Air-x-changers has prepared this manual for the care and up keep of your
cooler. With these simple instructions and a few tools, the owner can perform many
maintenance and light repair procedures such as tightening the V-belts, checking fan
blade angle, greasing bearings, setting the vibration switch, and cleaning fins and
tubes. If more information is needed about a specific component we recommend
that you refer to the attached specific manufactures maintenance instructions i.e.
(motors, fans, and bearings).
Because this manual covers several cooler styles and sizes, the instructions
outlined are general in nature. This should be noted when looking at any illustration
or parts of the manual that may not apply to your cooler.
Loose Parts
The parts list should be checked to see that all parts shipped with the cooler
are present. These parts may be secured to the skid base (if so designed) or inside
the plenum area. Basically this cooler is completely shop assembled and no
assembly at the job-site is required,
but occasionally special accessory devices will be required which must be shipped
disassembled to meet height or width limitations.
UNLOADING COOLER
Spreader bars are to be used
for lifting when the cooler is eight (8)
feet. The cooler is supplied with lifting
points to be used for off loading from
carrier. Lifting by any other point may
cause damage to the cooler.
Following are some suggested ways of
lifting. Locate the picture which
resembles the type of unit you have
and use as a guide on how to unload
and handle the cooler properly. (See
unit name plate for unit type i.e. EH, H,
FI, etc.)

TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT DRIVER BEFORE ENTERING COOLER
PRIOR TO RUN-IN
NOTE: Check all nuts and bolts for tightness, bolting will loosen during
shipment.
Fans
Check fan blade bolts and hub set screws for tightness. Rotate fan by hand to
insure that shaft, speed reducer, and driver turn freely. The fan should be checked
for adequate tip clearance and blade pitch angle. Slight adjustment of the tip
clearance can be made by loosening the fan shaft bearing bolts and moving the
complete fan and fan shaft assembly until it is centered in the ring. To check the fan
blade angle, use a level bubble protractor (this can be obtained from the factory).
Loosen the nuts on the bolts and place the protractor on the angle setting mark or
the clevis (refer to fan manufactures information for proper location). Using a mallet
tap on the shank end of the blade to adjust the angle. Tighten fan blade bolts to the
proper torque (refer to manufactures maintenance instructions) making sure to
tighten evenly. Recheck blade angle. Some coolers are equipped with an automatic
fan. These fans have blade angles controlled by varying the air supply pressure. Air
pressure should be applied by to the fan before starting to check for proper
operation. Before starting, the motor should be bumped to check for proper direction
of fan rotation.
Bearings
Bearing mounting bolts and set screws should be checked for
tightness. The manufacturer lubricates the bearings and no additional grease is
necessary to start. When remote lube lines are provided check to insure they are
full by loosening at the bearing end, then fill with grease from fitting end. This will
insure that the grease lines are full of grease. During high-speed operation too
much grease will cause over heating. To protect bearings against entrance of
foreign material when dust and water are present the bearings should contain as
much grease as speed will allow. Daily lubrication may be required to maintain a
slight leakage at the seals. Under normal conditions use the following table as a
guide. However, certain conditions may require a change of lubrication periods such
as the ones described above.

V-Belts
On coolers with an idler or electric motor, the belts should be adjusted
before run-in. First, loosen the four (4) bolts, which clamp the motor to the slide
member, or the four (4) bolts, which secure the motor to the slide base. Then,
using the adjustment screw, take the slack out of the belts. Following the
instructions below on using the tension tester to properly tension the belts.
2. Position the lower of the two O-rings using either of the following methods:
a. On the scale reading ‘Deflection Inches’, set the o-ring to show a
deflection equal to 1/64” per inch of span length (t).
b. On the scale reading ‘Inches of Span Length’, set the O-ring to show a
deflection equal to the inches of measured span length (t).
NOTE: Read scales at bottom edge of O-ring in maximum up position.
3. At center of span (t) apply force, with tension tester perpendicular to the span,
large enough to deflect one belt on the drive until the bottom edge of the lower O-
ring is even with the tops of the remaining belts. A straight edge across the tops
of the belts will insure accuracy of positioning.
4. Find the amount of deflection force on upper scale of tension tester. The
Sliding Rubber O-ring “slides down scale as tool compresses”—stays down for
accurate readings of pounds pressure. Read at top edge of ring. (Sliding ring up
before re-using).
Gear Drives
Gears are shipped with or without oil depending on the manufacture and
must be checked before start-up. Some gears are shipped ‘over-filled’ and the
oil must be drained to the proper level. Fill gear with approved grade oil (refer to
manufactures information for listings of recommended oils).
V-Belts
Run fan and check the tension frequently during the first twenty-four (24)
hours of operation. Thereafter, check the belt tension periodically. Excessive
tension shortens belt and bearing life. Keep belts and sheaves clean of ant
foreign material, which may cause slippage. For instructions on proper belt
tension see V-BELTS page 7.
Gear Drives
Change the original oil after two weeks of operation by draining the
original oil and filling to operating level with flushing oil. Start the fan and shut it
immediately after it reaches operating speed. Drain flushing oil and fill with the
recommended type and amount of oil. Normally the oil should be changed every
six (6) months unless subjected to unusual operating conditions. Check the oil
level once a week. Level is accurate only when drive is stopped. Grease the
vertical and horizontal shafts annually under normal operating conditions. For
more information refer to manufactures maintenance instructions.
Process Start-up
The process start-up should be conducted in a manner that will minimize
thermal shock of the tube bundles. Over cooling of fluids during periods of low
ambient temperature and low heat loads should also be avoided during start up.
Plugs
Header plugs are installed at room temperature in our plant. To correct
any minor leaking, it may be necessary to tighten the plugs when the bundle is at
operating temperature. WARNING: Do not tighten plugs while the bundle is
under pressure. If any plugs are removed, the gasket (for shoulder plugs only)
should always be replaced. Replacement gaskets should be ordered from the
factory. When installing the plugs, a thread lubricant and antigalling compound
should be used.
LONG TERM
Fin Cleaning
Fins should be kept free of dirt and lint, which can be removed by directing
compressed air perpendicular to the tubes in a direction opposite to the normal
airflow. Do not use steam or chemicals to clean fins.
Tube Cleaning
The internal cleaning of tubes can be done three different ways:
1. Mechanical Cleaning:
This consists of using drills, (or wire brushes), on long rods. And rotating
them with air or electric motors. This is normally followed by a water wash or air
purge.
2. Chemical Cleaning:
This consists of circulating hot chemical solution through the tubes. The
solution contains inhibitors to avoid corrosion of the tube walls.
NOTE: The last two processes will not work on tubes that are plugged, they
must be drilled out mechanically.
Leaking Tubes
Tube leaks can be two types: (1) leaks through the tube wall and (2) leaks
in the tube attachment. In the first case it is most practical to plug both ends of
the tube. Only a limited number of tubes can be sealed off in this manner before
performance is affected. When performance drops below acceptable limits, tube
bundle must be retubed. If leaks develop in the tube end attachment, rerolling of
the tube will be necessary. Care must be taken in selecting the proper tube
expander for the size and gauge of tube to be rolled. When rolling a tube, over-
rolling must be avoided. Consult the factory for information on taper pins to plug
the tubes and roller tube sizes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TAPER PINS FOR SEALING
LEAKING TUBES
1. Remove plug from one end of leaking tube (do not switch plugs in holes).
2. Insert taper pin through plug hole into tube and tap lightly with hammer until
seated firmly, but not too tight to be removed.
3. Measure plug for depth it was originally screwed into the plug sheet.
4. Measure the distance that the tape pin protrudes from the plug sheet in
seated position.
5. Add the distance measured in Steps 3 and 4 then subtract 1/8”. This will be
the length which should be cut off the large end of the taper pin
NOTE: If the plug removed does not seal replace it and the gasket if so
equipped.
Recommended Spare Parts
We suggest that one each of the parts, which are designated by an
asterisk (*) on the parts list be carried in your stock of spare parts. The down
time caused by waiting for delivery of a spare part usually cost more in lost
production or service than the cost of the part itself.
Spare parts orders should be specified in accordance with the parts list
description and the Job number of the unit.
Tubes
Tubes are to be inspected for internal and external corrosion and/or
erosion periodically. This depends on the severity of service and atmosphere
that the tubes are in. Inspection of the tubes should be performed every six
months. Tube wall thickness can be checked externally using the ultrasonic
technique.
Fans
Fans should be inspected for wear (pitting, cracks and corrosion) on all
surfaces. These inspections should be preformed every six months. In addition
to surface inspections, all bolts and nuts must be checked for proper torque.
Motors
The motors should be kept free of oil, dust, dirt, water and chemicals. It is
particularly important to keep the air intake openings free of foreign material. Do
not block air outlet or inlet. The following
maintenance procedures should be performed regularly:
1. Bearing lubrication
2. Insulation resistance check
3. Cleaning
These inspections should be done at least every six (6) months.
Bearings
In addition to bearing checks as recommended by the manufacture; the
mounting bolts should be checked for proper torque and alignment. These
checks should be done at least every six (6) months.
Structure
A general inspection of the structure should be performed every six (6)
months. This inspection should include checks for corrosion, damaged members
and sheeting, and for loose bolting.
Headers
Headers should be inspected for corrosion. This corrosion should not be
allowed to proceed past the stated corrosion allowance as stated on the
specification sheet.

when required may result in blade overload. The causes of
improper blade loading are explained in Section 4.3 of this
manual. Section 4.4 "Checking Blade Load" provides a simple
method of determining the maximum blade angle allowable
in terms of static pressure vs blade angle. Please refer to these
sections before increasing blade angle.
To adjust, loosen the Clamp Nut just enough to allow
the blade to be turned. Place a inclinometer on the flat surface
of the mounts end as shown in the illustration at right. Turn
the blade until the desired angle is achieved.. Make a
permanent record of the final angle selected and take care
that all blades on the fan are set at the same angle. A typical
adjustment may be +/ - 3o. The maximum recommended
blade angle is 30o .
Retighten the Clamp Nut to 18 ft-lbs (2.5 m-kg).
Recheck each blade angle before tightening.

4.5.2 WIND
With a vertically mounted fan blowing outward
into the wind and surrounded by a short fan ring or stack,
high winds may cause some concern. The farther the ring
extends beyond the fan, the less effect would be expected
from wind. It is a fact, however, that wind across the face
of the ring will affect the direction of air flow well down
into the ring. In the case of a fan installed near the outlet hour) with a horizontal component of wind velocity (VW)
