to be detected

- cleanliness of the fan’s blades (in dusty or humid environments deposits on the fan blades can

make them heavier obliging the engine to work excessively)

- general cleanliness of the Eliturbo® air mixer.

Use cleaning products that do not damage the Eliturbo® air mixer materials and electrical cabling.

8 - Dismantling

Dismantling the system must to be done by specialised personnel by using correct tools and
personal protection devices.
In case of dismantling or discontinuation of the system, it is necessary to collect all the materials
and dispose of them to the respective disposal centres, if possible by contacting disposal
specialised companies.
