What motor power choose to drive the fan?

A fast calculation gives :

Power absorbed by the fan :

Pabs.  = Q x H / (100 x η),

with

  • Pabs in kW
  • Q in m³/s
  • H in daPa
  • The efficiency of the fan ρ = 0.75 as middle value.

 

To this value a factor of 15% should be add, then we choose the first standard power motor higher than the calculated value.
