PLENUM DESIGNThe capacity tables on pages 7, 8, and 9 are based on laboratory tests of Air Kits withoutplenums [no restriction to airflow]. When Air Kits are mounted in restricted areas, the performancemay be affected. The following plenum information will assist the system designer inidentifying and applying the appropriate correction factors to obtain the desired catalog rating.OPEN PLENUM Air enters from more than one direction.CHART IOPEN PLENUM FACTORSDo not use for closed plenums.A in % ofwheel diameterMultiplyRPM by BHP by33 1 ⁄3% or more 1.00 1.0030% 1.01 1.0325% 1.04 1.1320% 1.10 1.3315% or less Poor designDoubleAir KitA 2A AAASingleAir KitCLOSED PLENUM Air enters from only one direction.Air Kit performance willchange due to restriction atthe inlet or spinning of airinto inlet.

AIR KIT ENGINEERINGGENERALAir Kits are an integral part of the ovens and dryers inwhich they are installed. As such, New York Blower salesrepresentatives work closely with OEM project engineersin assessing requirements and meeting critical performanceand dimensional specifications. Because of thewide variety of plenum designs and Air Kit configurationsavailable final selection should be made using New YorkBlower’s Electronic Catalog software.SINGLE OR DOUBLE AIR KITSThe choice of a single or double fan arrangement mustbe made to determine specific fan capabilities. Spaceavailability, uniform air distribution, performance requirements,and past plenum designs must all be consideredin the choice of single or double Air Kits.CORRECTION FACTORSFan performance is based on actual cubic feet per minute[ACFM] at the fan inlet at standard density [.075 lbs./ft. 3 ]and static pressure at the fan outlet. Static pressurecapabilities are shown in inches water gauge [”WG].Air-density corrections are necessary for proper selectionwhen air density varies from the standard .075 lbs./ft. 3 at70°F. at sea level. Multiply the required static pressure atoperating conditions by the appropriate factors in ChartsIV and V to obtain the corrected static pressure for standardconditions. Pressure and BHP will be reduced atconditions by the inverse of these factors. Multiply onefactor by the other if both temperature and altitude arenon-standard. For example, if the installation is located atan altitude of 4000 feet and the gas temperature is300°F., the correction factor is 1.66 [1.16 x 1.43].CHART IVALTITUDE [ft.]CORRECTIONSAltitude Factor0 1.00500 1.021000 1.041500 1.062000 1.082500 1.103000 1.123500 1.144000 1.164500 1.185000 1.205500 1.236000 1.25CHART VTEMPERATURECORRECTIONSTemp. °F.

The safe speed of thecomplete Air Kit is the lower of the corrected wheel andshaft speeds.Temp.°F.CHART VIAIR KIT WHEEL AND SHAFTTEMPERATURE DERATESWheelShaftSteel 304 316 347 Steel 31670 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.96200 0.96 0.93 0.96 0.96 0.99 0.95300 0.92 0.88 0.92 0.93 0.98 0.94400 0.89 0.84 0.89 0.91 0.97 0.93500 0.86 0.80 0.85 0.89 0.96 0.92600 0.83 0.78 0.84 0.87 0.94 0.91700 0.80 0.75 0.82 0.86 0.92 0.90800 0.67 0.74 0.80 0.84 0.89 0.89900 — — 0.79 0.83 — 0.871000 — — 0.78 0.81 — 0.86HEAT FANSFans handling hot airstreams must be kept in operationafter system shutdown until the airstream cools below200°F. to prevent damage to the fan. The fan wheel orshaft might otherwise distort due to “heat-soaking”. Theoptional shaft cooler is only effective while rotating.Contact nyb when the application involves temperaturechanges greater than 20°F. per minute.Gas and oil burners should be placed such that the air isthoroughly mixed before entering the fan inlet. Placingthe burner so that a very hot stream of air enters one faninlet could cause unusually high temperature and fan failure.High-limit temperature controls should be placed atthe fan inlet or inlets.PAGE 5
