Direct Drive <strong>Fan</strong> Selection Procedure<br />
10<br />
Most direct drive applications will have multiple fan size and RPM selections which will satisfy the design requirements.<br />
Selections can be narrowed further by RPM or horsepower restrictions, sound criteria or space restrictions.<br />
The direct drive performance graphs contain fan wheel sizes ranging from 30 to 73 inch diameters and RPMs ranging<br />
from 870 to 1770. All fan sizes and RPMs have fan performance curves in 5 percent increments from a full width wheel<br />
down to a 50% wheel width. Both static pressure vs. CFM (shown as solid lines) and brake horsepower vs. CFM (dashed<br />
lines) are depicted.<br />
Inlet and outlet sound power is shown for all fan sizes and RPMs. Tables of sound power for direct drive fans are found starting<br />
on page 32. Sound power for each selection can be determined by matching fan RPM with the system static pressure.<br />
See page 36 for complete model number code.<br />
Direct Drive <strong>Fan</strong> Selection Example<br />
Enter the performance graph with the desired CFM and Ps. Obtain the percentage wheel width and brake horsepower<br />
requirements.<br />
For this example, select 40,000 CFM at 6 inches static pressure which is shown as 'A'. The static vs CFM curve (solid<br />
line) that satisfies this point of operation has a wheel width of 85%. To determine the brake horsepower, find the<br />
intersection of the brake horsepower vs. CFM curve (dashed line) for a 85% wheel at 40000 CFM (point 'B'). Read the<br />
brake horsepower value from the right side of the table. For this selection, the brake horsepower is approximately 66. A<br />
75 horsepower motor or larger is required. See pages 3 and 4 to find motor frame sizes and check minimum<br />
and maximum motor frame size for Arr. 4 and 8.<br />

Determining Inlet and<br />
Outlet Sound<br />
Enter the fan sound table with<br />
the <strong>Fan</strong> RPM and static<br />
pressure. For this example,<br />
the eight octave ratings are<br />
circled in the table below.<br />
Tables for direct drive sound<br />
power levels are found<br />
starting on page 32.<br />
Note: If the static pressure is<br />
not indicated in the chart, the<br />
eight octave ratings can be<br />
interpolated.<br />
