Selection Procedure
The catalog provides a detailed procedure for selecting the appropriate fan, considering factors such as air flow, system resistance, and density corrections. It emphasizes the importance of accounting for accessory losses and unusual inlet/outlet conditions.
Fan Selection Procedure:
1. Calculate the equivalent selection fan static pressure by adding system fan static pressure losses to the standard density.
2. Re-enter selection tables with the equivalent static pressure and required ACFM.
3. Determine fan speed based on SP and ACFM.
4. Read fan BHP at the selection point and add approximately 3% for v-belt drive loss.
5. Multiply by the density correction factor to find actual horsepower at operating conditions.
Variable Inlet Vanes and Outlet Dampers:
- Inlet vanes can reduce flow by up to 30% and require RPM and BHP adjustments.
- Outlet damper losses must be added to fan static pressure for performance calculations.
V-Belt Drive Losses:

There are many applications which have a large fan moving a high volume of air but at a low static pressure, so a large horsepower motor is not required. In these instances, many times the motor is not large enough to turn the fan wheel and shaft due to high inertia requirements. In these instances one needs to consult with the motor or starter manufacturer to see if the motor is capable of the necessary load inertia. The chart that follows gives quick calculations that can be performed to see if the motor has the necessary start up capabilities. MOTOR TORQUE WR² x N² t= 1.62 x HPm t = Start...
