Affinity Laws - HVAC Pumps and Fans
There are basically two sets Which Physical Quantities are involved in it ??
of Pump laws which consist Q --
- Flow
Flowrate
rate
of three relations each. H – Pressure/head
1. With Impeller Diameter P – Power
N – Shaft speed
held constant.
D – Impeller Diameter
2. With Shaft speed held

1. The pump speed is changed when the impeller size is constant. The initial flow is 100 gpm,
the initial head is 100 ft, the initial power is 5 bhp, the initial speed is 1750 rpm and the final
speed 3500 rpm.
Now,
Q1 = 100 gpm
H1 = 100 ft
P1 = 5 bhp
N1 = 1750 rpm
N2 = 3500 rpm
D = Constant.
1. The pump speed is changed when the impeller size is constant. The initial flow is 100 gpm,
the initial head is 100 ft, the initial power is 5 bhp, the initial speed is 1750 rpm and the final
speed 3500 rpm. ....continued
It states that the change in the Total Static Pressure of the Ventilation
system will increase by the square of the change in Propeller Speed
It states that the change in Horsepower required by the Fan to turn the
Propeller will increase by the cube of the of the change in Propeller Speed
