  Fan Selector Program
 
Twin City Fan & Blower is pleased to offer their AMCA licensed, Windows®-based Fan Selector Program to assist in quickly evaluating fan selections.
   
  Fan Selection Input Window

After entering the desired characteristics of a fan, the Fan Selector Program will offer several selections. Fan selection options can be evaluated based on: fan type, size, class of construction, blade angle, percent of peak, RPM, BHP, outlet velocity, static efficiency, mechanical efficiency, sound power, sound pressure, LwA, and relative cost. An easy-to-use sort and search feature will make your evaluations a snap.

After selecting the best fan, the user can choose fan accessories from an electronic menu and print detailed reports such as performance data sheets, fan curves and dimensional drawings.

To help make these fan selections quickly, easily, and accurately, the Fan Selector Program offers the following features:
- Seven different curve types to select from including:
  • standard plots
  • single speed plots at a specific RPM
  • multi-speed plots
  • vane setting plots
  • multi-diameter plots
  • multi-blade angle plots
  • speed torque curves at a given WR squared
- Curve options which can include:
  • the addition of a system curve
  • static or mechanical efficiency curve
  • sound values
- Interactive curve feature allows user to instantly obtain performance data of any flow rate on the curve by simply holding and sliding the mouse across the performance curve.
- Wheel diameter and wheel width is automatically determined by the program to match direct drive speeds.
- Ability to set user-defined selection ranges for size, outlet velocity, RPM, BHP, and blade angle.
- Density corrections for temperature, altitude, specific gases, and negative (suction) inlet pressure.
- Sound power levels in eight octave bands and LwA for multiple selections can be compared in the same window or printed. Sound pressure levels (dBA) can be compared at up to 5 desired user-specified distances.
- A "Job File" allows the user to electronically save all fans, accessories, and performance details for a particular project, allowing the user to easily update the data at any time.
- Accessories can be selected and saved via a window of optional accessories. Built-in program intelligence allows the user to choose only the accessories that are available for the particular fan type and arrangement.
- Belt driven and direct drive selections for 60 Hertz and 50 Hertz operation.
- Dimensional drawings can be viewed on-screen or printed with annotations for later reference.
- Max RPMs indicate how close to the operating limits a fan would operate.
- Compare performance differences between product lines as well as axial fan performance differences of different blade angles.
- Ability to select and obtain fan performance data in English or metric units.
- Compare relative cost of different fan types and fan selections.
 
- Reports can be printed to include:
  • dimensional drawings
  • fan selection options
  • fan curves
  • fan specifications
  • fan schedules
  • fan details (fan performance, construction, performance modifications, sound, accessories, etc.).
All reports can be viewed on-screen before printing and can be exported as .rtf files.
