fan coil unit components

A fan coil unit (fcu) is a cooling system consisting of a heating or cooling coil and a fan. Warm air from the conditioned room is drawn into the fan coil unit, where it is cooled and dehumidified using chilled water before being supplied back into the conditioned room. The fcu’s are equipped with filters that clean the air and hence reduce the level of airborne contamination within the air conditioned space. By using fan coil units, rooms can be cooled individually. They are controlled by a thermostat.Fan coil units by Heinen & Hopman are designed to operate in the maritime and offshore industry where high standards are required. Energy-saving technology, a brushless motor combined with an inverter, is applied to our fan coil units to obtain extremely low electrical absorption and a continuous modulation of the air flow, related to the energy needs in the room. Compared to units with asynchronous 3-speed motors, the fan coil units with brushless motors will reduce the power consumption up to 70%.

A formal schedule of regular maintenance and an individual unit log should be established and maintained to extract the maximum performance and service life from each unit. And, as always, before doing any inspection or maintenance on an electronic unit, turn the equipment off and lock out the power source before beginning your work. Direct Drive Motor /Blower Maintenance The type of fan operation is determined by the control components and their method of wiring, and may vary from unit to unit. Refer to the wiring diagram that’s attached to each unit for that unit’s operating characteristics. Motors equipped with oiler tubes may be lubricated with a 20-weight non-detergent oil. The frequency of the lubrication is dependent upon the operating conditions of the motor. Units subject to frequent fan cycling, or those that operate in a dirty environment, require more attention than those subject to less severe operation. Motors should be lubricated at least once per year. Some motor designs don’t require field lubrication.

Keep in mind that over-oiling has been shown to reduce motor life. Should the motor/blower assembly require more extensive service than simply lubrication, the assembly may be removed from the unit to facilitate such operations as motor or blower wheel/housing replacement. Don’t allow dirt and dust to accumulate on the blower wheel or housing. This can result in an unbalanced blower wheel condition that can damage a blower wheel or motor. The wheel and housing may be cleaned periodically using a vacuum cleaner and brush, taking care not to dislodge the factory balancing weights on the blower wheel blades. When replacing motors, be sure to verify that the motor voltage, phase, and horsepower are correct for the unit being installed. Belt-drive Motor/ Blower Maintenance Recommended periodic maintenance of the belt drive unit/blower assembly is lubrication of the motor (if required) and inspection of the drive belt for wear and tension. The blower hub set screws, sheave and bearing locking collar set screws must be checked periodically, and tightened and torqued as required.

The blower shaft bearings are usually permanently sealed and lubricated ball bearings, and no attempt should be made to disassemble or lubricate these bearings. As with a direct-drive motor, dirt and dust shouldn’t be allowed to accumulate on the blower wheel or housing. Factory motors without regreasing capability are lubricated by the motor manufacturer for normal bearing life. Refer to the motor manufacturer’s instruction tag for additional information. In motors equipped with grease fittings, clean the tip of the fitting and apply the grease gun. Use one to two full strokes on motors in NEMA 215 frames and smaller, and two to three full strokes on NEMA 254 or 256 frame motors. On motors that have drain plugs, remove the drain plug and operate the motor for 20 minutes before replacing the drain plug. Be sure to wipe up any excess/purged grease. V-belt Installation & Replacement When your inspection uncovers a belt that’s dried out, cracked, or simply has reached replacement time on the maintenance schedule, change it carefully.

This is a simple and familiar procedure, but doing it in a haphazard way can cause big problems in a short time. When tensioning the belts, remember that the key to long, efficient, trouble-free belt operation is proper tension. Follow this tensioning guideline: the proper tension for a V-belt is the lowest tension at which the belt won’t slip or squeal under peak load. To tension belts, adjust the center distance until the belt appears fairly taut. When struck with your hand, properly tensioned belts will bounce back with a springy motion. Run the drive for about 15 minutes to seat the belts, then apply full load. If the belts slip or squeal, apply more tension. When the drive is in motion, a slight sag on the slack side is normal. Coil Maintenance Coils on most fan coil units can be cleaned by removing the motor/blower assemblies and brushing the entire air face between fins with a stiff brush. Brushing should be followed by a thorough vacuuming. If a compressed air source is available, the coil may also be cleaned by blowing air through the coil fins from the exiting air face.

Keep in mind that units with the proper type of air filters, replaced regularly, will require less frequent coil cleaning. Which brings us to filter maintenance. Filter Maintenance On units with throwaway filters, the time interval between each replacement should be established based on regular inspection of the filter, and should be recorded in the log for each unit. Filters should be the same type and size as those furnished from or recommended by the factory. Pleated media or extended surface filters should generally not be used, because the high air pressure drops encountered with these types of filters is often not compatible with fan coil units. On units with permanent filters, a maintenance schedule should be developed in the same manner as for throwaway filters. Factory installed permanent filters may be cleaned in hot soapy water, set on edge to dry, and then reinstalled in the unit. Before replacing a permanent filter in a unit, recharge it with an entrapment oil or film. Spray both sides of the coil, or submerge it in the film, to ensure complete coverage.

Don’t allow the filter to soak in the film; remove it immediately and drain the excess film from the filter before reinstalling it in the unit. Permanent filters typically create less static pressure loss than throwaway filters. When replacing a throwaway filter with a permanent one, check the fan motor amperage to ensure that the motor hasn’t been placed in an overload condition. It may be necessary to reduce the fan driven speed or rebalance the system. Drain Maintenance Check the drain at the beginning of each cooling season to ensure that the drain trap and line are clear. If they’re clogged, clear any debris so that condensate will flow easily. Check the drain periodically during the cooling season. Units equipped with a secondary or “tell tale” drain connection will indicate a clogged main drain by flow from the tell tale connection. Check with your local supply houses for a chemical available to control algae or bacteria in drain pans. Electrical Wiring and Controls The electrical operation of each unit is determined by the components and wiring of the unit, and may vary from unit to unit.
