Improving Fan System Performance

Course Description:

Fans are widely used in industrial and commercial applications. From shop ventilation to material handling to boiler applications, fans are critical for process support and human health. In the manufacturing sector, fans use about 78.7 billion kilowatt-hours of energy each year. This consumption represents 15 percent of the electricity used by motors. Similarly, in the commercial sector, electricity needed to operate fan motors composes a large portion of the energy costs for space conditioning.

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Assessing fan system needs
• Understand the fan types
• Know the common fan systems problems
• Indications of oversized fans
