CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. It's a measure of how much air the fan will move, but a higher CFM also means more noise.

How energy in fan is conserved?
Fan power requirements are a function of the CFM (cubic feet per minute) to the cube power. Fan hp = (cfm)3. If a fan at 10,000 CFM uses 10 hp (horsepower), then that same fan running at 9,000 CFM will use (0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 10 hp) = .72 x 10 hp = 7.2 hp - in theory. A electronic variable speed drive (VFD) is the best choice of system to operate a fan at different speeds. In practice there are certain mechanical losses within the entire fan system that reduce the efficiency such that a 10% reduction may be closer to 7.5 or 7.8 hp. Nevertheless, given that ALL fans for HVAC applications are sized for the worst conditions (usually the warmest day of the year), virtually all can operate at 90% output, and usually much less, for most of the year. A fan variable speed drive is the single most important energy saving measure possible with almost all heating and air conditioning applications.
Why does a fan has odd number of wings?
A fan does not have to possess an odd number of blades. The can have any number from two on up. Ceiling fans typically have 3 to 5 blades, with four being extremely common.
If a fan has 4 equally spaced blades what is the least number of degrees that you can rotate the fan onto itself?
72 degrees
What is internal static pressure?
When you are talking you send your sound pressure, but around you is the atmospheric pressure and your waves are on top of that. You are changing a bit but not noticable that nearly static air pressure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure
What does the controller do in a solar panel?
To answer your question with reference to your question "nothing". The question should read.....What does the controller do in a solar air heater? Here is your answer... Airflow matching is critical when designing a solar air heater. Our controller uses a thermistor to constantly monitor inside panel temperature. Our solar air heater programmable circuit design enables preset temperature settings. Multiple temperature set way points enable the fan to either ramp up or down depending on your inside panel temperature. Examples: If a cloud passes between the sun and the panel, the temperature drops. The fan will automatically ramp down. If it's a hazy day, one of the preset temperatures will control CFM output to accommodate the panel temperature. A bright sunny day, the fan will ramp up to full CFM output. True match airflow based on panel temperature ensures maximum efficiency. Factory set to your specification at no charge. Our solar air heater fan systems are programmable circuit design with multiple preset temperature settings. Factory set to your specification at no charge.
What model of ventilation fan for my bathroom would be the most quiet?
There are many quiet ventilation fans on the market today. Some examples of these fans include the Air King 80 CFM Deluxe Ultra Quiet Series Exhaust Fan and the Panamex Airzone EZM70 Deluxe Ventilation Fan.
How do Measure the CFM of Fan and what equipment need to measure the CFM?
Call a Test and Balance Agency.
How much air flow in cfm's comes from a typical 20 inch box fan?
~ 1000 cfm
What is the output on this exhaust fan?
This fan is rated at 277 CFM using 120V of power.
Is it better to have more or less cfm's when choosing a fan?
It is better to have more. CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. The higher the CFM's, the more air it moves.
A fan running at 1250 rpm and one running at 1750 rpm what giving delivering more cfm's?
1. ASSUMING AIR DENSITY AND FAN BLADE DIAMETER IS CONSTANT OR THE SAME --THE LATTER (1750 RPM) DELIVERS MORE CFM WHETHER BELT DRIVEN OR DIRECT COUPLED -- SAME HP RATING OF MOTOR. 2. 1250 RPM FAN CAN MATCH THE CFM OF 1750 RPM FAN --- CHANGE OR ADJUST THE PITCH OF 1250 RPM FAN BLADE. 3. 1250 RPM FAN CAN DELIVER MORE CFM THAN THE 1750 RPM FAN --- REPLACE FAN BLADE. 4. 1250 RPM FAN CAN DELIVER MORE CFM THAN THE 1750 RPM FAN --- REPLACE WITH BIGGER HORSE POWER.
What do CFM in fans?
CFM is a way of saying ft3/min, or cubi feet per minute. It is a measure of the volume of air a fan can move in a minute. Generally speaking, the higher the CFM, the more powerful a fan it is. Or, if you happen to be in the aircraft industry, CFM refers to the company CFM International, a 50-50 joint venture between General Electric of the United States and Snecma in France.
How much cfm does a stock Chevy 350 fan pull I'm lookin' at e fans but not sure how much more cfm they'll pull compared to stock belt driven fan?
2200 to 2500 cfm's Hayden has a chart on the Box. for elec. fans
What is forced ventilation?
A fan is used
How many CFM does a 20 inch box fan move?
7.265
make and model of my ventilation fan for a bathroom.?
You can look on the old ventilation fan that is in your bathroom. Or you can research on the internet what type would be needed in yours.
What is the difference between exhaust and ventilation fan?
Exhaust fan is only use for exhaust the old air, while ventilation fan is use for both purpose intake and exhaust.
