8.1.2 Airflow measurement by differential pressure measurement at the fan
If the fan is provided with pressure test points for airflow measurement and black test points are
provided on the outside of the fan unit (accessories are indicated on the technical data sheet), then
a differential pressure signal can be taken.
The delivered airflow rate can be calculated or displayed from the measured differential pressure.
A so-called K-value and an associated formula are used for calculation or for input into display or
control devices.
Usually, two different formulas and thus two different K-values are in use:
Formula A
Formula B
In this formula, the respective air density at
the fan is taken into account.
In this formula, a variable air density is not taken into
account.
The air density must be determined as a
function of air temperature, air humidity, sea
level and atmospheric pressure.
Instead, a "fixed" air density of 1.20 kg/m
3
is as-
sumed.
With the following formulas, the airflow rate can be determined from the pressure signal:

If several fans in a fan section are operated in parallel with the same speed, then the total airflow
rate is accordingly a multiple of the calculated individual airflow rate.
With the following formulas, the setpoint Δp

can be determined for a certain airflow rate (e.g. for di-
mensioning a pressure sensor, for constant airflow rate control):
