General Safety Information

Only qualified personnel should install this fan system. Personnel should have a clear understanding of these instructions and should be aware of general safety precautions. Improper installation can result in electric shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other considerations may be required if high winds or seismic activity are present. If more information is needed, contact a licensed professional engineer before moving forward.

1.Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in Canada.

2.The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary objects.

3.Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.

4.Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed significantly effects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor current should be checked to make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

5.Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals. Replace cord immediately if damaged.

6.Verify that the power source is compatible with the equipment.

7.Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is running.

DANGER

Always disconnect power before working on or near a fan. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker to prevent accidental power up.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

Vektor-HS, Vektor-H specifications

Greenheck Fan Corporation, a leader in air movement and control equipment, has developed the Vektor-H and Vektor-HS series to meet the growing demands for energy efficiency and performance in commercial and industrial ventilation systems. These models are specifically designed to provide optimal airflow while minimizing energy consumption.

The Vektor-H model stands out with its innovative backward-inclined centrifugal fan wheel, which effectively handles air volumes ranging from 1,000 to 150,000 CFM. This design minimizes turbulence and enhances performance, ensuring quiet operation even at high speeds. The Vektor-H also features a direct drive option that eliminates the need for belts and sheaves, reducing maintenance while increasing reliability. The inclusion of a high-efficiency motor further exemplifies its commitment to energy savings.

On the other hand, the Vektor-HS, or High-Static version, is designed for applications requiring higher static pressure. This capability makes it ideal for systems where long duct runs or highly restrictive applications are involved. With airflow capabilities similar to the Vektor-H, the Vektor-HS is capable of operating efficiently in conditions that demand advanced pressure performance.

Both models come equipped with Greenheck’s advanced controls and monitoring systems, which provide real-time data on performance metrics. These features allow facility managers to optimize the system based on actual operating conditions, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Technologically, the Vektor-H and Vektor-HS series utilize advanced acoustic design principles, which significantly reduce noise levels. The application of sound-dampening materials and strategically designed fan casings helps in achieving a quieter working environment, addressing one of the common concerns in HVAC systems.

Furthermore, the Greenheck Vektor series is built with durability in mind. The construction involves heavy-gauge steel and corrosion-resistant finishes, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments. Both the Vektor-H and Vektor-HS are also customizable, allowing for modifications to meet specific application requirements, such as different mounting configurations and discharge orientations.

In summary, the Greenheck Vektor-H and Vektor-HS series represent the fusion of advanced technology with practical applications, resulting in efficient, durable, and quiet ventilation solutions suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial settings. These models not only address the current needs for energy efficiency and performance but also position users favorably for future advancements in HVAC technology.
