SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The operation and maintenance of machinery of any kind requires a person to be cautions and aware of the damages that exist. In order to avoid injuries to personal and damage to machinery, the following precautions are very important. 1.

Never apply power to the fan motor for any reason until the fan has been completely installed in its system, and the system inspected to be sure that no debris has been left in the fan & ducts, and it is known that the inspection doors at the inlet and outlet of the air passages are shut. The usual procedure is to remove the fuses from the disconnect switch and open its safety isolation switch until the installation is completed and inspected.

2.

Start the fan momentarily and disconnect it. Observe rotation of the wheel or the drive rotation is correct. Do not allow the fan to run backward, except momentarily.

3.

Do not open or access inspection doors while the fan is running.

4.

Always open the disconnect switch and lock it in the open position with a padlock before doing any service or maintenance work on the fan.

5.

After service of any kind make certain that all adjustment have been properly made and tightened ,inspection doors closed, there is no debris in the air passages and all tools have been removed before unlocking the disconnect switch to place the fan in operation.

6.

Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings and coupling to be sure that corrosion has not set in to weaken them. Where there are signs of corrosion there is danger of mechanical failure. Corroded parts should be replaced.

7.

Always use caution in every maintenance or operational procedure.

CONDITION ON DELIVERY A. Transport : The fans are dispatched in dismantled condition with proper packing. Handle all fan parts with care. Use lifting lugs and good rigging techniques. Slings and timbers should never be passed through the casing and impeller in order to assist in rigging. Pay particular attention to rotor assembly consisting impeller, hub, shaft, bearing housings and bearings. Avoid any shocks that could damage the parts and their coatings or alter the impeller balance. If the impeller is damaged slightly, it will have to be repaired and balanced again.

B.

Check for Transportation Damages : When packages are received at site, check all parts with the help of the packing list and drawing. If necessary ,make a list of the missing parts ( in case of shortage) and initiate action for replacement, insurance etc. Check the condition of the parts that may have been damaged during transport. In case of damages, take steps to repair the damages in consultation with manufacturer

C.

Storage : General :As soon as received ,the different parts of the fan should be placed in clean and dry covered premises.

Long term storage

Storage for a period of more than three months must be ensured in the best possible condition, basically protected from dampness so as to avoid oxidisation of the different parts of the fan unit. The mechanical parts with machined surfaces are coated with anti-corrosion varnish. In the case of prolonged storage, before putting in to service, the equipment will be inspected periodically and the machined parts will be protected from time to time using protective coating in case of need. They will be stored in sufficiently large premises, thus providing space for inspection and easy maintenance of the equipment stored. Moreover , the storage premises will protect the equipment from sudden changes in temperature, dust, foreign matter, etc. The impeller and bearing assembly should be rotated at a very low speed ( rotation by hand) for about thirty minutes, once a week.

Storage of bearing As a general rule, the bearings are given a rust prevention treatment in the works before being packed. They can be preserved for several years, in their original packing , on a condition that the relative humidity in the storage premises is not over 60 % A higher degree of relative humidity, up to 75% is however permissible for short term storage.

1.

Ensure that the concrete foundation has been made at site as per general assembly drawing.

2. Check foundation for evenness, and its different levels. 3. Mark centre lines of fan and foundation pockets on the foundation. NOTE: REFER ENCLOSED GENERAL ASSEMBLY DRAWING. ♦

FOUNDATION BOLTS, FAN ON BASE FRAME: -

4. Place the foundation bolts in all foundation pockets as required and hook up with the common holding rods provided in the foundation. 5. Clean the threaded portion of the bolt. 6. Generally the concrete block foundation provided to support the fan unit should be at a level lower than the final installation level by about 50mm. This clearance allows correction of the civil engineering false level. It is therefore necessary to maintain the center of the fan and the level of installation. 7. Place the steel packers in between the foundation bolts to the required height. 8. Place the base frame on the packers and bolt together at four corners. 9. Fasten the foundation bolts with base frame. 10. Adjust the horizontal level of the base frame by adjusting steel packers by using dumpy level. The dimensions to be maintained as per the GA drawing. Check up the diagonal dimensions for assuring the squareness of the base frame. 11. Place the Fan on Base Frame ; ensure that the fastening bolts are tightened with taper washer.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR BEARING AND BEARING HOUSING The following procedure will be applicable rotor, loose bearings and bearing housings, if and when used.

1. PRE -ASSEMBLY CHECKING : As the bearings are finished to high precision, thorough inspection and checking on the following points are essential prior to assembly : a) On opening the packing of bearings, the same shall be thoroughly checked for dirt or other foreign matter and if found, same shall be carefully washed unless and until it is necessary. b) The shaft shall be checked for damage due to transport and handling. Particularly the surfaces where the bearings are to be mounted should be checked for rusting, scoring etc. Rust, if found, should be removed by rust remover. Heavy pitting on bearing surfaces of shaft is not acceptable. Localized scorings could be removed using oil stone. If the shaft is found to have a bend, the same should not be used for assembly. c) Bearing housings although made by precision machining to the given specifications, a thorough checking is essential to make sure against any defects in the bearing seating surfaces or dirt inclusion which can possibly result from handling, transportation etc. The flaw, if any, is to be carefully corrected with the use of an oil stone or fine emery paper and the dirt to be thoroughly washed off and cleaned. d) Bearing to be mounted shall be taken out of the original protective packing only immediately before mounting. e) The mounting and dismounting tools and necessary jigs must be of proper dimension and simple design so that they do not cause any mechanical damage to the bearings.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :With tapered bore: A bearing with tapered bore, which is seated direct on a shaft, or which is mounted with an adapter sleeve, ordinarily requires a somewhat tighter fit than a bearing with cylindrical bore. This fit is achieved by pressing on the inner ring by means of a nut or by driving in the sleeve. In both cases, the inner bearing is expanded and this results in a reduction of radial bearing clearance. If a double row self aligning ball bearing is mounted on an adapter sleeve, the sleeve nut might be tightened but not so much as to prevent the outer bearing from turning easily and it must be possible to swing the outer race easily from one side to the other side. Double row spherical roller bearings which are used mostly in heavy load applications are mounted with greater interference. The radial clearance is adapted to this fit and its reduction can be measured while mounting by means of a feeler gauge. For checking the correct fit of the inner ring, both the reduction of radial clearance and the distance of the inner ring is driven axially on the tapered seating or on the adapter sleeve and is measured. For solid shafts, the axial displacement is approximately fifteen times as large as the desired clearance reduction.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE a)

Keep the bottom half of bearing housings on the bearing pedestal.

b)

Clean the shaft with the use of white sprit.

c)

Insert the brass seal on to the shaft at impeller end.

d)

Insert the M.S cover plate on to the shaft at impeller end.

e)

Keep the rotor assembly in position but slightly elevated position on supports above the bearing housing bottom halves.

f)

Insert the double - lip seal on to the shaft at impeller end if applicable.

g)

Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft to the location with thread portion outside.

h)

Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper sleeve. (no locating ring for this bearing as this is free bearing).

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Page 12 of 41

UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003

i)

Keep the gap between bearing to bearing housing to accommodate the expansion of shaft as shown in our drawings.

j)

Tighten the lock nut on the taper sleeve. For tightening the nut, do not use steel chisel or rod but use either brass or copper rod for taking the force of hammer. The necessary tightness is achieved when the brass or copper rod flares at the load transfer end. Check for the clearance between roller and outer race as mentioned in SKF catalogue.

k)

Insert the another double-lip seal on to the shaft if applicable.

l)

Now start assembly of drive side (coupling side) bearing by inserting the double lip seal on to the shaft if applicable.

m)

Insert the lock nut and lock washer on to the shaft.

n)

Arrange the locating ring on one side or either side of bearing , as the case may be.

o)

Insert the bearing with large dia of bore facing outside.

p)

Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft.

q)

Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper sleeve.

r)

Tighten the lock nut as explained in point no.

s)

Now keep the lock washer teeth locked to the lock nut groove by bending.

t)

Insert the another seal on to the shaft.

u)

Rest the rotor on the bottom half of bearing housing.

v)

Lubricate the bearings with recommended grease from one side of the bearing with pressure, so that the grease comes at the other side of the bearing through roller gapes. Check that the bearing is greased uniformly on both sides all around. Fill the bottom half of the bearing housing with grease.

w)

Place the top half bearing housing without applying any grease. Check for free rotation of the rotor assembly.

x)

Tighten the parting off bolts to the correct tightness.

WITH CYLINDRICAL BORE: The force needed to mount a bearing increases rapidly with bearing size. Larger bearing can not easily be pressed on to a shaft or in to a housing because of the mounting force required. Therefore, the bearing or one bearing ring is heated before mounting. The temperature difference between the bearing and its seating depends on the magnitude of the interference fit and the bearing size. Normally a bearing temperature of 80 to 90ºC (175ºF to 195ºF).

ing to a temperature greater than 125°C(255 °F), however, because the material may change metallurgically and produce alternations in diameter or hardness. Local overheating must be avoided. When using a heating device, use a thermometer to check the bearing's temperature. Wear clean protective gloves when mounting a hot bearing. Lifting (hoisting) gear can facilitate mounting. Push the bearing along the shaft to its abutment and hold the bearing in position, pressing until a tight fit is obtained. SKF can supply heating tools, such as oil baths, induction heaters, heating cabinets and electric and electric plates with adjustable thermostat and cover, for all common mounting needs. When a bearing requires an interference fit in the housing, a moderate inctrease in the housing temperature, from 20 to 50°C (70 to 120°F) is normally sufficient, since the amount of interference is seldom large. A heater or oil bath can be used for the job.

Bearings with shields or seats should not be heated.

Lifting gear (housing) To facilitate future dismounting equip shafts with ducts and distribution grooves for pressurized oil SKF heaters are generally equipped with adjustable thermostats Nevertheless it is advisable to use a separate thermometer to check bearing temperature immediately before mounting. The thermometer is also useful during test runs and for monitoring bearings during operation

Use clean protective gloves to hold the hot bearing press it hard against the abutment face so that the inner ring fits snugly on the

A cabinet equipped wiyh an adjustable thermostat and a fan is a versatile tool suitable for many heating operations. Bearings of different sizes or a large number of bearings can e heated together in a cabinet. Small bearing housings can also be heated. Keep the cabinet clean to reduce the risk of bearing contamination. Bearings can also be stored hot, ready to mount. In addition to bearings, couplings, sleeves and other components can also be heated in a cabinet.

Oil baths ensure even heating. They also make it possible to heat and maintain a bearing at a certain temperature. Keep the oil in a clean bath to prevent bearing contamination.

Never place a bearing directly in contact with the sides

Bearing rings, or even complete bearings, can be suspended in an oil bath.

Ensure of grouting pocket positions in civil foundation are as per GA drg. Bolt the isolators with base frame . Insert the grouting bolts in mounting holes of isolators. Place the base frame in position and at it's required elevation , level it in X- Y axis ; provide temporary support under base frame . While positioning the base frame , ensure the grouting bolts are positioned at center in their respective pockets . Grout the isolator pockets Use non shrinkable cement . Remove temporary support only after curing is complete . The isolators are loaded now. Check level of shaft . If required , place shims between base frame and isolator .

Important point to be noted ! The main idea of providing vibration isolator is to avoid transmission of undue vibration from the equipment to the surrounding structure and not to reduce equipment vibration , in fact equipment vibration may be on higher side due to soft foundation and vibration value 10 mm/s ( Peak Value ) is acceptable for Fans. ! We do not normally recommend to use vibration isolator when fans are installed at ground level.

Lubrication interval and amount Grease For fans provided with spherical roller bearing, the bearings housing are fitted with grease nipples and are fitted with the correct amount of grease when requested. The lubrication intervals and the amount of grease necessary for relubrication The chart is based on a temperature of 70°C. For every 15°C increase in temperature the lubrication interval should be reduced to 50% of the value obtained from the chart. (Example : For a fan fitted with spherical roller bearings with the bearing bore diameter of 120mm and running at 1000RPM the relubrication interval will be 800 operating hours if the bearing's temperature does not exceed 70°C).

Oil

When inspecting the oil level of a bearing, check to ensure that the right type of oil is in use and that the oil level gauge's air vent is unobstructed. Take a small sample of the oil and compare it with fresh oil. If the sample look's cloudy, then it is mixed with water and should be replaced. Dark or thick oil is a sign of dirt or indicates that the oil has started to carbonize. Change the oil completely and, if possible, clean the bearing by flushing it with fresh oil . When changing the oil, be sure that you are using the same type of oil , and that you refill to the required level . A more reliable method for determining the oil condition is to analyze a sample . If the oil is contaminated it may be worthwhile to change the seals or consider filtration . Oil in oil bath circulation systems requires change only once each year, providing that the operating temperatures does not exceed 50 to 60 º C and the oil does not become contaminated . Change the oil four times each year for operating temperatures of 100 º C ; monthly for operating temperature of 100 º C.
