Receiving

Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Traffic Department. If damaged upon arrival, file

a claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

Handling

When lifting the unit to the roof, securely fasten straps to the drive frame located in the motor compartment. Access to the motor compartment is accomplished by removing bolts securing the hood to the base. The hood cover will need to be removed for access to the drive frame. The cover can then be removed and placed on a flat surface in an area protected from strong winds.

When unit is on the roof, move fan to desired location and fasten securely through mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary depending upon roof material thickness.

The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to final electrical connection. Electrical lead-in wires should be run through the conduit provided between the curb and the bottom of the motor compartment. Wiring must conform to local and national codes.

CAUTION

Do not lift by the fan hood. Avoid lifting fans in a way that will bend or distort fan parts. Never pass slings or timbers through the venturi of fan. Fans with special coatings or paints must be protected in handling to prevent damage.

Storage

Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories

while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

Indoor

The ideal environment for the storage of fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C), wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts. All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to remove any moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches (89 mm) off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.

Outdoor

Fans designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.

The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so it is above water and snow levels and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking supports so rain water will run off.

Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles. Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.

Inspection and Maintenance During Storage

While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed. If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.

LBP, LD AND LDP, Series L Models LB specifications

Greenheck's Fan Series L Models—LB, LD, LDP, and LBP—are engineered to provide efficient and reliable ventilation solutions for commercial and industrial applications. These fan models stand out due to their high-performance capabilities, advanced technology, and customizable features that meet various system requirements.

One of the key characteristics of the L Model series is its construction quality. These fans are built using robust materials that ensure longevity and durability, making them suitable for harsh operating environments. Additionally, the aerodynamic design of the fan blades enhances airflow while minimizing noise, leading to a quieter operation, which is particularly beneficial in places like schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

The LB series is particularly designed for general ventilation applications and incorporates a broad range of features. It includes a wide selection of fan sizes and capacities, allowing businesses to select the ideal model that suits their specific airflow and pressure needs. The inline belt drive setup is adjustable, offering flexibility in performance tuning based on application requirements.

For those with more stringent noise requirements, the LD model is specifically engineered for low-noise operations. The LD series incorporates acoustic materials and optimized blade designs that significantly reduce operational noise levels, making it perfect for noise-sensitive environments, such as healthcare facilities.

On the other hand, the LDP model emphasizes high-performance static efficiency. This model is particularly effective for applications requiring high pressure. With direct drive motors, the LDP fans deliver reliable performance with reduced maintenance needs. The design minimizes failure areas, making it a dependable choice over traditional belt-driven fans.

Lastly, the LBP fans are designed for building pressure applications, making them ideal for spaces that require controlled environments or negative and positive pressure situations. The robust motor options provided in this series enhance operational capabilities across various conditions.

All models in the Greenheck L Series come equipped with advanced technologies, including variable frequency drive (VFD) compatibility. This feature enables users to adjust fan speed based on changes in airflow requirements, further improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.

Overall, the Greenheck Fan Series L Models—LB, LD, LDP, and LBP—represent a culmination of advanced engineering and user-centric design, delivering superior performance, energy efficiency, and durability tailored to a wide range of ventilation needs across various industries.
