Performance
Troubleshooting


We Are There When You Need Us.

Centrifugal fans are essential equipment in any industrial environment, but they’re not the primary focus of the business. That means you need an industrial fan troubleshooting plan to identify and handle any issues quickly when they arise, and before they become serious – if possible.

The easiest and most reliable way to handle industrial fan troubleshooting is to follow your Installation, Operations, and Maintenance (IOM), including following a regular preventative maintenance schedule, and call a trusted application engineer when you find issues to facilitate optimal resolution.

The Basics
of Industrial Fan Troubleshooting

In a comprehensive blog post and video, we offered five steps to identify the issues and find solutions through industrial fan troubleshooting. Here are the five steps:

  1. Check fan rotation and speed
  2. Collect key measurements and information
  3. Plot the ideal fan curve and horsepower curve
  4. Compare ideal to actual readings and review installation photos
  5. Have an application engineer inspect the fan and system directly

Read on to see details of each step: What to Check

Key Measurements and Information

The second item on the five steps to troubleshoot a fan is to collect key measurements and information. In another helpful blog and video, we outlined the information and measurements you need, including:

  • Optimal and Max Speed
  • Air Density
  • Amp Draw
  • Static Pressure Differential
  • Fan Curve from the Fan Manufacturer – (provides static pressure, volume, and horsepower consumption under perfect conditions)

Refer to our Centrifugal Fan Troubleshooting blog and video for more details to prepare for your process.
