NNoottee:: The drive belt is a urethane stretch belt
designed to provide constant tension
throughout the life of the belt. No periodic
adjustment is required. Inspect the belt
annually for proper tracking and tension. A
properly tensioned belt will turn the wheel
immediately, with no visible slippage, when
power is applied.
4. If the wheel has difficulty starting, turn off the
power and inspect the wheel for excessive
interference between the wheel surface and the
four diameter seals. To correct interference, loosen
the diameter seal adjusting screws and back the
diameter seals away from the surface of the wheel.
Apply power to confirm free wheel rotation. Re-
adjust and tighten the seals according to
instructions in the “Service and Repair” section.
Damper Actuators
Stroke the actuators to observe full open and full
closure of the dampers.

Cleaning the Energy Wheel
Disconnect all electrical power, then use a vacuum or
brush to remove accumulated material from the face of
the wheel. Examine the energy wheel monthly for
material build-up on the wheel. If more aggressive
cleaning is needed, removed the wheel segments and
follow these steps:
1. Wash the segments or the wheel in a five-percent
solution of non-acid-base coil cleaner (part no.
CHM00021 at your local Trane parts center) or in an
alkaline detergent and warm water.
2. Soak the segments in the solution until grease, oil,
and tar deposits are loosened.
3. Before removing the cleaner, rapidly run your
fingers across the surface of segments to separate
polymer strips for better cleaning action.
4. Rinse the dirty solution from the segments and
remove the excess water before re-installing the
segments in the wheel.
NNoottee:: Some permanent staining of the desiccant
may remain but is not harmful to
performance.
Cleaning Frequency
In reasonably clean office or school buildings, cleaning
with a coil cleaner solution may not be required for
several years. If the energy wheel is exposed to air
streams containing, for example, high levels of
occupant tobacco smoke, cooking facility exhaust air,
or oil-based aerosols found in machine shop areas,
annual or more frequent cleaning may be required to
remove these contaminants and restore performance.
Periodic inspection of the wheel should be done to
determine the cleaning intervals.

High-maintenance applications may benefit from
keeping a spare set of clean segments on hand. This
allows for rapid change-out of clean segments with
minimal downtime. The dirty segments can then be
cleaned at a convenient time.
