  • Patent number: 12163680
    Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to enhance the reliability of determination of occurrence or non-occurrence of surging. Whether or not surging occurs depends on front-rear differential pressure. Therefore, by determining occurrence or non-occurrence of surging on the basis of the front-rear differential pressure, a second unit can detect and avoid surging with higher accuracy than when determining by using the pressure on an outlet side of a second fan.

    Abstract: A fan unit reduces the number of man-hours for a preliminary test and eliminates the need for a trial run at the time of duct connection are realized. A second controller acquires: a rotation speed of a fan motor of a second fan; a volume of air, a wind speed, or front-rear differential pressure of the second fan; and an air volume target value or a wind speed target value for the second fan, and calculates a rotation speed target value Ny for the fan motor 31b by using a first function: Ny=(Qy/Qx)2×?Px×{m×(Qy/Qx)×Vx+p}+n×(Qy/Qx)×Vx+q. Furthermore, when the front-rear differential pressure fluctuates and the wind speed is decreased from Vt to V, the second controller calculates a rotation speed change amount to the rotation speed target value by using a second function: ?N=a×(Vt?V).
