General Instructions
(Axial Flow Fan)
TDA, TDA-F, TDA-V, TBE, TDB, TDS
IGB010.E3/0806

This manual is to guide the users in the proper storage, installation, operation and maintenance procedures to
ensure maximum equipment life and trouble-free operation. HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE PERFORMED BY EXPERIENCED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL.
RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Rough handling during shipment and improper storage can cause damage that is not noticeable until the fan
is in operation. This can be avoided with proper storage and handling techniques.
Fan should be hoisted with slings placed around the fan housing. Touch up the scratch coated surfaces during
lifting, to prevent corrosion to occur at this area. Store the fan in a clean and dry place, preferably indoor to
ensure fan shaft, bearing and fan casing are protected against dust and corrosion. Do not store the fan in a
location where it will be subjected to vibration. This can cause the internal surface to rub against each other
and damage the bearings.
START-UP CHECK LIST
Before putting any fan into initial operation the manufacturer’s instruction must be followed. Complete the
following checklist to make sure that the fan is ready to run.
Lock out the primary and all secondary power sources.
Make sure the foundation or mounting arrangement and the duct
connections are adequately designed in accordance with recognized
acceptable engineering practices and with the fan manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Check and tighten all hold-down (securing) bolts.
Check the fan assembly and bearings for proper grounding to prevent static
electricity discharge.
Spin impeller to see whether it rotates freely and is not grossly out of balance.
Inspect impeller for correct rotation for the fan design.
Check belt drive or coupling alignment, use recommended belt tension.
Check belt drive for proper sheave selection and make sure they are not
reversed.
Properly secure all safety guards.
Inlet and outlet damper (if any) must be maintain 60% air volume, totally
closed should be avoided.
Switch on the electrical supply and allow the fan to reach full speed.
Check carefully for :-
(1) Excessive vibration
(2) Unusual noise
(3) Proper amperage and voltage values
(4) Proper belt alignment
If any problem is indicated, SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY. Lock out the electrical
supply, secure the fan impeller if there is a potential for wind milling. (impeller
turning due to a draft through the system). Check carefully for the cause of the
trouble and correct as necessary.

The fan may now be put into operation but during the first 8 hrs of running, it should be periodically observed
and checked for excessive vibration and noise. Checks should be make of motor input current and motor &
bearing temperature to ensure that they do not exceed manufacturer’s recommendation. After 8 hrs of
operation, the fan should be shut down to check the following items :-
(1) All set screws and hold-down bolts
(2) Belt drive alignment
(3) Belt drive tension
(4) Bearing housing temperature
After 24 hrs of the satisfactory operation, the fan should be shut down, and the drive belt tension should be
readjusted to recommended tension.

Drive
Unbalanced pulleys
Belts may vibrate excessively
Balance the pulley or the system
Proper sheave alignment and adjust to correct belt tension
Required air volume not achieved
Possible cause
Remedy
Impeller
Impeller/inlet dirty or clogged
Improper running clearance
Improper blade setting
Impeller installed or running wrong direction
Incorrect speed of impeller because of:
i) Wrong motor speed
ii) Belt drive ratio not correct
iii) Too high slip of V-belt
iv) Wrong calibration of inverter

Duct System
Shutters or dampers of the system are closed
Object obstructs fan or duct
Inlet guide vanes are partly close
Dampers closed
Registers closed
Leaks in supply duct
Obstructions near fan outlet or inlet
Sharp elbows near fan outlet or inlet
Improper designed turning vanes
The pressure losses of the duct system –suction or
discharge side –are higher than calculated/expected
try to find out at what duty point the fan actually is
working! Pay special attention when using an axial fan
Insulating duct liner loose
Pressure resistance offered by the system higher than
the design value
Fluid density higher than the design value
Actual system is more restrictive (more resistance to
flow) than expected
Obstructed fan outlet inlets
Elbows, cabinet walls or other obstructions restrict air
flow. Inlet obstructions cause more restrictive
systems but do not cause increased negative
pressure readings near the fan inlet(s)
Fan speed may be increased to counteract the effect
of restricted fan inlet(s). Caution! Do not increase
speed beyond the fan manufacturers
recommendations
No straight duct at fan outlet
(Fans which are normally used in duct system are
tested with a length of straight duct at fan outlet. If
there is no straight duct at the fan outlet, decreased
performance may result.
If it is not practical to install a straight section of duct
at the fan outlet, the fan speed may be increased to
overcome this pressure loss. Caution! Do not increase
fan speed beyond the fan manufacturers
recommendations.)
Projections, dampers or other obstruction in a part of
the system where air velocity is high
Obstructions in high velocity air stream
Open damper or IVC
Clear obstructed ducts
Open grill/diffuser damper
Open Damper
Open Register
Seal the Leakage
Clear obstruction
Redesign and change elbow
Redesign and change vanes
Modify duct design or try to eliminate turbulences
by straighteners or increase fan speed to
overcome unexpected losses (attention to
available motor power and rpm limitation of fan)

GUIDELINES FOR DUCTED AXIAL FLOW FAN INSTALLATION
INCORRECT CORRECT
flexible connections
The length of the vane extensions
is 3 times their spacing
Square inlet elbow with extended trailing edge vanes delivers less
turbulent airflow to fan inlet
flexible connections
Abrupt inlet transition causes turbulence
Motor upstream of impeller increases turbulence and noise
Upstream radius elbow creates imbalance at inlet
Assymmetrical transition creates imbalanced load on fan,
with excess turbulence and noise
Slack or offset flexible connections causes turbulent air flow
Motor downstream from impeller minimizes turbulence
and noise
Gradual (1:7) expansion of the inlet duct avoids impeller
turbulence
Symmetrical transition balances load on fan, which minimizes
turbulence and noise
Taut, in-line flexible connections provide optional vibration
isolation without creating turbulence

VIBRATION ISOLATOR INSTALLATION
Choose proper isolator
(Isolator can be selected from Kruger selection programme)
Adjust deflection based on the selected isolator.
Maintain the operating / free height at the same level through step 2.
(The entire assembly must be levelled)
Check all the deflection and operating / free height is properly maintained.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should always be performed by experienced and trained personnel. Do not attempt any
maintenance on a fan unless the electrical supply has been locked out or tagged out and the impeller has
been secured.
Under normal circumstances, handling clean air, the system should require cleaning only about a Year.
However, the fan and system should be checked at regular intervals to detect any unusual accumulation.
The fan impeller should be specially checked for build-up of material or dirt which may cause an Imbalance
with resulting undue wear on bearings and belt drives. A regular maintenance program should be established
as needed to prevent material build-up.
Periodic inspection of the rotating assembly must be made to detect any indication of weakening of the rotor
because of corrosion, erosion, or metal fatigue.
