Features and Benefits

Super Q II Plus

More than twenty years after the introduction of the Model Q, it still retains its reputation as one of the quietest HVAC fans in the world.This tradition of excellence continues with the introduction of a new Q fan acoustical enclosure and duct silencer so effective and so compact that we named it the Super Q II.

Super Q II Fan

Available with Model Q fans from 1,000 to 43,000 cfm, the Super Q II enclosure inhibits radiated fan and motor noise from entering the surrounding space. It internally isolates the fan on high deflection spring isolators so ductwork can be connected directly to the enclosure. It is uniquely designed to be floor or ceiling mounted with ease.

Although the Model Q needs very little maintenance, future maintenance requirements were considered by Super Q II designers. Every unit has the bearing grease lines extended through the casing and every unit has two full size access panels that provide complete access to all internal components.

Variable Air Volume Compatible

The Super Q fan is modulated for VAV with variable frequency drives (by others), not with inlet vanes. Variable speed inverter fan modulation offers exceptional energy saving and exceptionally quiet part load operation. VAV variable speed Q fans are structurally reinforced to handle the uneven harmonic loadings associated with variable speed fan operation. In addition, the factory gives variable speed Q fans a precise, 10-point balance to further help assure trouble- free operation. Only constant pitch drives should be used with variable frequency inverters.

Super Q II Accessories

Inlet screen — safety accessory mounted to fan inlet. Heavy, plated steel wire

Inlet bellmouth — used with unducted or plenum applications. Improves air flow and reduces noise.

Inlet silencer (long or short) — rigid connection to Super Q fan

Outlet flow stabilization screen — small mesh outlet screen. Helps offset effect of poor outlet airflow conditions

Outlet silencer (short or long) — flex connected to Q fan

Variable frequency inverter balancing and reinforcement (frequency inverter by others). This option requires constant pitch drives.

Outlet screen — safety accessory mounted to fan outlet. Heavy, plated steel wire.
