Product and Documentation Changes

In case of doubt, please contact SKOV A/S.

The date of change appears from the front and back pages.

IMPORTANT

Notes concerning alarm systems

Breakdowns, malfunctions or faulty settings may cause substantial damage and financial losses when regulat-

ing and controlling the climate in a livestock house. It is therefore essential to install a separate, independent

alarm system that monitors the house climate concurrently with the climate and production controller. According

to EU-directive No. 98/58/EU, an alarm system must be installed in all mechanically ventilated houses.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the product liability clause of general terms and conditions

of sale and delivery specifies that an alarm system must be installed.

1 Product description

BF 50 is a direct driven corrosion-free wall fan.

BF 50 is available with air controlled and motor controlled shutters.

The fan is available in several different versions focusing on low power consumption, as well as standard ver-

sions.

BF 50 can be mounted using a cone for optimal air output and reduced power consumption.

BF 50 is specially designed for harsh livestock house environments. This applies to both climatic and electrical

influences.

435998 BF 50 insulation plate

The insulation plate is used for mounting on a BF 50 wall fan where extra

insulation is necessary.

Used to avoid problems with condensation and cold air down draft, espe-

cially during the winter.

Insulation plates should always be used on all wall fans if dimensioned out-

side temperatures are below 0 °C.

Insulation plate cannot be immediately used, if the air controlled shutter is

mounted inside. If this solution is required, a frame for mounting insulation

plate must be established. Such a frame is not supplied by SKOV but must

be produced locally.

The insulation plate is mounted and removed with only one handle.

H x W x D: 1380 x 1380 x 29 mm.

Includes various mounting parts.

1 per wall fan.

435517 BF 50 cover for cone

Use for BF 50 ON/OFF to prevent ice, snow etc. from settling in the cone,

which can damage the shutter system.

The cover is blown off automatically at start-up and must be fitted manually

again.

1 per wall fan.

435442 50" shading kit for wall fan

The shading kit is used for light reduction when using insulation plate or an-

other type of plate.

It reduces the light from outside.

The shading kit contains mounting parts for mounting on plate and wall fan.

At an angle of 60 degrees measured between the fan and plate, the air out-

put will be reduced by approx. 5%

The shading kit can be used on all sizes of wall fans, provided the plate is

square.

1 per wall fan.

435156 50" light trap brown out

Used if dimming is required in the livestock house.

Light reduction factor 175.000:1.

The light trap reduces the air output of the fan without cone by approx. 15

% at 0-70 Pa pressure difference.

The light trap reduces the air output of the fan with cone by approx. 18 % at

0-70 Pa pressure difference.

Supplied as an unassembled unit incl. brackets.

435158 50" light trap black out

Used if a large amount of dimming is required in the livestock house.

Light reduction factor 1.300.000:1.

The light trap reduces the air output of the fan without cone by approx. 31

% at 0-70 Pa pressure difference.

The light trap reduces the air output of the fan with cone by approx. 35 % at

0-70 Pa pressure difference.

Supplied as an unassembled unit incl. brackets.

435490 BF 50/BF 55/DA 1700 PM motor cable 4-core 4 m

Is used for LPC fans in cases where 0.7 m motor cable from the fan box is

insufficient.

After replacing the existing motor cable for BF 50/BF 55/DA 1700 PM motor

cable 4-core 4 m, the motor cable out of the fan box will be 2.7 m.

3.2 Placement of BF 50

BF 50 must be placed in the livestock house according to the drawing supplied. Contact SKOV A/S if major

changes are made.

Check that all BF 50 can be placed freely in relation to other housing equipment upon agreement with the client.

Place the insulation of the brickwork all the way in against the BF 50 and all the way round (as in other building

constructions). This way you prevent a cold bridge along the side of BF 50 from being formed.
