HEALTH & SAFETY


2.1 General
Howden Uk centrifugal fan units have been designed and constructed so as to be safe when
properly used, installed, operated and maintained.
For safety, the installation, operation and maintenance must conform to the instructions in this
manual, and all work must be carried out by responsible and suitably trained personnel.
2.2 Access and Guards
While the fan is running it is dangerous to remove or open access doors, shaft guards, or belt
guards or to remove any section of the fan or casing.
Fans which are supplied as Bare Shaft units i.e. without motors, belts, pulleys or couplings, must
be guarded to the appropriate standard before start-up.
2.3 Erosion and / or Corrosion
In certain circumstances fans may be subject to metal removal due to the erosive or corrosive
action of the fluid being handled. The fan rotating assembly must be regularly inspected, at
intervals dictated by plant operational experience, to ensure that the equipment remains in a
safe operating conditions (but not greater than six monthly intervals).
In addition to the inspection for component wear, an additional visual check should cover all
welds. If cracking appears or is suspected, detailed NDT of all impeller welds should be
undertaken immediately. If cracking is confirmed the wheel should be removed from service
and be repaired or replaced.
Should any doubts arise regarding the integrity (and hence safe running) of the rotating
assembly as a result of these routine checks then Howden UK Ltd should be consulted before
re-starting of the Plant.
It should be noted that erosion, corrosion or accumulation of dirt can create dynamic impeller
imbalance and hence affect the safe running of the fan. Regular balance checks (at least twice
a year) should therefore be made as operating experience dictates.
2.4 Installation
Equipment which is properly installed mechanically and electrically will be safe.
Fans should be isolated from receiving or emitting vibrations, by the use of ductwork flexible
connections and anti-vibration mountings, as far as is possible.
On hot application fans it is normal industrial practice for some form of personnel protection and
/ or warnings to be designed and fitted by others at site.

Howden UK Ltd.

2.5 Access for Maintenance and Inspection


In order that maximum reliability be maintained it is the policy of Howden UK Ltd to locate
grease nipples, lubrication points, level gauges, sight glasses and junction boxes as close to the
parent part as practicable.
Access or inspection openings on fans are located at a level where access can readily be
gained, as far as is practicable. In the few instances where the fan's location makes this
impossible, it is the responsibility of the user or customer to provide access facilities which
comply in full with the requirements of any Health & Safety at work legislation.
2.6 Electrical Equipment
All power supplies must be completely isolated and the fan rotating components must be
stationary before inspection of any electrical equipment supplied with the fan.
2.7 Operation
The fan must only be operated under the conditions for which it has been designed. Particular
regard should be made to volume flow rates, pressures, temperatures, noise and vibration
levels.
Bearing temperatures must not exceed 90oC (unless specifically agreed with Howden UK Ltd).
If the fan vibration severity measured at the horizontal centreline of the bearing increases above
the trip values shown in section 6.3 then the fan must be stopped and the cause investigated.
Since fans are supplied as single units is the responsibility of system supplier and / or the end
user to ensure that noise levels do not exceed current Health and Safety regulations. This may
require the use of suitable silencing equipment.
Howden UK Ltd accept no responsibility for dangerous conditions arising from the application of
the equipment to handle noxious, toxic or explosive gases. It is the user's responsibility, under
any Health and Safety legislation, to ensure the safety of his installation in these respects,
during running, operating and maintenance.

PRESERVATION & STORAGE


3.1 Preparation for Storage of Centrifugal Fans
When fans are to be stored or installed for a length of time before running, special care should
be taken. This section details procedures that should be followed at all stages of the storage
period.
Associated accessories may be supplied strapped to the fan, or be supplied loose.
Before putting a fan into storage :

Visually inspect each piece of equipment for outward signs of damage and record any
evidence of possible damage. You may wish to photograph any evidence of damage.

You should check the motor winding insulation resistance and record the noted values.
Care must be taken not to subject thermistors (where fitted) to high test voltages.

Equipment should be stored in a dry, non-corrosive clean environment at a constant


temperature of between 10oC and 20oC with relative humidity of no more that 65%.

Bolt plywood covers to flanges. On the impeller end cover ensure that a cover for a
handhole is provided to allow periodic rotation of the fan.

Carefully position each unit in its clean, dry store. Ensure units are placed well away
from vehicular traffic.

3.2 Long Term Storage (Greater than 1 week)


The following points should be observed when storing a fan for a prolonged period prior to
commissioning and normal running. Following these guidelines will help to achieve the most
efficient, dependable performance from your fan, whether it is already installed or not.

Store the fans in a dry, non-corrosive, clean environment at a constant temperature of


between 10oC and 20oC with RH of not greater than 65%, wherever possible. Fans
already installed out of doors should be covered by adequately ventilated sheeting.

Wooden blanking plates should be bolted to the fan inlet and discharge flanges to
prevent dust and dirt from getting inside.

Slowly turn all rotating parts at regular monthly intervals. This will re-distribute the
lubricants and help prevent brinelling . The impellers must finish at 180o to their former
position. Ensure that the cover is put back on correctly.

Any anti-condensation heaters fitted should be cabled, energised and checked once a
week.

Don't leave fans stationary next to rotating or vibrating machinery for any length of time. It will
cause brinelling of both the fan and the radial vane control bearings and could cause serious
damage to the fan shaft.

Howden UK Ltd.

If fitted, radial inlet vane controls should be modulated several times from fully shut to fully open
to fully shut again, at least once a month. This will help to eliminate possible premature bearing
failure occurring in the future. It is caused by allowing the bearings to settle in one place.
Lightly grease the radial inlet vane control (if one is fitted) operating ring and rollers at least once
every six months, to prevent corrosion in a dirty and / or wet environment. At this time the vane
control turn buckle threads should also be lightly oiled to prevent any unnecessary future
seizure.

Store flexible connections (such as the fan inlet and outlet flexible duct couplings), antivibration mounts and any other loose items supplied with the fans, separately in a
lockable area, complete with their respective packing.

Ensure that the electrical motor manufacturer's recommendations are constantly


referenced and acted upon throughout the storage period (such details will be found in
the motor manufacturer's Maintenance Instructions.

Plugs must be fitted to openings in the motor and fan terminal box. Check that all cover
plates are properly attached. Grease nipples should be protected with plastic tape.

Any damaged paintwork or exposed steelwork should be repaired immediately in


accordance with the paint system.

All unprotected threads, spindles and fasteners must be lightly coated with a nonhardening rust preventative substance.

Note: Having stored equipment for long periods it is strongly recommended that a check is
made by one of our Service Engineers prior to installation / commissioning of the fan.
3.3 Short Term Storage (Up to 1 week)

Where not specifically designed for outdoor use, fans should be protected against the
elements. Special attention should be paid to bearings, motors and rotating parts.

Rotating parts should be turned at regular intervals to redistribute the lubricant and help
prevent damage to bearings. Make sure that the impeller finishes at 180o to its former
position.

Don't leave fans stationary next to rotating or vibrating machinery for any length of time.
It will cause brinelling of the bearings and can seriously damage the shaft.

Fans should always be protected from damp, corrosive atmospheres.

3.4 Removal from Storage


Visually inspect for signs of damage and repair or replace as required. In the event of damage
to any rotating components Howden UK Ltd should be notified immediately.
Note: It is strongly recommended that the following steps are carried out by a Howden UK Ltd
Service Engineer.

Howden UK Ltd.

In General :
When fans have been in long-term storage, the bearings should be stripped, cleaned and
regreased.
Check clearances as follows:
Blades to housing
Casing seal to shaft (where fitted)
Inlet cones to impeller

Check the alignment of the fan bearings / motor coupling.

Ensure that cables to energise motor-anti condensation heaters are available, where
applicable.

Check that all debris is removed from the inside of the fan casing.

Check the alignment and level of any fitted anti vibration mounts.

Rotate the impeller by hand (if possible) and listen for bearing roughness.

Check motor windings with an insulation tester. Do not subject thermistors (where fitted)
to high voltage.

The dynamic balance of the impeller should be checked, if the fan has been stored for a
long period of time.

Howden UK Ltd.

INSTALLATION
4.1 Receipt and Offloading
Check all items against packing note and for mechanical damage. If any items are damaged or
missing then this must be pointed out to Howden UK Ltd immediately.
4.2 Base Preparation
A rigid, level foundation or support structure is vital for smooth, trouble-free operation.
It is essential that the fan mounting points are in the same horizontal plane, as any misalignment
may cause distortion of the fan baseframe.
4.3 Foundations
Reinforced concrete is recommended as the best type of foundation for our equipment.
The minimum weight of concrete should be about four time the combined weight of all rotating
parts or twice the dead weight of the whole unit, whichever is greater.
Substantial steel supports can be used, but must be well braced in all directions. A rigid level
foundation is vital for smooth, troublefree, quiet operation and the minimum natural frequency of
any part of the structure must be 50% higher than the greatest running speed of our equipment.
Checks
Before the fan is erected the foundations should always be checked to the specific fan
arrangement drawings as follows:
Concrete foundations
Check the height and ensure that there is the required grouting allowance between the
foundations and the fan base.
Check the location of the holding down bolt pockets.
The location of the plinths should be checked against the fan layout drawing.
Use steel packers to obtain the correct height of the fan. The packers should be approximately
the same width as the baseplate or pedestal flange and be placed close to the holding down
bolts.
Supporting Steelwork
Steelwork levels should be checked (this includes the holes in the various beams). The
steelwork should be level and rigid. All bolts should be tight. Welded supporting structures are
preferable.

Howden UK Ltd.

Experience has proved that bolted structures are less satisfactory than those that are riveted
and can be an inherent cause of vibration. If the structure is bolted, holes should be reamed
and fitted bolts with locking washers used. Fans can be fitted with anti-vibration mountings.
4.4 Fan Unit
The fan units have been fully assembled and tested in our works. To allow access to the final
location the fans have been stripped down as follows:

Top half of the fan casing removed.


The inlet cone removed
The impeller complete with shaft and bearing races
Bottom half casing removed from the pedestal.
The pedestal base frame with the motor attached
Box containing fasteners, joint tape, fan casing shaft seals, and coupling tyres.

Identify all parts for each fan and move to an area adjacent to their foundations.
Lift bottom half fan casing into position.
Check inlet and discharge centrelines are aligned with duct work connections.
Lift pedestal and base frame section into position.
Align 6mm dowel holes at connection flanges, fit all bolts and tighten.
Using packers level the pedestal. Use machined surfaces at bearing as a datum.
Ensure any packing required to level the fan is fitted at both sides of the holding down bolts.
Torque holding down bolt and check level. Re-pack if required.
Remove impeller and shaft from packaging.
Remove all transport grease from bearing races.
Sling the impeller and shaft assembly so the shaft is horizontal. Note nylon webbing slings are
required.
Care must be taken to ensure the bearing races are not damaged during lifting.
Remove the caps from the bearing housings and lower the fan shaft into position taking great
care not to damage the bearing races or housing.
Check bearing seals are correctly located in the housing and havent been displaced during
shaft fitting.
Re-pack bearing races with grease as per GA drawings.
Fit bearing caps.
Fit top half casing. The flange joints have been dowelled during factory assembly. Align the
dowels and then fit all fasteners.
Remove inlet cone assembly from packaging.
Check and align dowel holes in the fan casing. Fit and tighten all fasteners.
Check cone penetration and radial clearances against GA drawing.
Fit and align coupling as per tolerances in GA drawing.
Connecting ductwork can only be tightened to a fan unit once it has been fully assembled and
bolted down securely.

Howden UK Ltd.

On no account should the fan casing support the weight of connecting ductwork, or be subject to
thermal or dynamic loads from ductwork. It is recommended that expansion joints be fitted
between inlet and discharge flanges and connecting ductwork.
Inferior concrete foundations or grouting can be inherent cause of fan vibration. The only
satisfactory solution is to renew concrete or grouting with a stronger mixture of good quality
material (see section 4.3 for fuller details).
Make sure that the plinth is feathered into the concrete floor or supporting steelwork.
Where concrete foundations are used it is recommended that tapered bolt pockets are used for
the fasteners between the baseframe and the support block.
4.5 Flexible Connections
On smaller units, the flexible connections are assembled in the factory. On larger units, the
connections will require fitting to the fan by the client.
Care should be taken not to stretch the flexible connections beyond the nominal length stated on
the fan G.A. drawing in this manual.

5.2 Start-Up Programme

Howden UK Ltd.

COMMISSIONING
5.1 Pre-commissioning
Before starting any fan for the first time (or after overhaul) check that all tools and other loose
objects have been removed from inside the fan casing, the duct and from the vicinity of the
moving parts.
You must also:

Check that the impeller is free to rotate.

Check the rotation of the driving motor

Check that all shaft and drive guards are correctly fitted.

Make sure that all bearings are filled to the correct levels with the correct lubricant (as
recommended on the fan G.A. drawing in this manual and as described in Section 8.

Make sure that the drive coupling is correctly aligned as described in section 7.6.

5.2 Start-Up
Having carried out all of the checks in section 5.1 you are now ready to start the fan.
Starting Procedure
Starting procedure varies with the type of electrical control equipment supplied. Instructions are
usually clearly marked on the control equipment or refer to the respective manual.
On Starting
Check that no rubbing noise is occurring. If there is, then stop the unit immediately and set
about rectifying it.
For the first half hour:
Allow the equipment to run for half an hour and check periodically for noise, vibration and
overheating. If any of these is present then the equipment should be stopped immediately and
not restarted until the fault has been located and rectified. See section 9 for a fault finding
guide.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Operating Parameters
The equipment supplied must only be operated at the duties specified on the fan G.A. drawing in
this manual.
Operation outwith these limits will jeopardise safety and integrity.
Key operational parameters are :

Volume flow rate

Pressure rise across the fan

Inlet Temperature of air / gas

Density of fluid being handled

Corrosive / erosive limits of fluid being handled

6.2 Checklist
For the safe operation of the plant, checks must be made at the intervals specified in section
7.1.
The fan bearing temperatures should be checked daily, where access makes this practical.
The fan vibration levels should be checked daily, where practicable.
The fan bearing lubrication should, where applicable, be checked in accordance with the
directions given in the fan G.A. drawing.
The impellers and shafts on standby and emergency fans should be rotated once a week, to
prevent brinelling.
The motor bearings should be checked with special attention given to their lubrication. The
motor manufacturer will specify how often checks should be carried out.
Drive alignment should be check once each month.
The impeller should be inspected for wear and deterioration and cleaned as required, especially
when the fan is in an erosive, corrosive or dusty environment. Operating experience will
indicate how often such checks are necessary.
The impeller must certainly by checked at least every 6 months, irrespective of its environment.
At the same time make sure that the fasteners are tight.
The fan should be stripped down, examined and relubricated once a year. Its fan and motor
bearings should be replaced where necessary.

Howden UK Ltd.

The fan casing and other static parts should be visually examined for wear or paint deterioration
once a year.

7.2 Cleaning
Note : Before maintenance work of any kind is carried out, the drive motor must be isolated and
the impeller stationary.
Cleaning
Cleaning of impellers is dependent on the fan composition and fan duty. However,
recommended methods are :
a) Water washing
b) Steam Cleaning
c) Shot blasting
Take great care not to reduce the material thickness of any part of the impeller. If you are in any
doubt after cleaning the impeller, contact Howden UK Ltd immediately.

Howden UK Ltd.

The build up of dust and dirt on the impellers causes out of balance, resulting in high levels of
vibration at the bearings. It is therefore vital that the impellers are regularly cleaned, to protect
the long term integrity of the rotating components.
7.3 Bearing Temperatures
Position a thermocouple in each bearing block, as close to the bearing outer race as possible.
Monitor the bearing temperature, recording the temperature at intervals until stable and also the
time taken to reach that stable level (stable bearing temperature should normally be reached
within an hour of start up). The maximum recorded temperature should not exceed 90oC
unless specifically agreed by Howden UK Ltd. You should also record the ambient
temperature as part of this maintenance procedure. If temporary thermocouples are used, they
should be removed after the test has been carried out.
7.4 Vibration Levels
Vibration will be affected by the security of the fan mounting and the integrity of the foundations,
as well as the balance condition of the fan impeller rotor assembly. Under normal running
conditions the fan should operate within the start-up range as shown in section 6.3.
The vibration severity level of the commissioned fan should be at or below the Normal level.
As operation of the fan increases with time, it is expected that the vibration will increase due to
wear and other accumulated effects. In general, an increase in vibration is reasonable and safe
as long as the level does not reach alarm. The usual cause, found by analysis, is generally out
of balance.
If the vibration severity level increases to the alarm level, vibration analysis should be initiated
immediately to determine the cause of the increase and action taken to correct it. Operation at
this condition should be carefully monitored and limited to the time required to develop a
programme for correcting the cause of the increased vibration.
If the vibration severity level increases to the shut down level, corrective action should be taken
immediately or the fan should be shut down. Failure to reduce the shut down level vibration to
the acceptable recommended level could lead to bearing failure, cracking of rotor parts and fan
housing structural welds, and ultimately, a catastrophic failure.
Note : A stall condition occurs when the fan operates on the unstable region of its pressure
volume characteristic curve and hence away from its selected operating point. Prolonged
operation in stall must be avoided as this will lead to premature failure of the rotating equipment.

Howden UK Ltd.

7.5 Bearing Lubrication


Fan bearings are lubricated from the grease adapters located on the bearing housing or the
outside of the fan casing. Regreasing should be carried out with the correct type and quantity of
grease at the intervals stated in the fan G.A. drawing in this manual. These are based on the air
temperatures stated in the fan G.A. drawing. Use new Shell Calithia EPT2 in all fan bearings
unless otherwise stated on the G.A. drawing.
For high temperature centrifugal fans, Darina R2 or Stamina U2 is used, both having a higher
temperature range the Calithia EPT2.
The re-lubrication period varies and is dependent on running speed and temperature (the
bearing temperatures should be checked daily where access makes this possible).
At least once a year, the bearing assembly must be stripped (see section 8.6) and thoroughly
clean both the races and the housings and repack with the recommended fresh grease. For
plummer block bearing assemblies the free space in the housing should only be partly filled with
grease (30 - 50% full) as overfilling causes rapid temperature rises due to churning and
damaged seals. Overfilling with grease can result in premature failure.

Howden UK Ltd.

7.6 Coupling
Shaft and Coupling Alignment
Refer to the drawing "Shaft and Coupling Alignment" at the end of this section.
Accurate alignment of the driving and driven shafts is extremely important. Coupling
misalignment causes vibration resulting in damage to the drive train components. Shaft
alignment can be achieved using special coupling alignment equipment and must be carried out
before fitting your flexible coupling. This procedure will then leave the coupling to cater for the
inevitable misalignment that will occur due to bearing wear and thermal expansion.
The alignment equipment is suitable for distances between shaft ends (DBSE) of up to 9 inches.
Measuring beyond this limit will cause wrong readings due to sag, and result in an inaccurate
alignment. Brackets and rods should be designed for distances greater than 9 inches. The
coupling alignment tolerance is shown on the fan G.A. drawing in this manual.
Procedure
Assemble the clocks and rods in accordance with Figure A on the drawing.
Mount the clocks in the middle of the hub flanges, positioning them at the end and setting them
to zero. Rotate the hubs to ensure that the rods are clear of the arms and that the clocks are
reading at the bottom position. Checks for bad plate twist by tightening and releasing each
motor foot in turn. Shim the motor feet until the clocks show an equal reading, thus indicating
that the feet are level.
It is important to start with the motor central to the bearing hub. Use the clock secured to the fan
shaft hub to obtain the side readings from the motor hub. Adjust the position of the motor until
these side readings are equal, as shown in Fig 1 on the drawing. Once you are satisfied that
the readings are equal firmly tighten down the motor.
Position the clocks at the top and set them to zero then rotate both hubs together through 180o.
Record the total indicator reading (TIR) for each clock. The example in Fig 2 shows a fan shaft
hub reading of 0.056 inches and a motor hub reading of + 0.042 inches.
As shown in Fig 3 measure the distance between the clock anvils (this distance is called 'C').
Measure the distances from the clock anvil on the driven hub to the centre of the bolt heads on
the motor feet (shown as F1 and F2 on Fig 3).
The measurements C F1 and F2 should then be plotted on scale A of the coupling alignment
record graph. A vertical line should then be drawn down from these points.
Note that Scale A is graduated in inches. For bed plates longer than 25 inches, it will be
necessary to extend the graph by multiplying the scale by a suitable factor. Scale B is
graduated in 0.001 inch and remains constant.

Howden UK Ltd.

Halve the reading from the fan shaft hub clock and plot this value on Scale B of the graph.
Minus readings for the fan shaft hub are plotted below the zeros line, plus reading above the
line. e.g. A clock reading of -0.056 inches TIR would be plotted as 0.028 below the centre line.
Plot on the C-line of the motor hub reading. Plus readings are plotted below the centre line and
minus readings above the line. e.g. Motor hub reading of 0.042 inches TIR would be plotted as
0.021 on line C below the centre line.
Draw a line from the fan shaft hub value (0.028 in our example) on scale B, through the motor
value (example of 0.021) on the vertical line C and project this line through the second and third
vertical lines (the F1 and F2 lines).
The correction required to level the motor feet is the distance measured from the point where
the line crosses lines GF1 (and then F2) to the zero line. e.g. front foot, F1, requires +0.015
inches correction and back foot, F2, requires +0.005 inches correction.
Correct the horizontal alignment of the motor by taking side readings on the hubs, with both
clocks and tighten moving the motor to a position where the clocks show the motor to be central.
Side jacking bolts make this movement comparatively easy (their addition to the motor bed
plates is recommended).
Confirm the DBSE value against the coupling specification and secure the fixing bolts.

8.2 Impeller / Inlet Cone Adjustment


The inlet cone is manufactured from steel specially designed to suit the fan. The method used
to connect the inlet cone to the fan casing is show below. Studying the drawing 'General
Assembly : Centrifugal Fans' at the end of this section will clarify the instructions.
Note : The above adjustments are not necessary unless the inlet cone has been removed from
the fan or settlement has occurred during commissioning, as both radial and axial clearances
are set in our works prior to despatch. For details regarding cone setting dimensions, refer to
the fan G.A. drawing in this manual.
Radial Clearances A & B
Radial adjustment of the impeller / inlet cone clearance is achieved by slackening the setscrews
or bolts that hold the support plate) (also called the cone fixing ring) to the casing). Move the
ring as required and then re-tighten the bolts. Note that the casing has oversized clearance
holes to accommodate variation in support plate position.
Inlet Cone Penetration C
Adjustment of the impeller / inlet cone axial penetration can be achieved by relocating the shaft
relative to the bearings, or by inserting packing between the support plate) and the fan casing .
8.3 Motor
The externally mounted motors on intermediate coupled fans simplify maintenance. Consult the
motor manufacturer's instructions for full maintenance details.

8.4.1 Strip Down and Removal of Motor


In general this only involves releasing the motor fixing bolts and removing the motor from its
mounting platform.
8.4.2 Reassembly
Fit the new motor to the motor mounting plate by inserting four bolts through the motor feet.
8.4 Bearings
Self-Aligning Ball-Bearings
Please refer to the drawing "Self-aligning Ball-Bearing Assembly" in this section of the manual.
Mounting Sequence
Figure 1 - Wipe the preservative from the sleeve and bearing bores, then lightly oil the sleeve's
outer surface, using thin mineral oil.
Figure 2 - Smear molybdenum disulphide paste (or similar lubricant) onto the thread and also
the side face of the nut which will abut the bearing.
Figure 3 - Open the sleeve slightly and slide it into the correct position on the shaft.
Figure 4 - This figure shown the nut, the bearing and the sleeve fitted to the shaft. Place the
bearing on the sleeve and screw on the nut, with the nut chamfer toward the bearing. Tighten
the nut just enough to ensure that the bearing and shaft make contact with the sleeve, but do
not tighten and drive the bearing further up the sleeve.
Figure 5 - (Top illustration) Turn the nut with a hook spanner.
(Lower illustration) To achieve the right fit, turn the nut (pushing the bearing on to the sleeve).
As the bearing has a tendency to skew when being pressed up, it is advisable to reposition the
hook spanner in a slot of 180o to the one used for tightening. Tighten a few more degrees by
lightly tapping on the spanner with a hammer. The bearing will then straighten up on its seating.
Figure 6 - For a self-aligning bearing with normal clearance, the drive-up is correct when the
outer ring rotates easily but resists swivelling.
The nut may now be removed. Place the locking washer in position and then firmly tighten the
nut again, while making sure that the bearing is not driven up any further.
Lock the nut by bending one of the tabs from the washer into the nut slot. Don't slacken the nut
to get the tab to fit!
Spherical Roller Bearings
Please refer to the drawing "Spherical Roller Bearing Assembly" in this section of this manual.

Howden UK Ltd.

Mounting Sequence
Figure 1 - Wipe the preservative from the sleeve and bearing bores, then lightly oil the sleeve's
outer surface, using thin mineral oil.
Figure 2 - Before mounting the bearing, measure the radial internal clearance with a feeler
gauge, since the reduction of internal clearance is used as a measure of interference. Stand the
bearing on a clean work surface and rotate the inner ring a few times. Use a blade slightly
thinner than the minimum value of the clearance before mounting (see the accompanying table
for the clearance value). Insert the blade over the roller next to the uppermost roller. In that
position, measure with increasingly thicker blades until, when attempting to pull out the blade,
there is a slight resistance.
Figure 3 - Smear molybdenum disulphide paste (or similar lubricant) onto the thread and also
the locking washer which will abut the bearing.
Figure 4 - Open the sleeve slightly and slide it into the correct position on the shaft.
Figure 5 - This figure shows the nut, the locking washer, the bearing and the sleeve fitted to the
shaft. Place the bearing on the sleeve and screw on the nut, with the nut chamfer toward the
bearing. Tighten the nut just enough to ensure that the bearing and shaft make contact with the
sleeve, but do not tighten and drive the bearing further up the sleeve.
Figure 6 - Turn the nut with a hook spanner. To achieve the right fit, turn the nut through the
correct tightening angle (pushing the bearing on to the sleeve). As the bearing has a tendency
to skew when being pressed up, it is advisable to reposition the hook spanner in a slot at 180o to
the one used for tightening. Tighten a few more degrees by lightly tapping on the spanner with
a hammer (as illustrated in the diagram). The bearing will then straighten up on its seating.
Figure 7 - During drive up the reduction in internal clearance under the lowest roller must be
frequently checked.
The minimum values for internal clearance, given in the table, apply mainly to bearings in which
clearance is close to the lower limit. This will give the minimum permissible clearance.
To ensure proper shaft fitting when driving up bearings with greater clearance than normal - e.g.
C3 or C4 - it is recommended to keep to the upper half of the clearance reduction range.
When the internal clearance is correct, lock the nut by bending one of the tabs from the washer
into the nut slot. Don't slacken the nut to get the tab to fit!
8.5 Shaft & Bearing Assembly
This section details how to remove Plummer Block Races.
8.5.1 Strip Down
Remove the drive and shaft guard. Disconnect the coupling by removing the covers, springs or
other driving members. Remove the motor dowel pins and holding down bolts. Slide the motor

Howden UK Ltd.

back on its pedestal sufficiently to allow the 'coupling driven half hub' to be removed from the fan
shaft.
Arrange wood packing under the impeller and/or support shaft, between the impeller and
inboard bearing.
8.5.2 Removal
Remove the tops of the housing halves on both bearings.
Unlock the taper sleeve retaining nuts on both bearings and then loosen the taper sleeve itself.
Remove the fixing ring/s from the located bearing.
Remove the holding down bolts on each bearings.
It should now be possible to withdraw each of the housings from the shaft (commencing with the
outboard bearing) complete with its race, sleeve, nut, tab and seals.
Alternatively, if the shaft is tilted sufficiently, the races can be slid out and off the shaft, leaving
the housings in position.
8.5.3 Reassembly
Before assembling any bearing part make certain that it is clean. New races might be coated
with protecting grease and this should always be washed off using benzene or benzole before
packing with grease.
Remove the old races as above.
With the bottom halves of the housings in position, tilt the shaft and slide all races, seals,
adapter sleeves, nuts and locking tabs along the shaft into position and rest them in the
housings.
Make sure that the shaft is in the correct axial position, (refer to the fan G.A. drawing in this
manual), and insert sleeves. Tighten up the nuts and bend the locking tabs to retain the
sleeves.
Insert the locking ring/s in the fixed bearing/s then re-pack and replace the top halves of the
bearing housings.
The bearing holding down bolts should be replaced and loosely tightened.
Replace the coupling driven half hub, slide the motor forward on the pedestal and replace the
holding down bolts.
Refit / align the drive, align the impeller and fully tighten the holding down bolts.
Replace the fan drive and guard.

FAULT FINDING
9.1 Vibration
Out of balance should be corrected as soon as possible. If fan is allowed to run for long periods
in an unbalanced state, either the impeller, shaft or bearings will sustain damage. Causes of
vibration and suggested remedies are given below.
Causes

Suggested Remedies

a) Deposit on impeller

In most cases the deposit will be heaviest on


the back of the blades. This must be removed
and the impeller thoroughly cleaned with a wire
brush.

b) Misalignment of fan and


driving unit.

Correct the alignment.

c) Abrasion of impeller.

Impeller wear may cause out of balance even


though wear is not sufficiently severe to justify
replacement or repairs. Re-balance impeller in
position.

d) Impeller damage in transit


or erection.

Rectify any obvious damage and re-balance


the impeller in position. If it is badly damaged
then return the impeller to our works.

e) Bent fan shaft.

The shaft should be replaced.

f)

Tighten all holding down bolts and bearings,


check alignment.

Slack holding down bolts in


baseplates or pedestals.

g) Inferior foundations or
structural supports.

Refer to sections 4.2 and 4.3.

h) Electrically induced impulses.

Check electric circuits, motors and starter.

mechanical overload.

Fit new bearing


Replace the bearings and put in
new grease of the
recommended grade.

Double location if two ball


bearings are fitted.

Check the gap spigots and


reduce at one end if necessary,
so that only one bearing is
located to take end thrust.

Bearings are slack in the


housing.

Fit a new endshield

There is foreign matter in the


grease or bearing housing.
The shaft seal or inlet cone is in
contact with the impeller.

Wash the bearing housing in


diesel oil, or equivalent and put
in new grease.
Check shaft casing seal and
adjust as required.
Check that the inlet cone to
impeller clearances are in
accordance with G.A. Drawing
(see section 11) and re-set
accordingly.

if necessary.

The bearings have been


overgreased (ball and roller
bearings only).

Sufficient grease to allow easy


running should be placed in the

Rotor not free to rotate


Overloading
Open circuit or low voltage
Incorrectly connected stator
Defective stator windings
Failure to take load
Short circuited rotor
Faulty capacitor
Faulty centrifugal switch (single phase switch)

1. Rotor not free to rotate


Remove the drive coupling and make sure that any wear on the bearings is not allowing the
rotor to touch the stator laminations, causing it to lock against the stator.
If the bearings are in order and the rotor revolves freely by hand, try starting the motor when
disconnected from its load (remember that a rotor with worn bearings will often revolve freely
when turned by hand with the current switched off, but will lock or bind when the current is
switched on).
2. Overloading
If a motor starts when disconnected from its load, but fails to start when connected, then the
trouble is probably insufficient starting torque. If you are dealing with an auto-transformer starter
then alter the tappings to a higher voltage. If a direct-on-line or start-delta starter fails to start a
motor on load then the starting load must be reduced or the size of motor, or its starting torque
must be increased.
Overloading or low mains voltage may cause an induction motor to crawl at a sped
approximately one seventh of the full load speed; this is due to the seventh harmonic in the
voltage wave. To overcome this, the load must be reduced or the voltage improved.
3. Open circuit, low voltage
Test voltage at terminals of starter whilst attempting to start the motor, and note any drop in
volts during starting operation. If so, this may be the cause of the trouble, as the torque will vary
with the square of the voltage.
Make sure you are getting full voltage across each phase, and that one or more phases are not
open circuited. If they are, test back to distribution board to locate trouble and also test at motor
terminals. If one phase is open circuited, the motor will make a humming noise when switched
on. The open circuit may be in the starter or the switch.
4. Wrongly connected stator windings
The most common mistake is with series/parallel connections, when one or more half phases
may be reversed. This will produce a similar effect to that when one phase is open circuited.

Howden UK Ltd.

Test each wire with an insulation tester before connecting at either end, to ensure that they are
connected to their correct terminals, as shown in the maker's connection diagram.
5. Defective stator windings
Put ammeter in each phase in turn. A clip-on meter is very convenient; for small currents a
better reading can often be obtained by passing two or more turns through the loop in the meter
and dividing the reading on the meter by the number of turns used. If there is a marked
difference in current in one phase, it is probably defective.
6. Squirrel cage motor starts, but will not take load
This could be due to the motor failing to start, as described previously in causes 2,3,4 or 5 listed
under paragraph 9.5.
Another possible cause of motor starting but stopping when put on load is that IEE regulation
219B has not been complied with, and so not all of the conductors feeding the motor are
enclosed in the same conduit or metal sheathing.
On a long run of cable, a very considerable voltage drop would occur because of this, and a
drop of as much as 80% has been known to take place when the full load current is flowing.
7. Short circuited rotor (slip ring)
This may cause a knocking noise when the motor is running. To discover if one or more
windings are short-circuited; lift all brushes, disconnect one phase of the supply from the stator
and switch the other two phases to the mains.
Turn the rotor by hand; if there is a short circuited winding the rotor will lock - or tend to lock - in
one position. If it does, remove the rotor and test with ohmmeter between slip rings D and E, E
and F, F and D. If two of these readings are lower that the third one then the coil connecting the
ring which occurs in both the low readings is the defective one. In any case it may be necessary
to have the rotor re-wound, unless the fault can be traced by observation and remedied by reinsulating.
8. Testing capacitor
If the capacitor is fitted with a discharge resistance, disconnect this as it may be defective. Then
charge the capacitor and discharge through a test lamp; if it appears to be defective, try another
of the same capacity. Be careful not to touch the terminals of the capacitor when it is charged.
9. Faulty centrifugal switch (single phase only)
Check lead connections on fixed backplate. Check the mechanism of the centrifugal switch's
moving parts, ensuring that when the weights are moved by hand the contacts open and when
the flier weights are released, the contacts are positively re-closed.
When a motor fault is suspected then a detail log of voltage, current and insulation resistance
must be made and advised to Howden UK Ltd or the motor supplier, together with description of
the problem.
