Agricultural Ventilation Fans, Performance and Efficiencies

The BESS Lab has recently updated and expanded Agricultural Ventilation Fans, Performance and Efficiencies.  This publication provides the livestock/poultry housing designer and greenhouse designer an unbiased source of performance data for over 300 commercially available ventilation fans ranging in sizes from 8” – 54” in diameter. 

The fans are grouped according to size, so comparisons can easily be made between manufacturers and models.  A section listing performance for variable speed fans operating at several voltages is also included.  Performance data at multiple speeds allows building operators to get a better handle on their ventilation rates, and power usage, when fans are running at reduced speeds.

In addition to the performance listings, an introductory section discusses the basics of fan selection.Copies of Agricultural Ventilation Fans, Performance and Efficiencies can be purchased for:
