RESISTANCE CATALOG PERFORMANCE CURVE AIRFLOW DEFICIENCY DESIGN AIRFLOW The International Authority on Air System Components Speed Changes • Before Increasing Speed ◦ Check with the manufacturer for max safe operating speed ◦ Determine expected power increase • Motor size • Electric Service ◦ Expect more noise The International Authority on Air System Components The International Authority on Air System Components The International Authority on Air System Components Rules of Thumb • Minimum 2.5 duct diameters on Outlet • Minimum 3 to 5 duct diameters on Inlet • Avoid inlet swirl The International Authority on Air System Components Recommendations • Allow enough space in the building design to allow for appropriate fan connections to the system The International Authority on Air System Components Recommendations • Use allowances in the design calculations when space or other factors dictate less than optimum arrangement of the fan outlet and inlet connections The International Authority on Air System Components Recommendations • Include adequate allowance for the effect of all accessories and appurtenances on the performance of the system and the fan The
