Fan Curve Calculations

This document discusses fan curves and the relationships between fan speed, impeller diameter, specific weight, power, pressure, volume, and efficiency. It states that air volume changes proportionally to RPM, pressure changes proportionally to the square of RPM, and power changes proportionally to the cube of RPM. It also provides equations to calculate power, volume, and pressure based on measured values and a base curve.

FAN CURVES

base curve measured values


Specific weight Po p
fan speed no n
impeller dia Do D
power shaft kwo kw
total pressure Pt=Ps+Pd Pto Pt
gas volume Qo Q

kw = kwo * [n/no]3 * [D/Do]3 * [p/po]

Q= Qo * [n/no] * [D/Do]3

Pt = Pto * [n/no]2 * [D/Do]2 * [p/po]

Pt is pressure drop across fan

Fan working in a given duct system following applies:

Air volume changes proportionally to the rpm.


Pressure changes proportionally to rpm in second power.
power changes proportionally to rpm in third power.

if there is no curve power consumption at shaft can be :

kw = Q*P
102*n

n=fan eff 0.80
