Description
Core Product Summary
The CCC FAN-10-2 is a fan tray assembly associated with the Compressor Controls Corporation (CCC) Vanguard Series 5 10-slot duplex chassis. Its function is to provide forced-air cooling for the chassis and its installed control hardware.
CCC documentation identifies six 3.62-inch (92 mm) fans in the assembly. Each fan has a specified airflow rating of 60 CFM. The documented tray dimensions are approximately 419 × 38 × 261 mm.
When sourcing a replacement, confirm the installed chassis model, the FAN-10-2 part number, tray dimensions, and mounting arrangement. These checks help distinguish the specified assembly from fan trays designed for other controller chassis.

Engineering Selection Highlights
Dedicated chassis cooling
The FAN-10-2 is identified as the fan tray for the Vanguard Series 5 duplex chassis. Correct tray selection matters because cooling performance depends on both the fan assembly and the chassis airflow path.
Six-fan configuration
The documented six-fan arrangement provides multiple airflow sources across the chassis. During maintenance, check every fan rather than accepting the assembly based on a single operating fan.
Defined mechanical dimensions
The specified tray dimensions give maintenance engineers a reference for checking physical fit and mounting alignment before installing a replacement.
Maintenance planning
CCC documentation recommends quarterly fan inspections and gives a five-year recommended replacement interval for the fan tray assembly. Actual maintenance should follow the applicable site procedures and the relevant equipment documentation.

System Compatibility & Integration Requirements
| Item to verify | Engineering check |
|---|---|
| Controller platform | Confirm the system is a Vanguard Series 5 installation. |
| Chassis model | Verify the installed chassis and whether it is the CPCI-10-D2-NPS duplex configuration. |
| Part number | Confirm FAN-10-2 on the existing assembly or approved parts list. |
| Mechanical fit | Compare tray dimensions, mounting points, and locking-screw arrangement. |
| Airflow path | Confirm the replacement matches the chassis intake and exhaust arrangement. |
| Operational status | Check fan operation and the chassis fan-fault indication after installation. |
Do not select a replacement solely because the dimensions appear similar. A tray designed for another chassis may have a different mounting interface or airflow arrangement.
Dimensions, Mounting & Connection Notes
The documented FAN-10-2 tray measures approximately 419 mm wide × 38 mm high × 261 mm deep. The assembly slides into the front of the specified chassis and is secured by two locking screws.
Before installation:
- Compare the replacement with the removed assembly and verify its part number.
- Inspect the tray, fan housings, connectors, and mounting hardware for physical damage.
- Check that the fan blades rotate freely and that the air path is unobstructed.
- Follow the equipment-specific maintenance procedure for removal and installation.
CCC documentation indicates that the fan tray can be removed and replaced while powered, but it should not remain absent for more than one minute. This is a specific maintenance constraint, not a general recommendation to perform live replacement without authorization. Follow the applicable site safety rules and maintenance procedures.
Detailed Product Overview
What the FAN-10-2 does
The CCC FAN-10-2 is a mechanical cooling assembly associated with the Vanguard Series 5 10-slot duplex chassis. Its six fans move air through the chassis to help manage the heat generated by installed electronic equipment.
Cooling is an essential part of controller reliability. Restricted airflow, a failed fan, or a poorly fitted tray can compromise the thermal conditions of the installed hardware. For this reason, replacement selection must account for the chassis interface and airflow arrangement—not just the individual fan size.
What the specifications mean for maintenance
The documented 60 CFM airflow rating applies to each fan. Although the arithmetic total of six ratings is 360 CFM, that value is not a verified measurement of airflow through the assembled chassis. Actual system airflow depends on the chassis structure, installed cards, airflow resistance, and operating conditions.
The documented fan MTBF of 60,000 hours is a reliability specification. It does not establish the remaining service life of a used tray or guarantee that an individual assembly will operate for that duration.
CCC documentation also recommends periodic inspection and replacement planning. Fan noise, restricted rotation, visible damage, dust buildup, and fan-fault indications should be evaluated as part of routine maintenance.
Replacement and procurement considerations
Before ordering a FAN-10-2, compare the part number against the installed assembly and equipment records. Confirm the chassis designation, physical dimensions, locking arrangement, and fan configuration. For used or surplus equipment, request clear photographs of the complete tray and its identifying markings.
After installation, verify that all six fans operate normally and check the chassis fan-status indication. If the system reports a fan fault or shows abnormal operating noise, investigate the cause rather than treating physical installation alone as proof of correct operation.
Applications & System Role
The FAN-10-2 is used as a cooling assembly in the CCC Vanguard Series 5 duplex controller chassis. Its role is thermal management rather than control logic or process-signal handling.
Typical maintenance contexts include:
- Compressor control systems: Maintaining the cooling arrangement around controller and I/O hardware.
- Industrial turbomachinery installations: Supporting chassis thermal management in control systems used for compressors and related machinery.
- Control-system maintenance: Replacing a worn or faulty fan tray during planned service.
- Spare-parts management: Holding the specified assembly for maintenance of an installed Vanguard Series 5 duplex chassis.
The actual application should be confirmed against the equipment installed at the site. The FAN-10-2 should not be assumed compatible with other CCC chassis solely because they belong to the same general product family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the CCC FAN-10-2?
It is a fan tray assembly used with the CCC Vanguard Series 5 10-slot duplex chassis.
Q2. How many fans does the FAN-10-2 contain?
The documented assembly contains six fans, each measuring 3.62 inches (92 mm) in diameter.
Q3. What is the specified airflow?
The documentation specifies 60 CFM per fan. This is an individual fan rating, not a guaranteed measurement of total chassis airflow.
Q4. What are the dimensions of the FAN-10-2?
The documented dimensions are approximately 16.5 × 1.5 × 10.25 inches, or 419 × 38 × 261 mm.
Q5. Which chassis should be checked before ordering?
Confirm the installed Vanguard Series 5 duplex chassis, particularly the CPCI-10-D2-NPS configuration, and verify the part number against the existing assembly or approved equipment documentation.
Q6. Can the fan tray be replaced while the system is powered?
CCC documentation states that the tray can be removed and replaced while powered, but it should not be absent for more than one minute. Live replacement should only be performed when permitted by the applicable maintenance procedure and site safety requirements.
Q7. What should be inspected on a used FAN-10-2?
Check the part-number marking, all six fans, fan rotation, bearing noise, physical damage, connectors, mounting hardware, and signs of contamination. Where practical, verify operation in a compatible chassis and document the test results.
Q8. Is the FAN-10-2 a controller or I/O module?
No. It is a cooling assembly. It does not perform the control-logic or process-signal functions of a controller or I/O module.
