Specifying Blower Parameters

You can specify the parameters of a blower component to fit your specific scenario. These parameters override the parameters that you specified when defining the blower component.

This task shows you how to:

About Blower Components

Specify a Predefined Fan Curve

  1. From the E-Cooling section of the action bar, click Blower .
  2. Optional: Enter a descriptive Name.
  3. From the 3D area, select a blower component as the support.
  4. From the Operating point options, select Predefined.
  5. From the Fan curve options, select one of the predefined fan curves associated with the blower component.
  6. Click OK.

Derate the Fan Curve

  1. From the E-Cooling section of the action bar, click Blower .
  2. Optional: Enter a descriptive Name.
  3. In the 3D area, select a blower component as the support.
  4. From the Operating point options, select Derate from predefined.
  5. Enter a value for the RPM, which is the impeller's revolutions per minute (RPM).
  6. From the Baseline curve options, select one of the predefined fan curves associated with the blower component.
  7. Enter a value for the Derating factor, which is an internal scaling factor applied to the fan curve based on the baseline fan curve's RPM and the operating RPM specified.
  8. Click OK.

Specify a New Fan Curve

  1. From the E-Cooling section of the action bar, click Blower .
  2. Optional: Enter a descriptive Name.
  3. In the 3D area, select a blower component as the support.
  4. From the Operating point options, select Specify new.
  5. Add a fan curve to dynamically change the intake of flow into the blower.
    1. Enter a value for the RPM, which is the impeller's revolutions per minute (RPM).
    2. In the table, enter data points for the Volume Flow Rate and the Pressure Jump to define the relationship between the volume flow rate and pressure rise for a constant RPM.
  6. Click OK.
