Description

The Delfield 3516173 Fan Guard 6-3/8" DIA is a protective cover used in commercial foodservice equipment. It is made of plastic and has centres of 7-1/2-inch mounting holes to fit over the assembly so that it will not be in contact with rotating blades during normal operation and service. This guard prevents the damage of personnel and components and allows the airflow necessary to cool the components. It assists in proper and steady airflow management. This is usually changed during maintenance or repairs in case it is cracked or lost.

More Information:

An evaporator fan guard is used inside commercial refrigerators to help protect the area where the evaporator fan is installed. It is positioned around the evaporator fan to help prevent contact between the moving blades and any person or object that may come near it. The design still allows airflow so the cooling process inside the unit is not affected. The dimensions of 6-3/8 inches and 3/8 inches in height allow proper positioning inside the refrigerator. The part is made of clear plastic material and is used in various commercial refrigerators. If the fan guard becomes broken or improperly positioned, replacing it helps maintain safety and proper unit operation.

Equipment Compatibility:
Delfield Evaporator fan guards are used in commercial refrigerators and cold storage units found in restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, and other food service areas where airflow and fan protection are needed. This Evaporator Fan Guard 3516173 fits refrigeration systems from brands like Delfield, Russell, and other similar equipment makers, where fan safety and proper air movement are required for normal cooling.
