AMCA250 Introduction to Using ISO 5802 for Measuring Fan Systems In-Situ (AMCA250)


Description

ISO 5802 lays out a standard test procedure for measuring the in-situ performance (flow, fan pressure, and power) of fans. Whereas catalog tests of fans are conducted under nearly ideal laboratory conditions, fans that are installed in industrial facilities usually are faced with conditions that are far from ideal. The poor conditions faced by the as-installed fans also make it a challenge to get an accurate measurement of the flow and fan pressure, so ISO standard 5802 lays out a standard procedure to be followed in order to get the most accurate results possible, even under poor testing conditions.
In this qualitative course you will be introduced to: what measurements need to be taken (flow, pressure, power); how to take them; where to take them; who should take them; and when to take them. Measuring a fan is an advanced skill in fan system optimization engineering, and like other advanced skills one must practice under the tutelage of a mentor before embarking on such a critical and possibly dangerous task on one’s own. This course and the companion courses in this series are meant as a compliment to that mentor relationship, not a substitute for it.
