An engineer's guide to international fan test standards.

Author(s) : ROSSI A.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

This paper aims to update the knowledge of the mechanical design engineer and mechanical contractor with regards to the current internationally standardised testing methods for fan performance and acoustics.

In particular:
1. ISO 5801: Industrial fans - Performance testing using standardized airways;
2. ISO 13347: Industrial fans - Determination of fan sound power levels under standardized laboratory conditions;
3. ISO 5136: Acoustics - Determination of sound power radiated into a duct by fans and other air-moving devices - In-duct method.

Having knowledge and contextual awareness of these test standards may allow the mechanical design engineer and mechanical contractor to avoid potentially costly post-installation problems caused by underperforming or noisy fans.
