The blower is designed on the basis of:
g
The thermal power to be drawn from the heat
exchangers in order to achieve the right flow rate
g
The head loss in the circuit, in order to set the
pressure.
The ventilation power is adjusted by
a device that controls the blower speed.
Two types of adjusting devices are used:
g
Passive resistive devices that are adjusted
in steps and contain two or three resistors
corresponding to three or four speeds.
The resistors are made of wire coils or
mounted on a ceramic support.
g
Power transistors for continuous
adjustment.
The type of control device is determined
by the system architecture.
