disturbances for your employees and neighbors. Additional protective
measures may have to be taken, such as enclosing the fans and ducts in
sound-dampening material.
We recommend shutters on the air inlets and outlets so the room may be
sealed off to prevent freezing in cold climates.
4.4.3.
Vehicle cooling
The heat released by the vehicle cooling system, engine block, trans-
mission, and exhaust, should be evacuated by the main room ventilation
system. In many cases, the airflow patterns resulting from the room
ventilation system do not provide adequate cooling of certain vehicle
components. The vehicle cooling system, engine compartment, and
exhaust system, are usually the most troublesome areas. To compensate
for this deficiency, spot cooling fans are recommended. Although these
fans do not increase the overall airflow through the room, they modify
the local patterns and speeds of the airflow to accomplish specific
goals. High speed fans are commonly used for these tasks. Some racing
vehicles require air speed through the radiator at near road-speed.
Achieving high flows at high speeds requires tremendous power. This
explains why many high-performance chassis dyno rooms resemble
wind tunnels, with fans of several hundred horsepower. As an example,
to achieve 200-mph (320 km/h) air through a radiator cooling a 1000 HP
(750 kW) engine at WOT, the electrical power for the fan exceeds 300 HP
(220 kW)!
If your requirements do not quite reach these levels, you should
purchase a couple of mobile high-speed fans of 5000-10000 cfm (8500-
17000 m3/hr), which can be positioned in critical areas.
The chart below shows the pressure required to achieve a certain air
speed.
