Information
This example model compares the three power computation methods in a scenario where the fan performance (P vs. V̇) is examined to verify savings of a static pressure reset. The fan speed is controlled to track the duct static pressure at a point downstream while the damper (representing a VAV box) moves from fully closed to fully open. The system was described in Englander and Norford (1992). The fan data are implemented in Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.Data.EnglanderNorford1992.
- The first fan uses the fan curve to estimate the shaft power at reduced speed.
- The second fan uses the Euler number and its correlation to estimate the hydraulic efficiency.
- The third fan assumes a constant hydraulic efficiency.
In the results, P computed from the Euler number and from the power curve agree on the trend of P vs. V̇. Both of them are also able to prevent P from incorrectly going to zero as V̇ approaches zero, which the method with constant efficiency failed.
