Greenheck RBU Manual de usuario

Greenheck Model RBU, RBUMO and RDU fans are thoroughly inspected and test run at

the factory, however damage may occur during handling and shipping. Consequently, it

is important that the unit be carefully inspected for visible and concealed damage before

beginning installation. Report any damage to the shipper immediately. In

addition, assure all accessory items are accounted for.

INSTALLATION

LIFTING

Attach a suitable chain or strap to the four windband mounting brackets,

which are designed to be used as lifting lugs (Fig. 1). Do not lift the

fan by the motor, belt

tube, damper frame,

windband or

accessories.

Carefully lift the fan to

the roof curb and install

fasteners in all holes

provided in the unit

base. The windband

does not need to be

removed for the lifting

operation.

SERVICE ACCESS

MOTOR OUT OF AIRSTREAM

Model RBUMO simplifies inspection and servicing with the “motor out

of the airstream” design. A removable motor cover enables quick and

easy access to the motor, belt, and drives from the roof deck (Fig. 2).

Servicing of propeller and bearings can easily be accomplished by

removing the fan panel/windband assembly from the fan base.

REMOVABLE WINDBAND

By removing the bolts from the four windband mounting brackets, the

windband can be removed. With the windband removed, access to the

fan can be gained through the butterfly dampers. This service feature

applies to models RBU, RBUMO and RDU (Fig. 1).

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before electrical connections are made, the supply voltage, phase and ampere capacity must be checked for compatibility

with the fan motor. In addition, the supply wiring must be properly fused and conform to local and national electrical codes.

The supply wires are then connected to an optional safety disconnect switch (if supplied) or wired directly to the motor.

For belt drive units in Emergency Smoke Removal installations, the electrical supply must be kept out of the airstream.

They may also require an isolated power supply so that if power is cut to the building in the event of a fire, the fan will

continue to operate. Check the local and national electrical codes for emergency smoke removal fans.

** WARNING **

Disconnect and secure to the “off” position all electrical power to the fan prior to inspection or

service.

Caution must be used when working around the fusible link damper lifters. They may release

the dampers unexpectedly.

Models RBU, RBUMO and RDU may have fusible link damper lifters and all models RBUMO with

high temperature options have fusible link damper lifters under spring tension. RBUMO fans

UL listed as “Power ventilators for smoke control systems” in sizes 42, 48, 54 and 60 have

extra heavy duty fusible link damper lifters under high spring tension that, for safety reasons,

must be pinned to prevent accidental release. See Fig. 3 below for details on how to secure the

lifter arms.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY

RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!

WARNING !

These fans have extra heavy duty fusible link

damper lifters under very high spring tension

that must be pinned so they can not be

accidentally tripped when servicing the fan. The

fusible link damper lifters are located under the

butterfly damper blades. Fig. A, shows where the

safety pin MUST be placed when the fan is being

serviced. Fig. B, shows where the safety pin is placed

for storage when the fan is in service. Fan sizes 20,

24, 30 and 36 also have fusible link damper lifters, but

they do not have the ability to be pinned when

servicing due to differences in lifter designs. In either

case, extreme care must be taken when working

around the damper lifter assemblies or serious

bodily injury or death may result.

For Models RBUMO with high temperature option - UL Listed

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Once the fan has been put into operation, a periodic maintenance program should be set up to preserve the reliability

and performance of the fan. Items to be included in this program are:

• BELTS

• BEARINGS

• FASTENERS

• SET SCREWS

• LUBRICATION

• REMOVAL OF DUST/DIRT

Fig. 6

BELTS

Premature belt failures are frequently caused by improper belt tension

(either too tight or too loose) or misaligned pulleys. The proper tension for

operating a V-belt is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip at

peak load conditions. For initial tensioning, the proper belt deflection half

way between pulley centers is 1/64" for each inch of belt span. For

example, if the belt span is 64 inches, the belt deflection should be one

inch using moderate thumb pressure at midpoint of the drive (Fig. 5).

Check belt tension two times during the first 24 hours of operation and

periodically thereafter. To adjust belt tension, simply loosen four fasteners

(two on each side of the motor plate) and slide the motor plate away from

the fan shaft until proper belt tension is attained. On some fans, fasteners

attaching the motor to the motor plate must be loosened in order to adjust

the belt.

It is very important that the drive pulleys remain in proper alignment after

adjustments are made. Misalignment of pulleys will result in premature

belt wear, noise, vibration and power loss. See Fig. 6.

Airflow Airflow

Rotation Rotation

PRESTARTING CHECKS

Check all fasteners and set screws for tightness. This is especially important for

bearing set screws.

The propeller should rotate freely and not rub on the fan panel venturi. Rotation

direction of the propeller should be checked by momentarily turning the unit on.

Rotation should be in the same direction as the rotation decal affixed to the unit

or as shown in Fig. 4. For 3-phase installations, fan rotation can be reversed by simply

interchanging any two of the three electrical leads. For single phase installations

follow the wiring diagram located on the motor.

FOR BELT DRIVE FANS

The adjustable motor pulley is preset at the factory for the specified fan RPM. Fan

speed can be increased by closing or decreased by opening the adjustable pulley.

Two or three groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted an equal number of turns

open. Any increase in fan speed represents a substantial increase in horsepower

required from the motor. Always check motor load amperage and compare to name

plate rating when changing fan speed.

Fig. 4

BEARINGS (For belt drive fans only)

Bearings are the most critical moving part of the fan and should be inspected at periodic intervals. Locking collars

and set screws, in addition to fasteners attaching the bearings to the bearing plate, must be checked for tightness. In a

clean environment and temperatures above 32°F./below 200° F., fan shaft bearings with grease fittings

should be lubricated semi-annually using a high quality lithium based grease. If unusual environmental conditions exist

temperatures below 32°F./above 200°F., moisture or contaminants, more frequent lubrication is required.

With the unit running, add grease very slowly with a manual grease gun until a slight bead of grease forms at

the seal. Be careful not to unseat the seal by over lubricating or using excessive pressure. Bearings without grease fittings are

lubricated for life.

FASTENERS AND SET SCREWS

Any fan vibration has a tendency to loosen mechanical fasteners. A periodic inspection should include checking all

fasteners and set screws for tightness. Particular attention should be paid to set screws attaching the propeller to the

shaft and the shaft to the bearings. Loose bearing set screws will lead to premature failure of the fan shaft.

LUBRICATION

Refer to the paragraph on bearings for bearing lubrication. Many fractional horsepower motors installed on the smaller fans are

lubricated for life and require no further attention. Motors equipped with oil holes should be oiled in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions printed on the motor. Use a high grade SAE 20 machine oil and use caution not to over lubricate.

Motors supplied with grease fittings should be greased according to directions printed on the motor.

REMOVAL OF DUST AND DIRT

Dirt clogs cooling openings on the motor housing, contaminates bearing lubricant and collects on propeller blades

causing severe imbalance if left unchecked. The exterior surface of the motor, fan panel and entire propeller should be

thoroughly cleaned periodically. Use caution and do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or bearings. Under no

circumstances should motors or bearings be sprayed with steam or water.

DAMPER INSPECTION AND SERVICE

CAUTION: Butterfly dampers on units supplied with optional spring lifter bars are under spring tension and will open

forcefully if the fusible link is released. Butterfly dampers should be inspected for proper operation at each service interval.

Check for freedom of movement and general condition of the damper blades and hinge rods.
