COFIMCO G-GR Series Fans Description
The stationary adjustable-pitch G-Series fan is a remarkable invention because of itssimplicity. Each hub is composed of two disks bolted to the central flange which isanchored to the hub of the driving shaft. Pillow blocks are inserted between the twosteel plates to enable to fix the blade shaft. Blades are made up of an airfoil sectionin aluminum alloy or fiberglass, fastened to a steel shaft or fiberglass through bolting.The root of blade shaft includes a retention pin and a regulator used to regulate fanradius.

ATTTENTION: tag referred above is just an example and does not in any waycorrespond to any data referred to an identification tag of any purchased fan.
ATTENTION: data shown on identification tag must always be referred when order-ing spare parts.
Balancing
If not otherwise requested from the beginning, all Cofimco S.r.l. fans are balanced inthe following manner:
Dynamic fan balancing, with a balance degree of G = 6.3 according to ISO 1940/1,in the case the fan is shipped out already assembled.
For a fan dispatched disassembled, the hub and the blades are statically balancedso that the reassembled unit correspond to a balance degree of G = 6.3 accordingto ISO 1940/1. In this case, the blades have the same static moment, thereforethey can be placed in any order on the hub (the blades of the same item areinterchangeable).
Storage
As soon as a Cofimco fan is delivered it is very important to administer an accurateinspection in order to verify for possible damages due to transportation. In such cases,present a claim to the transportation company and mention on the claim the relativedocuments accompanied, such as, bill of lading, insurance certificates(if any), etc.
Also, as soon as fan is delivered, please insure that components are exactly what wasordered and delivered. In a case where goods are not in compliance with what ordered,contact Cofimco within 2 weeks of delivery.
If a fan is not immediately installed, we recommend that it be kept in a closed dry place,and not place any heavy material whatsoever on the blades. In the case of storage fora long period of time, before putting the product in action, please verify the conditionof protective layer of anti-corrosion on all surfaces performed on machines.

Installation
This manual refers to COFIMCO G-GR Series Fans, installation conditions can varyin different situations.
2.1 Required tools for assembly
For assembling a fan, the following tools are required:
Dynamometric Spanner (torque wrench fig. 2.1(a)) required for fastening thebolts to a set screw torque.
Goniometric level (inclinometer fig. 2.1(b)) required for setting the blade pitchangle to the angle of design, following the procedure described in this chapter. Theaccuracy of the inclinometer must be at least 0.5 (max admissible tolerance).
(a) Torque wrench (b) Inclinometer

2.2 Fan rotation and flow direction 5
2.2 Fan rotation and flow direction
The direction of fan rotation is correct when air flow moves from pressure side to suctionside. In the example seen in figure 2.2 rotation is clockwise, seeing the side that receivesair flow; upon request, Cofimco S.r.l. can supply fans with counterclockwise rotation.
Axis of Rotation
Clockwise rotation
Flow Direction
Blade Axis
Figure 2.2: Blade rotating clockwise
2.3 Inclination of blade axis
Cofimco fan blades may present, with respect to the plane perpendicular to the axis ofrotation, a small geometric angle, in the direction from where the air flow comes from(see Fig. 2.3).
Because of this angle, the centrifugal force generates a moment of flexure opposite tothat generated from traction, reducing stress which the blades can be subject of. It istherefore necessary, while installing, in the presence of this angle, that the blade axisbe turned toward where the air flow is coming from.

Operating Instructions
3.1 Prior to start-up operations
1. Before running the fan be aware that all the parts are well fasten and there isno gap between the blade shaft and the hub; if relative movements are detectedcheck the screw torques as described on chapter 2.
2. Rotate manually the fan for at least one complete turn paying attention that fandoes not enter in contact with the fan ring structure.
3. Rotate the fan manually to check if the gap between the blade tip and the fanring is in accordance with the design ratio x/D, where x is the distance betweenthe blade tip and the fan ring and D is the fan diameter. The gap has to bemeasured along the blade main axis.
If the distance between the blade tip and the fan ring is not that of design, the fandiameter could be modified fitting the retention pin [9] in another gap regulatorslot [10].
4. Check that blade axes agree with those defined on section 2.3.
5. Check gear box oil level and belt tension to be as indicated by the manufacturer.
6. Remove all tools from area.
7. Connect motor to power supply.
8. Start the fan for few second and then switch it off. While the fan is still turning,check that the direction of the blade rotation is correct as defined on section 2.2.
3.2 Post start-up operations
1. Check the power absorption, if excessive, reduce gradually the blade pitch angleuntil the desired power absorption is reached. If lower than expected, increase
AXIAL FANS FOR THE WORLD COFIMCO G-GR Series Fans
3.2 Post start-up operations 15
gradually the blade pitch angle until the desired power absorption is reached.Update the new pitching angle on the fans of the same structure.
NOTE: a pitch angle trim of few degrees, respect to that of design, has to beconsidered normal.
ATTENTION: the power absorption varies inversely to air temperature.
2. Check that vibration level, as in the positions shown on figure 3.1, does not exceedthe most restrictive amplitude values between the limits imposed by the normativeof the structure where the fan is installed and the limit of 7 mm/s RMS (overall)measured in the frequency range 0 : 50Hz; above 50Hz and until a frequencyrange that include all the structure forcing frequencies, the limit decrease to 0.5mm/s RMS (overall). In the case one of the two limits is exceeded, shut the fandown and trace the cause of such an excessive vibration by referring to section4.3.
ATTENTION: the vibration-limit is valid for vibrations that occur along or-thogonal axis, hence vibration that remains constant along those axis (it is notvalid for rotational vibrations).
Figure 3.1: Vibrations inspection positions
3. After one working hour check the fan bolts [16] screw torque.
4. Repeat the screw torque of bolts [16] after 24 working hour from the start-up.

Preventive Measures for Maintenance
4.1 Maintenance and operations
A Inspect periodically the overall fan conditions. Inspection interval depends on fanoperating conditions and may vary from a minimum of two weeks to a maximumof six months. During these inspections check the following:
screw torque; corrosion of fasteners; general condition of blades and shafts.
It may be necessary to clean the rotor blades to ensure the fan proper balancing.
B Ice formation on the blades of operating fans must be strictly avoided.
C The presence of ice on the blades of a still fan must be removed prior to start-up to avoid damages. Snow formed on a still fan must be periodically removed,according to the quantity of snow accumulated.
D For installations with two-speed motors, when stepping down from high speedto low speed, the motor must be turned off for a suitable duration so that thefan rotation speed has slowed below the low speed full RPM, before the motor isreengaged at the low speed setting.
E If the rotation direction has to be changed, stop the fan completely before changingthe direction.
F Check the vibration level in the positions shown in figure 3.1 at regular breaks.
G Check periodically the painted parts to seek for any damages due to corrosion. Inparticular, inside the Cooling Towers, the blade leading edge is subject to heavycorrosion; for the latter case it is recommended an inspection every six months.Restore any corrosion damages, in particular those on blade leading edge.

4.2 Temperature range 17
The vibration level, as in the positions shown on figure 3.1, does not exceed the mostrestrictive amplitude values between the limits imposed by the normative of the struc-ture where the fan is installed and the limit of 7 mm/s RMS (overall) measured inthe frequency range 0 : 50Hz; above 50Hz and until a frequency range that includeall the structure forcing frequencies, the limit decrease to 0.5 mm/s RMS (overall). Inthe case one of the two limits is exceeded, shut the fan down and trace the cause ofsuch an excessive vibration by referring to section 4.3. It is suggested to record thevibrations in order to compare it to the previous one. For a correct comparison themeasurements have to be done always in the same location and in the same manner.During vibration analysis observe the standard safety procedure, in particular do notget close to a running fan but place the transducers (accelerometer) with a still fan andmake the measurements from a safety location.
NOTE: the vibration level is a good indicator of the plant conditions. It is thereforeopportune to make these measurements frequently (e.g. once a month).
ATTENTION: the vibration-limit is valid for vibrations that occur along orthogonalaxis, hence vibration that remains constant along those axis (it is not valid for rotationalvibrations).
4.2 Temperature range
COFIMCO fans are designed to operate at the following temperatures:
- 20C (-4F) with standard materials Min - 56C (-69F) with special materials
Max
Aluminum blades: + 120C (+ 248F) Fan running + 165C (+ 329F) Fan at rest Frp blades: + 80C (+ 176F) Fan running + 120C (+ 248F) Fan at rest
Table 4.1: Temperature range
4.3 Possible causes of vibration
The actual causes of vibration may vary considerably, some of the most common arethe following:
A Unbalance of one or more blades: the vibration caused by blade imbalance occurson fan rotation plane with a frequency equal to the fan RPM and at an amplitudelinearly dependent to the degree of imbalance and the square of the rotationalspeed.
AXIAL FANS FOR THE WORLD COFIMCO G-GR Series Fans
4.3 Possible causes of vibration 18
B Blade pitch angle not included in the 0.5 tolerance: this condition causes vi-bration outside the fan rotation plane at a frequency equal to the fan RPM andat an amplitude which is dependent on the square of the rotational speed.
C Blades too close to supports (periodic aerodynamic turbulence): this condition ischaracterized by vibration outside fan rotation plane at a frequency equal to theproduct of the number of fan blades and RPM. The amplitude depends upon theextent of the aerodynamic turbulence.
D Resonance between one of the possible forcing frequencies of the fan and one ormore of the vibration modes of the structure on which it is installed. The main forc-ing frequencies generated by the fan, normally correspond to the following frequen-cies:
fan RPM; product of fan RPM and the number of blades; product of fan RPM and the number of structural supports capable of gen-
erating aerodynamic turbulence (if they are arranged in an axial-geometricmanner).
E Vibration transmitted by the structure on which the fan is installed: the frequen-cies of such vibration depend on both the external forcing frequencies and theresonant frequencies of the structure.
F Resonance of the blades with one of the possible forcing frequencies: in the vastmajority of cases the vibration occurs outside of the blade rotation plane.
G Misalignment of the drive shaft: this generates vibration with a frequency that isone or two times the RPM. In most cases the vibration occurs outside the bladerotation plane.
H Loosening of blade and/or speed reducer fastening bolts: the fan behavior underthese circumstances is totally unpredictable, as it depends on the extent andlocation of the loosening.
I Output-shafts bearing that is worn out: this condition generates vibration on theblade rotation plane at a frequency equal to the rotor RPM.
J The fan and/or the structure bolts are not tightened: in this case all the boltshave to be tightened.
K The draining holes of the blades are obstructed: it is necessary to open them back.
L Incorrect hub installation: it is necessary to re-install the hub as described onsection 2.4.
M Incorrect blade installation: it is necessary to unscrew the bolts [16], pull theblades and tighten back the bolts at their proper screw torque.
AXIAL FANS FOR THE WORLD COFIMCO G-GR Series Fans
4.3 Possible causes of vibration 19
ATTENTION: the amplitude of the fan vibration is determined by the stiffness ofits support. Vibration that would not be critical to a fan supported by a sufficientlyrigid structure is amplified by an overly flexible support. This support stiffness mayalso cause unexpected variations in the resonant frequencies of the blades.

Hub Removal
ATTENTION: before removing the hub be aware that the motor electrical sourcesare disconnected, therefore motor will not be able to start. On the basis of hub typeuse the next procedures.
A.1 Standard Hub
The fan hub may be extracted with or with out the blades installed. During removaloperation the fan has to be belted in order to avoid its fall after having removed theanchoring bolts. Remove the screw [3] in the case of hub with cylindrical bore or thebushing screws in the case of its presence.
The hub removal operation can be done using the the hub-G-Series extractor (seefig.A.1), not supplied with the fan. For this operations use the following procedurereferring to figure A.1.
1 Remove two opposite bolts [16] (see part list).
2 Place a disk [504], at least 5 mm thick and with a diameter slightly smaller thanhub slot, between the screw [503] and the driving shaft; this to avoid driving shaftdamages.
3 Fasten the extractor to the hub through the bolts [501] and [502] using the slotpreviously left free.

The following rules must be observed during handling, assembling and maintenance of
painted fans and components.
- Avoid to pile (stack) the hub disks on top of each other.
In case, put a protection element (wood, rubber, plastics, etc.).
- Avoid the contact of any metal tool, chain, hook, sling, etc. with the coated surfaces of
the fans components.
- Store or lean the hubs on non abrasive surfaces.
- Avoid to roll or slide the components during handling.
- Avoid to heat up the flange above 80 C.
- Avoid the direct contact between flames and coated surfaces.
- Avoid banging or hitting the coated with any object.
- Loosen all the pillow block bolts to allow an easy introduction of the blade shank
avoiding to scratch or damage the coated surfaces.
This procedure applies to the two adjacent pillow blocks too.
- If re-pitching is required, loosen all the pillow block bolts to allow an easy rotation of
the blade avoiding to scratch or damage the coated surfaces.
This procedure applies to the two adjacent pillow blocks too.
- In case the coated surface gets damaged, apply the coating repair procedure as soon as
possible.

1 SURFACE PREPARATION
The performance of this product will depend upon the degree of surface preparation. The surface to be coated should be clean, dry
and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000
(Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products. Surface preparation methods).
Sharp edges, fillets, corners and welds shall be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8501-3:2006 (Preparation grades of
welds, cut edges and other areas with surface imperfections).
Any oil and grease contamination shall be removed prior to blasting operations in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
Sandblasting: Abrasive blast clean to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and
application, the surface should be re-blasted to the specified visual standard.
Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner.
A sharp, angular surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.
After the sandblasting treatment, the piece will be carefully cleaned by air blowing, in order to remove all traces of abrasives and
dust.

2.1 APPLICATION DETAILS
Intercure 99 must NOT be applied directly over Interzinc 52 low temperature grade cure (EPA 176)
The following MEK test MUST be carried out before the application of Intercure 99 on Interzinc 52:
o Make 4 pass with a white cotton/rug wetted by MEK solvent on Interzinc 52.
the result MUST be grade 5 or 4 as per ASTM D 4752
THINNER (Intercure 99): partial thinning with International GTA713 (or GTA056 or GTA733) only, although this would not normally
be required. The use of alternative thinners, particularly those containing alcohols, can severely affect the curing mechanism and/or
workable pot life of the coating.
2.2 MEASUREMENT OF DRY FILM THICKNESS
Individual dry film thicknesses of less than 80% of the nominal dry film thickness are not acceptable.
Individual values between 80% and 100% of the nominal dry film thickness are acceptable provided that the overall average (mean)
is equal to or greater than the nominal dry film thickness.
Care shall be taken to achieve the nominal dry film thickness and to avoid areas of excessive thickness.
It is recommended that the maximum dry film thickness is not greater than 2 times the nominal film thickness.

HUB DYNAMICAL BALANCING -
SERIES G-GR
1.0 PREPARATION OF THE BALANCING MACHINE 1.1 Use the dynamical balancing machine ZD 1000 (S/N 3696 ) or equivalent. 1.2 Clean the machine and the working area before to start to set the machine. All the materials that could obstacle the operator work must be removed from the working area. Check that the safety devices are fully operative. 1.3 Install the shaft suitable for the hub bore dimension. 1.4 Connect the transmission shaft. 1.5 Balance the shaft. 1.6 Install the hub to be balanced (upper and lower disk, pillow blocks and bolts duly assembled), lock it to the shaft. 1.7 Set the distance from the rotation axis where the balancing weight will be applied.
2.0 HUB BALANCING 2.1 Be sure that the safety device are set and that nobody is in the area near to the machine. 2.2 Start the machine. 2.3 Increase the speed till the design one.
2.4 The machine display shows, using a 1 to 100 angular scale, the point where the balancing weight has to be applied.
2.5 The machine display shows the value of the balancing weight to be applied. The weight has to be applied only if its value is higher that the maximum unbalance value. This is calculated using the following formula:
RNW
G hub10
where: Whub - hub weight [g] G - balancing degree [mms-1] N - design speed [rpm] R - distance of the unbalancing from the rotation axis
[mm]
2.6 The balancing weight has to be applied only if the value shown by the display is higher than the maximum unbalance value. The weight is applied in the position shown by the display. 2.7 Repeat the points from 2.3 to 2.6 till the unbalancing value shown by the display is lower than the maximum unbalance value (calculated in accordance to the point 2.5)
