Specific K-Value for Fans and Blowers

03/31/2009 7:17 AM

Somewhere I have read that each fan manufacturer has its own specific K-value.

I would very appreciate if somebody could explain what does the "specific K-value" stands of?

Thanks in advance

similani, the term "specific K-value" is not one that I know, could you give some context in which the term is used. Usually k is the ratio of specific heats when talking compressors.

Dear guest,

thank you for your intent to help.

For better understanding of the context, please, refer to the paragraph 3 on the page 3 of the data sheet that you will find on this address http://en-co.wika.de/upload/DS_SP6904_GB_11612.pdf.

This is a data sheet of the air flow meter that can be set to function with different models of fans and blowers.

With regards

Hi similani

Interesting - I have looked at the information you sent and the answer from me is that I still do not know, but I will try to find out.

Sure: <...each fan manufacturer...> can. Pick up the phone and ask.
