Leak Check The Purpose of the leak check is to locate the major leaks in the enclosure before performing the door fan test. Often large holes are located that must then be sealed before the door fan test can begin. Sometimes the smoke test identifies dampers that are not closing correctly or not at all. If so, that damper must be repaired before the test can proceed. Leak check. Blow air in to get +15 Pa room pressure & use smoke to locate leaks in: Rocker switch selects betwee

Smoke test & measure static pressure The purpose of this test is to see whether there is a static pressure in the room prior to the door fan test. The door fan is not running and smoke is puffed in front of an open hole in the blower. If it moves slowly or not at all, no pressure exists. Minor pressures are cancelled out by testing both directions so we are therefore looking for significant movement of 2 mph (3kph). If the zone outside the enclosure is not completely connected wit

Select Blower Range Principles of Infiltrometer Air Flow Measurement The Infiltrometer can accurately measure airflow between 18 CFM and 6500 CFM. However, in order to measure accurately over this wide range, the range must be changed as described in the following section. The Infiltrometer fan blade pushes air out the back of the fan creating a negative pressure in front of the blades. This negative pressure pulls air through the fan's rounded (venturi) shaped inlet.
