GENERAL
The centrifugal fan shall be designed and manufactured by Canada Fans Engineering to ensure smooth operation. Fan wheel shall be heavy gauge construction with a full back plate and inlet shroud model “XB” as shown in plans with all steel construction. Unless otherwise directed, fan arrangement, motor location, support base, rotation and discharge are as shown on the layout drawings. Fan size is defined as the OD in inches of the fan inlet.
PERFORMANCE
Canada Blower fan ratings shall be based on tests made in accordance with AMCA Standard 210. Air flow shall be actual volumetric flow at the fan inlet. Fan static pressure is defined as static pressure at fan outlet less total pressure at fan inlet. Standard inlet density is to be taken as 0.75 lb/ft3 with corrections for temperature, elevation, inlet static pressure, gas composition and humidity as defined in the schedule. Fans shall be selected to operate to the right of the peak static pressure at the given speed to ensure stable performance. Fan brake horsepower shall rise continuously over the entire range of flows for a given speed and shall be equal to or less than specified at the given flow and fan static pressure.
SOUND
Fan manufacturers shall provide sound power level ratings for fans tested and rated in accordance with AMCA Standards 300 and 301 ventilating.com fanblower.com highpressureblower.net industrialblowerfan.com industrialfanblower.net industrialfanblower.com pressureblower.net northernindustrialsupplycompany.com industrialpressureblower.com tenderall.com chicagoblowercanada.com cbblower.com buffaloblower.com buffalofan.com nis-co.com canadianblower.com olegsystems.com canadablower.com abbblower.com acmefan.net industrialblower.net fansandblowers.net americanblower.net barryfan.com cincinnatifan.net canadafans.com barryfan.net pennbarry.net pennfan.net tcffan.com. Sound power ratings shall be in decibels (reference 10-12 watts) in eight octave bands. Sound power levels will be corrected for installation by the specifying engineer...dBA or sound pressure levels only are not acceptable.
CONSTRUCTION
Fan / blower housings are to be heavy -- min. gauge per chart below, continuously welded construction with flanged and punched outlet. Housings with lock seams or spot welded construction are not acceptable.
| Fan Size | Class I (12 M) | Class II & III (15 &19M) | Class IV (22M) |
| 7-11 | 14 gauge (0.0747” or 1.89 mm) | 12 gauge | 10 gauge |
| 13-26 | 12 gauge (0.1046” or 2.66 mm) | 10 gauge | 7 gauge |
| 29-37 | 10 gauge (0.1345” or 3.43 mm) | 7 gauge | ¼” |
| 41-49 | 7 gauge (0.1875” or 4.76 mm) | ¼” | ¼” |
| 54-60 | -- | 3/8” | 3/8” |
BEARINGS (belt driven fans)
Bearings are to be heavy duty, grease lubricated, precision anti-friction, self-aligning pillow block design. Bearings shall be designed for a minimum L10 life per the chart below when rated at the fan's maximum cataloged operating speed.
| Class | I II III | IV |
| MIN. L10 Life | 30,000 40,000 100,000 | 400,000 |

SHAFT (belt driven fans)
Fan shafts are to be ASTM A-108 steel, grade 1040/1045, precision turned, ground and polished. Grade 1018 steel is not acceptable. The shaft's first critical speed shall be at least 143% of the fan's maximum operating speed.
PAINT
All fan surfaces are to be thoroughly prepared prior to painting using a combination of washing and hand and power tool cleaning as required in SSPC-SP-3. After cleaning, all surfaces are to be coated with a zinc rich oxide primer. Surfaces of bolted components not accessible after assembly shall be coated and allowed to dry prior to final assembly.
BALANCE & INSPECTION
All fans shall be precision balanced to ISO quality grade 2.5, report to be submitted with the maintenance manual. A final inspection by a qualified inspector prior to shipment is required to include: scope of supply confirmation, balance, welding, dimensions, bearings, duct and base connection points, paint finish and overall workmanship.
ACCESSORIES
Fan accessories shall be provided as called for in the plans and specifications. Standard accessories include:
Motor to be NEMA Design B 3/60/460-575V-1800 rpm, high efficiency TEFC 1.15 SF V-Belt Drives - Variable Speed/Constant Speed with min 1.5 SF Belt Guard or weather cover required Extended lubrication lines (nylon, copper or stainless steel) with fittings terminating in an accessible area.
