Trane FAN3044 Fan Blade
The Trane FAN3044 Fan Blade is a high-performance, precision-engineered cooling component designed for industrial and commercial HVAC systems. This 22-inch diameter propeller features a 24-degree pitch and a 3-blade configuration, optimized to deliver consistent airflow and pressure across condenser coils or heating elements. Built for counterclockwise (CCW) rotation, the unit mounts securely via a 1/2-inch bore. Its structural integrity is maintained by a rolled steel frame and a corrosion-resistant aluminum flange, ensuring it stands up to the thermal stress and high-RPM demands typical of heavy-duty air-handling units and rooftop systems.
For technicians performing field replacements, the Trane FAN3044 is a direct substitute for the legacy Part# FAN03044. This blade is frequently utilized in Trane WSC036 series heat pumps and varied RTU condenser applications. Its 1800 RPM rating ensures efficient heat exchange, vital for maintaining system efficiency and protecting the compressor from head pressure spikes. When installing, always verify the hub intake location and ensure the set screw is torqued to manufacturer specifications, typically 12-16 ft-lbs, to prevent shaft slippage or mechanical vibration.
Key Benefits- OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for the Trane FAN03044, ensuring no modifications are needed during service.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty aluminum blades and a steel hub provide the balance required for smooth, low-vibration operation.
- Optimized Airflow: The 24-degree blade pitch is specifically calibrated to maximize volumetric flow rate in 22-inch fan shrouds.
- Environmental Resistance: Finished materials are selected to resist oxidation in outdoor environments and humid industrial settings.
Is the Trane FAN3044 compatible with other brands?
While designed as a Trane replacement part, it can be used in other HVAC systems that require a 22-inch CCW fan blade with a 1/2-inch bore and 24-degree pitch, provided the weight and RPM limits match the motor specs.
What rotation direction is this blade?
This is a Counterclockwise (CCW) rotation blade, specifically designed for systems where the airflow direction is dictated by a CCW motor shaft rotation when viewed from the lead end.
Why is the blade pitch important?
The 24-degree pitch determines the volume of air moved per revolution. Using an incorrect pitch can overload the condenser fan motor or result in insufficient cooling capacity for the system.
