  4. Aerodynamics What is a Fan? • Any device for producing a current of air by the movement of a broad surface or a number of such surfaces.

  5. Aerodynamics Pressure & Flow Definitions and Measurement Fan Flow Rate • Often called inlet volume • Measured at the fan inlet, by convention • Measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm) • May be converted to scfm (standard cubic feet per minute), or mass flow (lb/hr) • Fan manufacturers commonly use acfm (actual cubic feet per minute)

  6. Aerodynamics Pressure & Flow Definitions and Measurement Pressure • Force per Unit Area • Commonly measured in psi or inwg Absolute Pressure • Pressure when the datum is absolute zero • iiAlways positive • Barometric Pressure • Absolute pressure exerted by the atmosphere • Always positive • Gauge Pressure • Pressure when the datum is barometric pressure • May be positive or negative

  7. Aerodynamics Pressure & Flow Definitions and Measurement Static Pressure • Pressure due to degree of compression and density only • May be positive or negative Velocity Pressure • Pressure due to rate of motion and density only • Always positive • Total Pressure • Algebraic sum of static and velocity pressures at a point • May be positive or negative

  8. Aerodynamics Pressure & Flow Definitions and Measurement Fan Total Pressure • Difference in Total Pressure between the fan outlet and fan inlet • FTP = TPo - TPi Fan Velocity Pressure • Pressure corresponding to the average velocity at the fan outlet • FVP = VPo • Fan Static Pressure • Fan Total Pressure minus Fan Velocity Pressure • FSP = SPo – TPi • Static Pressure Rise • Difference in Static Pressure between the fan outlet and fan inlet • SPR = SPo - SPi

  9. Aerodynamics Pressure & Flow Definitions and Measurement Fan Pressure Terms • For a Given Fan, SPR is iiiAlways Greater Than FSP • If the Specified Pressure is iiiAssumed to Be FSP, the Fan iiiSelected Will Be Smaller Image area
