Summary
See more specification See less specification
The Elta Multiflow SMB450/4-1AC is a 450mm square inline mixed flow box fan with a single phase AC motor, moving up to 3830 m³/h in free air and 2596 m³/h against 200 Pa. It fits straight into 450mm ductwork on Ductmate flanges at each end.
The 4 pole motor runs at 1385 rpm on a 220 to 240V 50Hz supply, absorbing 0.391 kW with a peak current of 2.05 A, and has sealed for life bearings. The casing is stiffened pre-galvanised sheet steel, the impeller has 7 backward curved aerofoil blades in high performance composite, and it handles air up to 60°C. Elta give a 12 month warranty.
- 1 Phase
- AC Motor
- Up to 3830 m³/h
- Speed Controllable
What it is best used for
Medium commercial extract and supply on a single phase supply with 450mm ductwork: restaurant and commercial kitchen extract behind a filtered canopy, lift motor rooms, plant rooms, warehouse offices and general HVAC. It holds 3337 m³/h at 100 Pa and 2596 m³/h at 200 Pa.
The curve falls away after 250 Pa (518 m³/h at 300 Pa), so for high resistance systems or anything much over 3500 m³/h choose the SMB550 instead.
Why choose this over alternatives
Against the three phase SMB450/4-3AC, this single phase model moves slightly less air in free air (3830 against 3920 m³/h) and draws 2.05 A on 230V against 0.88 A per phase. It is the straightforward choice where only a single phase supply is available.
Within the single phase range, it sits above the SMB400/4-1AC (2552 m³/h free air). The SMB500/4-1AC has almost identical performance (3856 m³/h) with a 500mm connection, so pick between the two on duct size.
Installation notes
- Mount the fan at any angle in the duct run, securely supported, and leave access for maintenance. It weighs 23 kg.
- Connect with the 450mm Ductmate flanges at each end. Elta's flexible connectors (063-0450-MFB) and anti vibration mounts (062-002) reduce transmitted noise and vibration.
- Wire to Elta diagram 152-104A on a 230V single phase supply. The thermal cut out terminals (TB) must be connected into the control circuit, and Elta specify the 149-TC14 transformer controller for speed control.
- Fit a means of isolation and earth the fan. Fuses and breakers only give short circuit protection, so Elta advise a starter with overload protection for the motor. Check rotation, airflow direction and running current on first start.
- Not for corrosive or explosive atmospheres. Locate the discharge away from open flues, and inspect and clean the impeller and motor at least every 12 months.
You'll also need
- Elta 149-TC14 single phase 5 step transformer controller (4 A), the controller Elta specify for this fan.
- Elta 450mm splitter silencer 068-0450-MFB, available to order, ask us.
- Elta 450mm flexible connectors 063-0450-MFB (each), available to order, ask us.
- Elta anti vibration mounts 062-002 and mounting brackets 060-MFB-01, available to order, ask us.
