FAN EFFICIENCY VS UNIT EFFICIENCY FOR CLEAN ROOM APPLICATION.

Author(s) : HUNT E., BENSON D. E., HOPKINS L. G.

Summary

IN TODAY'S CLEAN ROOM AIR-HANDLING CONFIGURATIONS, SEVERE PHYSICAL RESTRICTIONS EXIST THAT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT INLET AND OUTLET CONDITIONS OF FAN OPERATION. MANY FANS ARE SELECTED SOLELY ON THIS EFFICIENCY WITHOUT CONSIDERATION FOR SYSTEM EFFICIENCY, WHERE ALL ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM ARE CONSIDERED AND EVALUATED AGAINST THE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. THE PAPER DISCUSSES FAN EFFICIENCY VS SYSTEM EFFICIENCY, COMPARING A HIGHLY EFFICIENT VANE AXIAL FAN TO A RELATIVELY LESS EFFICIENT PLUG FAN, NOTING HOW IN SOME APPLICATIONS THE LESS EFFICIENT FAN WILL RESULT IN HIGHER SYSTEM EFFICIENCY IN ACHIEVING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA.
