2 Measurement of Fan Component Efficiency

Tim Mathson, Greenheck Fan Corporation
Wire-to-air fan efficiency depends on individual component efficiencies of the fan, motor, V-belt drive, and VFD. The efficiency of each of these components can be evaluated at full rated load as well as at part loads encountered in VAV systems. Tests were conducted and results will be presented for these components including multiple sizes at various loads. These component efficiencies are also compared with the measured overall fan efficiency.
