Fan Selection Application-Based Selection Performance Theory.
This book is designed to help you select the fan that will best fit the application for which it is intended. With the large number of differ ent fan types and sizes available it's necessary to know which fan model does the best job in certain applications and then be able to select the most economical fan size for the job.

This is the first and most basic of this manual’s three sections, all of which are designed to enable you to select the right fan for the job. Look at this first section as a “user’s manual” for Greenheck literature.
Reading Performance Charts Assume that a job requires a belt drive roof exhauster to move 1000 cfm against 0.25 in. Ps. Refer to the performance model at the bottom of this page. Start at the top of the chart with the 0.25 in. Ps column. (All numbers in this column correspond to .

Model RSF and BCF Selection The RSF and BCF selection charts are different from all other selection charts. For these models, the cfm values are at the left side of the chart in a single column and the rpms are in the performance boxes. It is just the opposite for other models.

F AN SELECTION BASED ON F AN APPLICA TION Direct Drive vs Belt Drive Direct drive fans are economical for low volume (2000 cfm or less) and low static pressure (0.50 in. or less). They require little maintenance and most direct drive motors can be used with a speed control to adjust the cfm.

Commer cial Kitchen V entilation Fan Sizing Exhaust When not specified by local codes, the following guidelines may be used to determine the minimum kitchen hood exhaust cfm. Some local codes require 100 cfm/ft. 2 of hood area for wall style hoods. Supply Recommended supply airflow is 90% of exhaust cfm.

General Industrial V entilation Typical Applications Propeller fans are ideal for ventilating high air volumes at low static pressures (0.50 in. or less). Industrial applications often include factories and warehouses. A variety of fan models offer flexibility for roof or wall mount as well as exhaust or supply.
High Static Pr essure V entilation Typical Applications Models SWB and BSQ are general, all-purpose fans that are capable of moving high air volumes against high static pressures (up to 5.0 in wg). High static pressures are generated by long or complex duct systems, especially when capture hoods are present.

Determining Static Pressur e (Ps) The pressures generated by fans in ductwork are very small. Yet, accurately estimating the static pressure is critical to proper fan selection. Fan static pressure is measured in inches of water gauge. One pound per square inch is equivalent to 27.

Motor Horsepower The motor horsepower for direct drive fans is always sized by Greenheck and does not require further consideration. For belt drive models, the catalog identifies which horsepower is recommended. However, there are times when it is wise to bump the horsepower one size.
Installation To ensure proper fan performance as cataloged, caution must be exercised in fan placement and connection to the ventilation system. Obstructions, transitions, poorly designed elbows, improperly selected dampers, etc., can cause reduced performance, excessive noise, and increased mechanical stressing.
F AN PERFORMANCE System Dynamics For a given flow rate (cfm), an air distribution system produces a resistance to airflow (Ps). This resistance is the sum of all static pressure losses as the air flows through the system. Resistance producing elements include ductwork, dampers, grills, coils, etc.
Combining Fan and System Dynamics The previous two sections introduced fan curves and system resistance curves. This section will show how these relate to each other to provide an understanding of the way the fan-system operates as a complete entity. Remember that a fan curve is the series of points at which the fan can operate at a constant rpm.
Adjusting Fan Performance There is a direct relationship between cfm and rpm within a system. Doubling the fan rpm will double the cfm delivered. Sample problem: The figure on page 21 showed a fan curve at 700 rpm which had an operating point of 1000 cfm at 0.
In a steady-state system, as the fan rpm changes, cfm, Ps and BHp (horsepower) also change. The equations below, known better as fan laws, show the relationship between these performance parameters.
