Formula and assumptions

r = RPM₂/RPM₁; Q₂ = Q₁r; ΔP₂ = ΔP₁r²; P₂ = P₁r³

Same fan diameter, air density and efficiency assumed. Similar operating points only; check fan curve, motor capacity and maximum speed.

STEP BY STEP

How to use fan law calculator

  1. Check the input units and assumptions.
  2. Review the result and example.

IN PRACTICE

Example

1000 → 1200 RPM; 1000 m³/h → 1200 m³/h; 100 Pa → 144 Pa; 1 kW → 1.728 kW.

GOOD TO KNOW

How is this result calculated?

r = RPM₂/RPM₁; Q₂ = Q₁ × r; ΔP₂ = ΔP₁ × r²; Power₂ = Power₁ × r³. Same fan diameter, air density and efficiency assumed. Similar operating points only; check fan curve, motor capacity and maximum speed.
