Bell drive, NV prop fan wheel has welded spider riveted to blades and standard flow, angle arm panel 24″-54″, channel arm panel 60″.

Direct drive, NV panel ventilator wheel has welded spider riveted to blades and reverse flow plate arm panel. 66″-72”.

Belt drive, NV fan wheel has reflex fan blades, double orifice plate arm panel. Safety retaining plate is supplied with fans for vertical flow.

REFLEX FAN BLADES for NV ventilator wheels are available for all sizes 24” thru 96”. The trailing edge of the reflex fan blade is broken opposite to that of the standard NV fan blade. This reduces performance in both directions of air flow but results in a higher ratio of reverse to standard flow capacities than can be obtained with any other ventilator wheel. The reflex blade can be used to obtain equal capacity flow in either direction. Mounting the reflex wheel backwards in a single orifice fan panel will provide capacities of 85% of published volumes in both directions. The double orifice fan panel can also be used effectively with reflex bladed ventilator wheels.

The DOUBLE ORIFICE FAN PANEL offers a streamlined converging and diverging, venturi-like orifice providing maximum, but not equal, fan performance in either direction of air flow. For sizes 18” thru 54” construction consists of butt welding the orifices of an additional panel (less arms and motor support) and a Code FI fan panel. On sizes 60” thru 120” (Refer fig. 3) a rolled orifice is welded to the panel, extending equally on both sides, in place of the cylindrical ring fan orifice.

SPARK RESISTANT FAN CONSTRUCTION can be furnished for explosion-proof applications using an integrally bonded bronze tipped steel wheel. Aluminum fan bladed or all aluminum fan wheels may also be utilized for this service.

STAINLESS STEEL FAN CONSTRUCTION can be furnished for angle arm or channel arm panel fans with any wheel. Belt driven fans will have standard steel shafts unless specified otherwise. Refer to Canada Blower for suitability of channel arm design for the application.

ELECTRO-GALVANIZING can be furnished for a complete fan, for angle, channel and plate arm panels or a wheel only of any design. The complete fan includes wheel and panel only and does not include shafts or hardware. Fans and / or wheels will be supplied with standard paint over the galvanizing unless specified otherwise.

ASPHALTUM and BITUMASTIC are asphalt moisture-resistant paints applied one coat thick and require no special surface preparation. Both have a dry heat limitation of 400°F. On high speed rotating surfaces, bitumastic has a dry heat limit of 250°F.

BISONITE M is a six coat vinyl coating which includes sand-blasting and rounding edges surface preparations. It is suitable up to 180°F and is resistant to most alkalis and acids including nitric up to 20% concentration.

CORLAR EPOXY is a three coat catalytic epoxy coating which includes sandblasting and rounding edges surface preparations. It is suitable up to 250°F and is resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and moisture.

ALUMINUM FAN CONSTRUCTION can be supplied for panels in angle or channel arm construction. All ventilator wheels may be supplied in all aluminum construction. D53 and NV fan wheels are available with aluminum fan blades only, also. Refer to Canada Blower for the suitability of angle or channel arm design for the application.

for satisfactory fan selection, installation and performance

1— Locate fan to blow with prevailing wind (wherever possible). 2— Provide openings for entry of fresh air to replace air being removed.  A. Locate intakes to take advantage of prevailing winds.  B. Provide intake areas at least 20% greater than exhaust fan orifice. 3— Locate fan with respect to intake to obtain maximum effect of fresh air sweeping over work areas. 4— Consider possible suction effect of higher powered exhaust fans. 5— Do NOT locate fans blowing opposite each other in a confined area if it can be avoided. When unavoidable, separate by at least 6 fan diameters. 6— Where steam, excessive heat and odors are encountered, locate fan as near ceiling as possible. A fan hood is recommended to obtain a capture velocity of at least 100 feet per minute. 7— If air over motor is hazardous, use an explosion-proof motor. It may also be desirable to use a non-sparking aluminum fan wheel. 8— Two or more smaller fans are often preferred in place of one large fan to provide better air distribution and more flexible operation. 9— If exposed to corrosive conditions, special materials or protective coatings should be used. 10— Insect screening is not recommended. It reduces effective air removal; requires frequent cleaning to prevent motor overloads. 11— In cold weather, where substantial amounts of air are re-moved, a source of heat for replacement air will be required. It may be advisable to operate at low speed during cold weather.

12— Where quiet operation is a factor, select low rather than high speed units. Also consider two speed units. Determine the fan capacity required by calculating the total con-tents of the space to be ventilated (in cubic feet) and divide by the rate of air change indicated in the table below. Result: cubic feet per minute corresponding to fan rating. For comfort cooling (as differentiated from general ventilation), an air change of not less than a “one minute” air change in the south and a “two minute” air change in the north is desirable. In crowded rooms, at least the above air change, but not less than 60 CFM per person in the south and 40 CFM per person in the north is required. Where there are objectionable odors or heat not cared for at their source by hooding, additional air may be required. Use a free delivery rating for installation in outside walls or partitions, or in penthouses for operation against little resistance other than automatic fan shutters and ordinary wind pressure. They will also operate satisfactorily on straight duct installations not more than 10 or 12 feet long without obstructions such as filters, dampers, etc. Ratings at pressures above free delivery are used where filters, longer ducts, elbows, turns, etc. are involved. These fans can be operated safely for the range of static pressures shown on pages 8-13 with no overloading of the fan motor. For additional information, we suggest that you contact your nearest “Canada Blower” Engineering Sales Representative.

STYLE “V” SKY-VENT ROOF FAN

STANDARD SIZES 15″ through 72″ Fan Wheel Diameters CAPACITIES 2200 through 130,000 CFM. RUGGED FAN CONSTRUCTION for: • Hurricane Force Winds. • Corrosive Atmospheres. Canada Blower Style “V” Sky-Vent Power Roof Ventilators, with their outstanding design features provide clear evidence of the continued leadership of “Canada Blower” in the engineering development and manufacture of ventilating fan “packages” for industrial and commercial ventilation. During the past several years a tremendous change has taken place in ventilation demands. Business establishments have been and are being confronted with rapidly increasing requirements for plant ventilation to attract and retain employee personnel. Demands for improved working conditions coupled with plant management recognition that improved ventilation reduces fatigue, increases production, and eliminates work stoppages, are among the principal factors underlying the demand. The desirability of being able to locate or utilize “package” ventilating equipment in plant areas where side-wall locations were not available or desirable – to effectively ventilate a specific plant area not adjacent to outside walls without expensive or extensive duct work – or to ventilate buildings with equipment located on roof areas without using up valuable internal space, has resulted in a rapidly increasing demand for “Power Roof Ventilators”. This demand has been greatly stimulated by the increasing demand for plant flexibility as exemplified by the automotive industry. Formerly bulky central ventilating systems with extensive duct work were widely used. Now with the necessity for plants lending themselves to major rearrangement of production equipment when changes in models, or products takes place, the utilization of power roof ventilators is rapidly increasing. Recognizing this demand, the Canada Blower Company engaged in an intensive test and design program to greatly increase the size and capacity ranges that could be provided in power roof ventilator fans. Subsequent releases incorporating Breezos, Design 53 Belt-Airs, Design 80, 65 and 50 NV Fans, Type “B” Fans and now, Types K and F, covered a size range from 15″ through 72″ wheel diameters with capacities from 2200 to 130,000 CFM at pressures from free delivery to 1″ or higher static pressures. Availability of “package” fan units for either direct or V-belt drive, shipped completely assembled with motor drive for easy installation by customer, made ventilation applications, formerly economically impossible or attainable only at extremely high cost, possible at costs well within economic consideration. High fan efficiencies resulted in the lowest possible operating costs. Fan maintenance expense was held to a minimum as a direct result of the rugged and outstanding ventilator design features. The high volumes of air required for adequate ventilation of large plants can easily and most economically be handled with “Canada Blower” Sky-Vents. It costs a great deal to cut through existing structures and build up curbed roof openings or to provide such curbed roof openings in new construction. With the high capacity Canada Blower Sky-Vent, the number of roof openings can be minimized and initial equipment cost held at the lowest possible level. At the same time the rugged “Canada Blower” construction far out-values the lighter gauge construction provided by some other fan manufacturers.

Typical installation of Sky-Vents in a large automotive plant utilizing spot ventilation in a one or two story modern plant design. Used in place of former bulky central ventilating systems with extensive ductwork utilized in plants of multi-story design. In this particular plant all roof opening sizes were standardized and special over-size curb sheet design was required on Style “V” Sky-Vent exhaust fan units. They represent the most quiet method to exhaust warm or contaminated air from your plant area. MOTOR SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION.. .A sturdy angle or channel arm construction, as illustrated below, is standard on the So-Low Sky-Vent fan panels for all sizes with D53 wheels, and up through size 60″ with types NV and B ventilator wheels. In sizes 66″ and 72″, using the latter two wheels, a heavy plate arm construction is standard. Published ratings requiring motors which exceed those shown below for angle or channel arm construction with type B wheels will also have plate arm motor supports. Motor support construction for Arr. 9 ventilators with D53 and NV fan wheels having larger motors than their listed maximums but which do not exceed the type B maxi- mums, may be angle or channel or plate arm depending on the rating, application and fan installation requirements.

The ventilation of the entire machine room at the Wausau Paper Mills Company, Brokaw, Wisconsin plant, is typical of installations requiring the rugged construction of Canada Blower Arr. 9 Type “AF” Sky-Vent fans. This application required 1,000,000 CFM divided equally between supply and exhaust.

STYLE “V” SO-LOW SKY-VENT FAN

The Style V So-Low Sky-Vent is a low-silhouette, factory assembled package roof ventilator constructed to withstand hurricane force winds and fit directly onto your roof curb. These roof ventilators are excellent for both general ventilation and spot ventilation of trouble areas. With roof fans there is nothing that will interfere with crane ways or general plant operations. The vertical fan discharge jets exhausted air or fumes above the roof level preventing air recirculation into supply systems and possible damage to roof. The simple and rugged construction means a sturdy unit with low maintenance and the low silhouette is especially suited to todays modern architecture. All units are designed to a minimum of 1800 fpm velocity through the stack to prevent rain or snow from entering the building. Many years of Canada Blower engineering and manufacturing experience have been utilized to offer the most economical, the most efficient.

POWER ROOF VENTILATORS

AF TYPE STYLE “V” SKY-VENT FANS

The AF type Canada Blower Sky-Vent was developed to meet the demand by industry to incorporate the rugged, trouble free and highly efficient designs of Canada Blower vaneaxial and tubeaxial fans into a line of Power Roof Ventilators capable of handling exhaust applications beyond the scope of conventional light-duty ordinary design roof ventilators. In the AF Type Sky-Vent the Canada Blower standard axial flow fan housing is incorporated into the unit and actually represents the stack to which a separate damper head and curb sheet are attached. The belt drive, arrangement 9, ventilator is ideal for handling corrosive and /or explosive fumes because the shaft, bearings, V-belt drive and motor are completely isolated from the air or fumes being removed. The heavy gauge, continuously welded protective belt fairing is completely air tight. A weather tight, easily removable cover protects both motor and drive from all weather conditions. Motor, drive and bearings can readily be serviced from the roof level by removing the weather cover. The direct drive, arrangement 4 fan was designed from our standard tubeaxial fan line to provide high capacity, efficient and quiet roof units with the ruggedness inherent in the standard axial fan line. Because of the simple rugged construction, the arrangement 4 unit is most economical when the fume to be exhausted is non corrosive. Totally enclosed, air over motors are supplied as a standard on all arrangement 4 units. AF TYPE DAMPER FI EADS . . . Flanged fan damper head assemblies and curb caps, in standard AF type sizes, are available assembled without a fan, or separately for design flexibility using Canada Blower Vaneaxial fans.

POWER ROOF VENTILATORS

1. WIND BAND — Heavy gauge galvanized steel; rolled with flanged edges for extra stiffness. 2. RAIN GUTTER — Heavy steel, hot dipped galvanized after fabrication, bolted in place with cadmium plated hardware. Bolted construction provides access to remove wheel or motor from the roof level. Aiso adds structural stiffness to the stack. 3. AUTOMATIC DAMPERS—Open to outside of the airstream offering minimum resistance to air flow. The Blades are made of joggled aluminum sheet, double thickness to prevent warping under repeated opening and closing. 4. DAMPER BEARINGS—Trouble free oilite bushings imbedded in a solid block of aluminum and mounted outside of air or fumes being exhausted. 5. DAMPER STOPS—To insure straightness of damper edge and positive sealing when closed, point stops have been installed on sizes 15″ through 48”. On sizes 54” to 72”, full length angle stops are provided as standard. 6. STACK — Identical to Canada Blower’s standard line of ruggedly designed tube and vane axial flow fan housings. 7. PROTECTED BELT FAIR ING — Heavy gauge steel continuously welded, providing an air-tight housing isolating the V-belt drive, bearings and shaft out of the contaminated air stream. 8. FAN BEARINGS — Heavy duty self aligning, flange mounted cast iron pillow block ball bearings for continuous trouble free operation. Grease fittings are brought to the outside of the housing but under the weather tight cover for easy maintenance. 9. BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT — Screw type arrangement for easy and positive adjustment of V-belt drive. Note also that all adjustments can be made from the roof level. 10. MOTOR COVER — Weather tight protective cover furnished as standard. 11. GUSSETS — Extra heavy gauge galvanized steel to rigidly fasten wind band to the stack. 12. HEAVY DUTY FAN WHEEL — A variety of rugged wheel designs are available to effectively blanket a wide performance range. The efficient and trouble free performance record of these wheel designs has long been an established fact in our standard propeller fan and axial flow fan lines. 13. ROOF CURB SHEET — Heavy gauge steel with flanged edges to simplify flashing to roof curb and insuring leak proof installation. 14. MOTOR— Open, totally enclosed fan cooled or explosion proof fan cooled motors are utilized with this design. 15. FINISH—The entire unit except inside of stack, dampers, fan assembly and motor is sprayed with a thick asphalt coating (Tradename: Spraycor) for corrosion and moisture resistance. The inside of the curb sheet and fan assembly is coated with a bitumastic asphalt base, moisture resistant paint.

In an Arrangement 4 direct drive Type AF unit (motor mounting shown above) the stack height is shorter than in an Arrangement 9 Type AF unit. Also a totally en-closed, air-over motor can be used if desired in lieu of the more ex-pensive totally enclosed fan cooled construction.
