Building Vault Fan
BVF18E115B
Building Vault Fans are delivered completely assembled, including a 2-speed switch, adjustable thermostat and 4 foot cord with grounded plug.
  • Fan bodies constructed of 14 gage welded steel, powder coated for durability.
  • Motors are 1/4 HP, 115 V, single phase, drip proof construction, two-speed. Single speed and other voltages are available.
  • Zinc-plated fan guard.
  • Building Vault Fan, as shown, blows air into the vault to provide posive pressure. A reverse configuration is available to exhaust air from the vault, providing negative pressure.
Fans are used for forced ventilation in transformer vaults to remove transformer heat loss. Fans are selected based on transformer size and transformer efficiency. Heat loss through the walls and floor is usually about 10 to 20% of the transformer heat loss.

The "FAN SELECTION TABLE" is based on the normal heat loss from the transformer. The table is based on the transformer losing 1 1/2% of its capacity into heat. The air volume for a transformer rating is selected on the air temperature leaving the vault at 25 degrees F above the entering air temperature.
