Specifications:
The document outlines specifications for various fan models, including internal or external power supply options, factory-mounted end switches, and different types of dampers such as backdraft dampers for exhaust and supply, which can be gravity or motorized. Heavy-duty dampers are available for higher air volumes, and ultra-low leakage dampers are also mentioned.
Standards and Ratings:
Fans are tested for high wind and hurricane ratings according to Miami-Dade County and Florida standards. Seismic ratings are also provided, with certification to California OSHPD and IBC standards.
Fan Selection Criteria:
Key considerations include air volume, resistance, belt drive vs. direct drive, and fan size. Belt drive fans offer speed adjustment and flexibility, while direct drive fans are preferred for difficult maintenance access. Larger fans have higher initial costs but lower operating costs, whereas smaller fans have stable performance but higher sound levels.
Sound and Pressure Considerations:
Fans for high static pressures produce higher sound levels, while low-pressure applications are recommended for sound-sensitive environments. Accessories like dampers add minimal pressure when installed correctly.
Motor and Performance:
Motors can operate within a service factor range without overheating. Performance tables show RPM selections for belt and direct drive fans, with service factors up to 1.2 Bhp.
Filter Performance:
For reversible models, filter performance graphs help determine static pressure drop. An example calculation is provided for a 42-inch fan at 20,000 cfm.
Control Center:
The ES-CC control center is designed for reversible fan models, offering remote operation and ease of installation. It includes a mode selector switch and optional indicator light.
Dimensional Data:
Detailed dimensions for various fan sizes and configurations are provided, including standard and tall base options.
Material and Construction:
Material gauges and construction details for different fan models are listed, including reversible models with specific codes for identification.
Performance Specifications:
Each fan model is listed with its motor horsepower, fan RPM, maximum BHP, and sound levels. The airflow capacity (CFM) is provided at various static pressure levels, indicating the fan's efficiency and suitability for different applications.
Model Number System:
The document explains the coding system used to identify fan models, including details on belt drive configurations, propeller types, and motor sizes.
Performance Limits:
Specific limits for each fan model are outlined, including maximum RPM and motor frame size. The document highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate fan based on these limits to ensure optimal performance.
Sound Ratings:
Sound levels are measured in sones at a distance of 5 feet in a hemispherical free field, following AMCA Standard 301. The document emphasizes that these ratings apply to the highest cataloged CFM at each fan RPM.
Selection Guidelines:
Recommendations are provided for selecting the most efficient fan models based on CFM values, with a focus on minimizing sound levels and maximizing performance.
Critical Information:
CFM values in black indicate the most efficient selections, while gray values are not recommended. Numbers in blue indicate a larger BHP, requiring the next size larger motor. Performance is certified for installation type A, which involves a free inlet and outlet.
Conclusion:
The document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and understanding the performance of various fan models in HVAC systems, ensuring that users can make informed decisions based on detailed technical specifications.
Specifications:
The document outlines specifications for various models of Greenheck's hooded propeller roof fans, including belt drive and direct drive models. Propellers are constructed from fabricated steel, aluminum, or cast aluminum, and are balanced both statically and dynamically. Fan hoods and bases are made from galvanized or painted steel, or aluminum, with arched panels and interlocking ribs for weather protection. Motors are heavy-duty, permanently lubricated, and matched to fan loads.
Procedures:
Installation involves securing propellers to motor shafts using a standard square key and set screw or tapered bushing. Fan bases are typically low profile, with taller bases specified when access doors are needed for damper and actuator service. Safety features include birdscreens and safety guards.
Standards and Certifications:
Fans bear the AMCA Certified Ratings seal for sound and air performance. Bearings are selected for a minimum life of 100,000 hours, with drives sized for at least 150% of driven horsepower.
Reversible Models:
Models RPBR and RPBRF are reversible, belt drive axial type, with cast aluminum, airfoil propellers. They include features for easy maintenance and are designed for durability and reliability.
Warranty and Support:
Greenheck offers a one-year warranty on equipment, covering defects in material and workmanship. Motors are warranted by the manufacturer for one year. Greenheck supports green building efforts by providing energy-efficient, low-maintenance products.
Additional Products:
The document also mentions other fan products like upblast propeller fans and sidewall propeller fans, designed for various commercial and industrial applications, offering high reliability and durability.
