VENTILaTION : AIRFLOW BALANCING
2nd method when adjusting the pulley :
-Close the pulley fully and count the number of turns from
fully closed position. Using table 1 determine the motor
pulley actual diameter.
-Record the fix fan pulley diameter.(DF)
-Determine the fan speed using the following formula:
rpm

Once the pulleys are adjusted and the belt checked and
tensioned, start the fan motor and record the Amps and
Voltage between the phases :
Using the measured data and table 2

This formula can be approximated in this way
P

= V x I x 1.73 x 0.85 x 0.76 x 0.9
With the fan "rpm" and the mechanical power at the fan
shaft an operating point and the supplied airflow can be
estimated using the fan curves.
CHECKING AIRFLOW AND ESP
Using the fan curves on page 25, 26, 27, the airflow, the
total pressure available (P
TOT
) and the corresponding
dynamic pressure (Pd) can now be estimated, for a
specific operating point;
The next step consist in estimating the pressure losses
across the unit.
This can be achieved using the "dirty filter pressure
sensor" and the accessories pressure drop table:
Also the pressure drop due to the duct inlet into the roof-
top unit can be taken as 20 to 30 Pa.
