Trane FAN1836 Fan Blade
The Trane FAN1836 is a professional-grade condenser fan blade engineered for heavy-duty HVACR applications, specifically within packaged rooftop units and large-scale condensing systems. Featuring a 24-inch diameter and a 24-degree pitch, this 3-blade aluminum assembly is optimized for high-volume airflow and thermal management. Designed with a standard 1/2-inch bore, it facilitates a secure press-fit or set-screw mounting on compatible motor shafts. The CW (clockwise) rotation is critical for maintaining correct static pressure and heat exchange efficiency in Trane and American Standard equipment. Techs often utilize this as a direct OEM replacement fan blade for obsolete parts or to restore factory-spec performance in TCD series rooftop units. Its rigid aluminum construction ensures vibration-free operation under high RPMs, preventing premature motor bearing wear and ensuring consistent condenser air movement across the coils.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Precision Aerodynamics: The 24-degree pitch is calibrated to maximize CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) while minimizing amp draw on the condenser motor.
- Universal Fit Dimensions: The 1/2-inch hub bore and 24-inch overall diameter provide seamless integration with standard NEMA frame motors.
- Durable Aluminum Build: Corrosion-resistant blade material prevents balance issues caused by environmental debris or oxidation in outdoor environments.
- Verified Compatibility: Engineered as a direct drop-in for Trane FAN01836 and related 3-blade assemblies, reducing downtime during emergency service calls.
- How do I confirm the rotation of my existing blade? To match the Trane FAN1836, view the fan from the discharge side; the blades must move clockwise to pull or push air correctly through the condenser.
- Will this fan blade fit an aftermarket motor? As long as the motor features a 1/2-inch shaft and supports CW rotation, the hub will seat properly, though you must verify the motor's horsepower and RPM ratings can handle the 24-degree pitch.
- What happens if I install a blade with the wrong pitch? Using a blade with a different pitch than the original 24-degree spec can overload the motor or significantly reduce cooling capacity. This OEM-spec blade ensures the system stays within design parameters.
