IN-LINE VENTILATORS
VENTERGY® SERIES FANS IOM READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Product Description
Entergy® Series In-line Ventilator Fans represent years of engineering
development to combine the energy efficiency and sound performance of a
forward-curved fan with the durability and pressure characteristics of a
backward-inclined impeller fan.
VS Series In-line Ventilators are highly versatile, continuous-duty rated fans
for residential and light commercial applications. The VS4, VS6, and VS6 MAX
meet ENERGY STAR efficiency criteria for low energy consumption.
The most popular use is exhaust ventilation of bathrooms, kitchens, laundry
rooms, and garages with the principal advantage of eliminating the high noise
levels found in traditional fans. With the increasingly tight construction of
energy-efficient buildings, there is a growing need for mechanical ventilation
for indoor air quality. These fans are designed to serve this purpose by
providing effective bathroom ventilation with a provision to run the fan
intermittently or continuously. Quiet, continuous duty, energy- efficient,
external-rotor motors with permanently sealed bearings provide many years of
maintenance-free performance.
Construction
VS Series fans are constructed of heavy-gauge galvanized steel to prevent corrosion caused by moisture. The cabinet is internally lined with an acoustic, closed-cell foam insulation that acts as a vapor barrier. This allows installation directly above living spaces or in unheated plenums without concern for noise or condensation.
Controls
The fans can be operated manually or automatically by a programmable timer or DE humidistat. They may also be operated in conjunction with a variable speed control.
Ducting the Fan
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect
on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest,
straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing
the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can
reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing
ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.
Fan and Motor
The fan motor is an energy-efficient, permanent-split-capacitor type of external-rotor design. Totally sealed to protect against moisture and contaminants, it is approved for removing steam and moisture from kitchen and bath areas. The motor incorporates permanently lubricated and sealed bearings and automatic-reset thermal-overload protection. It is designed and certified for continuous duty or intermittent operation. The fan uses a backward- inclined impeller design that prevents dust from collecting on the blades. Each fan is statically and dynamically balanced in the factory to eliminate vibration and ensure quiet operation. The entire motor and fan assembly is mounted on a dropdown hinged access panel for simple service and inspection, and it can be removed from the fan without disassembling the duct connections.
Locating and Installing
The compact dimensions and versatile mounting options permit installation
above drop ceilings, between ceiling joists, or within a small soffit
location. They can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Use ductwork of a diameter that is the same as or greater than the diameter of
the duct connectors on the fan.
Accessories
Accessory kits are available to facilitate installation and enhance operation.
Accessories kits are sold separately. Please visit aldes-na.com, or contact
your local Alde’s distributor for details.
Performance
Fan airflow and energy performance shall be tested in accordance with HVI
procedures.
