SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The operation and maintenance of machinery of any kind requires a person to be cautions and
aware of the damages that exist. In order to avoid injuries to personal and damage to
machinery, the following precautions are very important.
1. Never apply power to the fan motor for any reason until the fan has been completely
installed in its system, and the system inspected to be sure that no debris has been left
in the fan & ducts, and it is known that the inspection doors at the inlet and outlet of the
air passages are shut. The usual procedure is to remove the fuses from the disconnect
switch and open its safety isolation switch until the installation is completed and
inspected.
2. Start the fan momentarily and disconnect it. Observe rotation of the wheel or the drive
rotation is correct. Do not allow the fan to run backward, except momentarily.
3. Do not open or access inspection doors while the fan is running.
4. Always open the disconnect switch and lock it in the open position with a padlock before
doing any service or maintenance work on the fan.
5. After service of any kind make certain that all adjustment have been properly made and
tightened ,inspection doors closed, there is no debris in the air passages and all tools
have been removed before unlocking the disconnect switch to place the fan in operation.
6. Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings and coupling to be sure that
corrosion has not set in to weaken them. Where there are signs of corrosion there is
danger of mechanical failure. Corroded parts should be replaced.
7. Always use caution in every maintenance or operational procedure.


CONDITION ON DELIVERY
A. Transport :
The fans are dispatched in dismantled condition with proper packing.
Handle all fan parts with care. Use lifting lugs and good rigging techniques. Slings and
timbers should never be passed through the casing and impeller in order to assist in
rigging.
Pay particular attention to rotor assembly consisting impeller, hub, shaft, bearing
housings and bearings. Avoid any shocks that could damage the parts and their coatings
or alter the impeller balance. If the impeller is damaged slightly, it will have to be
repaired and balanced again.
B. Check for Transportation Damages :

When packages are received at site, check all parts with the help of the packing list
and drawing. If necessary ,make a list of the missing parts ( in case of shortage)
and initiate action for replacement, insurance etc. Check the condition of the parts
that may have been damaged during transport. In case of damages, take steps to
repair the damages in consultation with manufacturer
C. Storage :
General :-
As soon as received ,the different parts of the fan should be placed in clean and dry
covered premises.
Long term storage
Storage for a period of more than three months must be ensured in the best possible
condition, basically protected from dampness so as to avoid oxidisation of the
different parts of the fan unit.
The mechanical parts with machined surfaces are coated with anti-corrosion varnish. In
the case of prolonged storage, before putting in to service, the equipment will be
inspected periodically and the machined parts will be protected from time to time using
protective coating in case of need.
They will be stored in sufficiently large premises, thus providing space for inspection
and easy maintenance of the equipment stored. Moreover , the storage premises will
protect the equipment from sudden changes in temperature, dust, foreign matter, etc.
The impeller and bearing assembly should be rotated at a very low speed ( rotation by
hand) for about thirty minutes, once a week.
Storage of bearing
As a general rule, the bearings are given a rust prevention treatment in the works
before being packed. They can be preserved for several years, in their original packing ,
on a condition that the relative humidity in the storage premises is not over 60 % A
higher degree of relative humidity, up to 75% is however permissible for short term
storage.


SIMPLE SUPPORTED FANS
1. Ensure that the concrete foundation has been made at site as per general assembly
drawing.
2. Check foundation for evenness, and its different levels.
3. Mark centre lines of fan and foundation pockets on the foundation.
NOTE: REFER ENCLOSED ASSEMBLY DRAWING.

FOLLOW MATCH MARK OF EACH COMPONENTS FOR ASSEMBLY.
♦ FOUNDATION BOLTS, FAN ON BASE FRAME: -
4. Place the foundation bolts in all foundation pockets as required and hook up with the
common holding rods provided in the foundation.
5. Clean the threaded portion of the bolt.
6. Generally the concrete block foundation provided to support the fan unit should be at a
level lower than the final installation level by about 50mm. This clearance allows
correction of the civil engineering false level. It is therefore necessary to maintain the
center of the fan and the level of installation.
7. Place the steel packers in between the foundation bolts to the required height.
8. Place the base frame on the packers and bolt together at four corners.
9. Fasten the foundation bolts with base frame.
10. Adjust the horizontal level of the base frame by adjusting steel packers by using dumpy
level. The dimensions to be maintained as per the GA drawing. Check up the diagonal
dimensions for assuring the squareness of the base frame.


♦ BEARING PEDESTALS, CASING
11. Place the bearing pedestals on the base frame and bolt with base frame. Check up the
horizontal level of the bearing pedestals by using water level/dumpy level. The level of pedestal
to be checked with water level /dumpy level.
12. Check up the center-to-center distance of bearing pedestal and diagonal of holes on the
pedestal for ensuring the square ness. This should be maintained as per the drg.
Temporary locking arrangement to be provided for the base frame to avoid disturbance
of the base frame during grouting. The temporary locking can be removed after grouting.
13. Put the grouting materials for the foundation bolts up to the pocket level.
NOTE: Make sure that non-shrinkage type grout materials are used. Allow the
grout to dry long enough.
14. Again check the level and height of bearing pedestals and record the values.
NOTE: Top surface level of bearing pedestals should be checked by master level.
Permissible deviation is 2 division of master level having accuracy 0.02mm/meter. This
level should be obtained by adjusting steel packers in-between base frame and
foundation. Please avoid shims providing between base frame and pedestal.
15. Bolt the bottom half of the casing with inlet box. Provide ceramic rope in between the
flanges as per the fig. 11.
16. Place lower part of casing on base frame and bolt it. Provide Belleville washer in
casing with base frame fixing bolt, as shown in fig. 12.
17. Check the center line of casing, shaft and impeller axis with respect to base frame
and bearing pedestals.
18. Weld the rigid attachment at motor end in-between casing and base frame as per
fig. 13.


♦ FOUNDATION BOLTS, FAN ON BASE PLATE : -

Position the anchor bolts in the anchoring holes by using a template. Adjust in accordance
with the civil engineering axes. Position the base plates of the support feet – bearings on the
ground.
Adjust the horizontal position and the parallelism of the two base plates with the aid of
cylinder screws or with an appropriate use of spacer shims and an aiming telescope
(tolerance: 0.1mm/m) whilst respecting the pitch. Tighten the two base plates with the aid of
the anchor bolts, fill in the anchoring holes with concrete and wait for the concrete to fully
set and dry.
Fill in the free space between the upper part of the foundations and underneath the two
base plates with shrinkage free sealant whilst ensuring that the "packing" of the concrete (or
resin) is uniform under the base plates. Remarks:- The sealant product should be reputed to
be shrinkage free; in which case it is not recommended to use quick setting concrete. It is
highly recommended that you should approach specialists for the choice of the products and
their use.
Leave the sealant product to dry for a sufficient length of time, then check the tightening of
the anchor bolts. Again inspect and control the horizontal position of the base plates.
Tightening torque: See the nuts and bolts drawing.
Fit the fan bearing supports on to the base plates.
Proceed in the same way for the base plates under the motor.
Do not cut off any eventual over lengths of the anchor bolts.
Assemble the base plates of the fan casing on to the casing and position it in accordance with
the theoretical axis of the fan casing.
The theoretical axis of the fan casing should be simulated by a 1 mm Ø nylon wire between
the 2 fan bearing supports

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR BEARING AND BEARING HOUSING
The following procedure will be applicable rotor, loose bearings and bearing housings, if and
when used.
1. PRE -ASSEMBLY CHECKING :
As the bearings are finished to high precision, thorough inspection and checking on the
following points are essential prior to assembly :
a) On opening the packing of bearings, the same shall be thoroughly checked for dirt or
other foreign matter and if found, same shall be carefully washed unless and until it is
necessary.
b) The shaft shall be checked for damage due to transport and handling. Particularly the
surfaces where the bearings are to be mounted should be checked for rusting, scoring etc.
Rust, if found, should be removed by rust remover. Heavy pitting on bearing surfaces of
shaft is not acceptable.
Localized scorings could be removed using oil stone.
If the shaft is found to have a bend, the same should not be used for assembly.
c) Bearing housings although made by precision machining to the given specifications, a

thorough checking is essential to make sure against any defects in the bearing seating
surfaces or dirt inclusion which can possibly result from handling, transportation etc. The
flaw, if any, is to be carefully corrected with the use of an oil stone or fine emery paper
and the dirt to be thoroughly washed off and cleaned.
d) Bearing to be mounted shall be taken out of the original protective packing only
immediately before mounting.
e) The mounting and dismounting tools and necessary jigs must be of proper dimension and
simple design so that they do not cause any mechanical damage to the bearings.


GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :-
With tapered bore:
A bearing with tapered bore, which is seated direct on a shaft, or which is mounted with
an adapter sleeve, ordinarily requires a somewhat tighter fit than a bearing with
cylindrical bore. This fit is achieved by pressing on the inner ring by means of a nut or by
driving in the sleeve. In both cases, the inner bearing is expanded and this results in a
reduction of radial bearing clearance.
If a double row self aligning ball bearing is mounted on an adapter sleeve, the sleeve nut
might be tightened but not so much as to prevent the outer bearing from turning easily
and it must be possible to swing the outer race easily from one side to the other side.
Double row spherical roller bearings which are used mostly in heavy load applications are
mounted with greater interference. The radial clearance is adapted to this fit and its
reduction can be measured while mounting by means of a feeler gauge. For checking the
correct fit of the inner ring, both the reduction of radial clearance and the distance of
the inner ring is driven axially on the tapered seating or on the adapter sleeve and is
measured. For solid shafts, the axial displacement is approximately fifteen times as large
as the desired clearance reduction.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
a) Keep the bottom half of bearing housings on the bearing pedestal.
b) Clean the shaft with the use of white sprit.
c) Insert the brass seal on to the shaft at impeller end.
d) Insert the M.S cover plate on to the shaft at impeller end.
e) Keep the rotor assembly in position but slightly elevated position on supports above the
bearing housing bottom halves.
f) Insert the double - lip seal on to the shaft at impeller end if applicable.
g) Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft to the location with thread portion outside.
h) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper sleeve.
(no locating ring for this bearing as this is free bearing).


i) Keep the gap between bearing to bearing housing to accommodate the expansion of
shaft as shown in our drawings.
j) Tighten the lock nut on the taper sleeve. For tightening the nut, do not use steel chisel
or rod but use either brass or copper rod for taking the force of hammer. The
necessary tightness is achieved when the brass or copper rod flares at the load
transfer end. Check for the clearance between roller and outer race as mentioned in
SKF catalogue.
k) Insert the another double-lip seal on to the shaft if applicable.
l) Now start assembly of drive side (coupling side) bearing by inserting the double lip seal
on to the shaft if applicable.
m) Insert the lock nut and lock washer on to the shaft.
n) Arrange the locating ring on one side or either side of bearing , as the case may be.
o) Insert the bearing with large dia of bore facing outside.
p) Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft.
q) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper sleeve.
r) Tighten the lock nut as explained in point no.
s) Now keep the lock washer teeth locked to the lock nut groove by bending.
t) Insert the another seal on to the shaft.

u) Rest the rotor on the bottom half of bearing housing.
v) Lubricate the bearings with recommended grease from one side of the bearing with
pressure, so that the grease comes at the other side of the bearing through roller
gapes. Check that the bearing is greased uniformly on both sides all around. Fill the
bottom half of the bearing housing with grease.
w) Place the top half bearing housing without applying any grease. Check for free rotation
of the rotor assembly.
x) Tighten the parting off bolts to the correct tightness.


WITH CYLINDRICAL BORE: -
The force needed to mount a bearing increases rapidly with bearing

size. Larger bearing can not easily be pressed on to a shaft or in to
a housing because of the mounting force required. Therefore, the
bearing or one bearing ring is heated before mounting.
The temperature difference between the bearing and its seating

depends on the magnitude of the interference fit and the bearing
size. Normally a bearing temperature of 80 to 90ºC (175ºF to 195ºF).
ing to a temperature greater than 125°C(255 °F), however, be-

cause the material may change metallurgically and produce alterna-
tions in diameter or hardness. Local overheating must be avoided.
When using a heating device, use a thermometer to check the
bearing's temperature.
Wear clean protective gloves when mounting a hot bearing. Lifting

(hoisting) gear can facilitate mounting. Push the bearing along the
shaft to its abutment and hold the bearing in position, pressing until
a tight fit is obtained.
SKF can supply heating tools, such as oil baths, induction heaters,
heating cabinets and electric and electric plates with adjustable thermostat and
cover, for all common mounting needs.
When a bearing requires an interference fit in the housing, a moder-

ate inctrease in the housing temperature, from 20 to 50°C (70 to
120°F) is normally sufficient, since the amount of interference is
seldom large. A heater or oil bath can be used for the job.


Bearings with
shields or seats
should not be
heated.
Lifting gear
(housing)
To facilitate future dismounting equip shafts with ducts

and distribution grooves for pressurized oil
SKF heaters are generally equipped with

adjustable thermostats Nevertheless it is
advisable to use a separate thermometer
to check bearing temperature immediately
before mounting. The thermometer is
also useful during test runs and Use clean protective gloves to hold the hot
for monitoring bearings bearing press it hard against the abutment
during operation face so that the inner ring fits snugly on the
A cabinet equipped wiyh an adjustable thermostat and a fan is a

versatile tool suitable for many heating operations. Bearings of dif-
ferent sizes or a large number of bearings can e heated together in a
cabinet. Small bearing housings can also be heated. Keep the cabi-
net clean to reduce the risk of bearing contamination. Bearings can
also be stored hot, ready to mount.
In addition to bearings, couplings, sleeves and other components

can also be heated in a cabinet.
Oil baths ensure even heating. They

also make it possible to heat and
maintain a bearing at a certain
temperature. Keep the oil in a clean
bath to prevent bearing contamination.
Bearing rings, or even complete bearings, can be

suspended in an oil bath.
Never place a bearing directly in contact with the sides

Some important notes
Direction of discharge
The fans are supplied in discharge direction as specified in order . This can be altered at
site .
Connection of duct
Duct connection of the fan casing must not exert any load directly on the fan as the casing
may be deformed and the inlet cone may come in contact with impeller .
Direction of impeller
The direction of rotation is indicated in fan casing .


Erection on vibration isolator
Ensure of grouting pocket positions in civil foundation are as per GA drg.

Bolt the isolators with base frame .
Insert the grouting bolts in mounting holes of isolators.
Place the base frame in position and at it's required elevation , level it in X- Y axis ;
provide temporary support under base frame .
While positioning the base frame , ensure the grouting bolts are positioned at center in
their respective pockets .
Grout the isolator pockets Use non shrinkable cement .
Remove temporary support only after curing is complete . The isolators are loaded now.
Check level of shaft . If required , place shims between base frame and isolator .
Important point to be noted
The main idea of providing vibration isolator is to avoid transmission of undue vibration
from the equipment to the surrounding structure and not to reduce equipment vibration
, in fact equipment vibration may be on higher side due to soft foundation and vibration
value 10 mm/s ( Peak Value ) is acceptable for Fans.
We do not normally recommend to use vibration isolator when fans are installed at ground
level.

MAINTENANCE
RUNNING MAINTENANCE
1. Fill bearing lubricant of recommended specification and quantity at the specified intervals
for bearing housings. The interval should be determined based on local condition like
working environment etc.
2. Check periodically vibration levels of the fan at both bearings.
3. Check periodically the proper seating of fan on the foundation and for abnormal vibration
at any location.
4. Check for looseness of any bolts in the fan pedestals, casing, etc.
SHUT DOWN MAINTENANCE:
1. Open inspection door in casing. Clean the impeller blades and internals.
2. Check for erosion of the impeller.
3. Check the overlap and radial clearance between impeller shroud and inlet cone. If found
disturbed adjust the same.
4. Remove used bearing lubricant from bearing housing.
5. Check the bearing condition like roller clearance and the rolling surfaces of races.
6. Fill new lubricant in the bearing housing.
7. Check alignment of fan and motor. If necessary correct the same.
8. Check the Inlet damper flaps movement.
9. Apply grease for Inlet damper bearing housings.
10. Check the tightness of all fixing bolts.

INLET DAMPER
According to the installation conditions and the operating frequency of the inlet damper
following should be lubricated.
VANE BEARINGS : Make sure when topping up that the spent grease is discharged normally.
LINK ROD PINS : Apply grease after cleaning if required.

Lubrication interval : Normally three months, to be changed as and when required.


Lubrication interval and amount
Grease
For fans provided with spherical roller bearing, the bearings housing are
fitted with grease nipples and are fitted with the correct amount of grease
when requested.
The lubrication intervals and the amount of grease necessary for relubrication
The chart is based on a temperature of 70°C. For every 15°C increase in
temperature the lubrication interval should be reduced to 50% of the value
obtained from the chart.
(Example : For a fan fitted with spherical roller bearings with the bearing bore
diameter of 120mm and running at 1000RPM the relubrication interval will be
800 operating hours if the bearing's temperature does not exceed 70°C).
Oil
When inspecting the oil level of a bearing, check to ensure that the right type of oil is in use
and that the oil level gauge's air vent is unobstructed.
Take a small sample of the oil and compare it with fresh oil. If the sample look's cloudy, then
it is mixed with water and should be replaced.
Dark or thick oil is a sign of dirt or indicates that the oil has started to carbonize. Change
the oil completely and, if possible, clean the bearing by flushing it with fresh oil . When
changing the oil, be sure that you are using the same type of oil , and that you refill to the
required level .
A more reliable method for determining the oil condition is to analyze a sample . If the oil is
contaminated it may be worthwhile to change the seals or consider filtration .
Oil in oil bath circulation systems requires change only once each year, providing that the
operating temperatures does not exceed 50 to 60 º C and the oil does not become
contaminated . Change the oil four times each year for operating temperatures of 100 º C ;
monthly for operating temperature of 100 º C.

NOTE :- Oil level has to be measured from the bottom of the housing and not from the
bottom of the indicator.


Lubrication in SOFN housing
The spherical Roller Bearing in SOFN blocks are lubricated with oil: a pick-up ring in the
housing serves to bring about oil circulation . The pick-up ring hangs loosely on a sleeve on the
shaft at one side of the bearing and dips into oil in the lower half of the housing. As the
shaft rotates, the ring follows and transports oil from the bottom of the housing to a
collecting trough formed in the spigot (cylindrical extension) of the one housing cover on a
level with the rollers of the bearing under the shaft thus permitting oil to enter the bearing.
The oil then flows through an opening in the spigot of the opposite housing cover back into
the reservoir at the bottom of the housing. The collecting trough is so dimensioned that the
level of the oil in the trough guarantees an optimum supply of lubricant to the bearing. The oil
in the rese3036rvoir at the bottom of the housing is cooled, depending on the ambient
temperature, before being re-circulated. This lubrication system permits SOFN plummer
blocks to be used for high-speed bearing applications. The difference between the maximum
and minimum oil levels in the reservoir may be relatively large when a pick-up ring is employed.
The intervals between oil replenishment or oil change are correspondingly long. The requisite
oil quantity for each housing is given in the tables.
The oil level indicator supplied with the housing should be screwed into one of
the four threaded holes provided in the housing covers. The remaining holes may be used for
oil drainage. The "max." and "min" oil levels given in the tables should be marked on the
indicator.


Mounting/Dismounting - SOFN housing
The pick up ring must always be in position and it's freedom of movement should not be
restricted. If the ring is not incorporated . There will be an almost immediate danger of
bearing damage because of dry running .
It is recommended the pick up ring be positioned on the side of the bearing nearest the
shaft end in plummer blocks having bearings with cylindrical bore.
The side cover with four recesses in the spigot should be place in the same side of housing as
the pick up ring .
The vent of oil level indicator must not be plugged as otherwise an air cushion in the sight
glass may lead to false reading . The actual oil level will be too high and oil will leak out of the
plummer block shaft passage.
Maintenance - SOFN housing
Before starting up for the first time , the oil quantity quoted in the table should be put
into the housing . The maximum oil level guarantees lubrication of bearing when it starts
running before it can be supplied with the oil picked up by the ring . Thus the oil level should
be restored to maximum before starting up after long stoppage.
Even if the housing is carefully cleaned before use there is risk that some impurities will be
left. It is therefore advisable to change the oil after an initial trial running period of few
hours. Subsequent changes can the be made at convenient intervals but should be undertaken
at least once in a year. The bearing must be at a standstill when the oil is changed.
If , during the trial run no oil leaves the housing , a monthly check of the oil level should be
adequate.
During operation , the oil level may sink to the minimum level given in the tables . If oil is to
be added during operation , it should be filled to a level some 5 mm beneath the maximum oil
level on the indicator to avoid overfilling , since some oil will be in circulation .
A blind hole with an M24 thread plugged with a plastic stopper , is provided in the housing
cap. If required , a thermometer or the sensor of some other temperature measuring device
, may be inserted .The hole stops just short of bearing outer ring , so that it is possible to
measure the temperature in close proximity of the source of heat. A more rapid indication of
temperature change is obtained , would be possible by measuring the temperature of oil .
