Development of In-Situ Fan Curve Measurement with One Airflow Measurement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
Fan airflow is the key parameter for air volume
tracking control in variable air volume systems. One
of the airflow measurement methods is to determine
airflow using the fan speed, fan head, and fan curve.
Both fan speed ...
