Open the catalog to page 2WIDE PERFORMANCE RANGE BELT DRIVE FLEXIBILITY To simplify size selection, the Quick Selection chart shown above is useful to determine which IAF fan is best suited to application requirements. PRE-ENGINEERED Chicago's entire IAF fan line is completely preengineered. The primary benefits of pre-engineering include lower cost and greatly reduced lead times that assure speedier delivery to the job site. With belt drive the speed of the fan can be adjusted to provide the exact volume and pressure required. By combining belt drive with a selection of fan Sizes 2700 thru 6600. the IAF provides a...
Open the catalog to page 3BELT DRIVE ARRANGEMENTS AIRFOIL BLADED WHEEL The airfoil blades of Chicago’s IAF fan are formed with steel dies to assure consistent uniformity. For high moisture applications two optional holes are stamped in each blade blank prior to forming. When the blades are folded over and welded these small weep holes allow moisture to escape from the hollow blade. It’s this characteristic attention to design detail that helped build Chicago’s reputation for reliability. Arrangement 1 is often referred to as a bare fan. The customer usually mounts the motor along side the fan. DESIGN FEATURES On...
Open the catalog to page 4INLET VANE CONTROLS Inlet vanes are an economical way to vary the air flow of the fan. The center control design provides low torque and smooth precise operation. PUNCHED FLANGED INLETS Punched flange inlet is a rolled ring that affords greater stiffness. This option simplifies bolted connections. BELT GUARDS V-belt drive guards are typically split and hinged for convenient inspection and maintenance. Guards can be painted yellow per customer request. ACCESS DOORS Wide inspection doors are directly in line with the wheel. The standard door is securely held in place by quick release handles....
Open the catalog to page 5Correction factors for temperature (F.) and altitude (feet above sea level), standard air = .075 lbs. per cubic foot at sea level, 29.92" barometric pressure and 70°F. 6. Check fan mechanical limitations: Since maximum wheel speed shown in Rating Table of 3072 RPM is at 70°F speed, deration factor for temperature from Table 2 of .95 must be used: .95 x 3072 = 2918 Maximum RPM at 400°F. From Rating Table, maximum HP belt drive is 100, so even if fan is motored for cold start-up with 100 HP motor, Size 3000 fan is mechanically satisfactory.
