Why Your Fan Doesn’t Perform Like the Datasheet Says


Listen Later

Laboratory data looks precise, but real-world conditions tell a different story. In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we explore how environmental factors like altitude, air density and temperature significantly influence fan performance.

Why does thinner air reduce airflow mass? How does internally generated heat affect sensitive environments such as cleanrooms or laboratories? And why can’t engineers rely on standard performance curves alone?

We break down the physics behind atmospheric corrections and explain why mathematical adjustments are essential for accurate, energy-efficient system design. A must-listen for anyone who wants ventilation systems to perform not just on paper, but in reality.
