Abbreviations, Fan Terminology and Definitions
ARR. Arrangement of fan.
BHP Brake horsepower, the fans power consumption.
CCW Counterclockwise. Used to describe the rotation of an impeller. Rotation is determined by viewing the impeller
from the drive side on centrifugal fans. Determining the rotation is not a factor on axial and inline centrifugal
fans.
CFM Cubic feet per minute, the volume of air moved per minute.
CL Class of fan. The class identifies the limit of the fans performance range.
CW Clockwise. Used to describe the rotation of an impeller. Rotation is determined by viewing the impeller from
the drive side on centrifugal fans.
dBA Estimated sound pressure level in the space using A weighting.
DWDI Double width double inlet.
EFFICIENCY A Ratio of the useful energy (work) provided by a system to the energy supplied to it. Used to provide a rela-
tive performance comparison of fans.
FPM Feet per minute, the velocity of the airstream.
HP Horsepower, the fans motor size.
I.D. Inside diameter of fan, duct or transition.
Lp Sound Pressure Level. Describes the loudness level of the sound, like the brightness level of a light bulb. This
value varies with the distance from the sound source and the environment surrounding the sound source. Sound
pressure is usually expressed in decibels with a reference level to 0.0002 microbars.
Lw Sound Power Level. Describes the total amount of acoustical energy the fan emits, like the watt rating of a light
bulb describes the total amount of energy the light emits. This value is independent of location, distance, and
environment. Sound power is usually expressed in decibels with a reference level to 1012 watts.
LwA Sound Power Level A weighted. This is a single value representing the fans overall sound power level. A weight-
ing adjusts the sound power level for the response of the human ear. This value is often used in the calculation
of sound pressure levels.
ME Mechanical efficiency (or Total efficiency). Mechanical efficiency is a ratio of the total fan power output to the
power supplied to the fan. Mechanical efficiency uses total pressure, which includes the kinetic energy, to calcu-
late the efficiency.
O.D. Outside diameter of fan, duct or transition.
OV Outlet velocity, the average air velocity at the outlet of the fan. Outlet velocity is calculated by dividing the CFM
by outlet area.
RPM Revolutions per minute, the number of rotations the fan shaft makes per minute.
SE Static efficiency. Static efficiency is a ratio of the fan power output to the power supplied to the fan. Static effi-
ciency uses static pressure, which does not include the kinetic energy, to calculate the efficiency. It can be found
by multiplying the Mechanical efficiency by the ratio of the fan static pressure to the fan total pressure.
SP Static pressure is the measure of the potential energy of the airstream. SP acts equally in all directions. It is this
pressure in the duct that tends to burst or collapse the duct.
SWSI Single width single inlet.
TP Total pressure, the measure of the energy content of the airstream. It is the sum of static pressure (SP) and
velocity pressure (VP).
TS Tip speed, the speed of the fan blade tip.
VP Velocity pressure, the measure of the energy content of the airstream. Velocity pressure acts in the direction of
the airflow. It is the pressure necessary to accelerate the air.

SYSTEM CURVE EQUATION
The following formula is used to find other points on the system line when SP1 and CFM1 are known. Most, but not all, systems
follow this relationship.
