Fans used in air-handling systems often have a significant impact on
energy use and acoustics. How much of an impact depends on how a fan
is selected, installed, and operated.
This program
discusses fan performance curves and fan laws, different fan types
(fan blade shape, housed vs. plenum fans, direct-drive plenum fans,
fan arrays), how a fan interacts with various types of systems,
considerations when selecting a fan (efficiency, acoustics,
footprint), and the ASHRAE Standard 90.1 fan power limitations. What
you will learn:
- How to select, install, and operate fans to avoid problems related to inadequate airflow or excessive noise
- When to select the different fan types (housed vs. plenum, belt-drive vs. direct-drive, single fan vs. a fan array)
- How to design fan systems to meet the prescriptive requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007
