Connection to ducting of other unit section

Connection to some other unit section is carried out by

bolting as described in the general instructions.

Connection to the ducting can be carried out in accor-

dance with one of the alternatives below.

The EULZ-51 flexible connection, and EULZ-52 con-

nection piece are delivered fitted to the unit.

The EULZ-53 counterflange is delivered separately

and should be fitted as shown in Figs. 5–6.

The unit can be connected directly to ducting as

shown in Figs. 7–8.

Make sure that the dead weight of the ducts does not

apply a load on the casing.

Connecting the EULZ-54 air distributor

The EULZ-54 air distributor is normally delivered facto-

ry-fitted to the unit. If it is delivered in unmounted con-

dition, the EULZ-54 should be fitted as shown in Fig.2.

The self-tapping screws, M8 screws and nuts shall be

made of the same material as the casing.

Electrical connections

(to be carried out by an authorized electrical contractor)

Use a rubber-insulated cable for the connection to the

motor, and make sure that the cable is not taut, since it

may otherwise transmit vibrations from the fan casing.

The cable must not be run through the inspection doors.

Use a hole cutter, for instance, to drill a hole for the

cable gland at a suitable point in the casing. A suitable

arrangement of the cable gland is shown in Fig. 9.

Fig. 9

Safety isolating switch

The fan must be equipped with a safety isolating switch

(EULZ-17 for instance). Always isolate the motor before

doing any work on the fan. In addition to opening the

safety isolating switch at the fan, the main isolating swit-

ch must also be opened and locked in the open position.

Guards

The fan conforms to the relevant Swedish industrial

safety regulations concerning guards.

Follow these or similar safety regulations when instal-

ling the fan. An open delivery outlet, for instance, must

be fitted with a protective screen.

For particulars of the installation for the actuators, the

control equipment and the maintenance of the fan, actu-

ators and control equipment, see the separate instructions

included in the supply.

General

The fan is available in two different versions as shown in

Figures 10 and 11.

Arrangement 1: The impeller is mounted directly on the

end of the motor shaft.

Arrangement 7: The impeller is mounted on the interme-

diate shaft, connected to the motor by

means of a flexible coupling.

The impeller is dynamically balanced. Before delivery the

control function and vibration levels, etc. are checked.

The fans can be supplied in two different versions, which

differ in terms of the blade pitch control system.

EULC, code suffix d = 2: Mechanically controlled fan

which can be equipped with an external, double-acting,

electro-mechanical actuator. The control mechanism of

the impeller is actuated by a linkage.

EULC, code suffix d = 1: Pneumatic, single-acting actua-

tor incorporated into the impeller. An increase in the

pressure signal to the actuator increases the blade angle

and thus increases the delivery air flow. The blade angle

is controlled by an externally mounted positioner.

Power supply to the motor

Connect the power supply cable directly to the terminal

box of the motor. In the case of an Arrangement 1 fan,

run the cables through an opening in the bottom part of

the guard, on the right-hand or left-hand side.

Connecting the positioner

(applies only to the EULC with pneumatic control)

Use a 6 mm o.d./4 mm i.d. plastic hose to connect the

positioner as shown in Fig. 12. For particulars of the con-

trol pressure, see the adjacent table. NOTE that only air

of instrument quality may be connected to the positioner.

Air of instrument quality contains particles no larger

than 10 mm and has a dew point of -20°C or below. The

position is preset at the factory so that the blade angle

will be a minimum at a signal pressure of 21 kPa (3 psi)

and a maximum at 105 kPa (15 psi).

Adjusting the positioner

1. Set the signal pressure at tapping A to 21 kPa (3 psi).

2. Adjust zeroing screw D so that when the blades are at

minimum angle, they will start to open at 21 kPa (3

psi) when the signal pressure is increasing.

3. Set the signal pressure at tapping A to 105 kPa (15

psi).

4. Adjust stroke factor screw E so that when the blades

are at maximum angle, they will start to close at 105

kPa (15 spi) when the signal pressure is falling.

Note the following when adjusting the positioner:

a) Follow the instructions in points 2 and 4 above when

the fan is running.

b) The distance between the stroke factor segment and

the stop pad must be 2 mm, measured with the blades

set to the minimum angle.

Caution: The segment must not come into contact

with the stop pad. The positioner may otherwise be

damaged.

c) The travel of the positioner feedback arm should be

symmetrical about the vertical line between the maxi-

mum and minimum angle settings.

d) The feedback cable must run correctly across the guide

pulleys.

Amplification and damping

The positioner includes adjusting screws for the amplifi-

cation and damping. The response of the positioner to a

certain change in signal pressure can be adjusted by

means of the amplification screw. The damping screw is

used to adjust the output pressure of the positioner and

thus the response speed of the actuator. The amplifica-

tion and damping are preset at the factory and need not

normally be adjusted. If adjustment is carried out, the

zero point and stroke factor must also be re-adjusted.

Functional check

Check the operation of the positioner as follows:

1. Disconnect the hose from tapping B shown in Fig 12.

2. Remove the positioner cover.

3. Check that control pressure is supplied to the posi-

tioner at tapping C.

4. Move the flapper between the nozzles in a downward

direction, and air should then flow from tapping B.

5. Move the flapper in the opposite direction, and the air

flow should then cease.

Inverted operation of the positioner

The positioner for the EULC, code suffix d = 1 is instal-

led so that it is direct-acting, i.e. an increase in signal

pressure to the positioner results in an increase in the

blade angle. However, if inverted action is required, the

positioner can be modified (see Fig, 13).

1. Remove the positioner with its bracket and air connec-

tions, and remove the cable.

2. Remove the torsion spring from the rear of the positio-

ner and replace it with spring FSAC-99-10-2.

3. Secure the positioner to the two holes located 250 mm

below the original mounting holes, and turn the posi-

tioner through 180°C so that the feedback arm points

upwards.

4. Fit the cable and air connection, and turn change-over

plate F to positon U.

5. Adjust as described on page 3, but ensure that the bla-

des close on an increase in signal pressure and open on

a fall in signal pressure.

Commissioning the fan

1. Lubricate the motor and shaft bearings before starting

the fan. Lubricate the shaft bearings through the

grease nipples on the fan stand. The quality and grade

of grease are specified on a plate at each lubrication

point. On Arrangement 1 fans, the grease nipples, if

any, for the motor are connected to external grease

nipples.

2. Avoid starting the fan against a closed damper or at a

high blade pitch setting.

3. On parallel operation of several fans under control of a

common main controller, check that the loading is

equally distributed, e.g. by comparing the motor cur-

rents. Carry out adjustment by means of the zeroing

screw and the stroke factor screw of the positioner.
