Vari-Green®Options

Demand Control Ventilation for

Multistory Buildings

Applications requiring constant pressure or variable volume can utilize SQ fans with Vari-Green motors and Vari-Green controls.

Demand control ventilation systems reduce the amount of energy used by decreasing the speed of the fan when demand is low. This in turn lessens the amount

of conditioned air exhausted and further reduces total operating costs associated with air conditioning and heating in multistoried buildings such as: hotels, multifamily complexes, institutional facilities, and high rise commercial buildings.

Vari-Green®Controls

Transformer - Provides 24V power from the existing line voltage at the fan to the Vari-Green motor and controls. Dual voltage primary (120/240V) transformer provided with the fan.

Remote Dial - Allows for remote, manual airflow adjustments. Wall plate with dial may be mounted in a standard 2x4 inch electrical junction box.

Two Speed Control with Integral Transformer Control allows motor rpm to be set at two independent speeds (high or low). Meets minimum airflow requirements with the ability to bump up to high speed in emergency or meet maximum airflow requirements, or reset down to low for energy conservation.

Constant Pressure Control-Indoor - Control Vari- Green motor via static (variable volume) or velocity (constant CFM) pressure on the inlet or outlet side of the fan. Optional, one or two, duct or room probes for use in:

Multifamily structures - Apartments, condos, hotels; dryers, residential kitchens and bathrooms.

Institutional facilities - Schools, prisons, multistory office buildings; bathrooms.

The Vari-Green constant pressure control is pre- programed and easy to install for applications that include: venting dryers, bathrooms, residential type kitchen space or industrial process exhaust.

SQ/BSQ specifications

The Greenheck Fan SQ/BSQ series represents a significant advancement in the realm of ventilation solutions, designed to cater to both commercial and industrial applications. With an emphasis on performance, efficiency, and reliability, these fans have become a go-to choice for engineers and contractors alike.

One of the main features of the SQ/BSQ series is their advanced airflow design. The fans are engineered with high-performance backward-inclined blades, which not only optimize airflow but also minimize noise levels, making them ideal for settings where quiet operation is essential. This design allows the SQ/BSQ fans to handle a wide range of static pressures, delivering consistent airflow even in varying conditions.

Another notable characteristic of the SQ/BSQ fans is their robust construction. Made with high-quality materials, these fans are built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. The casings are typically constructed from galvanized steel, with optional coatings available for enhanced corrosion resistance. This durability ensures long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Equipped with the latest motor technology, the SQ/BSQ series offers energy-efficient options that comply with various energy standards. The fans utilize a range of motor types, including premium efficiency and electronically commutated motors (ECM), which contribute to lower operating costs and reduced energy consumption. This focus on energy efficiency aligns with increasing regulatory requirements and environmental considerations.

The SQ/BSQ series also embraces advanced control technologies. Through the integration of variable frequency drives (VFD), users can achieve precise control over fan speed and airflow, allowing for better system optimization. This capability is particularly beneficial in applications where airflow demands fluctuate, ensuring that energy usage remains efficient.

Lastly, Greenheck has prioritized ease of installation and maintenance with the SQ/BSQ models. The fans are designed to facilitate quick installation, featuring accessible service points for maintenance tasks. This ease of access helps reduce downtime and improves overall operational efficiency.

In summary, the Greenheck Fan SQ/BSQ series combines advanced airflow design, robust construction, energy-efficient motor technology, and intelligent control options to deliver a comprehensive and reliable ventilation solution. Whether used in commercial buildings, warehouses, or industrial facilities, these fans stand out for their performance and versatility, making them a preferred choice in the ventilation market.
