Chicago offers Design 51 RA fans espe-

Chicago offers two methods of selecting
the desired Design 51 fan. For those
whose primary consideration is energy
consumption, one method selects the
most energy efficient fan size for any
required duty.

For Fans with Specified
Outlet Velocities
Many engineers specify a maximum fan outlet velocity. Chicago’s Quick

Outlet Areas and

Selection Method provides the smallest possible fan size that meets any
specified outlet velocity limit.

Page Numbers
To size a fan with a specified maximum outlet velocity (O.V.), calculate a
minimum fan outlet area (O.A.) using the formula below. Then select a
fan from the table at right with an outlet area equal to or larger than the
calculated minimum.
Required Volime in Cubic
Feet Per Minute, CFM
= Minimum O.A. in Square Fee, Ft2
Specified Maximum O.V. in
Feet Per Minute, FPM

Example:
Select a fan for 43,000 CFM with a maximum outlet velocity of 3200 FPM.
43,000
= 13.44 Ft2
3,200
From the table, the first fan with an outlet area of at least 13.44 Ft2 is the
Size 365. With an outlet velocity of 13.79 Ft2, the Size 365 will meet the
maximum outlet velocity specified.
The actual velocity will be:
43,000 CFM
= 3118 FPM
13.79 Ft 2
Having sized the fan based on outlet velocity, turn to the multi-rating table
on the page indicated, either Design 51 or Design 51 RA. Locate the
speed and horsepower required to meet the CFM and static pressure
specified.

For Low

The most efficient fan for any se-
lection is Chicago’s Design 51.
When working with lower pres-
sure, typically below 5" SP, and
space and initial cost are primary
considerations, the Design 51 RA
in smaller sizes may be a better
selection. The RA fan was specif-
ically designed for improved
efficiency in low pressure, high
volume applications. The exam-
ples to the right demonstrate that
both fans will be able to provide
a wide range of selections.
