Air handling units are supplied with locked access doors as an option. So, unauthorized persons are not permitted
to enter the sections which represent a danger. The most important potential dangers for life and health are
described below. The units are manufactured in conformity with machinery normative 98/37/EC. If the user
thinks to take further measures to restrict every possible remaining danger, he will be able to recognize them by
the general description below.
This publication explains the proper use and installation of centrifugal fans in order to warn operating and
maintenance personnel of the commonly recognized dangers associated with this equipment.
In addition to follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions, care must be taken to ensure compliance with
federal, state and local rules, regulations and standards.
Centrifugal fans in air handling units are located inside a casing, so accessibility to the fan is occasional or
infrequent. For this reason, protective devices are offered as optional accessories only at specic users request.
However as in case with other machinery involving moving parts, common sense and caution will preserve
personnel safety.
The available optional guarding devices are:
fan inlet and outlet guards: Centrifugal fans in air handling units are usually connected directly to ductwork
which will prevent the contact with the internal moving parts. In case there is an exposed inlet or outlet
which could represent a danger, suitable guards can be installed,
drive guards: Safety guards should be used when drive systems are accessible by the personnel,
limit switch: Cuts off the power supply of the fan motor when door opens. As the fan keeps on rotating, do
not attempt to enter the unit within minimum 2minutes, after opening the door.
Also, lockout switches and suitable warnings should be used. Maintenance personnel should engage the lockout
switch before starting any maintenance and repairs; do not forget to protect against unlock by anybody else.
