Centrifugal Roof Exhaust Fans

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive details on Greenheck's centrifugal roof downblast exhaust fans, specifically models G and GB. These fans are designed for clean air applications, light contaminants, and are suitable for seismic and high wind conditions. The document covers performance data, construction features, and certifications.
Model Comparison: Models G and GB are compared based on location, mounting, airflow application, drive type, impeller type, and performance. Model G is ideal for short ductwork with low resistance, while Model GB is suited for average ductwork with higher volume and pressure.
Construction Features: Both models feature aluminum, backward-inclined centrifugal wheels for high efficiency and minimal sound. They include a NEMA-1 disconnect switch, precision fan shafts, long-life bearings, and motor cooling systems, ensuring durability and compliance with the National Electrical Code.
Seismic and High Wind Certifications: Models G and GB meet seismic requirements and are certified for high wind and hurricane zones, complying with the International Building Code (IBC) and tested using OSHPD protocols. High wind models are certified by Miami-Dade County and the Florida Building Code.
Emergency Smoke Control: Model GB is available with a smoke control option, certified for high-temperature operation, suitable for emergency smoke control systems.
Vari-Green® Motor and Controls: The Vari-Green motor offers energy efficiency and controllability, operating on AC power converted to DC. It maintains high efficiency even at reduced speeds, providing significant energy savings.
Applications: These fans are suitable for various applications, including general clean air, contaminated air, and emergency smoke control. They are designed to withstand high winds and seismic events, ensuring reliable performance in diverse conditions.
Specifications: Vari-Green motors offer an 80% usable RPM turndown compared to 30% in traditional systems. They are available in various horsepower and RPM configurations, suitable for different voltage and frequency requirements. The motors are designed for easy speed adjustment and integration with building automation systems.
Advantages: Vari-Green motors provide lower operating costs, no maintenance requirements, and easy RPM adjustment. They are beneficial in demand-controlled ventilation applications, reducing energy consumption by adjusting fan speed based on demand.
Cost Analysis: A three-year cost comparison shows that Vari-Green motors have similar initial costs to belt-driven systems but offer significant savings in operating and maintenance costs.
Control Options: Vari-Green motors can be controlled via a dial on the motor, control wire inputs, or various remote control options, including constant pressure control and air quality control based on VOCs, temperature, and humidity.
Installation and Accessories: The document outlines typical installation recommendations, including roof curbs, hinged bases, and curb extensions. It also details options for coatings, disconnect switches, dampers, and motor starters to enhance performance and durability.
Performance Ratings: Performance is certified for installation type A: Free inlet, Free outlet. Power rating (BHP) does not include transmission losses. Performance ratings include the effects of a birdscreen. Sound ratings are loudness values in hemispherical sones at 5 ft. (1.5 m) in a hemispherical free field calculated per AMCA Standard 301.
Fan Performance: Various fan models with different motor HP and RPM settings are detailed. Static pressure and airflow (CFM) values are provided for different configurations, along with sones values indicating sound levels.
Graphical Data: Graphs illustrate the relationship between static pressure, volume (CFM), and RPM for different fan models. Density values are provided: 0.075 lb/ft³ and 1.2 kg/m³.
Additional Notes: Maximum BHP at a given RPM is calculated using a specific formula. Maximum RPM and tip speed calculations are provided for specific models. Maximum motor frame size is specified as 56.
Electrical Shutoff and Options: The document specifies a positive electrical shutoff for fan motors, wired to a junction box within the motor compartment. A NEMA-1 disconnect switch is standard, with other NEMA options available.
High Wind Specifications: Fans must meet Greenheck wind load standards and have certifications such as Miami-Dade NOA# 12-0120.13. They should comply with ASCE 7-05 for design loads and be tested according to ASTM E-330-02 and Florida Building Code protocols.
Seismic Specifications: Fans must comply with IBC 2009, 2012, and OSHPD seismic certifications. They should be shake table tested per ICC ES AC-156 and certified by third-party engineering firms.
Smoke Control Specifications: Fans should have a centrifugal backward-inclined wheel and dual drives sized for 150% of driven horsepower. They must be UL/cUL 705 and UL/cUL listed for emergency smoke control systems.
Quick Delivery and Quick Build Programs: Greenheck offers quick delivery and build programs with same-day or next-day shipments. Custom products can be shipped in 1, 3, 5, or 10 days. Manufacturing locations include the U.S., Mexico, and China.
