Fan System Specialist Qualification


Co-Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy
The process of upgrading the efficiency and effectiveness of plan fan systems is called optimization. Optimization of fan systems can take many forms, but any fan optimization project must meet the needs of the process and ensure the safety of plant staff.

This two and a half-day skill-building workshop is designed to help energy efficiency consultants become competent in using FSAT software so that they can successfully analyze industrial system optimization potential.

During this course, participants will review the Fan System Optimization Checklist and the appropriate use of instruments in taking fan system measurements, develop a measurement plan, use FSAT to evaluate fan systems, learn to work around limitations of FSAT when modeling fan systems, and analyze field data from a fan performance test. Participants who pass the 4-hour written qualification exam at the end of this training will receive DOE certification as FSAT Qualified Specialists.

Course Requirements
Prerequisite
Participants are required to complete the Fan System Assessment End User training prior to enrolling in the Specialist Qualification course.  End User material will be tested in the qualification exam.

Participants also need to have a working knowledge of FSAT features, fan system characteristics (i.e. selection, control), fan affinity laws, field performance testing techniques and fan system optimization strategies.

Workshop Material:
  • Laptop loaded with FSAT Software
  • AMCA Manuals 200, 201, 202, and 203
  • Portable fan measurement tools
Note: The required AMCA Manual may be purchased for an additional fee of $100. This three-day course is $295 and includes training materials, continental breakfast and lunches. Participants are responsible for their own accommodations; however, blocks of rooms are reserved for their convenience, but released one month prior to the course.
