Centrifugal Fans
Greenheck's single-width centrifugal fans are designed to provide efficient and reliable operation for commercial
and industrial applications. Our products are manufactured with state-of-the-art laser, forming, spinning and
welding equipment, and undergo quality control testing to ensure a trouble-free start-up.

Wheels
Greenheck centrifugal fans have multiple wheel options. All wheels are statically and dynamically balanced to
grade G6.3 per ANSI S2.19.
Wheel Type
Alternative Materials
Greenheck offers centrifugal fans in aluminum or stainless steel construction as an alternative to coated
steel. Aluminum construction provides advantages for applications with high moisture and various chemicals.
Aluminum also reduces the weight of the fan if there are structural concerns. Stainless steel (316L) construction
is used for environments subject to continuous high heat up to 1000ºF (538ºC) or severe corrosives. Both
aluminum or stainless steel construction can be applied to the entire fan (housing, wheel, inlet cone and drive
frame) or the airstream components (housing, wheel and inlet cone) only.
Spark-Resistant Construction
Greenheck centrifugal fans are available with spark-resistant designs suitable for applications that involve
flammable particles, fumes or vapors. Spark-resistant construction options adhere to guidelines defined within
AMCA Standard 99-0401-86.

Protective Coatings
Greenheck offers a wide variety of protective coatings suitable for corrosive applications. All coatings are
electrostatically-applied baked powders that offer a durable, long lasting finish. For more information on our
complete offering of coatings, visit www.greenheck.com and navigate to Resources/Library/Application-Articles.

our two-coat paint system offers four times the corrosion resistance of other coatings commonly available
within the fan industry.

Performance Tested
When selecting a powder coating finish for heavy-gauge welded steel fans, critical information such as
environment, moisture, exposure, abrasives, and chemicals should be considered.
Powder coatings are the best choice for most extreme applications. Major advantages over most
vendor-applied liquid coatings include:
Environments
• Superior finish with uniform coverage and thickness

• Unequaled value

Construction Options
Vibration Analysis
All centrifugal wheels undergo a computerized balance analysis to a grade of G6.3. In addition, USF 500 series
centrifugal products endure a complete mechanical vibration test after assembly. Our custom data acquisition
system uses tri-axial accelerometers to measure the vibration in three planes at the design operating speed. A
permanent record for each fan’s performance is kept on file and is available upon request.
The standard “filter-in” vibration levels attained
meet the requirements of Fan Application BV-3
as defined in AMCA Standard 204-05 “Balance
Quality and Vibration Levels for Fans”. Consult
factory if more stringent vibration levels
are necessary.

Premium Bearings
Belt drive centrifugal products are manufactured with “Air Handling Quality”
self-aligning ball or roller pillow block bearings. All bearings include zerk fittings
for relubrication and are selected for a basic rating fatigue life of L10 in excess of
80,000 hours (L50 at 400,000 hrs.) at the maximum RPM for the selected pressure
class. 400 and 500 series models utilize concentric locking collars for smoother
operation and providing superior grip force between the bearing collar and fan shaft.
For more critical applications, 500 series models offer bearings with a minimum
L10 life in excess of 200,000 hours (L50 at 1,000,000 hrs.)

Mounting Types
Direct Mount
No base required, isolators are attached directly to equipment. Direct
isolation can be used if equipment is unitary and rigid without the use of
additional support. Direct isolation is not recommended for equipment
having large overhung loads (e.g. motors on arrangement 9 fans). If there
is any doubt that equipment can be supported directly on isolators, use
bases or consult the factory.
Isolation Base
Isolation bases consist of formed steel members welded into a rigid one-
piece base. A motor slide base is included where applicable. Bases are
required for all arrangement 1 and 3 fans with independently mounted
motors. Isolation bases are available without isolators, with rubber
Isolation base mounts or with spring mounts. All formed steel bases with spring mounts

incorporate height saving brackets.
Inertia Base
Inertia bases may be desirable where isolation bases do not provide
sufficient mass or where discharge velocities cause greater reaction
forces. The additional weight of the concrete reduces the vibration
amplitude and reduces reaction forces from fan thrust and start and
stop motion. Concrete is by others.
Inertia base Note: Motor slide base is included on arrangement 1 & 3 fans.
