Tube Fan Ventilation for Pre-Weaned Calf Barns: Part 2 Fan Considerations

Abstract

While fans all perform the basic function of moving air from one space to another, they are designed for a wide range of applications. For an application to work as intended the fan and system must be compatible from both a performance and design standpoint. Selecting a fan requires the consideration of various characteristics such as fan type, flow control, and output. This fact sheet outlines several of the major considerations relating to fan type, rating parameters, and design.
