由于越来越强调节能，所有风机装置的尺寸和运行必须接近最佳效率。确保任何空气处理系统正常运行的唯一方法是在每天运行期间对风扇和安装进行现场测试和监控。然而，这说起来容易做起来难。大多数人不熟悉所需的测试数据类型，也不熟悉如何获取数据。出于这些原因，编写了现场风机系统性能测量指南的附录A。附录A必须与指南的主要端口1以及AMCA风扇应用手册的第一部分和第二部分一起使用。附录A介绍了各种典型的现场安装，并提供了一些合理的指南，用于获取应用系统影响因素和计算最终试验结果所需的试验数据。 测试任何风机安装的一般方法可分为12个单独的步骤。如果遵循这些步骤，它们将为测试几乎所有应用程序提供足够的指导。前六个步骤是获取所有必要测试数据的说明。第二系列六个步骤涉及将测试数据缩减为最终结果。引文:德克萨斯州达拉斯ASHRAE交易会第82卷第1部分研讨会

The increased emphasis being placed upon the conservation of energy makes it imperative that all fan installations be sized and operated near optimum efficiency. The only way to insure that any air-handling system is performing correctly is to field-test and monitor the fan and installation during every day of operation. However, this is easier said than done. Most people are not familiar with the type of test data required nor how to obta1n it. For these reasons Appendix A of A Guide to the Measurement of Fan-System Performance in the Field was written. Appendix A must be used in conjunction with the major port1on of the Guide as well as Parts One and Two of the AMCA Fan Application Manual. Appendix A presents a variety of typ1cal field installations, and offers some rational guidelines for obtaining the necessary test data for the application of system effect factors and for the calculation of final test results.The general approach to testing any fan installation can be divided into twelve individual steps. If theae steps are followed, they will provide sufficient guidance for testing nearly every application. The first six steps are 1nstructions for obtaining all the necessary test data. The second series of six steps involve reducing the test data into final results.
