VII. STEP 7 — ADJUST EVAPORATOR-FAN SPEED

Adjust evaporator-fan rpm to meet jobsite conditions.

For units with electric heat, required minimum cfm is 2250 for 551B090 and 102 and 3000 for 551B120 and 150. See Table 8 for exceptions.

2.Slide fan pulley along fan shaft.

3.Make angular alignment by loosening motor from mounting plate.

To adjust belt tension:

1.Loosen fan motor mounting nuts.

2.Size 090 — Slide motor mounting plate away from fan

scroll for proper belt tension (1/2-in. deflection with 8 to 10 lb of force) and tighten mounting nuts (see Fig. 37).

Sizes 102-150Slide motor mounting plate down- ward to tighten belt tension. Secure motor mounting

plate nuts. See Fig. 38. Use 1/2-in. deflection with 10 lb of force.

3.Adjust bolt and nut on mounting plate to secure motor in fixed position.

Tables 9 and 10 show fan rpm at motor pulley settings for standard and high-static motors. Tables 11 and 12 show evaporator-fan motor data. See Tables 13 and 14 and Fig. 36 for accessory and option static pressure drops. Refer to Tables 15-28 to determine fan speed settings.

Fan motor pulleys are factory set for speed shown in Table 1.

To change fan speeds:

1.Shut off unit power supply and install lockout tag.

2.Loosen belt by loosening fan motor mounting nuts. See Fig. 37 and 38.

3.Loosen movable pulley flange setscrew (see Fig. 39).

4.Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase rpm or away from fixed flange to decrease rpm. Increasing fan rpm increases load on motor. Do not exceed maximum speed specified in Table 1.

5.Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub and tighten setscrew. (See Table 1 for speed change for each full turn of pulley flange.)

To align fan and motor pulleys:

1. Loosen fan pulley setscrews.

Bryant 551B VII. Adjust EVAPORATOR-FAN Speed, Minimum Required Airflow Exceptions, Unit Heater Required Config, Uration

551B specifications

The Bryant 551B and 551C are two highly efficient air conditioning units designed to provide optimal comfort in residential settings. Known for their reliability and performance, these models are part of Bryant's esteemed line of heating and cooling solutions.

One of the standout features of the Bryant 551B is its two-stage cooling system, which allows for better humidity control and increased comfort. This ensures that homeowners can enjoy consistent temperatures while reducing energy consumption. The unit operates quietly, thanks to its noise-reducing technology, making it an ideal choice for bedrooms and living spaces.

On the other hand, the Bryant 551C builds upon this foundation with its variable-speed compressor. This technology allows the unit to adjust its cooling output according to the specific needs of the home. This results in seamless operation and even greater energy efficiency. Both models also incorporate Bryant's advanced control capabilities, which allow users to monitor and adjust settings remotely via smart devices, adding a layer of convenience and modernity to home climate control.

With an emphasis on durability, both the 551B and 551C feature a galvanized steel cabinet that protects against weather-related damage. The powder coat finish further enhances their resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan and minimal maintenance.

Another significant characteristic of these units is their excellent Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. The 551B boasts a SEER rating of up to 16, while the 551C takes it even further with ratings exceeding 20. This efficiency not only translates to lower energy bills for homeowners but also contributes to a reduced carbon footprint, making these units environmentally friendly options.

Both models are also designed to operate with eco-friendly refrigerants, aligning with modern energy standards and regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In summary, the Bryant 551B and 551C are exemplary choices for homeowners looking for reliable, efficient, and high-performing air conditioning solutions. With features such as two-stage and variable-speed compressors, advanced smart technology, and robust construction, these models stand out in the competitive HVAC market. They promise a comfortable indoor environment along with significant energy savings, making them a wise investment for the future.
