AMCA to host online seminar on fan and blower systems
ILLINOIS, United States, 19 September 2025: Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International announced the next instalment of its technical seminar series, Fan and Blower Applications Engineering II: Troubleshooting and Efficiency, which will begin on October 3. Making the announcement through a Press Release, AMCA said the course is part of its now three-part series focused on fan and blower applications.
According to AMCA, the Level II seminar will combine live virtual instruction with self-paced online learning, and the sessions will run on October 3, 10, 17 and 24 October, from 9am to noon CDT.
AMCA said Ron Wroblewski, President, Productive Energy Solutions, and William Howarth, President, Ventilation & Fan Consulting Service International, will teach the course.
According to AMCA, participants who complete all programme requirements will receive 18 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits.
AMCA said the Level II course will include the following modules:
· Selecting and specifying the best fan for an application
· Diagnosing and identifying sources of fan problems
· Psychrometrics for fan systems
· Fan-system troubleshooting
· Heat recovery in industrial and commercial fan systems
· Bearings in fan systems
· Balance quality and vibration
· Introduction to Fan Energy Index (FEI)
· Calculating FEI
· System effect in fan systems
· Belts and couplings
· Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in fan systems
AMCA said the class size is limited, and that registration will close at noon CDT on October 1.
AMCA said it will also be conducting a seminar, titled Fan and Blower Applications Engineering III: Verification and Optimisation, on November 7. Unlike the previous courses, AMCA said, Level III will follow a hybrid format, combining webinars, on-demand modules and a hands-on workshop at AMCA International headquarters, in Arlington Heights, Illinois from November 19 to 21. The course, AMCA said, will feature practical exercises using pitot tubes, manometers and other equipment to measure flow rate and efficiency in fan systems, referencing AMCA Publication 203 and ISO 5802.
