Gotta tell you, some fan classes are pretty boring.
I’ve watched trainer after trainer point out what a good and bad curve looks like.
They talk about fan wheels and what each is good at.
Caleb and I assume you know when to pick a prop instead of a centrifugal.
This isn’t that class.
Here’s the agenda:
- From 5 options to 80: How did fan selection get so complicated?
- A brief history lesson on all the industry changes that led to so many fan selections.
- Sample selection 1 – we’ll use CookSelect to demonstrate orifice rings and reduced width wheels on power roof ventilator selections.
- Shining a light on the motors you select – both induction and permanent magnet – and how they relate to rpm and control.
- Sample selection 2 – we’ll use CookSelect to narrow down 43 direct drive inline centrifugal fans.
- Direct drive considerations for failure. Is your job site prepared if the motor fails or needs to be resized?
- Sample selection 3 – use CookSelect to show how fan laws apply to selecting a “safe” motor size.
Bonus selection – When belt drive makes more sense.
Let’s cut through the noise and make modern fan selections straghtforward again.
Bring your questions and we’ll see you online.
