Provides information on testing and rating power plant fans and covers construction features and related accessories. Sample equipment specifications are included which outline the information a fan manufacturer requires to select the best fan for an application. Common...
Purpose and Scope This standard defines the calculation method for the fan energy index (FEI), which is an energy efficiency metric for fans inclusive of motors and drives. This metric provides a standardized and consistent basis to compare fan energy performance across...
The scope includes fans having an impeller diameter of 125 mm (5 in.) or greater, operating with an impeller shaft power of 750 W (1 hp) and above and having a fan total efficiency calculated according to one of the following fan test standards: ANSI/AMCA Standard 210,...
The scope of this standard is limited to induced flow fans, as defined below. The parties to a test, for guarantee purposes, may agree on exceptions to this standard in writing prior to the test. However, only tests that do not violate any mandatory requirements of this standard shall be...
Product Scope Products that can be licensed by AMCA International to bear the AMCA Certified Ratings Program seal for sound ratings are centrifugal fans, axial fans, power roof ventilators, air curtains, agricultural fans and other air moving devices within the...
Product Scope Products that can be licensed by AMCA International to bear the AMCA Certified Ratings Program seal for sound ratings are centrifugal fans, axial fans, power roof ventilators, air curtains, agricultural fans and other air moving devices within the...
Purpose and Scope The purpose of this manual is to prescribe technical procedures to be used in connection with the AMCA Certified Ratings Program for fan air performance. Products that can be licensed by AMCA to bear the AMCA certified ratings seals are those defined in...
This document pertains to the FEG metric as defined in ANSI/AMCA Standard 205 [1] and ISO Standard 12759 [2]. Purpose The fan efficiency grade (FEG) is an energy metric that describes the quality of energy transformation of a fan. The FEG metric is designed for establishing...
This standard covers fans with rigid rotors generally found in commercial heating, ventilating and air conditioning; industrial process applications; mine/tunnel ventilation applications; and power generation applications. Other applications are not specifically excluded, except as follows:...
This publication applies to centrifugal and axial fans. Criteria are provided for establishing geometric and dynamic similarity between the model and the full-size fan, including appurtenances and drives. This document does not deal with structural details, mechanical properties or...
This standard covers field-installed airflow measurement stations for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning applications. This standard establishes uniform test methods for the determination of the performance characteristics and accuracy of airflow measurement stations under varied airflow...
Purpose This part of the AMCA Fan Application Manual includes general information about how fans are tested in the laboratory, and how their performance ratings are calculated and published. It also reviews some of the more important reasons for the "loss" of fan...
Tests conducted in accordance with the requirements of this standard are intended to demonstrate the acceptability of the louver in which water infiltration must be kept to manageable amounts during a high velocity wind driven rain event. The test specimen can be approved in either an open or...
This standard may be used as a basis for testing dampers when air is used as the test gas. A test conducted in accordance with the requirements of this standard is intended to demonstrate the performance of a damper and is not intended to determine acceptability level for a damper. It is not within...
Products that can be licensed by AMCA International to bear the AMCA Certified Ratings Seal for a Smoke Management Fan are centrifugal fans, mixed flow fans, axial fans, power roof ventilators and propeller fans. The program applies to fans...
The scope of this document covers both new and existing fan installations. It covers aerodynamic performance as well as noise, vibration and mechanical issues. This document is intended to help identify and fix relatively common problems, but it does not address every possible issue. If the...
This publication outlines the application of louvers, including selection for pressure drop, air leakage, water penetration and sound reduction. Examples of louver selection are included. "System Effects," An important section in this publication, should not be overlooked when applying performance...
This standard is intended to apply to fans of all types and sizes. This standard is limited to the determination of airborne sound emission for the specified setups. Vibration is not measured, and the sensitivity of airborne sound emission to vibration effects is not determined. The size of...
Purpose The purpose of the AMCA International Certified Ratings Program (CRP) is as follows: To provide the buyer, user and specifier assurance that the manufacturer's published performance ratings of air system components are reliable, accurate and in compliance with applicable national and...
