Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause

Corrective Action

 

 

 

 

Wheel rubbing inlet

Adjust wheel and/or inlet cone. Tighten wheel hub or

 

bearing collars on shaft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tighten sheaves on motor/fan shaft. Adjust belt tension.

 

V-belt drive

Align sheaves properly (see procedure). Replace worn

Excessive noise

 

belts or sheaves.

 

Bearings

Replace defective bearing(s). Lubricate bearings.

 

Tighten collars and fasteners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wheel unbalance

Clean all dirt off wheel. Check wheel balance, replace if

 

necessary.

 

 

 

Fan

Check wheel for correct rotation. Check blade position

Low CFM

of bypass air plenum (BAP) damper, increase fan speed.*

 

 

Duct system

Higher pressure than design. Filters need replacement.

 

 

 

 

Fan

Decrease fan speed.

High CFM

 

 

Duct system

Increase BAP damper blade open position. Resize

 

ductwork. Access door, filters, dampers not installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Duct system has more

Change obstructions in system. Use correction factor

 

to adjust for temperature/altitude. Adjust set point used

Static pressure wrong

or less restriction than

to control BAP damper modulation. Resize ductwork.

 

anticipated

 

Clean filters/coils. Change fan speed.*

 

 

 

Fan

Check rotation of wheel. Reduce fan speed.

High horsepower

 

 

Duct system

Resize ductwork. Check proper operation of isolation

 

and bypass dampers. Check filters and access doors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electrical supply

Check fuses/circuit breakers. Check for switches turned

 

off or disconnected. Check for correct supply voltage.

 

 

 

 

 

Fan doesn’t operate

Drive

Check for broken belts. Tighten loose pulleys.

 

 

 

 

Motor

Assure motor is correct horsepower and not tripping

 

overload protector.

 

 

 

Lubrication

Check for excessive or insufficient grease in the bearing.

Overheated bearing

 

 

Mechanical

Replace damaged bearing. Relieve excessive belt

 

tension. Align bearings. Check for bent shaft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Belts

Adjust tightness of belts. Replacement belts should be a

 

matched set.

 

 

 

 

 

Excessive vibration

 

Check alignment of shaft, motor and pulleys. Adjustable

 

pitch pulleys with motors over 15 hp are especially

 

System unbalance

 

prone to unbalance. Check wheel balance, rebalance if

 

 

 

 

necessary.

 

 

 

*Always check motor amps and compare to nameplate rating. Excessive fan speed may overload the motor and result in motor failure. Do not exceed the maximum cataloged rpm of the fan.
