Constant Factor K
The constant factor K is unique for each fan and is primarily a function of the area and
the geometry of the fan inlet. Pre-engineered factors are available from the factory for fan
types where the airflow measurement system is available.
Field-obtained factors can provide maximum accuracy. To obtain the factor in the field,
measure the differential pressure output from the transmitter while measuring the
airflow through the system. Once these two values have been measured, simply solve
for K using the following equation:
External Insulating Requirements
The following areas should be specifically addressed, as applicable:
•
Supply and return water piping connections
•
Supply and return refrigerant piping connections
•
Condensate drain lines and connections
•
Outdoor-air-intake duct connections
•
Discharge duct connections
•
Special requirements for low-temperature-air systems
K = ACFM/SQRT(DP)
Where:
K = Field-provided constant factor.
ACFM = Actual airflow (ft
3
/min) being measured at the air density being measured.
DP = Differential pressure (inches w.g.) being measured by the transmitter.
