9.2 Cooling fan
The dynamic braking unit’s cooling fan has a minimum life span of 25,000 operating hours. The
actual life span depends on the usage and ambient temperature.
Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from the fan bearings. If the braking unit is
operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once these symptoms
appear. Replacement fans are available from INVT.
