Coverage of fan system performance, types of fans, and methods of control. Â
Topics include:
- Static pressure vs. velocity pressure
- Fan performance curves
- Fan system interaction
- Basic types of fans (forward curved - FC, backward inclined - BI, backward curved - BC, airfoil - AF, plug or plenum, vaneaxial, and variable-pitch vaneaxial - VPVA)
- Methods of fan control (riding the fan curve, discharge dampers, inlet vanes, variable-speed drive, and variable-pitch blade control)
- Static pressure control
- Fan system effects
- Acoustics
- Effect of actual conditions–altitude
- Equipment certification standards
