  • Page 17: Envisaged Use And Foreseeable Uses According To Experience, And Prohibited Uses

    Envisaged use and foreseeable uses according to experience, and prohibited uses The envisaged use for the fan with the name plate as shown in Fig. 2-3 is as follows: A commercial axial fan is a machine that serves to move a gaseous fluid inside a fluid movement system to which the fan is connected by means of ducts and technical chambers provided for this purpose.
  • Page 18: Life Cycle Of Fan

    In case of use in conditions of particularly difficult operation (medium, high), this limit must be reduced. Any such reduction must be assessed in collaboration with the KRUGER Technical Office. In the specific case of operation at variable speeds, the impeller life cycle must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and must also be agreed with the KRUGER Technical Office.

     Type D: Ducted Inlet, Ducted Outlet. Generally, KRUGER does not and cannot know which of the above installation types will be chosen and applied by the user, and unless otherwise specified by contract, the fan is supplied for installation types B, C or D according to the fan series and flow.
  • Page 20: Installation Type A: Instructions For Assembly, Installation And Connections

    CAUTION: It is advisable to adopt precautions that prevent access to the room containing the fan while it is operating, or to keep persons away with fixed protection net that maintain a safe distance from the inlet opening. WARNING: Check the efficiency of all protection net every month. In case of wear, damage or breakage, replace them immediately.

    In this case as well, there may be the risk of trapping or cutting injuries against fixed parts of the casing. 3.7.3 Environmental risks KRUGER fans are designed to operate in and to withstand ordinary conditions of working environments. The presence of:  Vibrations  Corrosive agents (dust, gas, fumes, mist)...
  • Page 25: Operating Speed Risks

     Cause slackening of tightening and fixing components (nuts and bolts)  Generate greater noise. KRUGER strongly recommends the use of a control and monitoring system for the fan, with continuous monitoring of vibrations and bearing temperatures. Depending on the specific application and use of the fan, it is advisable to define an "alarm threshold" for fan vibration levels and bearing operating temperatures.
  • Page 26 CAUTION: If no inverter is used for gradual starting of the fan, it is absolutely prohibited to use toothed pulleys, as these can cause irreversible damage to fan structures. Consult the KRUGER Technical Office. CAUTION: Conditions of overspeed can be caused by drive system faults on fans with direct transmissions.
  • Page 27: Noise Emission Risks

    Avoid positioning fans in areas that could increase the noise risk. The definition of the risks to workers of exposure to noise is not the responsibility of KRUGER, which limits itself to indications of values, levels of uncertainty, standards or criteria used for noise emission measurements.
  • Page 28: General Information On Noise Emission Data

    As envisaged by applicable legislation, it is the user that must assess the level of exposure of operatives to noise emissions using its own specific procedures, identifying:  Sources of noise and their relative importance  Average exposure times for each operative The level of direct and reflected noise ...
  • Page 29 The possible contribution to the overall noise level of the noise caused by the motor, the transmission system and any accessories that may be present is not considered. In addition, the value of background noise of the installation environment is not considered to be significant. The point at which maximum Sound pressure is found normally corresponds to the outlet duct (external to the ducting), and its value is 3–4% higher than the average value.
  • Page 30: Transport, Movement And Storage

    TRANSPORT, MOVEMENT AND STORAGE Lifting and movement operations with the fan may create hazardous situations for exposed persons. It is therefore advisable to follow the instructions provided by KRUGER and to use suitable equipment. Lifting and movement It is advisable to carry out all lifting and movement operations on the fan and its components with extreme care, avoiding impacts that may affect its correct operation or damage covered parts.
  • Page 31: Lifting Version 4 Axial Fans

    Every time that a sling is used, it must be inspected beforehand for possible damage or evident signs of wear. To connect the sling to the load, it is preferable to use the method with straight arms. In this case, the lower ends are connected directly to the attachment point.
  • Page 32: Lifting Fans Packed In Crate

    The lifting points for lifting the crate with a forklift truck are identified by two black triangles with the tip pointing downwards. KRUGER ensures the stability of the fan or of fan components inside the case by means of rigid connections linked directly to the packing, so as to prevent any possible sudden movements of crate contents.
  • Page 33: Storage

    The load must be lifted away from the support surface with a very slow initial movement, so as to be able to identify any potential oscillations of the load. If residual oscillations of a nature that could be a hazard for persons or things during transport of the load are present after lifting it away from the support surface, it is advisable to wait for these oscillations to stop before starting transport operations.
  • Page 34: Installation

    All assembly operations must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Generally, special or specific equipment is not necessary for the assembly of fan parts. In the case of assembly of parts requiring a specific procedure, KRUGER will provide the additional information necessary for carrying out the operations correctly.
  • Page 35: Minimum Installation Distances

    CAUTION: All installation operations must be carried out solely by qualified personnel, authorized and using suitable equipment. CAUTION: During installation, the conservation of the minimum access spaces requested for maintenance operations must be verified. CAUTION: The use of flow regulation devices connected directly to the fan inlet may generate unstable operation.

    Connection to ducts The fan must be connected to ducting with all parts correctly aligned, without obstructions to air flow from gaskets or flexible components. The weight of ducting must not be supported by the fan, and deformations of parts of the machine by ducting connections must be avoided. Any flexible joints between the fan and inlet and/or outlet ducts must be installed in a way that prevents stress on flexible components, and that avoids contacts between metallic parts of the joints (see fig.
  • Page 45: Checks To Be Made Before And After Starting

    If necessary invert the rotation direction (see Electrical connections). KRUGER recommends the use of the checklist given in paragraph 11.2 to record the necessary checks for safety conditions.
