Equipment Performance Studies

The studies involve measuring flow, differential pressure, fan speed as well as motor input power to assess operating efficiency of the individual fans & blowers.

Measuring the flow with anemometer (vane or hot wire type) or Pitot tube, depending on the application

Gauging Pressure at suction and discharge of the fan with digital manometer gauge; wherever possible

Determining Power with clamp on power meter 

Computing Pneumatic Power to assess overall Efficiency of the fan & blower (and motor)

Comparing the values with the design data to analyzing the gaps, if any.

Assessing the performance and suggesting ways for improvement, as applicable

Submitting the report

A team of two engineers is deputed to carry out the studies and furnishing the report. The field visit is typically for 5 to 6 hours; during which up to 10 measurements can be carried out depending upon initial preparations, conditions of ducting systems and support from the plant team.
