SECTION 2 - MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND FANS

1. General

1.1 This section covers the supply, delivery, installation, painting, testing and
commissioning, and thereafter twelve (12) months Defects Liability Period of
all mechanical ventilation fans and associated controls and accessories.

1.2 All fans shall be carefully selected and be entirely suitable for their particular
service, position of fittings and chosen with respect of corrosion,
inflammability or other hazardous application. Low noise fans shall be
selected.

1.3 The fans shall be capable of handling the air quantity necessary for the
specified system performance against the resistance of the system. The
resistances shown on the Schedules are for tendering purposes only and the
Contractor shall be held responsible for checking the final system resistance
before ordering the equipment.

1.4 Fans shall be balanced and free from vibration. All fans shall have complete
impeller assemblies including drive components, and be statically and
dynamically balanced.

1.5 Performance test of up to 110% normal running speed shall be conducted.

The rotor and pulley shall be further balanced on site to the approval of the
SO. The rotors shall be selected for quiet operation in accordance with the
relevant British Standard Code. Performance shall be rated in accordance
with the ACMA Standard.

1.6 Unless specified, fans shall be designed and constructed for continuous
operation.

1.7 All fans shall be fitted with engraved identification and directional labels
giving full details of speed, motor capacity, pulley and belt sizes and type of
grease required, and mechanically fixed where they can be easily seen and
not subject to potential damage.
1.8 After manufacture, the casing, impeller shaft and belt guards shall be
thoroughly cleaned and given two (2) coats of anti-corrosive paint or other
approved treatment.

2. Centrifugal Fans

2.1 Centrifugal fans shall be supplied and fitted, generally as shown on the
Tender Drawings. Unless otherwise specified or shown on the Drawings the
centrifugal fans shall be double width, double inlet type or single width, single
inlet type and fans handling more than 35,000CMH shall be of airfoil
backward curved blade and flat blade backward curved may be used for fans
handling 35,000CMH or less. Fan wheels and housing shall be of galvanised
steel or approved equivalent. All centrifugal fans shall be belt-driven unless
otherwise noted on the Schedule.
2.2 Motor speed shall not exceed 1,500rpm or as noted on the Tender Drawings.

2.3 The main vibration isolators shall be metal spring, fitted with ribbed neoprene
pads not less than 8 mm thick at the top and bottom of the spring. The ratio
of the spring height to spring width shall be approximately equal when the
spring is deflected under load. Mounting shall be located high enough or
spaced far enough apart to prevent the machine rocking excessively.

2.4 Mounting shall be easily visible and accessible for inspection and
maintenance. When the mountings are carrying the static load, there shall
be a clearance of not less than 20mm under the base.

2.5 In the loaded condition, the spring shall be able to maintain a further 50%
increase in load before the spring bottom, in this condition it shall not exceed
the elastic limit of the spring. All springs shall be constructed of best quality
steel properly heat treated.

2.6 All isolators shall be sized to have the following static deflection when loaded
unless otherwise stated in the Schedules and/or Drawings:

Operating speed Deflection

1,000rpm and above 25mm

400rpm to 1,000rpm 40mm

3. Propeller Fans

3.1 Propeller-type ventilation fans manufactured from plastic or other similar

approved materials designed for commercial or domestic uses shall be
supplied and fitted, generally as shown on the Tender Drawings. Fans shall
be window-mounted or wall-mounted to suit the particular installation. Wall-
mounted fans shall be supplied with wall boxes and wall plates suitable for
removal for cleaning, or built-in walls where shown on the Tender Drawings.

3.2 The fans shall be complete with weatherproof flush fitting exterior grilles,
draught-preventing iris or similar shutters linked to the fan switches and flush
fitting interior grilles.
