The Energy Management Association is teaming up with Cincinnati Fan to host a free AIA-approved webinar. This session will explore the key factors influencing industrial fan performance, including system resistance, pressure losses, and inlet and outlet conditions. Attendees will learn how to calculate system losses, identify installation-related performance issues, and apply system effect factors and best practices to improve fan selection and ensure optimal performance in the field.
Learning Objectives
- Describe how hood entry, duct friction, fittings, accessories, and air density contribute to total system resistance.
- Calculate pressure losses through common industrial ventilation system components.
- Identify inlet and outlet conditions that can cause system effects and reduce fan performance.
- Apply system effect factors and installation best practices to improve fan selection and prevent underperformance.
