CHAPTERS FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE:

Systems and Equipment section of the Handbook Chapter 18 Fans

Our Handbook Chapter is reviewed, revised and updated once every four years. The review process is scheduled for completion about a year earlier than the publication date. The responsibility for the update is the duty of the Sub Committee Chair and the staff appointed by him.

The handbook is one of the most important communication vehicles between the Society and its members. The present challenge is to make certain that the chapter covers all the of the basic fan design and application theory is terms that are clear to most people. Some future challenges include a smooth transition toward the use of an electronic Handbook with the possibility of an interactive presentation.

The recent changes included expanding the topic concerning vibration efficiency as well as some additional discussion on the definition of the temperature rise across the fan.
