All the aerodynamic performance curves given
in the catalogue have been obtained by using a
test chamber with submerged orifice and auxi-
liary fan, described in Standard Specification
CCT 18-10. The performance curves are drawn
up for an air density of 1.2 kg/m
Test equipments
Description of the test equipment, method and
use, necessary formula to calculate flow and
pressure from instrument readings are given
in detail in CCT 18-10, to which reference
should be made for further information. Details
are given here of the test equipment and its
functioning from a practical viewpoint. The test
equipment takes the form of a large cylindrical
chamber arranged to take at one end the fan
under test and extended at the other end by a
duct connected to the auxiliary fan. In the duct
there is a shutter (b) and an inlet for ambient air,
which is controlled by shutter (a). An air tight

bulkhead is situated in the cylindrical chamber
in which is the orifice for flow measurement.
Pressure tappings P2 and P3 are positioned
on each side of the bulkhead. A honey comb
grid and metal meshs ensure stable airflow
upstream of the orifice. Pressure tapping P1 is
situated close to the end wall on which the fan
under test is mounted.
Because of the large dimensions of the chamber
in relation to the fan under test, the dynamic
pressure due to the velocity of the air is com-
pletely lost and static pressure is read directly
from a manometer connected to the tapping P1.
The purpose of the auxiliary fan is to cancel out
the aerodynamic resistance of the equipment,
thereby allowing the fan under test to operate
at free air conditions.
Operation (Fig.16)
With the fan under test and the auxiliary fan
both running, shutters (a) and (b) are adjusted
to give a zero reading of static pressure on P1.
