AIRFLOW BALANCING
2nd method when adjusting the pulley :
- Close the pulley fully and count the number of turns
from fully closed position. Using table 1 determine the
motor pulley actual diameter.
- Record the fix fan pulley diameter.(DF)
- Determine the fan speed using the following formula:
rpm
FAN
= rpm
MOTOR
x DM / D
F
Where :
rpm
MOTOR
: ....... from the motor plate or table 2
DM : ...................... from t able 1
DF: ........................ from machine
Once the pulleys are adjusted and the belt checked and
tensioned, start the fan motor and record the Amps and
Voltage between the phases :
Using the measured data and table 2
- Theoretical mechanical power at the fan shaft :

This formula can be approximated in this way
P

= V x I x 1.73 x 0.85 x 0.76 x 0.9
With the fan "rpm" and the mechanical power at the fan shaft
an operating point and the supplied airflow can be estimated
using the fan curves.
CHECKING AIRFLOW AND ESP
Using the fan curves on page 25, 26, 27, the airflow, the total
pressure available (P
TOT
) and the corresponding dynamic
pressure (Pd) can now be estimated, for a specific operating
point;
The next step consist in estimating the pressure losses across
the unit.
This can be achieved using the "dirty filter pressure sensor"
and the accessories pressure drop table:
Also the pressure drop due to the duct inlet into the roof-top
unit can be taken as 20 to 30 Pa.

using the results from above, the external static pressure (ESP)
can then be estimated:
