CENTRIFUGAL FAN EFFICIENCY & POWER CONSUMPTION



Fan Power Consumption

The ideal power consumption of a fan (without losses) can be expressed as

Pi = dp q (1)

where

Pi = ideal power consumption (W)

dp = total pressure increase in the fan (Pa)

q = air volume flow delivered by the fan (m3/s)

The ideal power consumptions for fans at different air volumes and pressure increases are expressed in the chart below:

Fan Motors and Starting Torques

A fan motor must be capable not only of driving the fan at operating speed, but also be capable of accelerating the fan wheel to the operating speed

A fan motor must be capable not only of driving the fan at operating conditions, but also be capable of accelerating the fan wheel, drive and shaft to the operating speed. For a fan transporting a large volume of air at low static pressure the motor power required during the continuous operating process may not be enough for starting the fan. Often a correct designed and adjusted motor protection system will stop the fan before the windings are overheated and insulation damaged.
The motor torque should during design be checked against the fan wheel torque up to 90% of the synchronized speed.
