Part 3 of the Fan Application Manual, helps to identify and correct problems with the performance and operation of the air moving system after fan installation. AMCA Publication 203 - Field Performance Measurement of Fan Systems. Part 4 of the Fan Application Manual, reviews the methods of making field measurements for calculating the actual ...
Air flow control (CAV or VAV air handlers) Zone control (single zone or multi zone air handlers) Fan location (draw-through or blow-through) Direction of outlet air flow (front, up, or down) Package model (horizontal or vertical) But, the first method is very usual in HVAC market. In fact, most of the company advertise their products by air ...
Supply diffusers in the ceiling are fed by fan coil units in the ceiling void or by air handling units in a remote plant room. The fan coil or handling unit takes in return air from the ceiling void and mix this with fresh air and cool, or heat it, as required to achieve the room design conditions. This arrangement is known as 'conventional ...
A High-volume low-speed fan. A high-volume low-speed (HVLS) fan is a type of mechanical fan greater than 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter. [1] HVLS fans are generally ceiling fans although some are pole mounted. HVLS fans move slowly and distribute large amounts of air at low rotational speed– hence the name "high volume, low speed."
Air streams are mixed to save energy and improve energy efficiency by partially recirculating conditioned air.. The most common application for an air-mixing plenum is the mixing of return air (or extract air) with fresh air to provide a supply air mixture for onward distribution to the building or area which the ventilation system is serving.

The energy assessment of UFAD systems has not been extensive, but some studies indicates potential energy savings due the lower pressure drop and lower air flow rate. Typical plenum pressures are 25 pascals (0.0036 psi) (0.1 inch of water column) or less. [8]
The fan maintains a constant static pressure in the discharge duct regardless of the position of the VAV box. Therefore, as the box closes, the fan slows down or restricts the amount of air going into the supply duct. As the box opens, the fan speeds up and allows more air flow into the duct, maintaining a constant static pressure. [11]
Air can be exhausted through pressurized hoods or the use of fans and pressurizing a specific area. [35] A local exhaust system is composed of five basic parts: A hood that captures the contaminant at its source; Ducts for transporting the air; An air-cleaning device that removes/minimizes the contaminant; A fan that moves the air through the ...
