Industrial Air Flow Design Principles for Fan / Blower Applications. |
As each industrial air moving system has it's own particular design and system effects, it would be impossible to predict the infinite amount of all possible system effects or phenomenon that may occur in a particular application. This information will center on heavy duty industrial process air moving applications. For Air Conditioning design principals, light duty commercial (Schools - Restaurants Etc.) please search the web for keywords, "commercial air moving" or look in the consumer yellow pages under "air conditioning". |

| Industrial Fan / Blower Types - three main categories |
| Centrifugal |
Backwardly inclined -Airfoil, Single thickness, Backward curved. |
| Forward curved - general light duty multiplied slow speed. |
| Radial blade type - Open, Backplated, Rimmed, Reinforced, for rugged applications. |
| Inline centrifugal - using Airfoil or Single thickness backwardly inclined wheel. |
| High Pressure. - Narrow width open and radial tipped design. |
| Radial Tipped - High rim or tip speed capability, resulting in high flow and pressure.. |

Many other sub categories, however most are all based on above main impeller types |
|

|
|
| Fan / Blower Performance |
As a fan wheel or impeller rotates, the Impeller through centrifugal force creates vacuum or low pressure at its inlet suction side. In turn, the impeller creates a positive pressure, inducing a force of air on the discharge side. These basic principals are similar to a pump or water wheel, in which the air is conveyed from the suction to discharge. |
| |
|
|
| The affinity laws or centrifugal laws apply to fans similarly as in centrifugal pumps. |
Flow varies in direct proportion to change in RPM.
CFM (new) = [RPM(new) / RPM(old)] x CFM(old)
SP varies in proportion to change in RPM
SP(new) = [RPM(new) / RPM(old)] x SP(old)
Fan brake horsepower varies proportionally as the cube of the change in RPM.
BHP(new) = [RPM(new) / RPM(old)] x BHP(old) |

These factors only apply with changes to speed.
Should the system be altered in anyway through addition of "resistance" devices, such as dampers or changes in existing system design, a new system design must be calculated. |
