AIRFLOW BALANCING
EXAMPLE
The unit used for this example is a FHK 060N with standard supply and return airflow configuration. It is also fitted with an
economiser and an electric heater type H.
It is fitted with a AT 18-18 fan which curve is shown on page xxx and a 2.2 kW motor.
- Motor rpm : 1430 rpm
- cos ϕ = 0.81
- Voltage = 400 V
- Current = 4,68A

- Fixed Fan pulley : 250 mm
- Motor adjustable pulley type "8450" opened 1 turn from fully closed or measured distance between pulley end plates is
21,8 mm: from table xxx it can be determined that the motor pulley has a diameter of 111,8 mm

The pressure losses in the unit are the
sum of all pressure drops across the
different parts of a unit :
- Coil and filter (measured) = 105 Pa
- Options = 6 Pa for economiser and
8 Pa for electric heater H
∆P = 105 + 6 + 8 =
119 Pa
