The main characteristics of the fans are the following parameters: air consumption (m>3/h), total pressure (Pa), rotation speed – rotations per minute (rpm), power consumption spent on the fan drive (kW), EFFICIENCY – the efficiency of the fan, taking into account mechanical power losses due to various types of friction in the fan working bodies, volume losses as a result of leaks through seals and aerodynamic losses in the flow part of the fan, the sound pressure level (dB).
3.4. Supply installations
The supply units (Fig.5) filter fresh air, if necessary, heat it (in the cold season) and supply it to the duct system for subsequent distribution around the premises.
Fig.5. The supply unit
Inlet ventilation units consist of a housing in which are mounted: filter, water or electric heater, fan, automation system, sound insulation material,
Conditionally, Inlet installations can be divided into several types:
by type of heater (with an electric heater or with a water heater), by air consumption (up to 200–3000 m>3/h – mini-supply installations, more than 3000 m>3/h – central supply installations), by design (for vertical installation, for horizontal mounting, universal)
The automatic control system of the supply unit allows you to gradually or smoothly adjust the thermal power of the electric heater. If a water heater is used in the supply unit, then the automation has a more complex design, since in this case it is necessary to provide additional protection against freezing of the heater in winter.
In ventilation systems with supply installations, the following additional elements can be used: air intake grilles, a valve for supply air (with an electric drive or manual drive), mufflers, devices for adjusting air flow in rooms, air distribution devices (diffusers, grilles, plafonds).
Structurally, the chambers are a monoblock structure and can be equipped with automatic control of various levels of complexity from simple functions such as START, STOP, OPEN-CLOSE VALVE, to programmable control of parameters (room temperature, performance, temperature inside the chamber, etc.) along a continuous circuit.
The supply chamber includes the following elements:
A double-sided suction fan, which is attached to the frame traverses through rubber vibration isolators. The frame is made of aluminum profiles and connecting corners.
