ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The motor of the fan must always be controlled by a frequency

inverter. The frequency inverter permits control of the motor

speed and slow starts.

EQLP FAN, INSTALLATION OPTIONS

CHECKS TO BE MADE PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

• Check that the fan complies with the EU machinery directive.

All inspection doors on the fan section and other function is

equipped with door locks with a key. Additional safety can be

added. EQLZ-37 is a protective screen which can be placed at

the inlet to the fan section. EQLZ-36 is a protective screen that

can be added to the outlet of the fan section if another AHU func-

tion is placed downstream of the fan. EQLZ-36 is protective

screen when the fan section is placed at the outlet of the AHU.

EQLZ-24 is additional protection behind the inspection door at

the fan section.

• Check that a qualified electrician has handed over written

approval for commissioning.

• Check that the fan impeller rotates freely and that no objects

which can be drawn in and damage the fan have been left in

the installation.

• If the fan is equipped with steel spring anti-vibration mountings,

the transport locking devices must be removed before starting

the fan.

Important!

If the fans are idle for more than 3 months prior

to or after installation, the fans should be occa-

sionally rotated by hand at regular intervals.

If this is not done, the bearings are liable to be-

come damaged due to overloading as shown in

the adjacent illustration.

N.B.!

The fan must not be started directly on-line!

Read the MAX permissible frequency at which

the fan motor may be controlled. You’ll find this

frequency specified on the rating plate. Under

no circumstances is it permissible to supply

the fan motor with power of a higher frequency.

MEASURES BEFORE STARTING

The fan must not be started with the damper on the suction or

delivery side closed. However the fan motor may be briefly

energized with the inspection door open for checking that the

direction of impeller rotation is correct.

Check before starting the fan that the impeller rotates freely

and that no objects, which can be drawn in and damage the fan,

have been left in the installation.

If the fan is equipped with steel spring anti-vibration moun-

tings, the transport locking devices must be removed before

starting the fan.

Electric wiring must be carried out by a

qualified electrician.

Important!

Isolate the power supply and wait until the im-

peller has stopped rotating (approx. 1 minute)

before inspecting and servicing the fan.

AIRFLOW MEASUREMENT

The EQLK has equipment for measuring the airflow.

The airflow, q, can be measured by applying a manometer

reading of Δp (Pa), and a constant, k, using the following

formula:

The manometer reading, Δp, which is the difference between

the pressure in the suction chamber by the fan inlet and the

pressure inside the inlet cone, can be read with a manometer

(pressure range of up to 6000 Pa) which should be connected

with a 4 mm dia. tube to 2 externally located pressure tappings.

The value of the constant k is specified in the table below.

A flow indicator with built-in pressure transducer STAZ-23,

STBZ-23 (available as an accessory) should be connected by

means of tubes to the external pressure tappings. This instru-

ment converts the mano-meter pressure reading to a flow

(m3/s) which is shown on a display screen and transmits a

0–10 V output signal, linear with the flow.

q = 1 · Δp m3/s

Important!

For EQLZ-42 U-tube manometers, use only

the red manometer fluid supplied with the

instrument. Never use any other type of fluid.

Precision-adjust the zero point with the zero

adjustment screw.

If the air handling unit is supplied with a control system, the flow

can be read directly in the control panel display.

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION

The flow scale on the indicating instrument and the flow formula

above apply to air with a temperature of +20 °C. For other tempera-

tures, the flow must be corrected using the following formula:

where q = the actual flow through the fan, q20 = the flow reading

and t = the current temperature in °C.

MAINTENANCE

The fan must be inspected and cleaned every 6/12th month.

The length of the interval has been determined on the basis of

approx. 2000 hours of operation during a 12-month period and

for a normal comfort installation.

In environments where the dust content is high in the supply

and/or extract air, the air handling unit will have to be inspected

and cleanedmore often.

The fan is accessible through the inspection door and cleaned

with the fan in place.

CLEANING

Both the supply air and the extract air fan should be inspected

and cleaned whenever the need arises. Dust tends to collect

mainly on the inner side of the fan blades.

The best way to clean the fan impeller is by using a vacuum

cleaner equipped with a soft nozzle. Be careful to remove all

the impurities from the fan blades so that the fan will not come

out of balance.

After adjusting or cleaning the fan, check that it runs free of

vibration.

TO REMOVE THE FAN FROM THE AIR HANDLING

UNIT CASING, ASYNCHRONOUS AND PM-MOTORS

The fan can be withdrawn from the casing in the following way:

1. Remove the frame of the inspection door including the door

and the fixed panel by removing the bolts beneath the cover

plenums.

2. Disconnect the motor cable/control cable to the frequency

inverter and pull the cables through the rotor wall/filter wall.

3. If a shear absorber is fitted: Remove the bolts (2 bolts) that

secure its brackets. Ignore the bolts on the rear side; they

need not be backed off.

If a pressure suppressor and steel spring anti-vibration

mountings are fitted: Remove the bolts to the fan beams in

the floor at both ends.

4. If steel spring anti-vibration mountings are fitted:

Remove the bolts that hold the fan connection against

the fan outlet.

NB!

In the case of air handling units supplied with

a control system, the pressure tappings in

the end connection panels of the unit are not

connected to the airflow sensor of the fan.

If you still want to read the manometer pres-

sure with an external manometer, you can

connect the tubes from the airflow sensor of

the fan across T-nipples to the pressure tap-

pings in the end connection panel of the air

handling unit.

If this external means of measuring flow will

not be permanent, the tubes must be restored

to their original condition.

Warning!

In order to prevent personal injury and damage

to machinery, the safety isolating switch must

be switched off and the safety fuses of the fan

must be removed before beginning work on

the fan.

If two fans are installed in the fan section, the k-value is appli-

cable to the total airflow generated by both fans

5. Withdraw the fan unit. Be careful not to damage the gasket

in the fan’s inlet plate (applies to rubber antivibration

mountings).

The fan can be withdrawn maximally so far out that half the

fan motor protrudes outside the unit casing without support.

6. Push in and reassemble the components in the reverse order.

In cases where there is no possibility to carry out the entire fan

or motor with impeller, alternatively there is no need for a com-

plete disassembly, following procedure can be used:

1. NOTE! Turn off the power at themain switch and mark that

work is ongoing in the fan section.

2. Disconnect all electrical connections in themotor terminal box.

3. Remove themotor bracket fromtheir bolted joints at the unit’s

bottom panel/guide rails.

4. Move themotor bracketwithmotor and impeller from the inlet

cone far enough to enable removal of the impeller.

5. Alternatively loose the bolt joint on themotor and rotate the

motor to enable removal of the impeller.

6. Remove the impeller fromthemotor shaft using a puller.

7. Lift the impeller out of the unit in a suitableway through the

inspectiondoor or disconnect the motor bolted joints if this

has not been done and lift themotor out of theunit in an appro-

priate way through the inspection door.

Important!

Make sure that the fan inlet engages into

the rear holder of the connection frame.

TO REPLACE THE MOTOR

1. Disconnect the electrical connections.

2. Remove the stop screw in the fan impeller hub.

3. Remove the motor from the motor base plate.

4. Extract the impeller from the motor shaft end with an

extractor tool. Utilize the existing extraction grooves in

the hub for this purpose. See the figure below.

5. Back the motor from the impeller.

6. Reassemble in the reverse order, using the tapped hole in

the motor shaft end as a fixing point for the extractor tool.

Carry out maintenance on the motor according to the instruc-

tions provided by the motor supplier.
