FAN SELECTION
FAN STATIC PRESSURE (mm W.G.)

250
To select the most suitable fan for a given application:
200
1 Determine the air volume, in m3/h, needed to give effective
venting and dust control.
150 KS5 2 Estimate the pressure or suction (mm W.G.) in the housing
on which the dust filter is positioned.
KS3 KS7
100
3 Assess the operational pressure drop (mm W.G.) across the
clean side and dirty side of the filtering element – usually
50
KS1
between 50 to 125mm W.G.

4 The sum of 2 and 3 gives the pressure (mm W.G.) required

for fan selection purposes.

AIR VOLUME (m3/h) 5 Consult graph for fan performances available.

NOISE LEVELS
Machinery noise levels are an important consideration in the design and selection of new equipment.
Several EC Directives and National Laws/Regulations adopting these directives make reference to airborne noise emissions.
Actions that employers are required to comply with if employees are subjected to a daily personal
noise exposure Lep,d of 85 dB(A) or more are also specified.
All Siloair filters, when fitted with acoustic diffuser, are below this action limit.

WEIGHTED SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS

All readings were taken in normal industrial areas, i.e. semi-reverberant surroundings, with local equipment silent,
at 1.0 metre radius from the equipment housing and 1.6 metres above base level,
using a precision sound level meter and octave filter.

KS1 KS3 KS5 KS7

With accoustic 74 dB(A) 74 dB(A) 76 dB(A) 79 dB(A)
Without accoustic 83 dB(A) 81 dB(A) 85 dB(A) 87 dB(A)
Noise levels of installed equipment may vary due to site conditions
