Good morning,
I have been tasked with exhausting more cfm (adding new equipment) to an already installed industrial exhaust fan that is going to an RTO here at our plant.
I have been told that the capacity of the fan is 15000 ACFM. As I try to eliminate hoods and other not necessary air sources going to the fan to try to free up some capacity for the new equipment, it dawned on me.....how much do I trust "he said she said" tribal knowledge on the capacity of this fan.
So I reached out to New York Blower to get the fan curve on this fan. Fan curves do not make sense to me honestly or are just starting to. This fan curve given to me is for a 250hp mtr and we have a 150hp mtr installed that is running by a VFD. I need to somehow create a fan curve for the way I am running this fan now so I can see if 15000 is indeed the correct number or if its something else.
Please forgive my rooky self as I am trying to learn. I really do notr know how to go about this.
Thanks for any help.
Sid
