This publication is intended to provide basic information needed to design effective and energy efficient air systems. in those cases where the system handles a gas other than air, the design data must be modified to allow for the different physical properties of the gas being used.
Air Systems is intended to provide basic information needed to design effective and energy efficient air systems. Discussion is limited to systems where there is a clear separation of the fan inlet and outlet and does not cover applications in which fans are used only to circulate air in an open space.
This publication includes general information about how fans are tested in the laboratory, and how their performance ratings are calculated and published. It also reviews some of the more important reasons for the "loss" of fan performance that may occur when the fan is installed in an actual system. Allowances, called System Effect Factors (SEF), are also given in this part of the manual. SEF must be taken into account by the system design engineer if a reasonable estimate of fan/system performance is to be determined.
After the installation of an air moving system is completed, a system sometimes fails to achieve its designed performance. Publication 202 will help the reader identify what is wrong and decide how to correct it.

This standard provides a method to estimate the input power and overall efficiency of an extended fan system. An extended fan system is composed of a fan and an electric motor but may also include a transmission and a motor controller. While direct measurement of fan system performance is preferred, the large number of fan system configurations often makes testing impractical. This standard offers a standardized method to estimate fan system performance by modeling commonly used components. Calculations reported in accordance with this standard offers fan users a tool to compare alternative fan system configurations in a consistent and uniform manner. This document does not provide selection guidance. Users must assure that selected components have sufficient capacity and are configured to produce the desired results.
This Standard is intended to provide a basis for accurately rating the performance of fans when tested under standardized laboratory conditions.

The Purpose and Scope of the AMCA 211-22 edition still apply to this version. The focus of the 2023 revision was to coordinate the AMCA CRP with the US DOE requirements. The changes were only made to Section 9.11, “Rating method N: Large-diameter ceiling fans,” the title of Section 20 and to Section 22, “Product Rating Requirements for Large-Diameter Ceiling Fans.” Major changes include: 1. Adding the DOE definition of a large diameter ceiling fan. 2. Adding to the list of rating requirements: Number of available fan speeds, capability of reverse flow, and if fan speed controls are separate from lighting controls (if applicable). 3. Allowing ratings of standby power consumption to be conservative. 4. Added testing voltage requirements for LDCFs regulated by the US DOE and having polyphase electricity. These changes could impact the certification process. They will become mandatory after board approval for all new certifications. LDCFs destined for the US Market and already certified must meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 430; 10 CFR Part 429; and Section 325(ff)(6) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6295(ff)(6)) by February 13, 2023. All other LDCFs that are already certified will have three years to meet the new requirements, if needed.

The charts and formulae given in this bulletin are for the purpose of estimating the loudness of fans as installed, and take into consideration room size and acoustical qualities as well as the number and loudness ratings of the fans. It will be necessary to know the acoustical characteristics of other noise sources within the room to be able to estimate the total loudness of all sources. For the addition of sounds, it is assumed that the noise spectrums are similar. The room effect chart is for the reverberant field in the room, and applies everywhere except in the space near the fan. Within this space, the direct sound field can be estimated and added to the reverberant field to obtain total loudness.

This standard deals with the determination of technical characteristics needed to verify manufacturing of the specified performance characteristics of jet fans for longitudinal applications (e.g., thrust and airflow). It does not cover those fans designed for ducted applications, nor those designed solely for air circulation (e.g., ceiling fans and table fans). Additionally, the test procedures described in this standard relate to laboratory conditions only. The measurement of performance under in-situ conditions is not part of this standard.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a uniform laboratory method for determining an induced flow fan's aerodynamic performance in terms of airflow rate, pressure developed, power consumption, air density, speed of rotation and efficiency. This standard is an adjunct to ANSI/AMCA 210 in order to accommodate the induced flow fan's unique characteristics.

1. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to establish a laboratory method for determining the aerodynamic performance of fan arrays. Key performance metrics are airflow rate, pressures, shaft power and electrical power for fan arrays. This standard is an adjunct to ANSI/AMCA Standard 210 to accommodate unique requirements of fan arrays. 2. Scope This standard is limited to testing and reporting aerodynamic performance and fan electrical power (FEP) of fans employing direct-drive transmissions, including: Optional calculation of fan shaft power based on motor calibration and measurement of electrical input power of individual fans or an overall fan array. Optional partitions between fans. Optional appurtenances or design features that affect aerodynamic performance. Optional speed controllers serving individual fans, groups of fans or all fans of the array. Exclusions: Fan arrays using mechanical transmissions, such as belt drives or gear drives. Fan arrays that control individual fans to different speeds. Fan arrays using different fan types or sizes. Fan arrays using individually ducted fan inlets, fan outlets or both. Fan arrays that cannot directly accept sinusoidal AC electric power or DC power.
This standard applies to fans of all types and sizes. This standard is limited to the determination of airborne sound emission for the specified setups. Vibration is not measured, nor is the sensitivity of airborne sound emission to vibration effects determined.
