DMFI-CA Specification

TYPICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Model: DMFI-CA

Description: Fans shall be Type DMFI-CA (standard mixed flow) of the non-overloading design.

Certifications: Model DMFI-CA shall be available UL 705 listed. Fans shall bear a permanently attached nameplate displaying model and serial number of the unit for future identification. Performance ratings shall conform to AMCA Standard 205 (fan efficiency grade), 211 (air performance) and 311 (sound performance). Fans shall be tested in accordance with ANSI/AMCA Standard 210 (air performance) and 300 (sound performance) in an AMCA accredited laboratory. Fans shall be licensed to bear the AMCA certified ratings seal for both sound and air, and fan efficiency grade (FEG). Sound certification shall apply to both inlet and outlet sound power levels.

Performance: Fans shall be designed for maximum efficiency. Fans shall have a sharply rising pressure characteristic extending through the operating range and continuing to rise well beyond the efficiency peak to assure quiet and stable operation under all conditions. Horsepower characteristics shall be truly self-limiting and shall reach a peak in the normal selection area.

Housing: Housings shall be cylindrical and welded steel throughout. Inlets shall be fully streamlined. Housings shall be suitably braced to prevent vibration or pulsation. Totally enclosed belt guard shall enclose motor sheave and V-belt drives. Punched inlet and outlet flanges shall be equipped for duct mounting. Extended lube lines shall be provided for ease of lubrication. Model DMFI-CA shall include bolted access door for inspection and maintenance of wheel.

Wheel: Fan wheels shall have die-formed hollow airfoil blades designed for maximum efficiency, and quiet and stable operation. Blades shall be continuously welded to the back plate and wheel cone. Wheels shall be statically and dynamically balanced and the complete fan assembly including motor and drive shall be test balanced at or near the operating speed at the factory prior to shipment.

Inlet Vanes: Inlet vanes, where specified, shall be of the nested design. Inlet vanes shall be designed for economical, stable, and efficient air volume control at partial load conditions.

Finish and Coating: The entire fan assembly, excluding the shaft, shall be thoroughly degreased and deburred before application of a rust-preventative primer. After the fan is completely assembled, a finish coat of paint shall be applied to the entire assembly. The fan shaft shall be coated with a petroleum-based rust protectant. Aluminum components shall be unpainted.

Factory Run Test: All fans with motors and drives mounted by manufacturer shall be completely assembled and test run as a unit at the specified operating speed prior to shipment. Each wheel shall be statically and dynamically balanced in accordance with ANSI/AMCA 204-96 "Balance Quality and Vibration Levels for Fans" to Fan Application Category BV-3, Balance Quality Grade G6.3. Balance readings shall be taken by electronic type equipment in the axial, vertical, and horizontal directions on each of the bearings. Records shall be maintained and a written copy shall be available upon request.
