AMCA to launch Level 3 Fan Applications Engineering Seminar
ILLINOIS, USA, 11 August 2025: Air Movement and Control Association International (AMCA) has announced the launch of ‘Fan and Blower Applications Engineering III: Verification and Optimisation’, the third installment in its technical seminar series, taught by Ron Wroblewski, President of Productive Energy Solutions, and William (Bill) Howarth, President of Ventilation & Fan Consulting Service International.
Making the announcement through a Press Release, AMCA said that unlike ‘Fan and Blower Applications Engineering I: Foundations’ and ‘Fan and Blower Applications Engineering II: Troubleshooting and Efficiency,’ which are offered exclusively online, the third instalment of the technical seminar will be delivered in a hybrid format. This will consist of two live webinars, on November 7 and 14, two on-demand modules, and an in-person workshop at AMCA International headquarters in Arlington Heights, Illinois, from November 19 to 21. AMCA added the workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to use pitot tubes, manometers, and a host of other equipment to measure and calculate the flow rate and efficiency of two demonstration fan systems using methods and approaches from AMCA Publication 203, ‘Field Performance Measurement of Fan Systems’ and ISO 5802, ‘Industrial fans – Performance testing in situ’.
AMCA said ‘Fan and Blower Applications Engineering III: Verification and Optimisation’ includes the following modules:
● Intro to In-Situ Fan-Performance Measurements
● Analysing Fan Efficiency Using MEASUR Software
● Calculating Fan Flow Rate and Efficiency Using Test Results
● Fan-Measurement Tips – Optimisation Strategies for Fan Systems
● Theory Refresher: Fan Curves, System Curves, Fan Laws
● Setup of Small Fan System
● Instrumentation Walkthrough
● Fan-Measurement Standards
● Data Collection
● Data Reduction and Analysis
● Data Analysis Using Software
● Troubleshooting and Uncertainty
AMCA said the class size is limited to 24 people to allow for hands-on experience with the instruments. AMCA said that in addition to course-specific workbooks and notes, participants will receive digital copies of ANSI/AMCA Standards 99 (Standards Handbook) and 204 (Balance Quality and Vibration Levels for Fans), as well as AMCA Publications 200 (Air Systems), 201 (Fans and Systems), 202 (Troubleshooting), 203 (Field Performance Measurement of Fan Systems) and 410 (Recommended Safety Practices for the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of Commercial and Industrial Fans).
