OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS MANUAL
MODELS: DPL/DPL-AF-12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
GENERAL SAFETY
Rotating parts on fans should not be exposed. Where these components are not protected by ductwork, cabinets or
covers, appropriate guards should be employed to restrict exposure to rotating parts. Access doors should not be
opened with the fan operating to avoid foreign objects being drawn into the system. On initial start-up a careful
inspection should be carried out to ensure no foreign material is present which could become airborne in the system.
Read installation and operation instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate or service Delhi DPL/DPL-AF
Series Blowers. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Retain
instructions for future reference.

INSTALLATION
1. Secure the unit through the mounting holes located on the angle iron frame.
2. Rotate the blower wheel by hand. It should not rub against the inlet venturi. If rubbing occurs, loosen the hub
bolts and adjust the motor wheel position.
3. Install the motor mounting platform using the hardware supplied with the optional 10-30 HP motor platform.
Mount the motor to the motor platform (motor platform shown in Figure 2) from Delhi Industries, or base mount
the motor. (supplied by others)

4. Mount the blower sheave on the blower shaft and tighten its set-screw securely on the key of the shaft. (See
Table 1 for drive data).
5. Mount the motor sheave on the motor shaft. Leave some clearance between the pulley and the motor end bell.
Tighten the set-screws on the key of the motor shaft.
6. When using the 10-30 HP motor platform, with the slide base in its minimum position install the V belt within the
sheave grooves. Adjust the sheave on the blower shaft to ensure proper pulley alignment (see Figure 3) and
secure in place. A straight edge across the face of the driven pulley should be parallel to the belt once proper
alignment has been achieved.
WARNING: Excessive belt tension is the most
frequent cause of bearingwear and resulting
noise. Proper belt tension is critical for quiet
efficient operation.
FIGURE 3: PULLEY ALIGNMENT
7. Adjust the slide base motor platform to tighten the belt. Ideal belt tension is the lowest tension at which the belt
will not slip during start up. As rule of thumb suggests that ¾” of deflection mid span under medium finger
pressure (2-3 lbs.) for every foot of span is approximately proper belt tension. Tighten all hardware once belt
has been adjusted properly.

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Correction Factors:
The actual performance of the plenum is based upon the overall design of the plenum system. Two correction factors
must be applied to all plenum fans.
1. Outlet duct loss
2. Influence of adjacent plenum walls
ESTIMATED LOSSES DUE TO PLENUM OUTLETS
Outlet losses based on the outlet configuration and duct velocity must be included in the systems external static pressure
requirements. Outlet losses are dependent on the direction of the outlet, shape of the outlet and size of the Plenum. On
Plenum’s with more than one discharge, select the configuration that has the greatest loss.

ELECTRICAL
WARNING: Ensure power supply is disconnected and locked out prior to makingelectrical connections.
Before connecting the motor to the electrical supply, check the electrical characteristics and wiring instructions as
indicated on the motor nameplate or as shown below. Complete electrical connections as indicated.
WARNING: A ground wire must be connected from the motor housingto a suitable electrical ground.
OPERATION
1. After electrical connections are completed, remove belts, energize the motor momentarily to ensure proper
motor rotation. Re-install the belts.
2. With the air systems in full operation and all ducts and access panels attached, measure current input to the
motor and ensure that it is less than the rated full load motor amperage.
3. Proper adjustment to the belt tension is critical for quiet efficient operation.
MAINTENANCE
Ensure power supply is disconnected and locked out prior to performingmaintenance
1. Inspect and tighten the wheel hub bolts after the first 50 to 100 hours of operation and periodically thereafter.
2. Follow the motor manufacturer’s instructions for motor lubrication. Remove any excess lubrication.
3. Drives:
A– Check belt tension and alignment, replace cracked or worn belts. If it is necessary to replace one
belt on a multiple belt drive, replace all the belts with a matched set.
B– Under normal conditions, no re-lubrication is the rule. The bearing lubricant cavity is 1/3-1/2 filled as
shipped from the factory. Never lubricate new bearings.
C– Tighten set-screws on sheaves, wheel and bearing locking collars.
4. Clean the blower wheel periodically. Material build up on the blades can cause wheel imbalance which, may
result in wheel or motor bearing failure.
5. Generally, bearings should be lubricated at six to twelve month intervals. Recommended lubricants are: a)
Imperial Oil – ESSO Beacon 325, or b) Shell Oil – Alvania Grease #3. A small amount of grease should be
added slowly when the shaft is rotating. Note:Over greasingmay cause damage to the bearing. Avoid
rupturingthe bearingseal.
6. To reinstall replacement ball bearings press the locking collar against the inner ring of the bearing and turn in the
direction of the shaft rotation until engaged. Insert a drift pin into the pin hole and tap lightly to set. Tighten set-
screw on locking collar firmly.
7. Should further service to the blower be necessary, refer to the exploded view illustration (see Figure 4).
