A factory-supplied cover shall protect the motor cooling fan from ice. B. An external field supported duct silencer fabricated with 4.75Ib. density inorganic mineral or glass fiber shall attenuate discharge noise from the blower. This media shall be protected from erosion by the airflow through the use of galvanized perforated metal with aerodynamic leading and trailing edges to insure maximum acoustical insertion loss at minimum static pressure drop. Lining of the fan scroll, instead of an external silencer, shall not be accepted. Include factory installed bird screen on discharge of silencer if air is not recirculated. 2.4 CONTROL A. Operation of the automatic shaker shall be controlled by a solid state, dual mode timer with adjustable shaker cycle range from 1.8-180 seconds.
