Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing and replacing an integral-motor fan from below. A support assembly has support struts fixed to a mounting ring. Mounting ring is configured to be fixed to the fan head, holding the fan in place, and support struts are configured to rest on mounting bolts fixed to a fan shroud. To mount a fan in place from below, the fan is fixed to the mounting ring of the support assembly, and the support assembly and attached fan are lifted into the fan shroud. The support assembly is rotated until the struts align with the support bolts in the fan shroud. The support assembly is then lowered until the struts come to rest on the support bolts. A power cable with a length sufficient to lower the fan support assembly out of the fan shroud prior to disconnecting the power cable from the fan body.

Abstract: A method operates a heat exchanger unit and determines a current physical characteristic of a process fluid at or adjacent a process fluid outlet of the heat exchanger unit and predetermining a desired physical characteristic of the process fluid at which the process fluid is desired to exit the heat exchanger unit. If the current physical characteristic of the process fluid is greater than the desired physical characteristic of the process fluid, then either a current fan speed is incrementally increased or the current fan speed is set at a predetermined low set point fan speed. Alternatively, if the current physical characteristic of the process fluid is less than the desired physical characteristic of the process fluid, then either the current fan speed is incrementally decreased or the current fan speed is set at a predetermined high set point fan speed or an OFF operating mode is activated.
