Description
This module provides a comprehensive overview of fan fundamentals, focusing on the critical relationship between fan speed, airflow, static pressure, and horsepower consumption. Learners will explore foundational fan laws, including how static pressure varies as a function of the change in speed squared, and how brake horsepower varies as a function of speed cubed. The course also covers the aerodynamic and physical considerations necessary for proper fan selection ensuring systems operate effectively in the field.

AMCA educational courses are developed by or in collaboration with the same subject matter experts who help shape AMCA standards. Professional Development Hours (PDHs), where applicable, are issued through AMCA's Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) provider accreditation.
Objectives
- Apply core fan laws to calculate performance changes in airflow (CFM), static pressure (SP), and brake horsepower (BHP) resulting from speed adjustments.
- Describe different flow control methods and the core physical considerations required for accurate fan selection.
- Compare various fan and wheel types, and explain how non-standard air conditions impact the overall selection process.
