Fan affinity law : Affinity laws can be used to calculate volume capacity, head or power consumption - when speed or rpm, and wheel diameters are changed

The Affinity Laws of centrifugal pumps or fans can be used to express the influence on volume capacity, head (pressure) or power consumption of a pump or fan due to 1. change in speed of wheel - revolutions per minute (rpm) 2. geometrically similarity - change in impeller diameter Note that the affinity laws for pumps are not identical with fans.

Fan Affinity Laws
Volume Capacity

The volume capacity of a centrifugal fan can be expressed like q1 / q2 = (n1 / n2)(d1 / d2)3 (1) where q = volume flow capacity (m3/s, gpm, cfm, ..) n = wheel velocity - revolution per minute - (rpm) d = wheel diameter
Head or Pressure

The head or pressure of a centrifugal fan can be expressed like dp1 / dp2 = (n1 / n2)2 (d1 / d2)2 (2) where

dp = head or pressure (m, ft, Pa, psi, ..)
Power

The power consumption of a centrifugal fan can be expressed as P1 / P2 = (n1 / n2)3 (d1 / d2)5 (3) where P = power (W, bhp, ..)
Changing the Wheel Velocity

If the wheel diameter is constant - change in fan wheel velocity can simplify the affinity laws to
Volume Capacity

q1 / q2 = (n1 / n2) (1a)
Head or Pressure

dp1 / dp2 = (n1 / n2)2 (2a)
Power

P1 / P2 = (n1 / n2)3 (3a)

Note! If the speed of a fan is increased with 10%
  

the volume flow increases with 10% the head increases with 21% the power increases with 33 %

If the volume flow capacity of an existing system is increased with 10% the power supply is increased with 33%. The electrical motor and power supply may need an upgrade.

Changing the Impeller Diameter

If wheel velocity is constant a change in impeller diameter can simplify the affinity laws to
Volume Capacity

q1 / q2 = (d1 / d2)3 (1b)
Head or Pressure

dp1 / dp2 = (d1 / d2)2 (2b)
Power

P1 / P2 = (d1 / d2)5 (3b)
