New fans are to be reversible panel fans with OSHA approved guards on propeller and motor sides of the fans. The fans are to be finished with hot dip galvanizing and corrosion resistant. Fans are to be balanced upon installation to provide optimum performance in accordance with AMCA. Total sound power level of the fan shall not exceed 90 dBA when tested per AMCA. The recommended model is the Aerovent XXR624 or XXR628. 3. The contractor shall remove and dispose of the existing fans, motors, shrouds, and associated electrical boxes wiring and conduit.

All bolts and anchors are to 316 Stainless Steel. Sheet metal should be placed around the fan housing to provide positive flow for the fans in either direction. Sheet metal is kept approximately 4? off of the tunnel floor or bottom to allow drainage of ground water or debris in the tunnel. Sheet metal will be galvanized. 4. The contractor shall provide his own temporary fans as needed while permanent fans are installed. Contractor will install fans for the existing non-operational fans as indicated by the Government Mechanical Engineering Technicians prior to the replacement of the existing functioning fans.

The motors are to have a class H insulation rating. The voltage of the motor is 230V. The recommended model for a 36? ventilation fan is Baldor M3615T. Fans motors are to installed with corresponding disconnects in accordance with NEC code. Provide disconnecting means capable of being locked out for the fans to prevent unexpected startup and release of stored energy in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.147. Disconnect switches are to be in accordance with NEMA KS 1. Provide heavy duty disconnect switches. Disconnect switches shall be horsepower rated. Provide the disconnect switches in NEMA 2 boxes. Provide electrical components for the fans, such as control or push button stations and other devices functioning to control the fans including control wiring and conduit for circuits rated 100 volts or above to conform with the associated fan(s). Provide controllers for the motors with electronic phase voltage monitors designed to protect motors from phase-loss, undervoltage, and overvoltage. Provide protection for motors from immediate restart by a time adjustable restart relay. The recommended controller is Square D 8738SDW32V90. 6. Wires and cables shall meet applicable requirements of NFPA 70 and UL for type of insulation, jacket, and conductor indicated for the fan, fan motor, and controller.

All wiring is to meet NEC code. 7. Provide flexible metal wound liquid tight conduit between 3 and 6 feet length from the disconnect panel to the fan motor. Install the flexible conduit to allow 20 percent slack. Provide separate ground conductors across flexible connections. 8. Provide insulated conductors installed in rigid steel conduit, IMC, rigid non metallic conduit capable of temperatures above 175 degrees Fahrenheit. The grounding conductor shall be separate from electrical system neutral conductor. Support conduit by wall brackets, hangers or ceiling trapeze. Fasten by toggle bolts on hollow masonry units; by concrete inserts or expansion bolts on concrete or brick and machine screws, welded threaded studs, or spring tension clamp on steel work. Do not weld conduits on steel structures. Fasteners attached to concrete ceilings shall be vibration resistant and shock resistant. Supporting means shall not be shared with mechanical piping. Supports shall be spaced in accordance with NEC code. Conduits and supports are to be affixed to not reduce access in the area installed.
