The fan drive electric motors fall into insulation class F; however,
at nominal load and nominal tension, insulation temperature
does not exceed insulation class B. A stream of air with tempera-

Installation
To ensure uniform air flow across the at-
tenuation screens, empty (settling) space
should be provided up- and downstream
of the screens. If the sound attenuation
section is located downstream of the
fan section (the fan blowing towards the
screens), this requirement is properly
fulfilled by installing an interlocated dif-
fuser section. If the up- or downstream
duct connection does not cover the entire
cross section, the settling space is to be
provided by means of an empty section,
the length of which depends on the air
flow angle:
• from duct connection to screens –
inflow angle 35°,
• from screens to duct connection –
outflow angle 25°.
