Drive selection
1.
Determine side or bottom supply duct application.
2.
Determine the required airflow.
3.
Calculate or measure the amount of external static pressure.
4.
With the operating point determined from steps 1, 2, and 3, locate this point on the appropriate supply air blower performance
table. Linear interpolation may be necessary.
5.
Note the RPM and BHP from step 4 and locate the appropriate motor and/or drive.
6.
Review the BHP compared to the motor options available. Select the appropriate motor and/or drive.
7.
Review the RPM range for the motor options available. Select the appropriate drive if multiple drives are available for the
chosen motor.
8.
Determine the turns open to obtain the required operation point.
Example
1.
2600 CFM
2.
1.6 iwg
3.
Using the supply air blower performance table below, the following data point was located: 1268 RPM & 1.95 BHP.
4.
Using the RPM selection table below, Size X and Model Y is found.
5.
1.95 BHP exceeds the maximum continuous BHP rating of the 1.5 HP motor. The 2 HP motor is required.
6.
1268 RPM is within the range of the 2 HP drives.
7.
Using the 2 HP motor and drive, .5 turns open achieves 1268 RPM.
