MODEL NAME TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
DB Removal of clean air in general applications

MODEL OVERVIEW
Model DB belt drive fans are designed to exhaust air up to 28,000 CFM in high static pressure
applications to 1-1/4”. The aluminum exterior provides an attractive appearance. Belt drive results
in lower operating RPM and sound levels, making the Model DB well suited to applications where
quiet operation is important. Belt drive also permits easy performance adjustments when needed to
balance the total ventilation system. The non-overloading backward inclined wheel with its higher
static pressure capability makes this unit suitable for either ducted or nonducted applications. It’s roof
mounting permits location near the area to be ventilated, allowing short duct runs and more efficient
operation.

DBs are primarily used for the exhaust of relatively clean air
from a wide range of commercial, industrial and institutional Model DB is available
environments such as manufacturing and assembly plants, office in our Quickship program.
buildings, schools, hospitals, restaurants, athletic facilities and Size 36 is available for next day,
many others 3-day or 10-day shipping from
stock.

Benefits include reduction in startup and maintenance costs,
increased belt life, increased drive efficiency, and ensure drive
components do not snag obstructions.

Roof Curb: Prefabricated heavy-gauge galvanized steel, welded construction, 12” high (other heights are also
available) with 1-1/2” wood nailer. Assures perfect fit of exhauster to roof opening. Options
include burglar bars, single or double pitch construction and hinged curbs for easy duct access.

Sound Curb: Option of thermal acoustical lining or a complete maximum sound attenuating
baffle system. Provision for mounting damper is available. Contact factory for information
regarding effect on exhauster air performance and sound level.

Motor Operated Damper: Motor operated aluminum damper for positive closure against backdraft.

Automatic Damper: Automatic aluminum damper for ease in installation and effective backdraft
protection.

Companion Gravity Units: Model RCX-II comes in a wide range of sizes and air capacities to
provide relief or intake air to the system. Curbs and dampers are available to fit all sizes. Spun
aluminum hoods provide a pleasing appearance, complementing the Model DB exhauster.

Special Coatings: Powered roof exhausters often require special coatings for protective and
decorative purposes. Available coatings include: Synthetic Resin, Epoxy, and Heresite (air-dried
phenolic). Contact your representative or the factory for more information on available coatings
and colors.

Curb Hinge Arrangement: The curb hinge arrangement provides easy access to the exhaust fan, backdraft
damper, and duct for servicing and cleaning.
