  2. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    Figure 1: Components of a centrifugal fan An external motor belt driven inline centrifugal fan discharging inline to the exterior of a building through a duct. Unlike non-inline/non-concentric impeller casing design with a cutoff blade above, the concentrically symetric cylinder casing and impeller geometry of inline type redirects the outflow around so that it is parallel to the inflow of gases.

  3. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    If more than one formula is applicable in the flow regime under consideration, the choice of formula may be influenced by one or more of the following: Required accuracy; Speed of computation required; Available computational technology: calculator (minimize keystrokes) spreadsheet (single-cell formula) programming/scripting language (subroutine).

  4. Roots blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_blower

    An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.

  5. Actual cubic feet per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_cubic_feet_per_minute

    Actual cubic feet per minute (ACFM) is a unit of volumetric flow. It is commonly used by manufacturers of blowers and compressors. [1] This is the actual gas delivery with reference to inlet conditions, whereas cubic foot per minute (CFM) is an unqualified term and should only be used in general and never accepted as a specific definition without explanation.

  6. Specific fan power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_fan_power

    Specific Fan Power (SFP) is a parameter that quantifies the energy-efficiency of fan air movement systems.It is a measure of the electric power that is needed to drive a fan (or collection of fans), relative to the amount of air that is circulated through the fan(s).

  7. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fan

    Industrial fans and blowers are machines whose primary function is to provide and accommodate a large flow of air or gas to various parts of a building or other structures. This is achieved by rotating a number of blades, connected to a hub and shaft, and driven by a motor or turbine .

  8. Blower door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

    This same method can be used to calculate airflow at a variety of pressures, for use in creation of other blower door metrics. An alternative approach to the multi-point procedure is to only measure fan airflow and building pressure differential at a single test point, such as 50 Pa, and then use an assumed pressure exponent, n Building in the ...

  9. Airlift pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlift_pump

    This air is usually compressed by a compressor or a blower. The air is injected in the lower part of a pipe that transports a liquid. By buoyancy the air, which has a lower density than the liquid, rises quickly. By fluid pressure, the liquid is taken in the ascendant air flow and moves in the same direction as the air.
