The use of the EXHAUSTO Chimney Fan is not restricted to any type of chimney, because the fan creates a negative pressure (below atmospheric) in the chimney.
Planning Ahead Important to note: Observe proper combustion air requirements. Provide a firm support system for the chimney fan. Determine the type of system involved. Observe proper safety measures are taken to assure system will shut down in case of insufficient draft in vent system.
2. Installing the Chimney Fan Transport Safety Device If a transport safety device is present, remove it from the vane and make sure that the vane can revolve without hindrance. RS 14/16: Before mounting, the transport safety device on the hinges must be removed. Single Fan on Steel Chimney Step 1: Prepare fan location If a stack cap is already installed, it must be removed.
Multiple Fans on Steel Chimney If two or more chimney fans are required to create sufficient draft, installation procedures are the same as for single fan installation on a steel chimney. The only difference is that the fans are sitting next to each other on the top of the chimney. When installing multiple fans, it is extremely important that the fans are of the same model and size.
Multiple Fans on a Brick Chimney If two or more fans are required to create sufficient draft, a special adapter plate is required. The adapter should be made of stainless steel (14 GA or thicker), depending on the size and the fan models used. The two holes in the plate should match the throat diameter of the fan model used and the distance from center to center should be at least equal to the fan width (dimension “B”...
3. Installing Safety Systems Installing Dwyer Pressure Switch Step 1: Select a location that is free from excessive vibration, corrosive atmosphere and where the ambient temperature is within the limits of the switch. The distance from the switch to the place where the probe is inserted in the pipe system should not exceed 5 feet.
Safety devices, such as a Pressure Differential Switch (fan proving switch) must be wired so they shut down all appliances connected to the chimney. Wiring diagrams can be found on the following pages. Power requirements for the system depends on the fan size. Electrical requirements are: RS 9 1 x 120 V/60Hz 0.4 Amps RS 12 1 x 120 V/60Hz 1.2 Amps...
Wiring diagram for solenoid operated gas valve with proven draft protection Sequence of Operation The chimney fan motor is in continuous operation. Continuous operation keeps the pressure switch, PS, in the closed position. The pressure switch, PS, activates the Solenoid Operated Gas Valve located between the Pilot Light and the Gas Valve.
5. System Start-Up System testing Before any adjustments are made to the system, follow these procedures: • Turn the chimney fan ON and make sure that it is operating. Increase and decrease the speed of the fan by adjusting the fan speed control to make sure it is operating properly. •...
