CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals – From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)

Webinar
Virtual Event Virtual Event

Know nothing about fans? Perfect! We’ll cover the most fundamental topics like pressure gradients and the fan laws to build your understanding of both Axial and Centrifugal fans. Don’t worry, we make it fun with lots of demonstrations and animations, while tying some of these concepts to the early days of aviation and even cows. Yes, cows. Fans excel at one simple job: moving air. Yet, most people don’t really know how they do so, and that’s ok! But if you’re not most people and want to learn about these neat machines, you’re at the right place.

Fan Performance Curves- A Deep Dive (On-Demand)

Webinar

Fan Performance Curves - A Deep Dive – 1 Hour Credit Course Description: Let’s build a fan curve! We’ll start by collecting data on a real fan, and then use the fan laws to extrapolate all the require data. Then we’ll use the curves to size up fans and motors, and along the way we’ll look into eEiciency’s, safety margins, density, and even system eEect. We condensed a wealth of knowledge into 1 video that connects all the dots. Prerequisite Knowledge: None.
