Fan pumping power requirement to overcome heat exchanger pressure drop
In reply to some of the comments, please note that fan will be installed after the heat exchanger, where the temperature will be around 400F. The pressure drop of 1" is the total of the drop produced by the heat exchanger (this number is given by the heat exchanger supplier) and it also...- MLA65

Fan pumping power requirement to overcome heat exchanger pressure drop
The density at the fan is 0.746Kg/m^3. The fan will be located after the heat exchanger, where the temparature is about 400F. If I use the flow before the Heat Exchanger I get a higher power requirement for the fan than what I would get if I apply the same formula but with the flow after the...- MLA65
