Purpose This standard provides a method to estimate the input power
16、and overall efficiency of an extended fan system. An extended fan system is composed of a fan and an electric motor but may also include a transmission and a motor controller. While direct measurement of fan system performance is preferred, the large number of fan system configurations often makes t
17、esting impractical. This standard offers a standardized method to estimate fan system performance by modeling commonly used components. Calculations reported in accordance with this standard offers fan users a tool to compare alternative fan system configurations in a consistent and uniform manner.
18、This document does not provide selection guidance. Users must assure that selected components have sufficient capacity and are configured to produce the desired results. 2. Scope The scope of this standard includes all electric motor driven fan systems that use a specific combination of components a

Fan airflow performance tested in accordance with ANSI/AMCA Standard 210 1 ANSI/AMCA Standard 230 2, ANSI/AMCA Standard 260 3 or ISO Standard 5801 4 or rated in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 5. 2.

20、GB 18613 8. Other types of motors are explicitly excluded. 3. Pulse-width modulated variable frequency drives (VFDs). 4. Mechanical power transmissions that use V-belts, synchronous belts, or flexible couplings. 3. Definitions and Symbols For the purpose of this standard, the definitions, units of m

Conventional V-belts have a constant cross section along their length, while notched V-belts (also known as cogged V-belts) have slots running perpen

This standard does not account for this improved efficiency. 3.1.3 Synchronous belt power transmission Drive belts having a substantially rectangular cross section that contains teet

Fan System Energy Calculations (General) This section describes the calculations required to estimate the extended fan system input power and extended fan system efficiency. Calculations start with
29、the fan performance and then progress through each fan system component. 4.1 Components 4.1.1 Fan Fan input power, Hi, is the starting point for the system calculation. Fan performance shall be determined in accordance with an accepted performance standard such as ANSI/AMCA Standard 210, ANSI/AMCA S
30、tandard 230, ANSI/AMCA Standard 260 or ISO 5801. The fan laws shall be used to determine fan performance at operating conditions other than those tested. For calculation of the fan system input power (Wc), the following performance variables must be available for the desired fan operating point: Hi
31、Fan input (shaft) power in kW (hp) To calculate the overall fan system efficiency, the following must also be available: s Fan static efficiency AMCA Publication 207 | 3 or T Fan total efficiency 4.1.2 Power transmission The power transmission is a component of the fan system that transfers power fr
32、om the motor to the fan, most often involving a speed change. The transmission is not present in direct drive configurations where the motor is directly coupled to the fan shaft or impeller. 4.1.2.1 V-belt power transmission The efficiency of a V-belt transmission is calculated as nullnullnull0.96nu

AMCA Publication 207 | 4 4.1.3.1 Regulated polyphase induction motors controlled by a VFD Calculations presented here are limited to certain regulated polyphase induction motors driven by pul
37、se-width modulated VFDs. Applicable motors include those regulated within the scope of EPCA, IEC 60034-30 or GB 18613. The following motor and VFD parameters must be known: Hmo Motor nameplate output power n Number of motor poles TEFC or ODP Motor enclosure Hco VFD output capacity The motor and vari
38、able frequency drive efficiencies are combined into a single value. For purposes of this standard, the output capacity of the VFD is defined as the largest motor the VFD is capable of driving. VFD output capacity will generally match the rated output power of the motor (Hco = Hmo). The calculation a
39、llows for a VFD with output capacity greater than that of the driven motor (e.g., a 7.5 hp capacity VFD driving a 5 hp motor). This accommodates a situation in which the driven motor is operated at a load ratio greater than one. These calculations assume that the VFD is operating with a constant V/H
40、z output, and they should result in a conservative estimate. There are other algorithms that can result in lower input power. The motor output power at the fan operating point is calculated by nullnullnullnullnullnullnullwhere Hi is the fan input power and B is the transmission efficiency calculated
41、 from Section 4.1.2. The combined motor and VFD efficiency is calculated in the following steps. First, the motor efficiency is calculated as nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnull where B is the nominal motor efficiency obtained from Table A1 (EPCA), Table A2 (
42、IEC 63034-30-1) or Table A3 (GB 18613), depending on the applicable motor configuration. Lm is the motor load ratio calculated by nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnull0 null nullnullnull 1.5null and a and b are motor coefficients obtained from Table B1 (motor output power rating in hp) or Table B2 (m
43、otor output power rating in kW), depending on the applicable motor configuration. The coefficient c is calculated as nullnull1nullnullnullnull1The VFD load ratio is based on the required VFD output (motor input) and is calculated as nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullwhere Hco is the output cap
44、acity of the VFD. AMCA Publication 207 | 5 The combined motor and VFD efficiency is calculated by nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnull The coefficients d, e and f are found in Table C1 (hp) or Table C2 (kW) for the appropriate VFD capacity. In situations where
45、 a single VFD is used to control several identical motors operating in parallel, the load ratio for the VFD is replaced by LnullnullnnullHnullnullHnullnullwhere nm is the number of motors controlled by the VFD. Advisory note: The VFD and motor models used for this calculation are based on constant V
46、/Hz operation and pure sine wave power. In practice, other control settings are sometimes adopted to improve energy efficiency or to better match VFD output to actual fan operating conditions. This document does not provide selection guidance. Users must assure that selected components have sufficie
47、nt capacity and are configured to produce the desired results. The purpose here is to provide a consistent calculation procedure for comparing multiple fan systems when actual test data are not available. The output capacity of the VFD must equal or exceed the required input to the motor. 4.1.3.2 Re
