Trane Model Q ™ compact fan. The shaded area represents range of vaneaxials tested. Trane Model Q fans require up to 85 percent less cubic space than airfoil centrifugal fans and 40 percent less than common vaneaxials of equivalent installed sound level.

Variable Air Volume Compatible The Super Q fan is modulated for VAV with variable frequency drives (by others), not with inlet vanes. Variable speed inverter fan modulation offers exceptional energy saving and exceptionally quiet part load operation.

It provides proven acoustical performance with less design risk. In project after project, the Trane Model Q fan has been the key to creating NC 15 to NC 35 quiet comfort jobs. Beyond quiet, the Super Q II Plus system is small and compact.

Benefits The aerodynamically shaped inlet bell [2] and inlet cone [3] provide uniform axial flow parallel to the fan shaft. Air is delivered equally to the leading edge of the fan blades — no crowding toward the fan tips.

Because of its size and weight, it is floor mounted and connected to a return air plenum. In contrast, a 44-inch Model Q fan is used in Figure F-2 instead of a centrifugal fan. Its smaller size and lighter weight permits ceiling suspension and approximately 75 sq ft of floor space is freed up for other use.

Blow-Thru Supply Application Figure F-7 shows a typical medium pressure, built-up, blow-thru system. The fan, enclosed in a plenum, is a 33- inch, double width, airfoil centrifugal that delivers 30,000 cfm of air. The bulkiness of the plenum is dictated by the necessary clearances around the fan.

40 percent wocfm, whichever is greater. Forty percent wocfm is the minimum point a Q fan with inlet vanes can modulate, due to inherent instability that results when the vanes close to a certain angle.

Trane Q fans are designed to be used in any installation where a standard airfoil centrifugal fan can be used. The sound level of the Q fan in the difficult to attenuate lower frequencies is lower than that produced by standard airfoil centrifugal fans with the same capacity.
63 Hz 125 HZ 250 Hz 500 Hz *Approximate attenuations. Use the Trane Fan Selection Program for attenuation predictions that include silencer regenerated self-noise. NOTE: Super Q II not available with Class III fans. If inlet vane modulation was selected, increase the rpm by 1 percent and increase the bhp by 3 percent.
