Page 11: Risks Involved In Incorrect Handling Or Use
Depending on the applications that the client intends to use the fan for in the factory and on the type of installation chosen, the following safety shields must be fitted: • Type A installation: fixed shields at the intake and outlet. • Type B installation: shield fitted only at the outlet. • Type C installation: shield fitted only at the intake. • Type D installation: no shield at either the intake or outlet. The shielding must be constructed to impede access to the parts of the fan that could cause injury. It must be robustly built enough to stand the vibrations and stress caused by the machine and by environmental conditions.It must be securely fixed in position by devices that will not become loosened by vibrations and that cannot be removed without the use of tools. It is, in any case, the person installing the fan who is responsible for ensuring that adequate measures have been taken to prevent accidental contact with the fan’s moving parts. The installer and the user must also take into account other types of risks present, in particular those caused by foreign matter entering the fan and the aspiration of explosive, inflammable or toxic gases at high temperatures. The user must also bear in mind the risks inherent in maintenance work, which must always be carried out in conditions of the utmost safety, with the fan separated from the motor or isolated using suitable equipment. Once the installer and/or user has decided which installation type is to be used and all the above procedures have been applied, the machine can now be considered a “complete machine” as described by machine use regulations. An overall risk evaluation must be made. Risks involved in incorrect handling or use • Never, for any reason whatsoever, disable, remove, modify or render inoperative in any other way any of the safety, protective or control devices of any single component or of the fan itself. •... -

Page 16: Installation
See Figure 2. Installation See Figure 3 Delivery check If there are any damaged or missing parts when the product is delivered, notify the carrier and the local Nederman representative immediately. General information 4.2.1 Fan orientation NCF fans can be built in 14 different orientations. The orientation of a fan is expressed as seen from the transmission side. See Figure 4. 4.2.2 Standard fan outlet position for NCF fans The standard NCF fans are delivered as RD0, shown in Figure 5. Other positions can be delivered on request. Please contact your AB Ph. Nederman & Co representative for assistance. Transport and installation 4.3.1 Transport and lifting Lifting and handling the fan may create hazards for any persons in the vicinity; it is therefore important to follow the indications given by AB Ph. Nederman & Co and to use suitable equipment. All operations involving the lifting and handling of the fan must be carried out with the utmost caution, avoiding any knocks that could compromise the functionality or damage the fan components. Use only the specific lifting points on the fan and ensure that the fan’s weight is distributed evenly. -
Page 17: Storage In A Warehouse
It is absolutely forbidden to: • Carry out any maintenance work without first ensuring that the fan rotor is effectively stationary. • Start any maintenance work on the fan (including lubrication) without first disconnecting the fan from the main power supply. • Clean the fan while it is running. • Open any shield or inspection hatch while the fan is running. We recommend that you periodically check that the fan is in a good condition and turn the fan rotor manually approximately once a month to prevent the deformation of its bearings. WARNING! The examples given are generic examples as it is impossible to know in advance every possible configuration for lifting a NCF fan. 4.3.3 Lifting NCF fans NCF fans are equipped with a motor. When lifting these fans, as well as using the specific holes in fan structure, the eyebolt for lifting the motor must also be used (as shown in Figure 6). Installation The fan does not require the preparation of a special machine bed for its installation. A well-leveled concrete surface that can support the weight of the fan is sufficient. NOTE! Always use anti-vibration supports and couplings to prevent the transmission of vibrations while the fan is running. The support base must be perfectly level and flat to prevent torsion effects or misalignment of the supports: if necessary, install metal shims between the machine base and the concrete surface to ensure a perfect fit. Use the factory- fitted anchoring points and take care not to deform the fan structure while tightening bolts. All connecting tubing must be supported separately and must be axially aligned with the fan’s intake and outlet nozzles, to prevent any deformation occurring while tightening the bolts. WARNING! All installation work must only be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel using suitable equipment. -
Page 18: Minimum Distances Between Components
4.4.1 Minimum distances between components If the available space permits, in installations where the intake is connected to a pipe, we recommend fitting a straight length of pipe with a length approximately 2.5 times the diameter of the fan rotor, to guarantee correct air flow into the intake. See Figure 7. With installations with an open air intake, we recommend leaving a distance equal to approximately 1.5 times the diameter of the fan rotor between the fan intake and the nearest wall or machine. See Figure 8. 4.4.2 Connections to pipes Connections between the fan and pipes must be made ensuring that all components are correctly aligned and that there are no obstructions in the tubing caused by gaskets or flexible parts. The weight of the tubing must not be supported by the fan and care must be taken not to deform any part of the fan during tightening of the connections to the pipes. NOTE! We do NOT recommend installations with an open air intake. 4.4.3 Electrical connections The fan’s power supply line must have a sufficiently high power rating. Connection to the main power grid must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Also, the client is responsible for the entire electrical system up to motor terminal board. We remind you of the importance of installing a safe connection to earth for the fan. The earth connection system must comply with legislation in effect in the country of installation and must be periodically checked by qualified personnel. Make the connection to earth before any other connection. Check that the connection layout is suited to the mains power voltage. Usually, standard electric motors can run in both directions indifferently. To invert the direction of rotation, simply swap over any two power cables directly on the terminal board. The client must also install an electrical disconnecting device near the fan so that maintenance personnel can have direct control over the power supply to the fan. -
Page 19: Checks To Be Made Before And After Starting
Section 4.4.3. Electrical connections). You may now start the fan. With centrifugal fans, close off the air intake partially to reduce the power peak at start-up and the motor starting time. 4.5.2 Checks to be carried out with the fan running Check that the power absorption does not exceed the value indicated on the motor identification plate, if it does; stop the fan immediately and contact the manufacturer. The fan must run without excessive vibration and noise. Check, with the fan at rest and at an outside air temperature of 20°C, that the bearings do not exceed the maximum operating temperature (maximum bearing temperature 70°C). During the first few hours of operation, it is normal for the bearings to reach slightly higher temperatures, as long as they later stabilise at a lower value. In the event of overheating of the bearings, contact the Nederman technical assistance department. After 3 - 4 operating hours, with the fan at rest and disconnected from the power supply, check again that all bolts are correctly tightened, the bearing temperature.
