Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / centrifugal fans for petroleum/gas/chemical industry
English term or phrase: wide open volume
Es geht um die Erzielung des besten Wirkungsgrades eines Zentrifugalventilators.

Highest efficiencies occur 50% to 65% of wide open volume. This is also the area of good pressure characteristics. The horsepower curve reaches a maximum near the peak efficiency area and becomes lower toward free delivery, a sell-limiting power characteristic as shown.
