“Industrial Quality” has
long described Chicago’s

WHEELS
Chicago offers two basic types of
cast aluminum wheels. Radial blades
are the most commonly used and
provide the best overall performance.
They consist of either six or eight
blades depending on wheel diameter.
Backward curved blades have

SHAFT SEAL
A virgin teflon sheet is bolted to the
drive side of the housing. The seal is
designed to reduce airstream leak-
age and contamination through the
blower shaft opening in the housing.

RUGGED MOTOR BASE

A heavy gauge steel pedestal holds
the motor firmly in place. The
flanged and welded construction
provides exceptional rigidly.

in accordance with AMCA 211. Fans must be manufactured and assembled
in the U.S.A.
Acceptable vendors: Chicago Blower Corporation

PERFORMANCE:
Performance shall include steep pressure and overloading horsepower char-
acteristics. Mechanical efficiency shall be no less than 60%. System static
pressure changes of 30% shall result in no more than 10% CFM reduction.

HOUSING:
Housing shall be cast with 319 cast aluminum, having a 3/16" minimum
wall thickness. Housing should consist of two halves which are bolted and
sealed. Inlets and outlets shall be round of nominal diameters for slip fit of
ductwork, flexible connector, or hose. Housings include a Teflon shaft seal.
All housing sizes shall be reversible for clockwise or counterclockwise
and capable of being rotated to all eight standard discharge positions.

WHEEL:
Wheels with tip speeds to 13,000 feet per minute shall be 319 cast
aluminum. Wheels with tip speeds over 13,000 feet per minute shall be
356 cast aluminum with T6 heat treatment. All wheels shall have an inte-
gral straight bore hub keyed with set screws for mounting. Wheels to be
statically and dynamically balanced to G 6.3 standards in accordance with
ISO 1940 and ANSI S2.19 specifications. The addition of weights is not
allowed, thus balancing shall be accomplished by material removal only.

MOUNTING:
Motorbase-Fan shall be mounted with heavy gauge steel pedestal.

FACTORY MOUNTED MOTORS:

Motors to be factory mounted. Unit to be tested at running speed for
vibration and balance. Filtered vibration readings, taken at bearings, not to
exceed .22 inches per second.

ACCESSORIES:
• Flanged Inlet/Outlet – 319 Cast Aluminum with Punched Holes
• 1/2" NPT Housing Drain with Plug
• Inlet/Outlet Screen
• RIS Isolators
• Inlet Filter
• Slide Gate Damper
