Objectives Learn about Fans Discuss • Exam • Final Project
Fan Laws • “Approximate relationships” • Given two aerodynamically similar fans, can extrapolate performance data • Be very careful
Question • How does fan power consumption vary with volumetric air flow rate?
Summary of Air Distribution Systems • Select diffuser based on ADPI • Given a layout of duct system • Calculate total pressure drop • Identify fittings • Deal with non-circular ducts • Use fitting loss coefficient or equal length method • Select the fan based on fan and duct curve
