<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You're right, Bill, my 0.5 in. H2O was
too low, but we use very small fans all the time in residential
installations that run lower than that. So when I do a LEED or
90.1 or CA T-24, I know the fan power is lower than the motor
nameplate, but I have trouble getting the small fan manufacturers
to even know what fan efficiency is... Alas...<br>
<br>
I really appreciate the reference to mechanical efficiency in the
ASHRAE Pocket Guide. I'm going to go after that now.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your thoughts and insight.<br>

apologize for confusing motor efficiency with fan mechanical
efficiency. Since section 6.5.3.1 describes the maximum
allowable fan power, we can expect it to use conservative
allowances for mechanical efficiency and static pressure.
Using the allowance for bhp (bhp CFM<sub>S</sub>*0.00094 +
A) and neglecting the pressure drop adjustments (A), we can
determine static pressures (SP) for a range of mechanical
efficiencies by setting 0.00094 = SP/(6356xefficiency).
Using a range of mechanical efficiencies from 0.4 to 0.6
(ASHRAE Pocket Guide, 7<sup>th</sup> ed. p. 246), we get a
range of static pressures from 2.4” to 3.6” w.g. That’s
higher than your 0.5”, but seems reasonable to me for
determining max allowable fan power.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Bill,<br>
<br>
I verified that the references you gave lead to the result
of the calculation in the spreadsheet, but if the
theoretical calculation below has any validity at all, the
assumed fan efficiency in 90.1 is about 8%. I used a fan
static pressure rise of .5 in. H2O. <br>
<br>
So, this fan efficiency seems a little low to me.<br>
<br>
You said "Fan efficiency is from ASHRAE 90.1, Table 10.8 as
described in G3.1.2.9." but Table 10.8 is Fan Motor
efficiency, which is about 85%. I have no problem with
that, but to use the theoretical fan power equation I need
the Fan efficiency. Do you have any idea what fan
efficiency is assumed in 90.1?<br>
<br>
I also notice that the fan power calculation in 90.1 does
not include a pressure rise component, which I find odd. Is
the pressure rise across the fan assumed somewhere? From
the checks described above, it appears to be about .5 in.
H2O. Does this seem reasonable?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Your thoughts?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I believe I have written about this in
the past, but since this seems to be on-topic, I'll bring
it up again.<br>
<br>
The theoretical fan power equation, Fan BHP = (cfm x
static press "w.c.) / (6356 x fan efficiency) can be used
to calculate the theoretical fan BHP, but you need the fan
efficiency. This seems to be NOT the way the BHP is being
calculated by the spreadsheet that was attached
previously.<br>
<br>
Is there a reason for that?<br>
<br>
Was there an assumed fan efficiency used in the
spreadsheet, and was it based on anything particular, or
just a conservative assumption?<br>

not. Review the difference between CFM<sub>S</sub> and

quantity representing the airflow each element

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a doubt regarding calculating
fan power as per ASHRAE 90.1-2007.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My proposed system has, supply return
andexhaustfansseparatelywith kW and cfm mentioned
for each fan.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, for calculating baseline fan
power,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. should I calculate it separately
for each fan type?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. can I take pressure drop
adjustment both in supply and return fan power
calculation?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. should I sum all the cfms of
supply, return and exhaust and than apply pressure drop
adjustments toaggregatedcfm.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kindly help me out in solving the
doubt. If you have any example fan power calculations,
or web links those could guide me regarding this, plz do
share them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
