Description
After a performance test is completed, the data is used to calculate the fan parameters such as flow, fan static pressure, fan static efficiency fan total pressure, and so on. This self-guided course uses two completely separate avenues to teach the calculation method. In the first, you learn the calculations and their order by navigating your way through the problem, which is presented as a learning puzzle. We have fondly named it "the labyrinth" because as you navigate the challenge, you are exploring the relationships between the variables. In the second approach you approach the calculations in linear order and learn how to program them into a pre-formatted spreadsheet that you can use on future projects. The second approach is optional. Includes pdf course notes that are handy for future reference, and make it easier for you to follow along, especially if English is not your first language. Includes IP - SI spreadsheet calculator for unit conversion. You can leave the course and the system will save your progress for when you come back. Explore or re-visit topics in the sequence you desire. Learning activities and quiz questions keep you engaged in the topics. SI units only. Allow at least 2 or 4 hours in your schedule for completing this course, depending on which parts you choose to do.
