Belts
Belts are key to the power of an HVAC system; you won’t get hot or cold air without them! Belts are flexible components that are connected to the system’s motor. As the motor spins, rotational power is transferred to fans, blowers, or compressors within the system....Read more
V-belts are the most common types of belts used in HVAC. Their trapezoidal shape provides strong grip, allowing for more effective transmission of power through friction. Belts are relatively inexpensive and their rubber composition allows them to absorb shock loads. Since they can handle an extensive range of speeds and distances, they’re a crucial part of HVAC systems like AHUs (air handling units) and RTUs (rooftop units).
HVAC belts are essential to air circulation and the cooling and heating performance of the unit. Worn or broken belts can lead to overheating, poor airflow, fan or blower failure, compressor lockout and eventually full system shutdown. As belts are much cheaper than full system replacements, it’s vital that you provide maintenance on them to ensure proper functionality. They should always be inspected during regular maintenance and typically require annual replacement. If you notice cracking, fraying, or any slipping, it’s a clear sign it’s time to replace your V-belt.
